Suggestion of cooking parameters | determine different temperature of cooking water according to different thermometers
For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)
There are always beginners asking: why does my coffee taste different every time? After careful investigation, it was found that many people did not pay attention to the parameter of water temperature. Either it is calculated by boiling and then waiting for a few minutes and dozens of seconds, or it is estimated directly back and forth several times, or even some directly "almost" rush …...
Today, I would like to share with you that among the various controllable and uncontrollable cooking parameters, the most easily controlled and ignored parameter is the water temperature.

Water temperature is very important, because different water temperatures will extract coffee with different characteristics and flavors.
There are usually three types of water temperature when extracting coffee:
1. Use water below room temperature
2. Use hot water
3. Coffee is brewed with water.
1
Coffee extracted with water below room temperature usually takes as little as 2 hours to more than 24 hours in order to fully extract the coffee ingredients. The coffee extracted in this way is a bit like wine, which can be preserved for a relatively long time. The longer the time is, the softer the taste will be, but it will go bad if you put it for too long. The "cold bubble method (Cold Brew)", known as ice drop coffee, belongs to this method.

Coffee extracted with hot water is the most common way. The general water temperature is between 80 and 95 degrees Celsius. The lower the temperature is, the stronger the sour taste is, and the bitter taste also appears. The taste of coffee extracted by different water temperature varies greatly, so even if you use the same coffee beans and the same grinding degree, different water temperature will bring different feelings. Therefore, people who like to use hand drip filter pot or French filter pressure pot for a long time have their own preferred water temperature.

Coffee is brewed with water by extracting coffee at a temperature close to 100 degrees Celsius, as is the case with Turkish coffee pots. Relatively speaking, you can drink stronger coffee, and the water temperature is always fixed at 100 degrees Celsius, it is easier to maintain the consistent flavor of coffee.

Adjust the water temperature can control the taste of coffee, too bitter, the water temperature is lower; too sour, the water temperature is higher. Remember, as long as you know how to adjust the water temperature, you can change countless different flavors of coffee.

In fact, thermometers are a very necessary tool for making coffee. There are many kinds of thermometers on the market, but the measured temperatures are actually different. Compare them with the common digital display thermometers, metal rod pointer thermometers and glass alcohol thermometers:
Display temperature under the same condition
Advantages
Shortcoming
Digital display thermometer
Higher
Accurate reading and sensitive response
Expensive
Pointer thermometer (metal rod)
Medium
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
Digital display thermometer
Metal rod pointer thermometer
Glass alcohol thermometer
Shallow baking
(High Roast~City Roast)
High temperature
92-90 degrees
90 degrees
87 degrees
Medium baking
Full City Roast

Everyone should have their own set of brewing parameters, derived from their own specific understanding of brewing equipment and coffee beans. There is no need to completely refer to other people's parameters and techniques to carry out your own brewing-even if it is the parameters of a certain champion or a certain big coffee…
Remember, what works best for you is what works best for you. It's time to try to find your favorite flavor by changing the temperature of the brew.
