Double-brewed coffee simply refers to coffee that is double strength. Double-brewed coffee is nothing more than coffee with twice the concentration and a stronger flavor. There are two ways to make double-brewed coffee. First, you can brew coffee twice through the coffee pot by running a pot of already brewed coffee over fresh coffee beans. Second, you can brew coffee with twice as many coffee beans. The latter method is the most preferred because coffee that is simply run through the coffee pot more than once often acquires a strange, stale taste and can ruin your coffee machine.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Coffee beans Coffee grinder Coffee pot
  1. Step 1

    Grind your coffee beans as you usually do. Grind the beans very fine for a stronger brew.

  2. Step 2

    Measure your coffee grounds. Double the amount you usually use to brew coffee. If you normally use four tablespoons to make one pot of coffee, use eight to make one pot of double-brewed coffee.

  3. Step 3

    Pour your coffee grounds into the coffee filter.

  4. Step 4

    Fill the water chamber and close the lid to the coffee machine. You can use less water than you usually do for even stronger double-brewed coffee.

  5. Step 5

    Allow your coffee to process. Notice that as your coffee brews it will be much darker in color. When you taste your double-brewed coffee, it should have a strong, bold flavor.

Tips & Warnings
  • Add spices such as cardamom into your coffee grounds before you brew them to make your coffee taste more interesting.
  • Beware that double-brewed coffee contains twice the caffeine content of a standard cup of coffee. Be careful not to overdose on caffeine or shock your body system.
