Last Updated: 2025/08/21, The hand-brewing method with follicular water temperature takes a long time compared with other brewing methods, so the temperature of water at high temperature can show the special flavor of single bean and reduce the sour taste. Deep-baked beans brewed at low temperature can reduce bitterness and miscellaneous taste, which is more palatable; on the contrary, the control of temperature will be more serious.

Follicular water temperature

The hand-brewing method takes a long time compared with other brewing methods, so the water temperature of shallow baking beans at high temperature can show the special flavor of single bean and reduce the sour taste; deep-baked beans brewed at low temperature can reduce bitterness and miscellaneous taste, which is more palatable; otherwise, the control of temperature will be more important.

So thermometers are necessary tools. There are many kinds of thermometers on the market, but the measured temperatures are actually different. Compare them with the common [metal rod pointer thermometers] and [glass alcohol thermometers]:

Display temperature under the same condition

Advantages

Shortcoming

Pointer thermometer (metal rod)

Higher

Less easy to damage

The probe rod needs to be soaked in more than half to be accurate.

Alcohol thermometer (glass)

Lower

Cheap

Easy to test temperature

Easy to break

The recommended brewing water temperature according to the baking depth is as follows:

Recommended suitable temperature

You can also try different flavors brewed after changing the temperature to find your favorite flavor.
