In this part of the world, while coffee may not be as deeply rooted as tea, I won't be mincing words if I say its currently gaining popularity especially in urban areas and majorly among the younger generations. I am one of those who have come to love coffee so much that I seize every opportunity I get to have one. Guess what? I had to go learn how to brew my own coffee and ever since I learnt that, I do brew my coffee all by myself now. Isn't that cool? And so, I'm going to be sharing my coffee routine with you guys starting from when I grind the beans to the part when I get the perfect cup of coffee. **Grinding the beans** The first step in making a great cup of coffee is to grind the beans fresh. This will release the most flavor from the beans. I use a burr grinder to grind my beans, but you can also use a blade grinder if that's what you have. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/davidbright/23wC2xRs3jCNJ5JVWk1jdK9X4sDbEV7t2rRSephxzPfLuwZHijssXALkBkpSofdewfEqD.png) _{[source](https://pixabay.com/es/photos/granos-de-caf%C3%A9-amoladora-caf%C3%A9-932967/)} I grind my beans to a medium-coarse grind. This is a good grind for most brewing methods, but you may need to adjust the grind size depending on your brewing method. **Water** Another important factor in making a great cup of coffee is the water. I use filtered water for my coffee. This helps to remove any impurities from the water that could affect the taste of the coffee. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/davidbright/23wgHpeyKWCvWYz7q5ochTifoXbf2BYwhqywLpuvJGuzLQVsP8gU7e5Pw47zhrKBiENZd.png) _{[source](https://pixabay.com/es/photos/caf%C3%A9-filtrado-handfilter-caf%C3%A9-3767936/)} **Brewing the coffee** I use a pour-over cone to brew my coffee. This is a simple brewing method that allows me to have more control over the brewing process. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/davidbright/23y8sitCuFXMKnZPmpTsarYjpX6MkiFPySfsSaqjUB4gCMFUwBkn9NTDuydQNtUBmURBP.png) _{[source](https://www.pexels.com/photo/making-coffee-in-pour-over-filter-10324698/)} To brew my coffee, I first place the pour-over cone on top of a mug or carafe. Then, I add a filter to the cone and rinse it with hot water just to remove any papery taste that might be in the filter. Next, I add the ground coffee to the filter. I use a scale to measure out the coffee and water, so that I can get a consistent cup of coffee each time. I then slowly pour hot water over the ground coffee, in a circular motion so that it can evenly saturate the coffee grounds and after some few minutes, the coffee will be brewed and then it will be ready to be enjoyed. **Adding milk and sugar** I like to add a little bit of milk and sugar to my coffee. This helps to balance out the bitterness of the coffee and make it more flavorful. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/davidbright/EoeGqZcvadaL8jv3Ld4Tsam98Xx9A7DTJWJQoqRhKvkBzSRjyCVx51EDBrRY6QMgnQt.png) _{[source](https://www.pexels.com/photo/cup-of-coffee-with-art-on-milk-6249446/)} **Conclusion** So guys, that's my coffee routine and I hope you enjoyed reading this.
