DreamyDiver+FollowFilter Coffee: The Simple Steps for a Perfect BrewFill your coffee maker’s reservoir with clean, filtered water. This really makes a difference in taste and keeps your machine running longer. Insert your filter—paper or reusable, just make sure it fits well. I prefer unbleached paper filters since they don’t add any weird flavors. Measure out your coffee. Go for medium to medium-fine grounds, and use about 1 heaping tablespoon per 5 ounces of water. Freshly ground beans always taste better! Place the grounds in the filter, set up your machine, and hit the brew button. Some machines let you customize strength, so play around with that if you like a bolder cup. Once it’s done, don’t let the coffee sit on the burner too long or it’ll get that burnt taste. Clean up right away—old grounds and leftover coffee can get gross fast. Honestly, a good filter and fresh water are the real secrets to a great cup every morning. #FilterCoffee #CoffeeRoutine #BrewBetter #Food #Cooking20Share
DriftwoodDream+FollowPerfect Coffee Every Time: Scoop It Right!Measure out 1 scoop (2 tablespoons) of coffee grounds for every 6 fl oz (180 ml) of water. This is the sweet spot for most drip coffee makers. Adjust the ratio if you like your coffee stronger or milder. For a richer cup, try a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio. For something smoother, go with 1:18. If you’re using whole beans, use about 4 tablespoons (10.6 g) per cup, which is roughly 75-80 beans. Grind them fresh for the best flavor. For French press or pour-over, stick to 1 scoop per cup, but use coarser grounds for French press and medium-coarse for pour-over. Cold brew? Start with a 1:15 ratio for ready-to-drink or 1:5 for concentrate. Once you dial in your favorite ratio, you’ll never have to suffer through weak or bitter coffee again! #CoffeeTips #BrewBetter #CoffeeLovers #Food #Cooking40Share
