Brew your coffee using whole beans

I am someone who has fully embraced the advent of modern technology. I love it when technology can make my life easier; however, it certainly cannot make my cup of coffee better.

There’s still something special about a cup of coffee that is made with human hands. Furthermore, it is certainly cheaper, particularly when you use whole bean coffee and do it yourself!

If you are wondering how to make whole bean coffee, you need to collect the right materials first. In addition, what makes whole bean coffee better than regular coffee? Take a look at our step-by-step guide below.

Brewing Coffee with Whole Beans: The Materials Needed

Before you can start making whole bean coffee, you have to gather the right materials first. The materials you need to include are:

  • A small mason jar about 1 pint in size
  • A measuring cup
  • Boiling water
  • A small pan
  • A spoon and mug
  • A strainer
  • Your whole bean coffee of choice

Even though there are plenty of varieties of coffee beans from which to choose, the most important thing is to get fresh coffee beans. Even if you are an expert at making whole bean coffee, it is not going to taste good if it has been sitting out for several weeks.

Making Whole Bean Coffee: The Steps

Once you are ready to make whole bean coffee, the steps you have to follow include:

Step 1. Measure Your Coffee Beans

The first step is to measure your coffee beans. If you are looking for approximately one cup of coffee, then you should remove approximately ½ to ¾ cup of coffee beans from the package. Use the measuring cup and place them in the mason jar once they are measured.

There is some discrepancy because the coffee beans are not going to settle perfectly in the measuring cup and some people have a slightly larger cup of coffee in the morning than others. Place the beans in a mason jar so that you protect them and set them aside where they can be found easily.

Step 2. Add Hot Water to the Mason Jar

Heat some water on the stove until it begins to boil. Once it starts to boil, remove it and pour it directly into the mason jar. If you left your coffee beans in the measuring cup, you might melt the measuring cup with boiling water.

You do not need to boil a lot of water on the stove. Simply place the water in a saucepan and bring the water to a boil. Then, fill the mason jar until it is about three-quarters full.

Step 3. Add the Mason Jar to the Boiling Saucepan

Once your mason jar contains boiling water and whole coffee beans, return the mason jar to the saucepan. Ideally, the water level in the saucepan should match the water level in the mason jar. The water should still be boiling.

Step 4. Allow the Mason Jar To Simmer in the Saucepan

Once the mason jar and saucepan are boiling, allow the mason jar to simmer for approximately one hour. Occasionally, take a spoon and stir the coffee beans in the mason jar.

You do not necessarily have to stand there and watch the coffee boil. This is a good chance to get started on your work in the morning, cook some breakfast, or even go back to bed.

Make sure you don’t fall asleep, as you run the risk of overcooking your coffee! As the coffee continues to cook, you should see that the water starts to look just a little bit like coffee.

Step 5. Strain the Coffee

After the coffee has been boiling for about 1 hour, take out your coffee mug and the strainer. Place the strainer directly on top of a coffee mug. Carefully remove the mason jar from the saucepan using an oven mitt, hot pads, or something else that can protect you against the temperature.

Finally, pour the liquid into the mason jar through the strainer. The strainer is going to capture the beans at the coffee lands in your coffee mug.

Step 6. Drink Your Coffee!

Put everything aside from the coffee mug aside. Then, fix up your coffee exactly as you would like it! If you like to add cream or sugar, now is the time to do so. Once your morning cup of coffee has cooled down to an appropriate temperature, it is ready to enjoy!

Why Do People Like Whole Bean Coffee in the First Place?

It is clear that whole bean coffee takes a little bit longer to make in the morning than typical coffee grounds. Therefore, why do people even like whole bean coffee in the first place?

There are several reasons why. First, coffee beans tend to deteriorate after grinding. A few examples include:

  • They start to oxidize
  • They are exposed to more carbon dioxide
  • They can collect moisture
  • They become contaminated

All of this can have an adverse impact on the quality of the coffee. If you notice that your coffee grounds do not taste very good after they have been sitting out for several weeks, it is because they are deteriorating.

Furthermore, you do not have to worry about an uneven grind if you use whole coffee beans. For the freshest cup of coffee, you want to use whole beans.

The Final Word on How to Make Whole Bean Coffee

It will take a little bit of practice for you to learn how to make whole bean coffee properly; however, once you get this down, there is a good chance that you will never go back to coffee grounds again! Therefore, why not give it a shot? There’s a good chance you will love it.
