What’s The Best Way To Brew Coffee

There is a lot of debate on this question and the real answer ultimately depends on each person and their individual tastes. In the coffee industry, the generally accepted answer is: French Press. Personally, I also subscribe to the theory that the French Press provides the perfect extraction method to enjoy each and every subtle nuance of the coffee. Typically, if you enjoy really tasting the flavor of the coffee and want to spend more time
thinking about what you are drinking and less time thinking about other things, this is the best way to go. I can’t even begin to describe how many French Pressed cups of coffee I’ve enjoying while having a “What about Bob?” moment (if you’re unsure what that means, watch the movie and pay particular attention to the family dinner that Bob thoroughly enjoys). If you look back on previous blog posts, you’ll see that Matt also really enjoys a good French Pressed cup of coffee.
On the other hand, there is another recently discovered method of coffee brewing that seems to be making waves in the coffee community. I’m sure that many of you have seen the “Pour-over” method of brewing coffee. Here at Camano Island Coffee Roasters, we use a porcelain, cone-shaped filter holder to brew cofee. It’s important that the filter is made of porcelain, because it brings through the specific flavor nuances that will not be present when brewed with a plastic filter. This device should also have ridges inside to separate the coffee filter from the porcelain, which allows the coffee to flow through at a proper rate to prevent bitterness. Even as French Press enthusiasts, Jeff and I both agree that it’s hard to beat a properly brewed cup of pour over coffee!
This morning, when you brew that first cup of the day, try a French Press or Porcelain Pour Over!
