Step1. Select coffee beans

Coffee beans are simply divided into light roasting, medium roasting and heavy roasting. Coffee cherries are actually like fruit. Good coffee beans have aromas of fruit, flowers, cocoa, nuts, etc., usually the lighter the roast, the more sour, the more they can drink the essence of coffee beans; on the contrary, the heavier the roast, the more bitter the taste is. But some people just like the strong smell of coffee after re-roasting, especially coffee fans who have been drinking coffee for decades.

CAF É note

1. After coffee grinding, the contact area with the air becomes larger, so it is easy to oxidize and affect the flavor. Grinding before brewing is definitely the key to making good coffee. Even using a cheap hand grinder is better than buying ground coffee powder directly from the store.

two。 In order to avoid peculiar smell, the bean grinder should wipe the blade machine with a wet cloth every time it is used. When selecting a bean grinder, please choose those who grind the particles evenly. If the thickness is uneven, you can sift through the problem and improve the purity of the coffee.

When you ask coffee workers about the temperature of the water, you often get strange numbers such as 92 degrees and 87 degrees. Every coffee worker has his or her favorite water temperature, which is usually adjusted according to the taste.
