Let me briefly mention the three steps of making coffee by hand:

wet

Let the coffee touch the water at the beginning, let the coffee start to release molecules, let the carbon dioxide release completely, and then inject water into the coffee extract.

dissolved

Coffee soluble molecules in hot water process, like sweet flavor extraction time needs to be shorter, too long will dissolve bitter molecules.

diffusion

Coffee aroma molecules permeate out of the coffee beans and diffuse into the hot water to become coffee in the cup.

design
