How Do I Make Great Coffee at Home?

(1) Fiona: Listen
Michael, when will you teach me how to make great coffee at home?

Fiona wants to learn to make great coffee. She wants to learn "how to make great coffee".

(2) Michael: Listen
How about now?
(3) Fiona: Listen
Okay. How do you make great coffee at home?

She wants to know "how" (the method or the way of doing it).

(4) Michael: Listen
First, you have to buy [vocab word=whole]whole[/vocab] coffee [vocab word=bean]beans[/vocab]. Don't buy ground coffee or [vocab word=instant]instant[/vocab] coffee. Buy the expensive kind.

"ground" is the past participle of "grind". After you grind the coffee beans, you get "ground" coffee (powered coffee).

(5) Fiona: Listen
Okay. How do you use whole coffee beans?
(6) Michael: Listen
[vocab word=measure]Measure[/vocab] about 100 [vocab word=gram]grams[/vocab] of beans on a [vocab word=scale]scale[/vocab]. Use a [vocab word=grinder]grinder[/vocab] to [vocab word=grind]grind[/vocab] the beans. See?
(7) Fiona: Listen
Okay.
(8) Michael: Listen
Then, put the ground coffee into a coffee maker and [vocab word=brew]brew[/vocab] the coffee.

Making coffee from coffee bean (or ground coffee) is called "brewing coffee".

(9) Fiona: Listen
Got it. How do you [vocab word=store]store[/vocab] the leftover beans?

"Got it" is the short for "I got it". It means "I understand."

(10) Michael: Listen
You should put the beans into a [vocab word=container]container[/vocab] with a [vocab word=lid]lid[/vocab]. The container should be [vocab word=dark]dark[/vocab]. Store the container outside of your refrigerator, away from the [vocab word=sunlight]sunlight[/vocab].

You should use a dark container. Sunlight can't go into a dark container.

(11) Fiona: Listen
What does sunlight do to coffee beans?
(12) Michael: Listen
Sunlight [vocab word=spoil]spoils[/vocab] coffee beans.
(13) Fiona: Listen
I see. Thanks for teaching me. I'm going to try it at home.
