Leveling up your coffee game isn't that hard. Coffee has two ingredients, coffee and water.

Here are 5 ways to step up your coffee game.

1. Start with fresh beans

Never buy beans from a supermarket that have been sitting on a shelf. Always check the roast date. The closer to the roast date the better. Try & get beans from a local roaster, a lot of coffee shops roast their own.

2. Use filtered water

Tap water contains minerals that will affect the taste. You don't need a fancy filtration system to achieve good-tasting water.

I use a ZeroWater filter system.

3. Buy a coffee grinder

Sandra Walimaki from Counter Culter says a good coffee grinder is the single best thing you can buy to upgrade your coffee game.

You can get a burr or blade grinder. The key is to grind right before you brew.

4. French Press vs Pour Over

If you like a more full-body tasting coffee, go with a French Press. If you want a lighter, brighter cup, use a filtered pour-over. Paper filters will trap oily substances and keep out more sediment.

5. Play with your recipe

Have some fun with it. Depending on your beans and brewing method, you can play with the brewing time and your coffee to water ratio.

Geek out, coffee is fun to play with. If you follow the above steps, you're guaranteed a good cup.

You've made it to the end. 👏
