| Water Temperature |
Unlike tea, boiling water should never be used in making good coffee as the high temperature will scald the coffee and many of the volatile compounds will be lost.
On the other hand water that is not hot enough will be unable to extract many of the soluble flavour compounds and the bulk of the flavour will remain in the grind.
The optimum range of water temperature common to all brewing methods is between 93-98 degrees Celsius. Often referred to as water just 'off' the boil.
