Creating the ideal cup of coffee doesn’t require professional barista skills – just attention to detail and quality ingredients. Start with freshly roasted beans from your favorite One Mug selection, grinding them before brewing to preserve their complex flavors and aromas.
Water temperature plays a crucial role; aim for 195-205°F (90-96°C) to extract optimal flavor without burning the grounds. Your water-to-coffee ratio matters too – we recommend starting with 1:16 (one part coffee to 16 parts water) and adjusting to your taste.
Consistency is key in whether you prefer pour-over, French press, or automatic drip. Measure your ingredients, time your brew, and note what works best for your palate. Remember, great coffee starts with ethically sourced beans – and when you brew with One Mug, you’re not just crafting the perfect cup, you’re supporting the farmers who make it possible.
