Tips and Tricks

Use freshly roasted and ground coffee for the best flavor.
Let the coffee simmer over low heat to prevent it from boiling, which can cause the coffee to become bitter.
If the coffee tastes too strong, you can dilute it with a small amount of water.
Serve the coffee with a glass of water to cleanse the palate between sips.
