How Do You Brew Your Coffee?

Did you know that the flavour of your coffee is influenced by the way that you brew it and especially the brewer that you use? Perhaps more mind blowing is that despite the many and various types of brewing kit available on the market there are actually only two basic methods of brewing coffee. This episode takes a look at the range of coffee brewing kit out there and how your choice of brewer may be affecting your coffee experience. This week’s FACQ tackles the question of the best way to brew coffee - and the answer may surprise you.

Coffee brewers by brewing method:

Immersion (the grounds are submerged in water)
Cafetiere, (also called a plunger or French press)
Cold brewers (e.g. the Toddy brewer)
Ibrik or cezve (also called Turkish coffee)

Percolation (water passes throughout the grounds)
Filter cone (also called drip or pour-over:  V60, Kalita Wave and Chemex)
Stovetop espresso brewer (also called moka pot or Bialetti) 
Espresso machines, including coffee pod machines

Hybrid brewers (these use immersion to extract the coffee then pass the liquid through a filter) 
Aeropress 
Clever dripper and Hario Switch brewer (basically the same thing but different brands)
Vacuum brewers (e.g. Siphon or Cona)
