But there are times when the thought of such a strong coffee isn\u2019t very appealing. Whether it&#8217;s in the morning or the afternoon, sometimes it\u2019s nice to have a milder\u00a0coffee. That&#8217;s why I often pick the <strong>Slow Coffee\u00a0<\/strong>brewing method\u00a0instead\u2026 Over the last few years, Slow Coffee has made a big comeback. Once thought to be a weak, tasteless coffee, it is now respected as a milder, aromatic and more caffeinated coffee option than an\u00a0<strong>espresso. <\/strong>A well-made cup of slow coffee<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>will be bursting with flavours and help you re-discover coffee!<\/p>\n<p>For any form of slow coffee, it\u2019s always crucial to get the right ratios between water volume, amount of coffee and infusion time. You can make slow coffee in many different ways. And each method has its own particularities, each produces different results. Some require more skills and\/or equipment than others. Either way, it is a brewing method anyone can have a go at! Let&#8217;s go through the various\u00a0<strong>ways of making slow coffee<\/strong>, then see which one suits you best!<\/p>\n\n            <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"Container\" data-default-size=\"lg\" data-md-size=\"auto\" >\n    <section class=\"Text Wys \">\n        <h2>Espresso vs. Slow Coffee<\/h2>\n<p> An espresso is a caffeine-packed shot of coffee. It is made via\u00a0a pump that forces water through finely ground compacted coffee. This creates a high level of pressure, resulting in a rich aromatic coffee with a creamy-like texture on top (known as \u201ccrema\u201d).  On the other hand, no pressure is used to make <strong>slow coffee<\/strong>. Instead, the water slowly goess through uncompressed ground coffee. A coarser grind is required for this method. The end-result is a much\u00a0milder coffee but just as rich in aromas.  Because water is in contact coffee for much, much longer as it drips through, your coffee will contain <strong>more caffeine<\/strong> than an espresso.<\/p>\n\n            <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"Container\" data-default-size=\"lg\" data-md-size=\"auto\" >\n    <section class=\"Text Wys \">\n        <h2>Slow coffee with a French press<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5667 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coffee-spirit.maxicoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/french-press.jpg\" alt=\"pylano french press\" width=\"1600\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coffee-spirit.maxicoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/french-press.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.coffee-spirit.maxicoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/french-press-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.coffee-spirit.maxicoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/french-press-1024x448.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.coffee-spirit.maxicoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/french-press-768x336.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coffee-spirit.maxicoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/french-press-1536x672.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>French Press coffee maker<\/strong> is an old-style brewing method that\u2019s made a big comeback after many cameo appearances in American TV series.
