1. French Press
If you haven’t tried coffee made with a french press then you are missing out. Many coffee aficionados use french presses as their number one brewing method because it skips paper filters and plastic cups. With a french press coffee maker, you’ll need a medium or coarse ground coffee, which you can do on your own with a grinder.
Next, preheat your french press pitcher and pour in the grounds. Fill it with hot water, replace the lid, and wait about 4 minutes to slowly depress the plunger to push the grounds to the bottom. Now it is ready to pour.
French presses can brew cups for 1 person or a whole family. It just depends on the size of the pot.
2. Single Cup Pour Over
A single cup pour over is a way to make coffee with just a mug and hot water. This brilliant little product is made up of four different parts: a bucket-shaped filter, a set of anchors that work to secure it to the rim of your coffee cup, the coffee itself, and the packet it comes in. To use single cup pour overs work you just open the pout over filter at the top, use the anchors around the outer rim to secure it in your cup, and pour hot water through the filter.
Single cup pour overs are ready in less than 2 minutes and can replace your daily purchases or other brewing methods. It is also perfect to bring along when you go camping.
3. Instant Coffee
Instant coffee has been around since the late 18th century and has remained a staple in many pantries since. It is good if you don’t have time to brew a pot or are going somewhere you won’t have access to a coffee maker. Although, not everyone is a fan of its earthy taste.
So, if plain old instant coffee isn’t your thing, join the latest trend and try dalgona coffee. It is a frothy, whipped coffee, made using instant coffee granules, water, and sugar. It is then spooned on top of a glass of ice and milk and gently stirred.
