How to brew coffee without a coffee machine

Brewing coffee is actually very simple. Here’s how to brew cafe-style coffee without a machine.

1. Choose Good Coffee Beans

The first step to getting good coffee is to choose quality coffee beans. Whichever type you choose, buy whole beans and grind them yourself to maintain the aroma and flavor.

2. Grind Coffee Beans

After getting the right coffee beans, it’s time to grind! You don’t need an expensive grinding machine. Just use a blender or a simple grinder. Grind the coffee beans according to the method to be used.

If you are using a french press, coarsely grind the coffee beans until they resemble coarse salt. If using dripper V60, grind the coffee beans to the consistency of fine sand. If you have a moka pot, finely grind the coffee beans to a flour-like consistency to make your own espresso.

3. Measure Coffee and Water

Measuring the amount of coffee and water is very important so that the coffee is not too strong or even tasteless. Generally, the recommended ratio is 1:15. So, if you use 16 grams of coffee, use about 240 ml of water. But this ratio is different for each person’s taste. Don’t hesitate to try until you find the ratio that you like best.

4. Prepare Hot Water

The right water temperature also affects the flavor of the coffee. Water that is too hot can make the coffee bitter, while water that is too cold will not extract the coffee flavor well.

The ideal temperature for brewing coffee is between 90-96°C. If you don’t have a thermometer, simply bring the water to a boil and let it sit for 30 seconds before using.

5. Simple Brewing Technique

Don’t have french press or V60? Here are two ways brewing coffee with simple tools that can be found at home:

1. Prepare ground coffee in a cup.
2. Pour the hot water slowly into the cup.
3. Stir gently so that all the coffee is submerged.
4. Let it sit for 3-5 minutes, then use a strainer or clean cloth to separate the grounds from the coffee, and enjoy!

6. Enjoy your coffee creations

After brewing, it’s time to enjoy your handiwork! From simple black coffee, you can make different types of coffee like in your regular coffee shop. Just be smart in choosing the ingredients to add to your coffee.

Want a sweet black coffee? Just add granulated sugar. Or palm sugar to create a unique sweet flavor. Want coffee with a variety of flavors? Add matcha, chocolate, or other ingredients. If you want a creamy coffee, just add milk or your favorite creamer.
