Beyond coffee beans and brewing methods, water quality significantly influences the taste and overall experience of your coffee. Here's how you can enhance your brew with the right water:
-
Clearwater Maintenance: Regularly flushing clearwater through your coffee machine keeps it clean and in optimal condition, thereby enhancing coffee quality.
-
Choose the Right Water: The type of water you use can make a world of difference. Before using tap water, assess its characteristics, particularly hardness and limestone percentage. (https://www.scaa.org/?page=resources&d=water-standards)
-
Prevent Capsule Clogging: Hard water, over time, may lead to clogging of the micro holes in your coffee capsule. If limestone deposits obstruct the holes, use a small-eyed sewing needle to unclog them.
As you refine your brewing techniques and water selection, your palate will develop preferences for specific water types and coffee blends. Embrace the journey of experimentation and discovery to elevate your coffee experience to new heights.
