How To Keep Your French Press
Coffee Hot?
With the exception of those who prefer their coffee ice-cold, coffee is designed to be consumed hot. In this article, we'll look into several excellent methods for keeping your coffee hot for longer periods of time.
The trick to keeping your French Press coffee hot is to not leave it in the coffee maker for too long after it has been brewed. Excessive time in the brewer results in harsh flavors and over-extraction. Intense bitter properties tend to dominate the taste notes of the ground coffee and ruin your perfect cup.
So, how should you store your freshly brewed French press coffee?
- Heat up your already-cooled coffee in a microwave for a short time. Some coffee lovers just microwave their coffee to make it hot again. This isn't ideal, because warming coffee could change its taste and chemical composition. The natural flavor and smell is lost.
- Thermal mugs create a vacuum as a result of the heat. This allows beverages such as coffee to stay hot for an extended period of time.
- A thermos' vacuum keeps heat in and keeps drinks hot. Keep your coffee warm in a thermos. This keeps your French Press coffee hot for a long time.
- USB mug warmers typically keeps beverages like coffee hot but not dangerously so if you accidentally touch it without realizing it. Take a sip of your coffee, despite the fact that it's been sitting there for two hours.
It is not a good idea to reheat boiled coffee. Heat affects the flavor profile of coffee by eliminating nutrients and fats.
Extraction takes place during the brewing process. Reheating coffee is essentially a second extraction that removes additional nutrients and oils. This makes coffee sour or bitter.
Brew only enough coffee for your requirements to avoid having to reheat it and getting a poor taste. Use a metal French press if you want to brew more than one cup. Metal French Press coffee makers, on the other hand, necessitate preheating water.
