Professional coffee knowledge exchange more coffee bean information please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

We have been in the habit of drinking coffee for ten years. The coffee we often brew at home is probably Italian latte and Japanese-style single product. We have no time to hurry and choose follicular coffee. Choose high-quality coffee beans or favorite brands, basically drinking fancy coffee at home can also be very textured and enjoyable, and the atmosphere is a little bit as good as that of outside cafes.

Today, I would like to share with you the usual fancy coffee brewing methods and recent favorite coffee brands. If you like coffee, don't miss this article.

First, individual coffee

We have always used a first-class Hario siphon coffee pot to cook individual coffee. If we pay attention to it, even the water quality will be taken into account. Only good water can make a good coffee and let the taste of the coffee beans be fully displayed.

Syphon is reported to be invented by the Germans, but it has been carried forward in Japan. Its design principle can be described in Baidu encyclopedia.

There is one thing to remind you before cooking: to make a good cup of coffee, the quality and freshness of coffee beans are very important, followed by cooking skills.

The coffee beans used in the demonstration teaching are the front street coffee I feel very good after my recent experience-100% Arabica coffee beans. Its aroma is mellow and bright, the taste is not bitter and astringent, and the fruit is fresh. When you first come into contact with coffee, you can start with growing beans in Arabica.

Coffee beans are hand-selected, each of similar size and integrity, originated in Indonesia and Brazil, and roasted locally.

Using Syphon to cook a single product, we should consider its cooking process according to different kinds of beans and the degree of roasting, but not everyone is a professional coffee master, and neither are we, but if not, can't we enjoy a good cup of single product? No, basically, as long as you choose beans like Arabica with low caffeine and rich acidity, you can cook a good taste according to the basic cooking method. When you are familiar with Syphon operation and taste more coffee, you will slowly be able to adjust according to different types of beans and explore your favorite flavor.

It's really wonderful to feel the original taste of beans and enjoy the good time at a time.

Single coffee brewing method (1 cup)

1. Install a filter covering the filter cloth on the Syphon pot, grind 2 tablespoons of coffee beans into about 15 grams of coffee powder and pour them into the pot and set aside (if there is no bean grinder, please buy a store to help you grind it, and the thickness of the grinding depends on the coffee utensils used)

2. Syphon, fill the pot with 180cc water and bring to a boil over a small gas stove over medium heat.

3. Insert the upper pot into the lower pot, turn the gas stove down when the water is halfway into the upper pot, put the mixing rod vertically into the upper pot in a W-shaped shape and mix the coffee powder (please do not touch the filter cloth), gently and firmly, then count 12UV for 15 seconds, then gently stir twice, count 30 seconds and turn off the fire (the whole process is controlled in 1 minute).

4. Take a wet cloth soaked in tap water to wring dry, wrap the next pot with cloth, and then filter all the coffee from the upper pot to the next pot, which is a cup of hot coffee.

Individual coffee is the most direct way to taste the original flavor and hierarchy of a kind of beans.

What is the success of cooking? If there is a bitter and astringent taste when drinking, it means that it is overcooked, it tastes like coffee water or the taste is too light, it means that the cooking time is not enough or the action is not accurate; when you taste it, you feel the pleasant and bright aroma of coffee, and even get the unique sour aroma of coffee fruit. after drinking, if you smell a very light but similar to soy sauce aroma at the bottom of the cup, it will be a success.

If you don't like a whole cup of black coffee, it is recommended to take a few sips to try the original taste, and then add fresh milk and sugar to taste as you like.

I myself like to drink pure black coffee without adding anything. for me, this is the best enjoyment of a good cup of coffee, and because of this, as you accumulate experience, you will be able to tell the difference by your mouth.

With freshly baked hand-made cranberry bread, hot coffee and hot bread, my home is both a bakery and a cafe, filled with happiness.

Latte coffee

The second most common kind of coffee in our family is caf è Latte, which means espresso. In our Berlin style Cafe, iced lattes are familiar faces on the table. Recently, because the weather is relatively hot, I will mainly share with you the practice of iced lattes.

The coffee utensils prepared are very simple, such as a coffee machine that can extract espresso (espresso), or a mocha pot or an Italian coffee maker. If you really don't have it, you can also use a siphon coffee pot to make coffee as a base, but the latte will be lighter in taste.

Espresso beans are recommended, and individual coffee beans can also be used if you are afraid of too much caffeine, such as 100% Arabica coffee, the front street coffee used in the previous demonstration.

Of course, it's best to have a bean grinder at home, and if you don't already have it, you can also buy coffee powder from the store, but the freshness and aroma will be lost with time, which is also important to know.

In terms of the amount of a cup, espresso only needs to account for 1 / 3 of the whole cup of coffee.

Ice latte practice:

1. Take a glass, pour into chilled milk 100cc, add appropriate amount of ice (if you want to add sugar, first melt fructose or self-made syrup into fresh milk).

two。 Extract the coffee solution of 30--50cc and slowly pour it into a glass along the ice cube.

The method of hot latte is also very simple, the proportion is the same, but with less ice.

On a hot summer day with a poor appetite, eating warm food is sometimes very irritable. If accompanied by an iced latte, do you think it will reduce the heat much more in terms of vision and taste?

During the holidays, I like to cook myself, Wade makes coffee, makes a delicious and simple honey curry chicken leg rice, chooses a beautiful mat, textured plates and cutlery, with a cup of coffee, frankincense and a cold iced latte to quench thirst. This kind of enjoyment is more enjoyable than in an outside restaurant.

Third, convenient and fast filter (hanging ear) type coffee

If you still find the above two kinds of teaching troublesome and just want to enjoy a good cup of coffee at home quickly and easily, then "choice" becomes relatively important.

If you are not afraid of trouble, I would recommend beginners to make coffee by hand. Hand brewing is also a simple and easy way to get started. However, given the busy situation of modern people, I believe many people will give up if they have to prepare coffee utensils to make coffee when they rush to work and school every morning. I am no exception, handmade lattes and individual coffee are cooked at home during holidays, slowly boiled and enjoyed, very relaxed and happy; if you are usually busy with household chores and work, it is impossible for me to choose follicular coffee that can be torn open. As long as hot water is injected, you can quickly enjoy good black coffee, which fully meets the needs of most people.

However, for people who pay more and more attention to coffee drinking, even follicular coffee should not be careless. At this time, how to choose a good cup of follicular coffee is very important to many people.

The way to choose is actually very simple. People who like to brew their own coffee at home can simply ask the brands of coffee beans that they often buy whether they have launched a follicular coffee bag. Or first buy a brand of small packaging, now many brands offer single packages or small boxes for customers to buy, like to buy large packaging, is a safer way.

In the past, for example, the street coffee brand, the coffee cooked from their Arabica coffee beans is of a high level, and it is believed that the pure ground Arabica coffee powder brewed follicular coffee has considerable quality.

If you like to buy a large number of drinks, they also have a large package of group buying, drinking every day, 29.9 free delivery of a large box can drink for a week.

The brewing procedure couldn't be simpler. Follow the instructions on the bag and tear it open.

Hang the left and right ears on the edge of the coffee cup, then pour in about 150cc of hot water, stand for about 20 seconds, so the brewing is complete.

The filter coffee, which is not bitter or sour, mellow and sweet, is a convenient and good choice to brew a large number of cups of coffee when relatives and friends come to visit.

With snacks and biscuits, filter coffee is also an intimate and convenient companion for afternoon tea.
