The Relationship between the Temperature of Coffee Brewing Water and the Extraction Tools and the Freshness of Coffee Beans

Drinking coffee is really just a way of life. When it comes to coffee, you always say carefully that you don't understand it, even if you drink it, you just drink it casually. Whether or not this cautious attitude is modest, in fact, knowing coffee is really not that important to most people.

If you drink a certain type of coffee, or a certain type of beans, a certain method, it feels good, and it is enough to continue drinking. However, if this is really just a casual drink, if you expect to make a good cup of coffee at home, it requires a lot of theoretical knowledge.

'Temperature'

1. Extraction rate: temperature on the extraction rate of coffee is relatively large. Bitter coke is the flavor of the later stage, if the coffee out of bitter, coke, astringent, etc., can be reduced to adjust the extraction temperature. On the other hand, if it feels light and watery, it means that there are still a lot of flavors left in the coffee grounds, so you can consider raising the temperature. The specific extraction rate is related to water temperature, stewing time, extraction time method, grinding thickness, even different grinding, different particle shapes after grinding, etc. Water temperature is only one of the variables, which needs dialectical consideration.

2. Stewed flour layer: On the premise of fresh beans, one of the places worth paying attention to is the development of stewed flour layer. Considering the temperature dimension, the higher the temperature, the faster the coffee powder expands upward after water injection. In the case of shallow baked beans, fine flour and powder layer is not easy to expand, you can consider increasing the water temperature to assist the development of powder layer, but to master the degree, in order to extract the principle.

3. This water temperature is a variable that can be adjusted. There is no fixed rule, especially hand flushing. It needs to be adjusted according to your own preferences. It is roughly that the water temperature is higher and bitter, and the lower and sour. Usually, it can be adjusted in the range of 80-92 degrees. It depends on the baking degree of beans and which aspect of flavor characteristics you want to stimulate. It is suggested that the baking degree of beans should be lower than 80-85 degrees. Baking degree lighter water temperature higher 88 - 92 usually moderate or unfamiliar beans recommended is 85-88 first try this specific also to cooperate with the grinding degree, stewing, to make specific adjustments.

4. Beginners hand flush proficiency is not yet proficient, or a less familiar beans, we usually recommend that the water temperature in the hand flush pot is around 85-88, the purpose is to make the coffee out, more able to show the flavor of coffee, but also to improve proficiency will help, usually novice for the water column size and the uniformity of the circle and other methods are not easy to master, then practice the coffee, do not be too persistent to stimulate a certain bean specific flavor, As long as you can not rush out the burnt taste and the smell of grass, it is enough to rush out the flavor that coffee should have.
