As we step into a brand-new year, it is the perfect time to set sight on enhancing your coffee home brewing journey. From trying your hands at making intricate latte art to simply refining your brews, these New Year's resolutions are sure to elevate your coffee experience.
As the calendar by your desk changes, it is the perfect time to invest in your coffee corner!
1. Master a New Brewing Method
Whether you are accustomed to the simplicity of drip bags or the precision of a Pour Over, experimenting with a new method opens doors to a world of diverse flavours and new coffee experiences.
Each method offers a unique set of challenges and nuances. This allows you to deepen your understanding of coffee. So, this New Year, expand your coffee gear collection beyond the familiar.
2. Grind Fresh
Grinding coffee beans fresh just before brewing is a practice that significantly enhances the flavour and overall quality of your coffee.
Coffee beans contain volatile aromatic compounds that contribute to their rich and complex flavours.
Grinding coffee releases these compounds, but they start to dissipate quickly. By grinding fresh, you preserve the maximum aroma and ensure a more flavorful cup. So, take your coffee home brewing journey to the next level with a coffee grinder.
3. Learn to Make Latte Art
Latte art is more than a visual addition to the coffee cup. It adds depth and artistry to the entire coffee brewing and drinking experience. It will also help you hone your milk frothing and pouring skills better.
Making latte art can be a fantastic New Year's resolution. Learning to make latte art, and eventually mastering it adds an extra layer of excitement to the coffee-making experience. Plus, it can be fun to document and share your creations on social media.
4. Keep a Coffee Journal
If you are looking to elevate your coffee experience with a simple step, maintaining a coffee journal can be an excellent idea. It provides you with a dedicated space to record the different techniques, coffee flavours and recipes.
This will help you explore a wide variety of flavours and discover your preferences. In time, you will achieve a more refined palate for coffee.
Above all, documenting your brewing process, allows you to identify factors that contribute to a great cup of coffee. So, you can brew what you like consistently.
5. Brew On-the-Go
If you dislike the idea of compromising on great coffee on your travel expeditions, learning to brew on-the-go makes the perfect New Year's resolution.
