COFFEE BREWING GUIDE
THE COFFEE
Choose your filter coffee grounds wisely. It is best to use grounds made
from premium whole beans from a trusted brand or roaster. Arabica beans
provide the best flavours and have less caffeine, while Robusta beans are
easier to grow and less expensive, they have less flavour and higher caffeine
content. Robusta beans are sometimes used in blends to add a particular
bitterness to the brew.
Beans can be roasted very lightly to provide a smooth aromatic taste or
roasted dark to provide stronger flavours, and anywhere in between.
A good roaster will be able to describe the flavours that the beans will impart
to your brewed coffee.
Note: experiment with coffee grounds made from different beans and dif-
ferent roasts to identify one or several that suit your tastes.
