How to fill out fair trade coffee

How to fill out fair trade coffee:

1. Start by choosing fair trade certified coffee beans or grounds. Look for the fair trade label to ensure that the coffee was produced under fair trade principles, which promote social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
2. Measure the desired amount of coffee based on your preferred brewing method. Typically, a ratio of 1 tablespoon of coffee per 6 ounces of water is recommended, but you can adjust according to your taste preferences.
3. Grind the fair trade coffee beans if using whole beans. For the best flavor, grind the beans just before brewing. Different brewing methods require different grind sizes, so make sure to grind the coffee to the appropriate coarseness.
4. Prepare the water for brewing. Ideally, use filtered water to avoid any unwanted flavors. The water temperature should be between 195-205°F (90-96°C) for optimal extraction.
5. Choose your preferred brewing method, such as using a French press, drip coffee maker, pour-over, or espresso machine. Follow the instructions specific to your chosen method to brew the coffee.
6. Allow the fair trade coffee to brew according to the recommended time for your specific brewing method. This can range from a few minutes for a French press to several minutes for drip coffee. Avoid over-extraction by not leaving the coffee sitting on the hot plate for too long.
7. Once the coffee is brewed, pour it into your favorite mug or cup and enjoy. You can add milk, cream, sugar, or other flavorings according to your taste preferences.
