Not all of us have the time (or money) to go to a packed cafe and wait 2 hours just for a cuppa. In this article I will give you the guide on how to make a delicious cup of coffee.
What do you need to brew?
Now before we give you the recipe, you will need some equipment to help you achieve your goals.
Thermometer
You will need a thermometer to check your water temperature[1]. Technically you can check your temperature without thermometer but you'll need a very specific set of skills.[2]
Scale
You probably have a scale in your kitchen, but I will recommend you get a digital scale. As a rule of thumb the more sensitive the better.[3]
Grinder
Trust me, if you love coffee you will not regret purchasing a good grinder. You don't need to buy the top of the line (because it's expensive and kinda overkill), try to get one with burrs as opposed to blades.[4]
Kettle
You can use the kettle at home or you can buy the one with the thermometer already incorporated.[5]
Timer
You can just use your phone.
What kind of Coffee should I choose?
In this recipe we generally use medium - medium dark roast. But you do you! Try an espresso blend if you want! But be sure the bean quality is premium, otherwise your coffee will be pretty general and stale.
If you want to find good quality coffee beans, you may try a local roastery and ask the barista. My recommendation would be degencoffee.wtf . They have a spectacular roast profile because their beans are roasted by a master roaster and their selection is superb… My favorite is Illuminati Single Origin.
Now that you have your coffee, let's brew
Cowboy coffee (this is the premium)
Ingredients:
18 gr coarse grind coffee

Step by step:

Tubruk Coffee

150 ml water

Put the grounds into a cup
Heat up the water to 93°C

Wait for 4 minutes
Stir 3 times slowly on the top to makes the grounds go to the bottom

P.S : this is kinda my own way to do tubruk coffee
What about the other methods?
There remain many brewing methods that I don't include in this article for the sake of simplicity. I will talk about them in future posts! So be sure to follow along and nerd out with me about coffee with me next time🤓
See you soon!
