Virtual Coffee: Seven Steps to Brewing Better Coffee (#)

Every coffee is different, and what compounds are extractedwill be affected by the roast development, brew water used, and all of the conditions ofthe brewing process - most notably the water temperature, the particle size distributionof the coffee (the grind), and the uniformity of extraction.“

  „The roast of the beans will be a major factor in the taste of your coffee. French Roast and many Starbucks coffees are made of beans that have been roasted to a dark color, giving the coffee an intense taste.
