Are you a coffee lover who likes to experiment with how you brew your coffee? Since you are reading this blog, we assume you do. The way you prepare your coffee is one of the factors that decide how refreshing you are going to feel every time you take it. Typically, coffee prepared using a drip method tends to bring you a fresh taste of coffee in every drop, whereas the cold brew method brings an icy and sweet flavor with no bitterness.
As coffee evolved and expanded into different cultures across the world, the way it was made also evolved. Whether you use The Caphe Vietnam’s Fine Robusta or any of its premium quality coffee, you can give your coffee a distinct taste by choosing to brew it differently. So, what are the popular coffee brewing methods that you can use at home? Read on to find out.
Popular Coffee Brewing Methods
As you change your geography, you will realize that the coffee brewing method changes with people and region, providing versatility to the coffee flavors and bringing new coffee culture into the world. Nevertheless, we have mentioned the four most popular methods that you can try at home.
Pour-over Method
This method of brewing coffee is one of the quickest ways to make coffee in the morning, especially when you are getting late for work. Often confused with drip coffee, pour-over coffee is different and doesn’t require the use of a coffee machine. The process involves pouring hot water over a cone with a paper filter containing ground coffee, allowing gravity to take over and ensuring brewed coffee is collected in a mug.
AeroPress Method
Compared to the other brewing methods, AeroPress method uses a much lower brew temperature due to the pressure used to extract the flavors of the coffee. The method typically involves two main tools, i.e., AeroPress and AeroPress filter. The process works effectively in removing the carbon dioxide present in the freshly roasted coffee and making smooth and rich coffee.
Cold Brew Method
The cold brew method is one of the most popular coffee brewing processes, used for preparing coffee in large quantities and can last for two weeks. It is a simple method that involves using cold water instead of hot water and has a long steeping process – 12-24 hours. This method allows you to get a strong coffee with the least bitterness as the cold water dilutes the acidic taste of the coffee.
Phin Filter Method
The Caphe Vietnam’s Phin Filter is a traditional Vietnamese drip-style brewer made of aluminum and is ideal for making strong and bold coffee quickly. Made up of 4 parts – a coffee chamber, perforated filter plate, gravity press, and a lid, Phin Filter, when paired with Caphe Vietnam’s robusta coffee, brings you an interesting experience enabling you to enjoy the full freshness of coffee in every drop.
Phin coffee, an indispensable symbol in Vietnamese coffee culture, is an important part of the sophisticated coffee experience. The working principle of phin coffee is the delicate combination of hot water and ground coffee, creating a delicious cup of coffee with a characteristic aroma and moderate strength.
The process of filtering each drop of coffee through the small filter layer of the phin filter helps retain the delicate flavor, creating a rich cup of coffee without bitterness. Moreover, using filter coffee is also a way for the coffee makers to show their technique and passion for the art of making coffee. It is not just about drinking coffee but also a long-term experience, where each drop of coffee is a feat and dedication from the maker.
