The brewing method of coffee powder figure out how to brew coffee powder in one second.

When buying coffee for the first time, the first question we often face is: is it better to buy coffee beans or coffee powder?

Here is an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of coffee beans and coffee powder to make it easy for you to make a choice that suits you.

The advantages of coffee beans

1. Preserve the flavor of coffee completely

After roasting, raw beans begin a series of reactions to release gas, and the proper position to keep the gas molecules is the hole in the coffee bean. Preserving the original shape of coffee beans is naturally the best way to taste the complete flavor.

two。 Less susceptible to moisture or deterioration

Under the same preservation conditions, coffee beans can be preserved nearly twice as long as coffee powder, because large areas of powdered coffee can also make coffee more susceptible to moisture or spoilage.

3. It ensures the freshness and original taste of the coffee.

The freshness of coffee beans can be recognized in appearance, taste and taste, but it is more difficult to identify the freshness of coffee powder. Coffee beans should be preserved within 1 month.

The disadvantages of coffee beans

Only after buying coffee beans, you need more steps to grind the beans before making coffee. Most people buy coffee powder because they don't have time to grind beans, or they don't have a bean grinder at home. But it depends on personal convenience and choose coffee beans or coffee powder.

Is it an insurmountable concern that there is no bean grinder and no time? How much effort and time is it worth your attention and time for the good flavor of coffee? The question depends on how you choose.

The advantages of coffee powder

1. Convenient and time-saving

The biggest advantage of coffee powder is its convenience. Time is money, save time for slow grinding beans and increase the speed of brewing coffee. As long as you can ensure the freshness and quality of coffee powder, then buying coffee powder does enable you to enjoy good coffee as quickly as possible.

two。 The quality of ground beans

The main factors affecting coffee flavor are the particle size and evenness of coffee powder, while different ways of coffee brewing have their own suitable particle size of coffee powder. When you decide to buy coffee powder, it is recommended to choose the way of brewing coffee when ordering. We can grind you to the most suitable particle size of coffee powder and help you brew the best coffee flavor.

The disadvantages of coffee powder

1. It is more difficult to retain the flavor of coffee completely.

After the coffee beans are ground into powder, the flavor is easily lost. In order to try to taste the best flavor of coffee, we suggest you buy only 1 Murray coffee powder for 2 weeks at a time, so that you can enjoy the good taste of fresh coffee while seeking convenience.

two。 Coffee powder is more susceptible to moisture and deterioration.

In humid Taiwan, it takes a lot of effort to preserve coffee powder. It is best to use sealed cans to isolate moisture and air and maintain the quality of coffee powder. After the coffee bean is ground into coffee powder, its surface area increases exponentially, and the area of contact with air increases hundreds of times. If the diameter of the coffee powder is doubled, the volume of a single particle is reduced by 1 × 8, and the surface area of the corresponding total coffee powder is doubled. The extremely important acidic fat and volatile fat contained in roasted coffee beans will produce chemical changes as long as they come into contact with the air. Esters and aldolases in the aromatic compounds of coffee are most likely to volatilize, which will worsen the flavor of coffee. It is not only the volatile loss of aromatic substances, but also the smell of decay when the oil in the coffee is oxidized. Freshly ground coffee powder quickly absorbs moisture from the air, increases weight and reduces the effectiveness of extracting coffee ingredients, complicating matters under internal molecular pressure. So the coffee powder, which has been ground for a long time, is recommended as a "mummy fragment" of coffee, because the flavor is not as delicious as it used to be.

3. Coffee powder is difficult to ensure the freshness and original taste of coffee.

The shelf life of the ground coffee powder is shorter than 1 Murray for 2 weeks. It is recommended to buy coffee beans and use them right now, which is the best way. In addition, even when roasting coffee beans, the aromatic substances of coffee are easily distributed, and coffee beans that are well preserved for more than two to three weeks after roasting have gradually lost their freshness. Therefore, we should not only grind fresh, but also choose freshly roasted and well-preserved coffee beans as far as possible.
