The simple act of making a cup of coffee is in fact wrought with potential pitfalls. There are many occasions when a freshly brewed cup leaves a bitter taste in the mouth or becomes an unsatisfying lack luster experience. So what are the solutions, and how can coffee brewing mistakes be fixed.

The art of correct concoction is not alchemy and for the perfect cup there are some basic principals which will ensure an aromatic refreshing beverage. These steps are grain quality, water quality, measuring, and cleanliness.

For the perfect cup, the correct grains need to be used. The flavor is down to personal preference as there are so many varieties on the market. The beans that grown in Costa Rica will have a different strength and flavor to Kenya beans. However what is important is if the beans are stale which unfortunately is a common problem.

To help guarantee freshness it is a good idea to purchase a small grinder and to grind just the required amount for each brew. It is also important to buy roasted beans from a reputable supplier as some beans are already stale on purchase. Ground beans should be bought in sealed packs and stored in air-tight containers after opening.

With self ground and pre-ground beans think about the coarseness. A medium grind blend is a safe option for most drip brewers. However it is known that finer blends are normally used for shorter brew times, and courser grains produce better result with longer infusion times.

A ground bean can not become a cup of coffee without the other key ingredient, water. Although most of us give little thought to this odorless liquid we should. Water direct from the tap contains many additives which sometimes react under heating processes. Always filter water before infusion to avoid any nasty chemical tastes.

The amount of grains used is always a bit of a mystery but contrary to popular believes it is not always the more grains used the stronger the cup. As the aroma and strength of coffee varies from bean to bean, plus other factors such brew time and freshness it is difficult to determine an exact ration. However follow the basic formula of the capacity of water divided by six to equal the number of standard scoops.

The last consideration is the cleanliness of the machine. Regardless of the type, the machine should always be clean. The pot or vestibule to collect the infusion should be properly washed, rinsed and dried for each and every brew.
