Brewing the perfect cup of coffee is an art, and at American Epic Coffee, we believe that everyone deserves to enjoy a cup of coffee that’s rich, flavorful, and expertly brewed. Whether you're a seasoned coffee connoisseur or just starting your coffee journey, these tips will help you brew the best cup every time using our premium blends.
First, start with high-quality, freshly ground coffee. We recommend using a burr grinder to achieve a consistent grind size that matches your brewing method. For our bold blends, a medium to coarse grind works best, especially if you're using a French press or pour-over.
Next, use clean, filtered water at the right temperature—between 195°F and 205°F. Too hot or too cold, and your coffee won’t extract properly, leading to a bitter or underwhelming flavor.
The ideal coffee-to-water ratio is typically 1:15, but feel free to adjust based on your personal taste preferences. If you like your coffee stronger, use a little more coffee, and if you prefer a milder cup, use a bit less.
Finally, make sure to store your coffee beans in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to preserve their freshness. With these tips, you’ll brew the perfect cup of American Epic Coffee every time.
