Many people believe that buying expensive coffee will automatically make the drink superior and delicious.
But this is a misconception.
Sometimes, due to a number of shortcomings, even high-quality coffee turns out to be far from ideal, notes chef Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on cooking and culinary issues for the online publication BelNovosti.
What are the main shortcomings?
Buying coffee in bulk
Many people give in to temptation, as such a purchase always seems to be a good deal. However, even storing in an airtight container will still deprive the coffee of a significant part of its aroma and depth of taste.
Therefore, it is worth buying coffee in small portions.
Working with grains in reserve
If you prefer beans, you have the opportunity to prepare the most delicious and high-quality drink. However, you should start the procedure only before directly brewing coffee.
Otherwise, the drink will not be tasty.
Boiling water
It is important to remember that boiling water is the main enemy of coffee, no matter how it is prepared. Boiling water will simply "kill" the flavors and make the aroma less intense.
