Correct Transcript:

Brewing the perfect cup of coffee is an art that involves precision and passion. Firstly, you need to select the right beans; I prefer those that are robust and rich in flavour. The water temperature should be just below boiling, around 95 degrees, to extract the coffee’s full essence. I recommend using a pour-over method for a clearer taste. Ensure you pour slowly and steadily, allowing the coffee to 'bloom'. This releases the gases and enhances the aroma. Finally, enjoy your coffee while it’s fresh and warm.

Printed "evolves", the speaker says "involves"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "that involves precision and". The two words start with different letters, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "bold", the speaker says "robust"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "those that are robust and". The printed and spoken words begin with different letters and the spoken word is longer.

Printed "taste", the speaker says "flavour"

Explanation: The speaker says "and rich in flavour", not "taste". The first letters are different, so follow the sound, not the meaning.

Printed "cleaner", the speaker says "clearer"

Explanation: Listen for "a pour-over method for a clearer taste". Both words start and end the same, so hear the middle of the word carefully.

Printed "hot", the speaker says "warm"

Explanation: You will hear "while it's fresh and warm". The words start with different letters and the spoken word is one letter longer.

"coffee’s" matches the audio

Explanation: "to extract the coffee's full essence" has a curly apostrophe, so it may look odd. It is exactly what the speaker says, so do not click it.

"'bloom'" matches the audio

Explanation: "allowing the coffee to 'bloom'" looks like a special term, so it may trick you. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.
