What each ingredient does
- Ground coffee
- Provides the main flavour, aroma and bitterness that the water extracts into the cup.
The step that matters
Filter instead of boiling. Boiling grounds extracts bitter compounds quickly and can make the coffee harsh. Filtering after steeping lets you control extraction time for a smoother cup.
