Make a cup of coffee, the temperature is very important, overheated water will be bitter, too cold will be sour. If you look at the fact that many coffee shops use temperature as their name, you can see that temperature is important for coffee extraction.

As long as the coffee is excessively extracted, it has no good taste, as long as it is brewed properly, you can drink fuller coffee. Generally speaking, when the coffee is more than 90 °C, the water temperature is a little higher, and the bitterness will be more obvious at this time. But if the temperature is too low, the acidity of the coffee will be more obvious. However, if you use a machine to cook, you will not have this feeling, but if you use hand, there will be a significant difference.
