For many coffee lovers there really is nothing quite like a cup of fresh coffee when they first wake up in the morning. You know what happens when you wake up. You feel a little bit disoriented and perhaps not ready to start the day until you get your first pot brewed up and the first aroma gets your juices flowing. For some people it only takes on small cup but for others it will take a large espresso. Some people also can't fathom the idea of using an instant packet while for others they simply want the taste and caffeine. No matter what your tastes are you can find a way to have your fresh coffee each morning.

For the average coffee drinker there are two pretty important parts of the overall brewing process. The first is the coffee grounds and the second is the filtered water. If you get the two of them just right you will be rewarded with a terrific tasting cup but there are many variations of both strong and mild. Some adjustments to these two parts may be necessary to suit your tastes.

For starters you have the coffee and for most people the quality is very important. Many people like Arabica beans or possibly Robusta if they want to save money. Sometimes a little experimentation with many different flavors is required to get just the right taste. When you find the best beans you need to decide if you want to use a grinder yourself or if you want to buy grounds. For people who are really interested in the best flavor the only way to go is to use a grinder. It is common knowledge that the beans keep the most flavor.

If you are keeping your own coffee beans in your home then you must consider where you will store them. Any excess heat will cause the crucial oils to leave them which will result in some loss of flavor. For that reason it is recommended to store the bag of beans in the freezer.

When you are ready to begin the brewing process you should start with cold water, allowing the coffee maker to get it to the best temperature. Grind up just enough beans for the amount you are brewing and let the machine do the work. You will be rewarded with a delicious cup of fresh coffee in no time. As you become more experienced using your coffee maker, making the ideal flavor will become second nature. Soon enough you won't even have to measure the grounds or water as you will know how much of each will give you the flavor you like.
