The Art of Making Fresh Coffee with a Bean to Cup Machine

Sick of the leftover (not so) great coffee you drink every morning? If you wake up to coffee that's so blah, or wakes you not at all, then learn the secret to fresh coffee using a bean-to-cup machine! With a few helpful tips and quality tools, you can brew the right cup of coffee that tastes good, smells heavenly, and will wake you up and put a big smile on your face.

Just for you to know how to extract the best flavor from a bean-to-cup machine

Here are tips to achieve the best flavor and smell from your bean-to-cup machine. You have to select the right grind for your coffee beans. Depending on which coffee beans are used, the grind will vary according to the strength desired from the brew. A lighter cup will normally be produced with a coarse grind, while finer grinds work well for quicker extraction and stronger flavors.

The temperature of your water matters too. Ideally, to best enhance flavor and extract out sweet notes from your coffee beans, water should be maintained between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit. If temperature cannot be adjusted, another tip is filtering your water instead of using plain tap water previously from the faucet for further enhancement! 

Finally, the brewing duration should also be timed. Another critical thing about brewing coffee is the brew time. Your coffee should have a steeping time of maybe from 3-4 minutes, give or take a few seconds, depending on your cup's size and how strong your liking is with your coffee. If you play around with brewing time, you should get a perfect cup.

Having read some expert tips for brewing coffee with a bean-to-cup Hot Beverage Machine, let's delve into some specific techniques that will help you improve your coffee and make it even more enjoyable.

Even if it is brand new, a very useful tip is weighing the coffee beans with a scale. That way, you are sure that you will be working with the same amount of beans with every brew you make. Consistency of flavor every time you brew comes from using the same amount; another tip is to always clean your machine. Proper cleaning ensures no buildup of old coffee oils or residues to compromise flavor quality during your next brew.

For instance, do you know that the shape and the material of your mug can actually influence the flavor of your coffee? A porcelain mug generally gives a smoother taste of the drink than a metal mug, which can affect its flavor. Just as the grind size of the coffee makes a lot of difference, so does the kind of water used. Hard water users will say that their coffee does not taste as good as that made with soft water or filtered water.
