Coffee brewing

Coffee brewing is the process of extracting flavors and aroma from roasted coffee grounds by passing hot water through them. The water dissolves soluble compounds, including caffeine, oils, and acids, producing the beverage. Different brewing methods—such as drip, French press, espresso, or pour-over—vary in parameters like water temperature, contact time, and pressure, which influence the flavor profile, strength, and clarity of the coffee. Precise control of these factors ensures an optimal extraction, highlighting the coffee’s unique characteristics and creating a balanced, enjoyable cup.
