The basics about: Coffee

[Music] that's right coffee why well why not [Music] when playing a game or watching something it's a nice idea to have a drink nearby some people enjoy drinking tea others enjoy drinking coffee or maybe whiskey and even water why not if you're interested in getting into drinking coffee well i know the basics and the basics are quite enough for you to enjoy a nice cup of coffee so keep watching and by the end of the video you know the basics too there are basically two types of coffee or two types of coffee plants one of them is called arabica and the other is called robusta there are some major differences between the two the arabica coffee usually has a better taste more smooth when compared to the robusta the robusta has more of that bitter taste that people don't usually like very much but the robusta has almost a double caffeine than the arabica does so if you're looking for a nice taste you go for arabica if you're looking for caffeine you go to robusta so the arabica coffee is usually more expensive than the robusta because the arabica plant is more delicate it's more prone to disease than the robusta the robusta plant will survive longer and give coffee the whole year long when buying your coffee you can find it on the package if it's arabica or robusta if it doesn't say you can go by the price if it's an expensive coffee it's probably arabica and if it's too cheap it's probably robusta arabica is way more expensive than the robusta but they're both quite affordable if you want to have both the taste of the arabica and the caffeine from the robusta you can find some coffees out there that are a mix so there are all kinds of options out there you just have to look regardless of arabic or robusta the coffees have different roasts they go from light to dark and maybe very dark you can find now the difference between a light and a dark roast is mostly the flavor the amount of caffeine on a light and on a dark roast is pretty much the same it has minor variations but doesn't matter much so don't get a dark coffee expecting more caffeine because it probably won't make much difference get whatever roast tastes the better for you other than that you'll find all the packages things like this coffee has hints of nuts or that coffee has hints of dark chocolate and oranges or berries of vanilla or whatever well unless you're a fanatic that doesn't matter much it's more like a trial and error thing you try a coffee if you like it keep buying it if you don't go for another one until you find one or two you really like it never hurts to have more than one type of coffee around it's just like tea sometimes you're more in the mood for a stronger coffee and sometimes you're more on the mood for a smooth one [Music] just as important as the coffee is the water the best idea is to use mineral water or filtered if you're gonna use a tap water then remember this the quality of your coffee will be as good as the quality of your water there are several ways of making coffee i'll share with you the two ones i like the most as a general rule it's one tablespoon of coffee for a cup of coffee you want done you can try using a little more a little less until you find what suits your taste the better so the first way is the most simple one with a filter just place the filter then place the coffee don't compact it or anything just let it rest there pre-warm the cup if you can just get some of that hot water place it on the cup let it rest for a couple of seconds until the cup gets hot and then get it back the ideal temperature for getting the best taste from your coffee is right below boiling point so when the bubbles begin to rush upwards that's usually the right timing if you forget about it and it fully boils then just let it cool down for a minute or so and then go on and make your coffee slowly pour the water that's important and just wait now making the coffee with a filter is one of the easiest ways but the paper filter also holds back some of that oil that the coffee naturally has and that is why i have the second way of making coffee which is with a french press now you can get french prices from prices that go from 10 to 100 bucks don't worry about that get one that looks decent it's enough again just like you did with the filter coffee it's a good idea to preheat both the french press and your cup then you just add the coffee add the water put the top part back on and just let it rest for 4 minutes after the four minutes just push it down slowly and serve if you compare both a coffee made on a filter and a coffee made on a french breast you'll see that the coffee made on a french press is kind of thicker and has some oils on top of it but those oils might cause some problems with cholesterol if you drink too much so it's a good idea to save the french press coffee for whenever you feel like something different and then just add some sugar if you want to get your favorite game or your favorite troll and enjoy [Music]
