How do I make the best cup of coffee?

To ensure you are getting the best out of your coffee, make sure you are using extremely fresh coffee and your water is clean and at the correct temperature. Your water should be just off the boil, heated to 195° to 205° F. If your water is not hot enough, your coffee will not fully extract its flavor, which will result in a weak, unpleasant taste.

If your coffee is fresh and your water is at the right temperature, then there are two remaining factors that will affect the taste of your coffee. Dialing in the correct grind and proportion of coffee you use will help you prepare the perfect cup of coffee.
