The most important thing in this recipe is a delicious, properly brewed coffee. Here are some tips to help you make a coffee-house worthy brew:
- Make sure you buy fresh, whole bean coffee
- Grind immediately before brewing
- Store your coffee beans in air-tight jars
- Use filtered water
Use a large pan for the coffee so that it's in a thin layer - this makes the scraping portion simpler.
