Wrong way of brewing:

A bag makes a mug-

Unless you are a fan of American light coffee, a bag of 10 grams of coffee powder is generally recommended to brew 150cc to 180cc. Beyond this amount, in addition to the lighter coffee, it is also easy to extract bad taste. People who want to drink lighter should add hot water after brewing 150cc.

After brewing, let the coffee powder continue to soak in the cup-

Many people will think that the longer the coffee is soaked, the stronger the coffee will be. In fact, this is true, but during soaking, the more caffeine will be released, and the problem of over-quenching will occur. Excessive quenching will release the bitterness, astringency and bad smell in the coffee.

This is why different brewing methods will grind coffee of different thickness. the thicker the grain, the smaller the surface area, so that it can withstand brewing for a long time.

Throw the earbag directly into the cup-

It is convenient to use the earbag as a tea bag, but before the hot water touches the coffee powder, the temperature has dropped a lot, which will make the coffee insufficient.

Repeated brewing-

Brewed coffee can not be brewed again, or you can only get bad and harmful coffee.

Then how to soak the earbag? I'll tell you step by step.

(hanging earbags is for convenience. Sometimes because of environmental factors, if certain conditions can't be achieved, just be casual! )

The correct way to brew:

Warm cup-

Get the cup ready and pour in some hot water cups first. The effect is that the brewed coffee will not cool down too fast. As the temperature drops, the flavor of the coffee will change all the time. If you cool down too fast, you will miss out on many different tastes.

Water temperature-

The temperature of the brewed water is very important. It is recommended that the temperature be between 85 and 90 degrees. If the brewed coffee is too bitter, try to lower the water temperature. On the contrary, if it is too light or too astringent, it can increase the water temperature, but the range should still be between 85 and 90 degrees.

Hang it up! -

First shake the earbag slightly to let the coffee powder fall to avoid the coffee powder being scattered when it is torn open, then pour out the hot water from the cup, tear open the seal on the earbag, extend the paper ears on both sides, and shake so that the coffee powder is smooth, and finally hang to the edge of the cup.

Pre-wetting-

The amount of water injected for the first time should be just enough to soak the coffee powder, too much or too little will affect the flavor, and then wait 20 seconds to let the coffee powder fully absorb water. The thickness of the coffee can be adjusted by pre-wetting time, which can be extended to 40 seconds to get stronger coffee.

Water injection-

The second injection of water can be poured to the filter paper eight full, it is best to use a slender flow, wait until the flow down to the pre-wet height, you can continue to fill water to the full, until quenching out of 150 to 180cc so far, once quenching is finished, do not need to wait for all the water in the filter paper to flow out, just throw it away.

Enjoy your coffee!

Remember that with the difference of temperature, you can taste different flavors.
