Coffee is a universal language spoken in many dialects—from the French press to the AeroPress, the drip to the espresso. How do you brew your perfect cup? Share your methods, and maybe pick up a new technique or two. What's the most unusual coffee you've ever tried?

ever since i started having bfast at home, i started making my own coffee.

got those coffee O kosong sachet from supermarket and made it using protein and cocoa powder, and soy milk.

then i was finding alternative for less acidic coffee due to my gastric, and that i knew about cold brew. so i started steeping the coffee O kosong sachet in water and leave it in the fridge overnight. did the same procedure, with matcha protein powder, cocoa powder and soy milk. the taste so much better and softer.

i tried to steep arabica coffee sachet overnight, but the coffee flavour doesnt come out. not sure it is the coffee grind size or the thicker sachet material.

Nespresso at work.
Nespresso at home if I am feeling lazy. I have the One Touch so it gives me latte or cuppuccino with one touch of a button.
Otherwise its cold brew with a french press.

i like smooth black coffee without foam that tastes full-bodied and neither bitter or acidic. i use french press and arabica beans. grind the beans, pour in boiled water after it stops bubbling, stir and then let it sit for 3 mins. then push the plunger down and let it sit for another min before slowly pouring out into a cup.

For percolation brews, I get great results from V60 pourovers using Tetsu Kasuya's 4:6 method.

For immersion brews, my Clever Dripper makes brewing good cups of coffee so easy.

V60s pours for me 90% of the time.
Occasionally will use clever dripper
Very rarely will use mokapot

Oh... this works with Kopi O Kosong sachets? what is the ratio of coffee to water that you used?
I always buy full beans and coarse grind it. Too troublesome especially the clean up part.

If store bought sachets works, i'll try this route.
Cold brew FTW.

yah it works. i just put in a cup of around 150ml of room temperature water, and leave it in the fridge overnight. the amount of water doesnt really matter to me, as the long hours of steeping will extract most of the coffee out. if its too little water, ill fill the soy milk to the brim of my coffee mug. as for cocoa, it doesnt mix well with room temperature water, so ill have to mix in hot water, and add into the coffee later, before adding the soy milk.

even steeping in the room temperature water for 15 to 20 mins can extract most of the coffee.

I’ve been really into pour-over coffee lately because it gives me so much control over the brewing process, and I feel like I can really bring out the flavors of different beans. I love experimenting with various origins, especially those fruity Ethiopian ones. As for something unusual, I once tried a mushroom coffee blend on a whim, and it turned out to be pretty tasty—had this earthy vibe that surprised me.

If you are very into pour overs and you think you are good at it, it's time to try one geisha, esmeralda or Panama variety.
