That said, it’s best you know how to make your own coffee in a coffee makers. It’s pretty simple, all you will need is just ground coffee, coffee maker, coffee filter, and cold water.

You simply have to use the right grind. The first thing to do is insert the filter, put coffee into it, then fill the pot with water.

How can I get the best home brewed coffee?

Question by : How can I get the best home brewed coffee?
I drink a lot of coffee but want better quality coffee. I work the night shift and survive off it. Any and all advice pertaining to home brewed coffee is welcome.

Best answer:

Answer by CCRN
First of all buy some coffee! What I mean is something that is made in smaller batches and preferably from somewhere close to you that roasts their own beans. Next, if you use it relatively quickly grind it at the store from whole beans or, if you don’t use it quickly bring home whole beans and grind yourself. Finally find a brewing method you like the most. For a very strong cup get a French press but keep in mind that it will be messy. Otherwise get a drip coffee maker that lets you adjust the brewing strength and play with it until you get it to where you like it.

Coffee: What is the difference between regular and higher end other than flavor?

Question by Querious: Coffee: What is the difference between regular and higher end other than flavor?
I am highly sensitive to caffeine in coffee. If I have two cups in the morning, I’m shaking like a leaf.If I have a Starbucks after noon, I will have a lousy night’s sleep.

However, in Hawaii, I had two cups of 100% Kona (at $ 25/pound) and no problems whatsoever. No hand shakiness, no weird feeling. Is there a difference with higher quality coffees in the affect of the caffeine?

Best answer:

Answer by slaarwalhz
Maybe you got decaffeinated by mistake when you were in Hawaii? You should opt for decaffeinated coffee. That would make you feel better during the day.

Kopi Luwak

What sets Kopi Luwak apart from ordinary coffee is the involvement of Civet. A civet is small nocturnal mammal found in tropical Asia and Africa, particularly in the tropical forests. They eat fresh coffee berries but they can’t fully digest it, so they defecate the seed in its original form. The Civet droppings are then collected, cleaned, dried, roasted, and then ground.

Albeit the fact that Kopi Luwak is relatively similar to other coffee in other parts of the world, production-wise, it offers some unique characteristics. It has a rather lighter bitter taste to it as compared to other coffee which is allegedly caused by the absorption of the bitterness in the Civet’s digestion. It also offers an assortment of flavors that are all sweet. This particular way of coffee processing and the top-of-the-line quality of the final brew are the main reasons why Kopi Luwak is the most luxurious coffee in the world ever since, and still holds true today.

Kopi Luwak never undergoes intense roasting. A good brief roast is all it takes to come up with a flavor that is only one of its kind. As of the moment, the Sumatra region of Indonesia is the leading producer of Kopi Luwak.

The distinctiveness and exceptionality of coffee processed in such method paved way for the study in an attempt to find out why its brew is of such high quality. Such study showed that endogenous secretions of Civet penetrate into fresh coffee berries eaten by Civet. These secretions have enzymes that break down protein found in the berries causing higher levels of amino acids and less peptides and decrease in the bitterness, making it possible to come up with such unique flavor.

The safety of this particular method of processing coffee cause a stir at first because scientists believe that the fresh coffee berries go through the digestive system of Civet so there was a possibility that the defecated berries have organisms detrimental to human health. This can somehow be true, but it can be contraindicated by means of killing the microorganisms through thorough washing, drying, and roasting.

Processing this coffee takes a lot of time and effort as harvesters have to go collecting dropped clumps of coffee berries, no wonder Kopi Luwak is priced pretty high. People in Japan, USA, and certain parts of Asia are raving about this type of coffee. You can avail of Kopi Luwak in coffee outlets or selected coffee houses.
