What each ingredient does
- Coffee berries
- Provide the flavour compounds that are extracted into the water to make the drink.
The step that matters
Steeping the grounds. Steeping too briefly leaves the coffee weak and sour, while steeping too long extracts bitter compounds. Timing controls how much flavour is drawn out of the grounds.
