Making an amazing cup of coffee is no less than a skill. Only a coffee lover can understand that apart from buying the best quality coffee beans, you also need to master some tricks to make a perfect cup of coffee.
Here are eight amazing coffee hacks that will step your game up immensely:
- Never store your coffee beans in the freezer:
One of the misconceptions people have is that if they keep their coffee beans or grounds in the freezer, they will stay fresh. This is not true because the freezer can keep the beans cold but not fresh at all. To keep coffee beans fresh, you need to keep them away from light, heat, or moisture. For this purpose, you can use an airtight jar and keep it in a cabinet away from sunlight or the stove’s heat.
- Keep experimenting to make your flavored syrups:
Everyone’s coffee taste is different. Find out your favorite coffee flavor by adjusting the amount of sweetener.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the coffee grounds:
Unfortunately, if you are trying out low-quality coffee beans that aren’t fresh, then the easiest and quickest way to add new life to your cup of coffee is adding a pinch of cinnamon to the grounds before adding water. If you love experimenting with your coffee, try adding nutmeg, cloves, or even cardamom.
- Add a pinch of salt to reduce bitterness:
Did you know that adding a pinch of salt before adding water to the grinds can make your coffee less bitter?
- Try to make some fluffy and delicious cold brew for drinking iced instead of hot:
Cold-brew is a coffee-making method which is also known as the no-heat brewing method. This method involves letting the coffee grounds steep in the water for a very long time (approximately 12 hours). It will help to make a very smooth brew. To make a perfect brew, you will need a jar, water, and coarsely ground coffee beans. After a brew, you will concentrate that you can either drink straight or add some ice or milk. You can also heat it, if like hot coffee brew.
- Make your flavored creamer instead of a store-bought one:
Avoid store-bought creamer because it has added sugar or even trans fats that are harmful to your health. You can make your creamer by just adding vanilla or almond extract to the cream, along with a pinch of your favorite sweetener. If you want a more rich flavor, you can also add condensed milk.
- Are you a non-diary drinker? Then try your vanilla cashew milk.
For coffee, not all non-dairy milk need to be scoffed. Making vanilla cashew at home is very easy. You can learn how to make your vanilla cashew milk from YouTube.
- Have you tried the coffee ice cubes instead of water?
As we know, the iced coffee season is around the corner. Avoid those boring water ice cubes for your brew and make coffee ice cubes.
