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.

[full mark brewing guide: hand-made coffee]

Step 1: fold the filter paper and put it into the filter cup.

Step 2: rinse the filter paper with hot water, just let the filter paper wet completely, so as to remove the smell of the filter paper. (although there is only a little water to wash the filter paper, don't forget to pour it out first and then carry out subsequent actions.)

Step 3: pour in the coffee powder, distribute it evenly, and rub a small hole with your little finger in the center.

Step 4: with 87 to 92 degrees hot water, first pour some hot water into the small hole, then slowly spread to the surrounding coffee powder clockwise or counterclockwise, until the water is dripping and steam for 30 seconds. (steaming allows coffee powder to inhale hot water and discharge carbon dioxide, which is helpful for the extraction of subsequent aromatic substances.)

Step 5: when steaming, the coffee powder will swell (the fresher the coffee powder is, the more it will bulge), until the bulge is about to collapse, it can be injected with hot water.

Step 6: when flushing by hand, take the middle as the center and slowly spread out in a circle, so that the hot water can be diffused horizontally in the coffee powder to extract rich coffee flavor. (do not rush directly to the outermost ring when making a circle with your hand, which will cause the hot water to fall directly along the edge of the filter paper cup, not only without extraction, but will dilute the coffee concentration.)

Step 7: raise the pot slightly before the end of the hand, shake the pot in the middle of the coffee powder, increase the brewing pressure, stir the coffee powder with hot water pressure, and do the final extraction before the end.

Step 8: collect the water and let the water in the filter paper drip slowly. After dripping to the coffee in the proportion of powdered water you like, you can pick it up and enjoy it.

How to choose filter paper and filter cup? ]

Flannel can extract more aromatic substances

(1) Coffee filter paper is sold in many places. It is recommended to choose unbleached brown filter paper and wash it slightly with hot water before brewing. UCC, Tiamo, Kalita, Hario, pearl horse and other brands are the love of many coffee fans.

(2) generally speaking, the filter cup can be divided into two types: cone-shaped filter cup and ladder-shaped filter cup. the flow rate of cone-shaped filter cup is fast and the extraction time is short, so it needs better technology to control. Beginners, it is suggested that the ladder-shaped filter cup should be used to brew first. Hario, Kalita and Tiamo are all good brands.

(3) apart from the filter paper, there are metal strainer and flannel to choose from. The metal filter can flush out the oil of the coffee, and the flannel filter cloth can extract more aromatic substances because it has been filtered for a long time.
