How your coffee is brewed can have a lot of effect on its taste. At the Starbucks Reserve coffee bar, guests often encounter new techniques in brewing their favorite cup. Such techniques include a siphon brewer, Pour-over coffee, Chemex, coffee press, clover brewer, espresso, and Nitro coffee. These techniques will bring out different notes in the coffee itself. A siphon brewer is sure to garner a crowd even though the technique was first created in the 1830s, where as Nitro coffee is cold coffee served through a Nitrogen tap.

Key Takeaways:

• The Siphon brewer, which came about in the 1830s has a 10 minute process that makes enough coffee for two. It has a great taste.
• The pour over technique requires the barista to pour hot water over ground coffee in a steady annular motion. This technique helps to bring our flavors in the coffee and usually takes 3 minutes.
• Espresso is brewed quickly in just a few seconds and is made when hot water is pushed through ground coffee while under pressure.

“When customers come here, they encounter brewing methods they may have never seen before,” Sternquist says. “We try to cultivate their curiosity, and ask them to come on a journey with us.”
