Coffee is so popular in Colombia that it has become indispensable material for writers like Garcia M á rquez. For example, coffee is mentioned in every chapter of "one hundred years of Solitude", which won him the Nobel Prize for literature. Chapter 5 someone mixed a dose of laudanum into the bride's coffee in order to obstruct the protagonist Colonel Aureliano Buendia's wedding. In chapter 6, in order to show the magic of the colonel, there is a description like this: "once his coffee was poisoned with brucine enough to poison a horse, and he survived."

Coffee beans should not be drunk directly, but should be ground into powder and then brewed. Colombian coffee beans, as the name implies, are produced in Colombia. Due to the characteristics of Colombian climate, Colombian coffee beans have the characteristics of sweet in acid and flat in bitterness.

How to cook Colombian coffee beans

In the operation steps, we mainly pay attention to the following four points:

1. Choose your favorite coffee brewing method

Some people like to brew coffee in a convenient and fast American coffee pot, some prefer the romantic elegance of siphon coffee, while others prefer the simplicity and purity of French pressure, the Italian style of mocha pot, or the flavor of hand-brewed coffee. In any case, the cooking method that is suitable for others may not be the most suitable for you, and choosing your own most suitable and favorite coffee brewing method is the first condition to enjoy the fun of DIY coffee brewing.

2. Make coffee with good water

More than 98% of the ingredients in a cup of coffee are water. The importance of water is beyond doubt! If you use bad water to brew coffee, even using the best beans is in vain-because bad water can destroy the best coffee. Even a simple filter kettle can filter out many bad substances for tap water, making the brewed coffee more fragrant, strong and mellow. Like making tea, you need to avoid using distilled water, and if the tap water in your place is of poor quality, using clean mountain spring water is also an ideal way.

3. Coffee beans need enough to taste.

Coffee beans must be used in sufficient portions. Too little coffee powder may lead to insipidity, but not too much at a time. The standard amount of coffee is to brew a cup of coffee (about 180cc) with two flat spoons (about 15 grams) of coffee beans (powder).

4. The water temperature is controlled between 88 and 94 degrees.

Generally speaking, the most suitable water temperature for brewing coffee is between 88 and 94 degrees Celsius. Avoid using boiling hot water to brew coffee. Let the water boil and let it sit for 1-2 minutes before making coffee.
