For a bolder flavor you might need a dark roast. Use light roast level beans for a less bitter and light flavor. The medium roast can be used in almost all types of recipes.

For a quality cup of coffee, it is a must to use pure and high-quality ingredients. Homemade food requires more pureness. If you are making a coffee at home and you don’t use quality ingredients it will not fit the definition of homemade coffee drink.

So, it is important to take good care of measurements of ingredients during the whole process.

1. Grinding Beans

There are three known grind sizes around the globe:

1. i) Coarse
2. ii) Medium
3. iii) Fine

Each grind size carries a different flavor profile. Coarse grind size is used for high steeping and strong recipes such as french press and cold brew. While for a lighter flavor recipes medium and fine grind sizes are ideal like espresso and pour over coffee drinks. You can explore these different flavor profiles by experimenting in different recipes for idealization.
