What each ingredient does
- Coffee
- Ground coffee provides the flavor and aroma that the hot water extracts.
- Boiling water
- Hot water dissolves flavor compounds from the ground coffee as it passes through.
The step that matters
Slowly pour the boiling water over the coffee. Pouring slowly lets the water saturate the grounds and extract flavor evenly. Pouring too fast can rush through, leaving the brew weak, or overflow the grounds.
