The Impact of Brewing Water Temperature on Coffee

How brewing water temperature affects the flavours in the cup, the ideal temperature range for brewing a good coffee and how to use brewing water temperature to control some aspects of coffee tastes. This week’s FACQ is about how to use other brewing variables to reduce the bitterness of your coffee.

Ideal water temperature brewing range for good coffee:

88° to 92°Celsius or 190° to 198°Fahrenheit

Keep it simple! Brew with water at 90°Celsius or 194°Fahrenheit

To modulate unpleasant tastes:

Too tart? Brew with water in the temperature range of 90° to 92°Celsius or 194° to 198°Fahrenheit. 

Too dark and bitter? Brew with water in the temperature range of 88° to 90°Celsius or 190° to 194°Fahrenheit.
