How to Make the Best Possible Cup of Coffee At Home
Because coffee is everything
I really love coffee.
Despite my best efforts to quit on multiple occasions (and at least one or two caffeine detoxes per year), I just can’t stay away for good. I love the way it tastes. I love the way it smells. And I love the feeling after the first sip hits your lips in the dark, early hours of the morning.
I love it so much that, during Covid, I started (then sold) my own e-commerce coffee shop just because I knew I’d at least have fun doing it.
But enough about my affinity for coffee. Let’s talk about everyone else.
According to a study last year, 68% of Americans make coffee at home every day, yet most have no idea how to make a great-tasting cup of coffee. No, I’m not talking about adding cream and sugar until it tastes like a dessert. I’m talking delicious, natural, all-black coffee that your friends and family will think is a fresh cup from a local shop.
When I did a deep dive into coffee research for my business, I was pretty shocked that just a few key “ingredients” made all the difference. Making the best possible coffee at home is actually fairly simple once you know what it takes.
