Many coffee drinkers are now skipping coffee shops, and they are becoming baristas at home. They can enjoy some of their favorite coffee drinks without ever having to leave home, thanks to new gadgets and information available online. If you want to try your hand at making the perfect cup of coffee, you should consider purchasing some of these coffee tools mentioned below to have that curated coffee experience at home. We hope that you enjoy this How To Be a Barista in the Kitchen by Perfecting Your DIY Game post.
Store-bought coffee grounds don't compare to freshly ground coffee. However, it may not be realistic for you to grind your coffee beans every single morning. Coffee makers with grinders will grind your beans for you. If you are short on time, you can add the beans the night before and program the coffee maker to grind them right before you're ready for your morning cup of coffee.
If you like a stronger cup of coffee, a French press is a tool that you must have and it's the perfect tool for that curated coffee experience at home. Did you know the best French press coffee can be made right at home? French presses are fairly easy to use. All you have to do is pour very hot water into the pot of the press, stir it, place the plunger on top of it, and let it sit for about four minutes. Then you just need to slowly press down on the plunger to finish making your coffee.
A lot of people get coffee at their local coffee shop just because they like all of the foam that comes on top of it. However, you can skip visiting your local barista if you have a milk frother. This tool is fairly similar to a mixer. You just put it into the milk and turn it on to create the desired amount of foam that you want.
Cold Brew Coffee MakerA lot of work goes into cold brew coffee. It’s not as quick to make as traditional coffee, but the wait is worth it. Cold brew coffee makers use cold water that steeps coffee grounds. It does tend to take about 24 hours for the coffee to be ready, but the result is a delicious coffee without the acidic taste.
There is nothing like drinking coffee that’s been made with roasted beans. The coffee just tastes fresher, and the flavors seem to intensify. You can easily roast beans at home by getting a bean roaster. For best results, you should roast your beans in small batches.
Even with the right tools, you still may find it difficult to brew the perfect cup of coffee at home. Here are some tips and tricks that you should utilize to become a do-it-yourself barista.
Many people don’t realize just how big of a role water plays in making their coffee. If it doesn’t taste right or has a funny odor, your coffee won’t turn out as great as you’d like. This is why it’s a good idea to use filtered water. If you don’t want to use bottled water every time you make coffee, get a filtration pitcher to filter your water for you.
You should never leave your coffee beans or grounds in the package they came in once it has been opened. The air will alter the way that they taste. You should put your coffee beans or grounds in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Making good coffee does have a lot of variables and to have that curated coffee experience at home, you must measure everything if you want to make your coffee as the baristas do. Invest in a scale to weigh your coffee grounds. If you want a strong cup of coffee, you need 1 part coffee to 20 parts water. You may need to experiment just a bit to figure out the perfect coffee-to-water ratio for your taste buds.
Making the perfect cup of coffee doesn’t have to be that difficult. If you want to make your coffee just like a barista at a coffee shop, you first need to get the right tools. You should also take a bit of time to experiment a bit to figure out the best way to make the perfect cup of coffee.
