COSORI Rapid Boil Smart Electric Kettle For Coffee

If you like hot beverages like cocoa, tea or coffee, boiling water can easily become part of daily life. While it’s simple enough to heat a pot of water on the stove, the process can be laborious. An electric kettle lets you simply plug your kettle in and insert water, leaving you ready to enjoy your favorite beverage in a matter of minutes.

But there are more benefits to electric kettles than easy, fast boiling water. With an electric kettle, you take hot water along with you wherever you go. Want to spend a weekend at a cabin or hotel? Pack up your kettle and go. Even if your destination doesn’t have a stove or coffeemaker, you’ll be set.

If you’re making coffee using hot water, it’s essential to use freshly ground coffee if you can. This will ensure you get the best flavor possible. You can buy portable coffee grinders to take with you if you want portability.

It’s also essential to get your water to the right temperature before pouring it over coffee grounds. The best water temperature for roasting coffee is 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit. Since the boiling point of liquid is 212 degrees, you should be fairly safe, but resting your water 30 seconds after boiling it can help reduce the risk you’ll scald your grounds.

To make pour-over coffee, you’ll need a filter. You’ll then pour a small amount of the hot water over the grounds, then wait for it to do something called “bloom,” which shows your coffee is fresh. As carbon dioxide is released, you’ll see the liquid begin to bubble and swell. This process can take about 30 seconds. Once that’s complete, you can begin pouring the hot water in four short pours, spacing each one apart by 30 seconds. When you remove your filter, you should have a delicious cup of coffee.
