If you're like most coffee lovers, you’ve probably wondered how you can brew that perfect cup of coffee at home—just like the pros do in your favorite cafes. The truth is, you don’t need fancy equipment or years of barista training to make amazing coffee. All it takes is the right beans and a few simple techniques to bring out the rich, nuanced flavors of your brew. With Cordillera Brew Coffee, sourced from the pristine highlands of the Philippines, you can unlock a whole new level of coffee goodness.
Ready to upgrade your coffee experience? Here are five secrets to brewing like a pro, all while enjoying our premium single-origin beans.
1. Choose Fresh, Quality Beans
The most important step to a great cup of coffee? Start with the best beans. Cordillera Brew Coffee offers single-origin Arabica and Robusta beans, handpicked from the mountains of Benguet, Ifugao, and Atok. Our coffee is freshly roasted and delivered straight to your door, ensuring every sip is packed with bold, authentic flavors. If you want your coffee to taste as good as it smells, freshness is key!
Pro tip: Store your coffee beans in an airtight container and grind just before brewing to preserve their peak flavor.
2. Get the Grind Right
Did you know that the grind size of your coffee can make or break your brew? Too coarse, and the coffee will be weak and under-extracted; too fine, and it may taste bitter or overly strong. The grind should match your brewing method—coarse for French press, medium for pour-over, and fine for espresso.
At Cordillera Brew, we offer a range of grind sizes to match your preferred brewing method, so you always get the best results.
3. Measure Your Coffee (Don't Just Eyeball It)
A common mistake in home brewing is not using the right coffee-to-water ratio. Too much or too little coffee can throw off the flavor. The golden rule? Use 1 to 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 ounces of water. This will give you a well-balanced cup that lets the flavor of the Cordillera beans shine through.
Invest in a kitchen scale for precision, or just stick to the golden ratio for consistently great coffee.
4. Master the Pour-Over Method
Want to impress guests or simply treat yourself to a barista-quality cup? Try the pour-over method! It’s simple, and with Cordillera Brew's single-origin beans, you'll get a cup that’s rich, smooth, and bursting with flavor. Use a gooseneck kettle for a steady pour, and pour in slow, circular motions to evenly saturate the grounds.
Pro tip: Let your coffee "bloom" by pouring a little water first and waiting 30 seconds. This releases trapped gases and ensures better extraction.
5. Experiment with Cold Brew
For those warm tropical afternoons, nothing beats a refreshing cold brew. Our Single-Origin Atok Arabica and Benguet Arabica beans are perfect for making smooth, low-acid cold brew that’s packed with flavor. Just steep coarsely ground beans in cold water for 12 to 24 hours, strain, and enjoy over ice.
Cold brew is not only trendy, but it’s also super versatile. Add milk, cream, or even a splash of vanilla to create your own signature drink at home.
