There are many different methods for brewing coffee. Most methods extract between 20 - 25% of the coffee substance. Standard American filter-drip coffee is the lightest, making a proportion of 1:15 coffee to water. Italian expresso is the strongest at a 1:5 ratio. Brewing coffee is an art, as the results depend on type of drip, temperature, and length of time.
Coffee tastes the best when freshly brewed and consumed. The ideal temperature for sipping is 140 degrees F. It loses aroma and flavor in less than an hour in the pot. It is best to keep hot coffee within its original heat in a preheated, insulated, closed container than on a hot plate, as excessive heat speeds the escape of aroma and flavor.
