Recommended | in this cup of coffee, drink the aroma of the whole world

For the gourmet @ Shanpangpang, coffee is a daily necessity. Like to try different kinds of coffee, but also very particular about the taste, she recently found a coffee bean shop, can meet her various needs for coffee.

Every morning or afternoon, I have a cup of homemade coffee on hand. As long as I don't drink it, I will feel that something is missing. Making coffee from freshly roasted coffee beans is my first choice. The reason why I love coffee beans so much is that coffee made from freshly roasted coffee beans has a unique flavor, which may be fresh flowers, sweet and sour fruit, or mellow nutty flavor, which can not be done by other coffee.

In fact, the threshold for drinking a cup of good coffee made from freshly roasted coffee beans at home is not as high as expected, and it is not necessary to have complicated utensils such as coffee machines and bean grinders. Without the coffee machine, I can simply use the hand brewing pot and mocha pot to complete the extraction of coffee and enjoy the unique flavor that makes people smile. As long as the thickness of the powder and the proper brewing technique, the brewing effect is just as good.

Because of my love of coffee, I consume a lot of coffee beans, and I will try both individual products and blends. I will buy all kinds of beans through online stores and independent cafes, even when I travel around the world.

After trying all kinds of coffee beans, I gradually found a way out of these seemingly similar beans, and I also lost my opinion on the quality of beans. Recently, I found a very excellent coffee bean shop called fish tank coffee in the kitchen bazaar.

Fish tank coffee (FISHTANK) is actually a community coffee shop with a coffee bean baking factory, which has been going on for five years and now has two exquisite brick-and-mortar stores in Nanjing. In order to allow more people to drink high-quality coffee beans, the fish tank began to provide express coffee beans, beans are freshly roasted, locking the flavor.

If you don't have a bean grinder, don't worry, note "need grinding powder" when buying, and then note your brewing equipment, such as "hand filter cup", and the fish tank will grind the fresh beans to the right thickness.

It is the individual coffee that best reflects the quality and unique flavor of coffee beans. In the cafe outside, a cup of high-quality hand-brewed coffee can be bought for 40 to 50, and some rare beans can even be sold for hundreds of yuan. In the fish tank, the price of a cup outside can buy a bag of excellent coffee beans, enough to brew several times. I tried several individual beans in the fish tank. The beautiful and complete bean shape and unique aroma are full of surprises.

For the new single bean, I will certainly follow the brewing advice to make a cup of coffee first. When flushing the coffee beans in the fish tank by hand, the hand grinders, hand pots, filter cups and so on I use are the most basic equipment. As long as the simplest way, from grinding to brewing, will be immersed in a strong aroma, happiness is extremely inflated.

According to the baking advice of the fish tank, we first put 15g coffee powder ground into granulated sugar into the filter cup.

Brew the coffee powder with a hand pot. Be sure to leave 30 seconds of steaming time for the coffee to fully release the aroma.

In the process of hand brewing, the water flow is as stable as possible, and the overall brewing time of one-person coffee is controlled at about two minutes, and slowly enjoy the process of filtering out the aroma.

Whether you like fresh, full-bodied, sour or mellow, you can find individual coffee beans that suit your taste in the fish tank. The following flavors of individual beans are what I like very much:

-- Malt fragrance | Beauty of Bolivia--

This is a bean with a very soft taste. There are many friends around me who don't like the sour taste of coffee, so I highly recommend you try this Bolivian coffee bean. It has a well-balanced palate and is easily accepted by the public. it is medium-to-deep baking, with rich nutty aromas and a sweet maltose finish.

-- Sophora flower | Ethiopian Yegashifi Red Cherry Project--

Fresh and bright aromas of flowers and fruits, with delicate and soft acidity at the end of the rich aromas of flowers and fruits. In the baking process, after repeated research, the baker maintained a good sugar sweetness and aroma, and the taste was very clean. You can smell the fragrance of pomelo and feel the fragrance of locust flowers in your mouth, delicate and juicy.

-- plum | Costa Rica Laslajas--

This bean comes from La Lajas Manor, which is the first manor in Central America to do honey treatment and natural sun treatment. The raw materials used in the manor are already high in sugar. Through slow sun drying, the raw beans can release more natural sweetness and flavor from the inside, and even emit the aroma of fruitcake, black sugar and even sherry.

In the process of flushing this bean by hand, you can smell a slight aroma of vanilla, touch the tip of the tongue with a sour taste of plums, and after swallowing, the mouth unexpectedly aftertaste Bailey sweet milk and fermented aroma.

When it comes to suitable single-grade beans, an espresso lover certainly can't miss using it to extract a single espresso SOE (Single Origin Espresso). To put it bluntly, it is to use single-product beans to make espresso. Here I chose only two beans to make SOE-- vanilla, plum, Berry Costa, and nutty, malt, low-acidity Bolivia.

Bolivia changed the gentle performance of hand flushing during the extraction, the nutty aroma was stimulated and the whole became very fragrant, the maltose was as sweet as before, rich in oil and fat, and performed well. Because of its mellow and low acidity, it is also excellent to drink it directly.

But I still couldn't help it and extravagantly made a cup of milk coffee. For fear that the flavor would be diluted by milk, I only added a small amount of iced milk to make a cup of dirty. Gulp down, hot and cold blend, rich and cool intertwined, super suitable for summer.

Another Costa Rica in the extraction process to enjoy a strong vanilla flavor, relatively heavy taste. I made a latte with double concentration. The unique fermented aroma of this bean makes this cup of milk coffee extremely rich. After the entrance, the acidity on the tip of the tongue and the aroma of Baileys are fully stimulated.

For Costa Rica beans, it is also very suitable for making Irish coffee. Bailey liqueur is added to the extracted iced coffee liquid to reflect the flavor incisively and vividly.

Another one suitable for summer is cold coffee. Cold coffee made from freshly roasted beans is also great. 20g coffee beans are ground and soaked in 500ml cold water for 12-24 hours. If you are ready the night before, you can enjoy a fresh cup of iced coffee the next morning, which belongs to the happiness of summer.

I also try fresh roasted coffee beans to make milk extract coffee. 20g coffee beans are ground and soaked in 450ml milk for 12-24 hours. The unique flavor of the coffee is directly immersed in the milk, which is simply too extravagant to enjoy.

I will make some earbags by hand with my favorite beans and bring them to the company to drink, which is very convenient. Just buy an ear-hanging paper bag, put 10g coffee powder ground into granulated sugar, and heat up the edge of the earbag with a plastic sealing machine. The hanging-ear coffee packaged with freshly ground coffee beans will definitely refresh your previous understanding of hanging ears, enhance the aroma and taste, and, of course, do-it-yourself fun.

And girls who love desserts, how can they miss the classic coffee jelly made by Mr. Xiao this summer? The aroma of milky coffee is perfectly integrated, melted in the mouth and cold. This dessert directly uses cold bubbles to extract complete coffee beans. The demand for beans is extremely high. If the beans are of good quality, they will naturally be more delicious. Therefore, it is more appropriate to choose beans from fish tanks according to your preference.

Finally, we should note that if you need to ask the store to grind the coffee beans in the fish tank, remember to note "need to be ground" when placing the order, and then note your brewing equipment or method.
