The ChefSteps Coffee Class Has Landed

French-Press-1

Is there such a thing as perfect coffee? And even if there was, isn’t everyone’s perfect coffee different? Whether you’re a latte person, a skinny milk person or maybe even a decaf person – finding the perfect cup of coffee can be a challenge. Some people really experiment with their tastes, maybe even looking into cbd coffee wholesale options, to try and get it right. It’s hard to say if coffee can be perfect, but one thing’s certain: with a little education and experimentation, you can refine your homebrew to make your version of a perfect cup – with just the right sweetness, acidity, strength, and mouthfeel. Thousands of coffee drinkers don’t have the right equipment to create a delicious cup of coffee. Even if they try homebrewing, they have a rubbish coffee grinder when in reality, the Best Coffee Grinder is needed. Once you’ve discovered your favorite coffee style, you can use that perfected method every dang day. You’ll soon be creating your own DIY Home Coffee Stations that will be the envy of all of your coffee-loving friends.

To create our comprehensive new Coffee class, ChefSteps partnered up with world-renowned experts James Hoffmann and Ben Kaminsky to teach java fans everything they need to brew a beverage that will far surpass the stuff at the local cafe.

So, what’s inside?

* A foolproof method for mastering extraction – the groundbreaking concept behind the world’s best coffees.
* Guides to buying roasted beans, coffee equipment, and essential books for your home library.
* Step-by-step techniques for French Press, Chemex, and Aeropress brewers, plus an amazing technique for Quick Cold Brew coffee.
* 2 pre-brewing tricks for achieving the smoothest brews.
* 4 super-cool coffee recipes – including a novel technique for making coffee “chocolate.”
* A video lecture series from our experts.
* A whole new outlook on your morning brew.

This class is all about dialing in your daily brew – choosing your favorite roasted beans, picking the perfect brew techniques, and refining your recipe – until that morning ritual isn’t just about caffeine intake, it’s a full-on culinary experience. This is the drink that coaxes you awake each and every morning. Don’t you want to get it just right?

Mmmm…burgers.

Here at ChefSteps, we have burgers on the brain. Our kitchen crew has been working hard on an upcoming project that will delve real deep into the matter. One thing we’ve discovered along the way: Everybody has opinions about this most American of sandwiches. Well, we want to hear yours. Do you like your patty piled high with wet and dry toppings, or more minimally dressed? Are you a year-round griller, or do you prefer broiling your burgs in the cold months? What are your feelings about fat content in the beef? Perfect melting cheese? Shake Shack vs. In-N-Out? Whatever. Share your thoughts here, and look out for the ChefSteps Burger class—coming your way soon.
