Kitchen scales are one aid that not only make dosing
easier for beginners, but are also used by experienced
baristas. You can use these to weigh the quantities of
coffee powder and water very precisely and so also
ensure the ideal ratio between the two ingredients.
Water
•
Along with the coffee bean, water is the main component of
your coffee. You should therefore make sure that the quality
of the water you use for brewing your coffee is good. Since
tap water is often too hard, we recommend that you use
fi ltered water. For a particularly fi ne fl avour, you can also use
still mineral water. Here too you should experiment, because
not every mineral water tastes the same.
•
In addition to the water quality, the water temperature is
also decisive for the taste of your coffee. For the best re-
sults, pour water at a temperature of between 92 and 96°C
over the freshly ground coffee. Always avoid brewing the
coffee with boiling water! If the water is too hot, valuable
ingredients in the coffee powder can burn, which makes the
coffee bitter.
You can do this stylishly and elegantly using our BEEM Pour-Over
Kettle with Thermometer. The kettle can be used on almost any
stove (electric, ceramic glass, induction) and holds up to 0.9 l of
water. The thermometer in the lid shows you exactly how hot the
water inside is. This means you always have the optimum tempera-
ture for enjoying the perfect cup of coffee. The curved, fi ligree spout
of the kettle maintains the water at the right temperature and
ensures exactly the right dosage. The kettle can be obtained from
selected specialist stockists, directly via our website www.beem.de
or from our customer service department on request.
