Just started your real coffee journey or don't have access to a specialized coffee brewing equipment? Don't worry, all you need is a strainer (channi) , hot water and coarsely ground coffee. And voila, you can make yourself a delicious cup of coffee.
What you’ll need:
- 16g (approximately 8 teaspoons or 2.5 tablespoons) coffee in coarse, channi grind
- Channi / Strainer
- Cup (250ml)
- Kettle or some other source to heat the water
- 250ml hot water (1 cup) (approximately 1.5 mins off the boil)
Lets get brewing:
- Add 16gms coffee to an empty cup
- Fill the cup with hot water.
- Wait for 4 mins. Stir in between.
- Strain using Channi to another cup.
- Add milk or additional water according to your liking. Voila, your Specialty Coffee is ready using as simple equipment as Channi.
Pro tips:
- Preferably add hot water to coffee in two steps
- First fill half the cup and wait for 30 secs
- Fill the rest of the cup and wait for 3.5 mins
- Brew for longer than 4 mins to get stronger coffee.
- Dark roasted coffee require less time whereas light roasted coffee requires longer time to get extracted properly.
