## The Art of Making Perfect Coffee ☕

### Introduction

Today we'll explore the \*\*fascinating world\*\* of coffee brewing. As \*Italian coffee master\* Giuseppe Romano once said:

> The perfect cup of coffee is a symphony of temperature, time, and technique.

\### Essential Equipment

Before we begin, let's gather our tools:

1. Burr grinder

2. Ceramic preferred

3. Steel acceptable

4. Scale (0.1g precision)

5. Gooseneck kettle

---

Here's a simple recipe in `code format`:

```
def brew_coffee():

water\_temp = 94  # Celsius

coffee\_ratio = 1/16  # coffee to water

return "Perfect cup!"
```

Pro Tips

\* Always use \*\*\*freshly roasted\*\*\* beans

\* Within 2-4 weeks of roast date

\* Store in an airtight container

\* Water quality matters

\* \~150 PPM mineral content

\* Filtered is better than distilled

You can find great beans at \[Example Roaster\](https://example.com) \~\~but they're expensive\~\~.

Here's a simple brewing checklist:

\- \[ \] Heat water to 94°C

\- \[x\] Grind beans

\- \[ \] Pre-wet filter

\- \[ \] Enjoy!
