How Can You Attend a Free Coffee Course

Well, if you are interested in doing the free coffee course, all you need to do is to sign up! However, the question would be it is worth your time signing up for such a course?
Currently, where everyone is multi-tasking and reading has become more of a luxury than a normal past times, what you are reading becomes very important. Similar to other e-books, presented in front of you is an e-course, but would it add value to you?
If you are looking forward to becoming a celebrity baristas after reading this e-course, then please do not sign up for it, because it would not make you so. This e-course would also not be able to make you an established cupper where you would be identify all the blends of coffee beans.
This e-course does however, equipped one with certain knowledge in brewing a better cup of coffee. The free coffee course highlights 3 areas which one to take note of, and when done properly, it can brew you a better cup of coffee.
The first section is about what you use for the coffee. And among them are water and the condition of the machine. We are all familiar with the idea that the condition of a coffee machine is crucial in determining how your brewed cuppa would be, but water?
The fact is, have you ever consider using alternative source of water other than those that are from your tap? If you are just a coffee drinker like me, then you would probably never have consider using any alternative source of water.
However, this one little fine point is what differentiate good coffee from the normal stuff. I tried using what they termed as "soft water" and the coffee taste is indeed more fulfilling.
According to this course, when one is using tap water, the minerals that is inside the water would affect the brewing process and eliminate some flavors from the coffee. Thus, using "soft water" is the only surefire way to get the most flavors out of your coffee beans!
Interesting point, isn't it? I could go on and on about the other interesting pointers within this e-course, however, doing so would probably be considered as plagiarising and it would really make this article very long.
However, there is another point which I absolutely need to share with all you folks and that is the temperature of the water.
Throughout my entire life, I thought that the best way to brew any beverage is to add in hot water to it. And, usually I would pour just boiled water into my coffee or tea, but do you know that it is so wrong to be doing that!
Pouring boiling water unto your coffee ground is akin to burning the coffee ground, so you would never get a good cup of coffee if you would to do that. That is the reason why so coffee are brewed with a bitter after taste. Burn coffee always taste bitter.
The rule of thumb is to wait for 3-4 minutes for the water to cool down prior to adding it unto your coffee ground. This would allow one to have the right temperature to extract the optimum taste from the coffee grounds.
Personally, I think that the content highlighted in free coffee course is worth the while checking it out. No matter what coffee makers you are using, the tips that you learned from there would be useful in brewing you a better cuppa!By Ebenezer Heng
