I was surprised that one of my younger brothers, who never drinks coffee, booked a class, “how to make coffee”, at the community center, and I decided to join him. I make decaf coffee every day, but it is not so tasty. Actually I just pour hot water on the coffee without much care and just wait for dripping.
Today for the first time I learnt we pour hot water (not to hot) slowly, while making a circle with a weak flow on the coffee beans, which making bubbles on the beans, resulting in gentle drips. Today’s coffee is stronger than my coffee. I was a bit shocked because I wasted beans by pouring hot water fast, which made my coffee weak all the time.
Anyway I really enjoyed coffee, ( all of us took 5-6 cups of different flavors) with my brother and neighborhood.
