When it comes to coffee beans, they can be divided into light roasting, medium roasting and heavy roasting. Coffee cherries are actually like fruits. Good coffee beans have fruity, floral, cocoa, nutty flavors, etc., usually the lighter the roast and the more sour they are, the more they can drink the essence of the coffee beans; on the contrary, the heavier the roast, the more bitter. As far as brewing is concerned, different brewing methods, different extraction methods and time, should be given different thickness of grinding, usually the shorter the extraction time, the finer the coffee powder should be ground, and it is easier to extract bitterness.

The world of coffee is fascinating, whether it is aroma, coffee beans, origin, hand-brewing process, is a knowledge. Many people who like to drink coffee must be infatuated with the magic drink of "hand-made coffee", because everyone has a different taste, so they get a unique and personal style. As long as you have the filter paper, filter cup and hand pot ready, you can easily make a good cup of coffee.

Hand-brewed coffee utensils

Hand punch: there are hand punch pots of all sizes and materials on the market, which can be selected according to your needs. It is the size of the spout that will affect the cooking results, because it is related to the amount of water. Beginners are generally advised to use a small pot, which is easier to control. In addition, each hand punch pot is suitable for different heating methods (induction cooker or gas stove), so you should pay special attention when buying it.

Filter cup: the size and material of the filter cup are also different, mainly divided into three shapes: fan-shaped, tapered and wavy filter cup. The size of the filter diameter at the bottom of the filter cup will affect the flow rate of coffee extraction, and then affect the flavor of coffee. The fan-shaped filter cup has the advantages of small filter diameter, slow flow rate and mellow taste; the cone-shaped filter cup has large filter diameter, fast flow rate and light taste; the wavy filter cup has a flat bottom with special wave filter paper, which makes the coffee taste the most uniform. What is more special is the metal filter cup, which does not need to be used with filter paper, which can retain more coffee oil and taste thicker, but some finer coffee powder may not be filtered out. The coffee brewed from the stainless steel filter cup is somewhat different from the filter paper. It is relatively thick, round and full of grease. It can retain more flavor and richer layers of beans that are weak in taste, and fully present the flavor of the coffee fruit.

Filter paper: different filter cups have their own suitable filter paper. Filter paper can absorb some of the smell and oil of coffee, and unbleached filter paper may have some paper smell.

Bean grinder: freshly ground coffee is the freshest, and the particle size and evenness of coffee powder are also the key to affect the flavor of hand-brewed coffee. The powder particles suitable for hand-brewed coffee are about the size of No. 2 sugar. The more uniform the particles are, the better the taste of the brewed coffee is.

Coffee pot and coffee cup: used to hold filtered coffee, it is best to heat it up to maintain the coffee temperature.

Assistive devices: electronic scales, thermometers and timers can make the coffee brewing process more accurate.

In fact, the three key points of hand-made coffee are:

1. Be sure to freshly grind freshly baked high-quality coffee powder, which is the key to blistering, otherwise you'll see a big pit when you rush. Stew enough to let the water flow through smoothly.

two。 Hand flushing must be well controlled, do not rush onto the filter paper.

3. Control the water temperature, the water temperature is actually related to the baking degree of beans, but if the water temperature is lower than 85 degrees, the powder will not fully soak.
