Make coffee

The coffee maker is not the only factor in making delicious coffee. The "four basic principles for making coffee"-the proper proportion of coffee powder, the degree of grinding of coffee, the quality of water and the freshness of coffee powder are more important than coffee modulators. If you have a superficial knowledge of coffee making, you can use a coffee press, a home coffee maker and an espresso maker to make delicious coffee.

Proportion

To master the ratio of coffee powder to water-this is the most important step in the process of preparing delicious coffee. In order to make the best coffee, we recommend that you use 180 ml of water with 10 grams of coffee powder. If you think the coffee drink made in this way is too strong, you can add some hot water to it.

(10 grams of coffee = 180 ml of water)

Grinding

Different blending methods have different requirements for the degree of coffee grinding. But in general, the shorter the preparation time, the higher the degree of grinding of coffee. For example, the coffee powder used in an espresso machine must be very fine because it takes only about 18 to 23 seconds to prepare. However, the coffee powder used in the coffee press can be rougher because the water and the coffee powder have a four-minute chance of direct contact.

Espresso machine-very fine coffee powder

Drip filter coffee maker-medium size coffee powder

Coffee press-coarse coffee powder

water

98% of a cup of coffee is water, so the water you use to make coffee must be clean, fresh and free of impurities. It is best to heat the water to 90 degrees Celsius to 96 degrees Celsius. Hot water at this temperature can extract all the flavors of coffee. Water with insufficient temperature is not available.

Pure water = better coffee

Freshness

Coffee is a fresh drink, its enemies are oxygen, light, heat and moisture. In order to ensure the freshness of the coffee, the coffee should be kept in a dark, sealed container at room temperature. You can keep your coffee in this way for up to a week. For best results, ground coffee powder should be used immediately.

Fresh coffee = keep it for no more than a week.

Coffee lovers know that buying the best coffee beans is only the first step in enjoying good coffee, and the way you make coffee is as important as choosing coffee beans. One of the secrets of home coffee: in order to avoid bitterness, do not boil coffee. The ideal temperature should be between 90 and 96 degrees (195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit).

Two: you can't heat the coffee again. It is recommended that you only make the amount you want to drink before you enjoy it. The temperature to maintain the best flavor of coffee is 86 degrees and made with fresh water. The amount of water per cup should be 98%. If there is a strange smell in the water, consider filtering it with activated carbon.

Third: used coffee powder should not be used again. These are the residues of coffee, which contain only the more bitter ingredients.

Four: please use the correct degree of grinding provided by the coffee manufacturer. Grinding too fine can cause excessive extraction, produce bitterness, or clog coffee utensils. If the grinding is too rough, the coffee will be as light as water. If you use a coffee drip filter, you should make sure that the coffee is dripped within two to four minutes.

Five: it is recommended that you match 10 grams of coffee with 180 milliliters (6 ounces) of water. No matter how much coffee you want to make, it should be made in the same proportion. In addition, you can also adjust the proportion according to your preferences, but if you use less coffee powder, or if you grind too fine, the coffee will be light and bitter.

Six: coffee should be kept warm on the stove for no more than 20 minutes. If you leave it for too long, it will lose its flavor. It is recommended to use a thermos or vacuum bottle to keep the coffee flavor for a long time.

Choose the right coffee making utensils

Coffee press filter pot

Coffee filter press is our recommended way of cooking coffee, which is loved by coffee experts and can be said to be a modern version of the traditional open pot (open-pot style). Using this kind of brewer, the coffee is ground into thicker particles and washed into hot water. After 4 minutes, the stainless steel filter is pressed down to separate the coffee from the coffee powder. The taste of the brewed coffee is stronger and mellow than the drip coffee, because the filter paper used by the drip filter coffee machine will filter out the grease flavor of the coffee and add the smell of the filter paper itself.

Drip filter coffee machine

Drip filter coffee cooker, including manual water injection drip filter and electric water drip filter coffee machine, is a more convenient and common way to make coffee at present. In order to improve the shortcomings of filter paper, metal filter has also been developed. So that you can also make good coffee from the drip filter coffee machine.

Espresso machine

Recently, espresso machines that use pressure extraction coffee are becoming more and more common. Although it takes more skill to make twice as good coffee from an espresso machine than drip-filter coffee, when you drink your own espresso or cappuccino, the satisfaction you get is bound to make you feel that all the effort is well worth it.

There are also some very good utensils, including the traditional Italian mocha pot, siphon coffee maker and condensation extraction.

Properly preserve coffee beans to ensure freshness

If you want fresh coffee, be sure to preserve the beans properly. Starbucks coffee bean bags are a special polypropylene lining and piston hole to protect coffee beans from air, moisture and light.

For daily consumption, keep the coffee in a sealed container at room temperature, but not in the refrigerator, as moisture will seep into the coffee every time you open the refrigerator. If you want to save it for later use, store it in the refrigerator (refrigerated only for coffee that will not be eaten soon). It is best to seal the flavor lock with a piece of tape to help maintain the flavor.

A misstatement about coffee grinding

If I grind it more carefully, I can reduce the amount of coffee powder.

This idea may be the cause of many bad coffee, a certain amount of coffee, can only make a good coffee is fixed, grinding too fine, will only release the bitterness of the coffee.

This can be said to be a chemical problem. When you make coffee, you try to extract the right proportion of the ingredients from the coffee powder and release it into the water. If you extract too little, you will miss the essence of the coffee, if you extract too much, you will drink the bitterness of the coffee.

Grind out a good flavor

Each kind of coffee brewing apparatus has certain requirements on the degree of grinding in the design. Meet this requirement in order to make a good cup of coffee. In general, the shorter the brewing time, the finer the coffee particles are needed (for example, the particles needed for espresso are very fine), and the longer the brewing time is, the thicker the particles are (for example, the thicker particles needed for the filter pot).

Grinding of coffee beans

When using a blade bean grinder, remember to shake and grind at the same time, so that the grinding can be more uniform.

Generally speaking, a cup of coffee is about 180 ml of water and needs to be brewed with 10 grams of ground coffee powder. But the size of the home brewer varies widely, rarely 180 milliliters, but a delicious cup of coffee can be made at this ratio.
