Some might think that this topic is subjective to personal tastes. Yet, this is not the case ... obviously I'm not going to tackle instant coffee but the TRUE COFFEE ... brewed coffee.
When using the macchinetta - set the burner on the lower possible option as the pressure needs to build up inside and not temperature. Coffee needs to go up and down through the granules for quite some time before adding enough pressure to go up for you to enjoy the heavenly drink.
When using an espresso machine - allow the temperature and pressure to rise enough before pressing the button. A good machine will serve at optimum temperature (by means of thermostats) if the correct amount of coffee granules is used.
When using a French Press - it is recommended to NEVER USE boiling water. The best temperature is 93 degrees Celsius (200 degrees Fahrenheit) not only for the best taste but also for the health benefits in coffee to be preserved in the best way. If your water comes to a boiling point, allow it around 1-2 minutes before pouring water onto the granules. Allow the coffee to brew well in the hot water before filtering.
