This is the right way to choose hanging-ear coffee and make it this way. Grasp three key points so that your coffee is not NG

For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

This time, the protagonist is super-economical + super-convenient filter / ear-style coffee.

If you want to make a good coffee, you don't need a tens of thousands of coffee machine or a thousands of bean grinders.

Filter coffee as long as open the package, hot water can be washed down to drink, it is really super convenient (and if the packaging looks good, it is also very suitable for gift giving! )

But in fact, there is still a little knowledge about how to buy and make coffee.

The following let the small coffee take you to learn to simply use the filter to hang, and pour out a cup of coffee as good as a coffee shop.

The key point of buying filter coffee: roasting freshly

After the coffee is ground, it begins to come into contact with the air, and its shelf life is shorter than that of unground ripe beans.

The best taste period is only within one month after baking.

If you choose filter coffee, be sure to choose one that is freshly baked within a month.

After more than a month, the flavor will go bad, and there will even be toxins that are not good for the body.

Here are three key points to make the coffee taste better:

1. Use a fine-mouthed pot instead of a drinking machine for water injection

Many people cook and filter and take it directly to the drinking machine. As soon as the hot water is turned on, they rush down.

But NO NO... If you want to make the coffee taste better, the water should be soft and stable so as not to produce too much smell.

As long as a simple small pot, you can flush out a steady flow of water, reduce the extraction of uncomfortable odor, and make the flavor better.

two。 Proportion is very important.

Many people will wonder, the powder-to-water ratio is 1:10, 1:15, 1:20. Is there a difference? Xiaocai's answer is: it's a big difference.

Too strong and too light will directly affect the taste of the drink.

It's the right thing to do in proportion... It is very important for coffee brewing!

It is suggested that when brewing and hanging, a graduated measuring cup can be used instead of a general mug, so that the proportion can be controlled more accurately.

3. Use temperature metering to measure water temperature

Water temperature is one of the four variables of coffee extraction, and the water temperature will also directly affect the extraction.

Although the filter type does not have to be the same as hand flushing, several degrees of C water must be used for accuracy.

But to make your filter taste better, the only advice for the water temperature is "no more than 95 degrees C & no less than 80 degrees C."

The reason is that the water temperature is too high, it is easy to dissolve the fiber part of the coffee powder, which will cause the coffee to taste rustling and uncomfortable.

To avoid excessive water temperature, electronic temperature measurement can be used to measure water temperature.

If there is no thermometer, generally speaking, after pouring the boiling water into the kettle and waiting for about 2 minutes, the water temperature will fall below 95 degrees.

Of course, the temperature should not be too low, otherwise the filter may be tasteless.

The method of low temperature extraction (cold brew) will be introduced separately after the small coffee.

Grasping the above three key points, rushing out the filter and upgrading the flavor to a level is not a problem.

If you like to add milk, the proportion of filter cooking can be increased (to put it simply, it is thicker).

Then in the ratio of coffee to milk at 1:8, plus warm milk (you can also beat the milk with a foam maker), it will become a delicious cup of coffee Ore / latte.
