Your Coffee Brewing Styles Guide

Not all coffee is brewed in the same way.

The flavour and strength of the drink can vary depending on the brewing style. Here are a few brewing styles that you could use in your shop:

Drip Brew: For this brewing style, ground coffee is placed in a brew basket and placed in an automatic coffee machine. Water is passed through the grounds by gravity, resulting in a traditional cup of coffee.

Pour Over: This brewing method involves slowly pouring boiling water through coffee grounds in a filter basket. The coffee is then dripped into a single cup, producing a strong brew.

For cold brew, coarsely ground coffee is steeped in room temperature water for an extended period of time. As a result, the brew is less bitter and more caffeinated.

Espresso: You'll need an espresso or cappuccino machine to make an espresso brew. These machines filter pressurised hot water through a filter containing finely ground dark roasted coffee beans. The water's force creates a highly concentrated coffee shot. This is the most common method for making the base of coffee drinks.

Ristretto: Pressurized water is passed through the coffee grounds in the same way that espresso is. You would, however, use half the amount of water. The shorter brewing cycle results in a more concentrated and darker espresso shot.
