How to Make World's Best Tim Hortons Coffee _ How to Make Coffee at Home

Hello , this is Ahmed Don of Ahmed dot com .

If you walk just for 10 minutes from my place in downtown Toronto , you're going to come across at least three .

Tim Hortons .

Tim Hortons is Canada's beloved fast food chain restaurant , which is famous for its coffee and uh nationwide .

Tim Hortons has about 5000 locations .

If you compare that with uh Starbucks or mcdonald's , they have about 1500 locations in today's video .

I'll show you how you can make Tim Hortons coffee at home .

I'll show you step by step process .

Let's begin .

The first ingredient you're going to require is Tim Hortons coffee .

Uh I use dark roast ground coffee , but Tim Hortons has regular version of coffee .

If you're in North America , you're going to find the Tim Hortons coffee on Amazon .

But if you're in other countries , you may or may not find it , but you can , you know , uh check , uh whether it is available and then in that case , if you don't find it , you can just replace it with other uh ground coffee .

But you know , it's going not going to be a cup of Tim Hortons coffee and the second ingredient is going to be sugar .

Uh If you don't use sugar , then you can just skip that and then you're going to need a creamer .

Uh Tim Hortons is uh use , uh you know , liquid creamer .

Uh They have also , you know , the option to have milk as well .

But uh at home , uh the creamer is going to bring up the best taste and the color of the coffee and then you need a coffee maker .

Now , there are other types of coffee makers .

Uh for example , you can using uh you know , coffee press or there's some other manual coffee maker .

Uh but uh I don't know actually how to use them or I never use them .

So my choice is going to be a simple coffee maker .

Uh It doesn't have to be anything expensive .

You can just buy a very simple one on Amazon for , you know , $15.20 dollars .

It's not really expensive .

So basically these are the ingredients I need and then you're going to have a start with the cold water .

So I'm going to start with this cup .

Uh This is about , I would say 78 ounce .

Uh you can just like , you know , uh put in cold water .

So let's start with the uh cold water .

So I let the water run for a few seconds to make it cold .

And then I'm going to just , you know , put the water in the coffee maker and then I'm going to , you know , uh take coffee uh and put it in the filter .

So what I noticed that , you know , to get the best taste just like Tim Hortons , you need to have about 1.75 tablespoon of uh coffee .

So it's kind of like , you know , one full tablespoon and then 75% of food and that comes very close to the team uh coffee you'd get at Tim Hortons if you are having dark roast .

So I'm going to show you what I mean .

So by one full , I mean , it's going to be something like this .

You can see that , you know , this is almost uh full and uh right here .

So I'm going to just put it in here and the second spoon is not going to be 100% full , but I would say about 75% full .

So you can see that , you know , it's not 100% full .

Uh If you make , if you put in more coffee here , it's going to get darker .

If you put in less coffee here , it's going to get lighter .

This is my own measurement to get coffee just like the one you buy at Tim Hortons , uh if you are buying dark roast .

So I'm going to just put it in here .

So I'll leave this here and let's close this uh lead .

So now I have everything ready and then I'm going to start doing the coffee So it's going to take a couple of minutes or so to get the coffee ready .

Usually I take about two cubes of sugar , which would be about uh 8 g or two spon .

But you can , you can like , you know , uh lessen the sugar and sometimes I don't use even sugar .

I use honey .

But uh you know , uh I'm just showing it with sugar because it's much easier and not everyone likes to use honey creamer would bring up the most taste and color .

You can use like , you know , liquid uh creamer or 10% uh creamer .

That would work too .

But definitely like , you know , if you use uh a , a powder creamer or 10% cream uh from uh the grocery stores , then that would work too .

But if you're using milk , it's going to give you a slightly different taste .

Uh It's not going to be like , you know , it's not going to bring up the full flavor and test .

That's what my observation .

So stick to either a regular creamer and , or a 10% cream milk uh from uh supermarkets .

I kind of like the sound of a coffee brewing .

Uh , you know , that's something I'm waiting for and then when it starts making like , you know , kind of , and when the noise gets louder , it means that you almost finished and then you can actually get the aroma or smell of the coffee when it's brewing .

So that's it like , you know , a few minutes to wait , but I just like , you know , waiting for coffee when it's brewing .

So this looks like done .

We have our coffee ready here .

I'm going to just put it in here , uh , to show you closer .

So here we have the cup of coffee .

So let's take a creamer and I would start with , uh one tablespoon first and then see , you know how it goes , You can uh see by looking at the color .

So let's put it first and I'm going to just , you know , worry , steer it a little bit .

So if you look at the color still , it looks a little bit dark , uh as you can see , it looks dark .

So I'm just going to , you know , put in slightly more creamer and this time , you know , I'm going to just try like , you know , uh half a teaspoon .

I'm not even trying to the tablespoon anymore .

So this is a tablespoon and I'm going to just try half a teaspoon to see how it brings up the flavor .

So let's try this .

Now , I can see that , you know , the color is coming really good .

So I'm going to just , you know , put in a cup of sugar .

So let's just wait and a dude for a bit and looks like the sugar all melted .

So here we have our Tim Horton's cup of coffee .

Well , although it looks a little bit dark because of lack of light inside the cup , but it's not really dark looking .

It has a very nice , golden , crispy look and let me just try it .

This is a perfect Tim Hortons , dark roast coffee .

Um I , I really cannot tell any difference right now that this is I made it at home .

It just taste , you know , it just tastes like one of the cup , one of the cup of coffees you bought at Tim Horton .

So we have uh come very close to the original uh Tim Hortons coffee you would buy at the store .

So this is your , you know , procedure to make Tim Horton's coffee at home .
