Coffee is much more than just a drink – it’s an art form, especially when prepared by an experienced barista. Behind the counter lie secrets and techniques that can transform a simple coffee into an unforgettable taste experience. Let’s take a look at some of the tricks and tips for preparing the perfect coffee.
High-quality coffee beans
The foundation for any great coffee is the quality of the beans. Baristas carefully select high-quality coffee beans that are freshly roasted and sourced from reliable origins. At Café Centrale, quality is our top priority. That’s why we decided to develop our own “Kaiserhof Coffee”, a full-bodied, strong coffee with a slight note of almond and intense roasting aromas.
Extraction and brewing method
A crucial step in preparing coffee is grinding the beans correctly. Baristas use high-quality grinders. The grind must be adjusted according to the coffee drink – a fine grind is needed for espresso, while a coarser grind is recommended for filter coffee. The subsequent extraction of the coffee, i.e. the process where water flows through the ground coffee and extracts the aroma and flavor, is no less important. The right water temperature, pressure, and brewing time are crucial for the quality of the final product.
To prepare the perfect coffee, a combination of expertise, skills and passion is key. Enjoy your next cup at our establishment and experience it for yourself.
