Want to make your own coffee at home? As long as you get a few basic points right, it's not hard to make a good cup of coffee.

Point 1 appropriate ratio of coffee powder to water

Our recommended ratio is about 1:10, that is, 18g of coffee powder and 180ml of brewed coffee.

Point 2 the thickness of coffee grinding

The longer the coffee powder is soaked in water, the thicker the coffee powder should be ground. For example, the coffee powder in the French filter pressure pot has longer contact with hot water than the mocha pot, so the coffee powder should be thicker.

Point 3 suitable temperature of cooking water

Coffee is suitable for brewing at a temperature of about 88-92 degrees. The higher the temperature is, the easier it is to extract the aroma of coffee, but it is also easy to extract bitter woody flavor, so when the extracted coffee has a bitter taste, you might as well lower the temperature of the brewed water and try again.

Point 4 stir appropriately

More coffee aromas can be extracted by stirring properly, but don't stir too much and extract too much.

In addition, the lighter roasted coffee beans are not easy to extract because of their compact structure, so they can be cooked in more stringent ways, such as higher cooking temperature, higher extraction pressure (9 atmospheric pressure of Italian coffee machine) and fine grinding.

The following methods of extracting coffee tools are the ideal data for everyone to brew after continuous testing and tasting of Qianjie Coffee. If you have the following tools, you can also follow the brewing steps to try at home.

Cooking tool hand flushing pot Pour-over

18g coffee powder

Grinding scale moderate grinding

Injection water temperature 90 degrees C

Injected water quantity 210ml

Coffee water quantity 180ml

None of stirring times

Prepreg time 30 seconds

Total time 2 minutes

Preparation phase:

Step 1

Prepare a pot of hot water about 90 degrees C, the amount of water is about 400ml.

Step 2

Hang the filter cup on the mug, then fold the filter paper and put it into the filter cup.

Step 3

Pour about half of the hot water around the filter paper to rinse the filter paper in advance. This action removes the pulp smell of the filter paper and warms your mug in advance.

Step 4

Fresh coffee beans are now ground into powder, with a grinding scale of about medium grinding and about the size of fine granulated sugar.

Step 5

Pour out the water from the filter paper and pour the ground powder into the filter paper.

Cooking stage:

Step 1

For the first time, the water of 30ml is injected from the center of the coffee powder layer, and then steamed for about 30 seconds, at this time the coffee powder will absorb water and expand into a hill.

Step 2

The second water injection starts from the center of the coffee powder and injects water in a clockwise spiral way. when injecting water, you should be careful not to touch the filter paper directly, because the hot water will flow directly from both sides and will not pass through the coffee powder layer.

Step 3

The whole brewing process takes about two to two and a half minutes. When the mug is full, remove the filter paper and start enjoying your coffee.
