Types of Brewing Styles...

Below are the 5 most common types of brewing styles! Most Franchise or Chain Cafes will use the Filtered Drip option! Its tend to be the fastest and cheapest option available!

TYPES OF BREWING

Filter Drip: A machine heats then delivers measured water into a filter containing ground coffee. The resulting liquid drips into the carafe. About 70 per cent of North American coffee is brewed this way.

Percolation: A pumping percolator uses the power of boiling water to force water up a tube then filters it down over a bed of ground coffee. Purists claim boiling water through percolation takes away from the flavor.

French press or plunger pot: The coffee grounds are “steeped” in hot water, like tea, then separated from the liquid by pressing them to the bottom of the brewing receptacle with a mesh plunger. This coffee is stronger than drip brews.
Cowboy or Campfire Coffee (a.k.a. open pot brewing): Boil a pot of water; throw the grounds in, then after a period of time, the grounds will sink to the bottom, and the coffee is done.

Espresso: A brewing method as well as type of coffee, it forces hot water under pressure through tightly packed coffee, one or two servings at a time. The coffee itself is a darker roast and a finer grind than standard North American coffee.
