What each ingredient does
- Finely ground coffee
- Provides the dissolved flavour compounds that make up the brew's body and taste.
- Boiling water
- Extracts flavour from the coffee grounds as it passes through them.
The step that matters
Keep the coffee pot hot while brewing. If the pot cools, the water drops in temperature and extracts less flavour from the grounds, leaving the coffee weak and flat. Staying hot keeps extraction even.
