How to make that java at home

There are many different ways to brew coffee at home to make it feel like you're having a fancy cup at a cafe. You don't necessarily have to go out to get your fix.  Below are the top 3 most common at home brew methods.

Top 3 brew at home methods for coffee:

1. Standard coffee maker (like a 12 cup Mr. Coffee maker) or a single cup coffee maker (like a Keurig). This is the most common and easiest in the brew methods because the standard coffee makers are so cheap, and the single serve is so easy.

2. French Press coffee - While this one is slightly more difficult, it is not so much so that it would be discouraging. Just place coffee grounds and boiling water into the french press device, wait a few minutes, press the filter down and you get a fresh brewed cup of coffee!

3. Single cup cone - another slightly but not overly difficult brew method. There is a cone filter placed above a cup and a single filter and grounds are placed in the cone and boiling water is over the top. It is basically a miniature, hands on version of a standard coffee maker.

My favorite is the single cup coffee maker (I do have a Kuerig at home). A close second would be a french press though because of the pure taste from the coffee.

  1. I like the third one! It can be not only a coffee maker but also a beautiful decoration to the house. And your explanation is detailed. Maybe you can tell us more about which type is appropriate to which kind of coffee.
