Coffee is without a doubt the world’s most popular drink. It’s consumed everywhere, from Ethiopia [its birthplace] to England. This simple, delicious drink has a multitude of health benefits and is a great way to start the day.

What most people don’t know, however, is that there are many different styles of coffee. Until you have shopped around, experimented, and trialed new styles, you won’t be able to define what your perfect cup is.

In this article, we will share six different ways of making coffee, which should hopefully help you to find the method that’s perfect for you:

Turkish Coffee

Turkish coffee is a style that’s enjoyed through the Middle East, that originated in Turkey. It’s made in a Turkish coffee pot called a cezve, which is a long-handled pot constructed from brass or copper. If you intend on making Turkish coffee, then it’s important to mention that you will want to find the best Turkish coffee pot that you can.

The quality of the coffee pot plays an important role in brewing the perfect cup. Turkish coffee is traditionally brewed with sugar to add flavor. It is also usually flavored with cinnamon, cardamom, and sometimes star anise, which add a lot of flavors.

Pour Over

Pour over is another very popular [and very old] method of making coffee. It’s also extremely simple, cheap, and fast. To get started, you just need a coffee cone and a paper filter. You simply fit the cone inside a jar or cup, then put the filter inside of it. The coffee is then added to the filter and hot water is poured through it.

Gradually, coffee begins dripping into the jar or cup. The shape of the cone and the filter used will influence the coffee’s flavor. You can now buy high-tech pour-over machines, although it’s much easier to make your own rig.  

French Press

The French Press method is very popular. Among coffee lovers, it’s considered the best and most straightforward way of brewing the perfect cup of coffee. In a press pot, coffee grains are soaked and then pressed. This allows coffee’s oils, antioxidants, and caffeine to diffuse, creating a superior flavor.

You might also want to crush your own beans, which will create a fresher cup.

Moka Pot

The Moka pot is very popular, especially among true coffee fans. Not only does this method create a delicious cup of coffee, but it has an old-world feel [due to the pot in which the coffee is made]. The Moka pot goes straight onto your stove, with the coffee and water inside it. Steam pressure from boiled water in the pot’s lower section passes through the coffee chamber, which is located in the pot’s midsection.

The coffee then sits in the pot’s highest chamber, where you can pour it out. The Moka pot creates great espressos. There are many different brands offering Moka pots, in a variety of sizes and price ranges.

Siphon

The siphon method is very similar to the Moka pot’s method, although they differ slightly. While both styles use high-pressure steam to brew the coffee, Moka pots boil water, while siphons keep water at a consistent temperature without bringing it to a boil. In the Moka pot, the coffee is located in the pot’s midsection while in the siphon method, the coffee’s located in the pot’s upper chamber.

Siphon coffee is typically rich in flavor and aroma, especially when you grind fresh coffee into the coffee chamber. Some people prefer this method purely because siphon pots look very interesting, although these pots due to their intricate design can be quite expensive.

Cold Brew

In recent years, cold brew coffee has become one of the world’s most popular brewing styles. This method takes a lot longer than ordinary coffee does, but the finished product is delicious. Instead of utilizing hot water to draw out the flavor of coffee beans, coffee beans are steeped in cold water for up to a day. Cold brew coffee is notoriously less bitter than traditional coffee is, which is why it has become so popular. You can find cold brew coffee in coffee shops around the world, but if you want to make it in large quantities [and save money] then you can make it in the comfort of your home.

It’s not surprising that coffee’s so popular, considering that there are so many different brewing styles. There is truly something for everybody. If you’re a coffee fan, then why not give one of the styles listed here a go?
