Knowledge of hand coffee brewing

Compared with the Italian coffee brewing method, hand-brewed coffee continues to have fresh hot water passing through the coffee powder in the process of extracting coffee, which is faster and can extract more substances from the surface of the coffee. But it is also because of its high speed and poor control, which may lead to excessive extraction. This is the same as frying fish in a pan over high heat. The fish has a large heating area, but if it is not well controlled, it may be scorched.

Although only a few minutes of the process, but including the flow rate of water, water temperature, coffee powder particles, hand-brewed coffee filter cup shape and so on will affect the final flavor of coffee, brewing needs to be fully studied and prepared. The flavor of coffee brewed under different conditions is different, and different kinds of beans are suitable for different conditions. Making coffee by hand is not only brewing coffee, but also an art worth ploughing. After more than 50 years of research and development, the Japanese have regarded hand-made coffee as a tea ceremony.

Starbucks also started selling hand-made coffee in 2015, calling it a collection store. Kaohsiung store opened on January 1, 2016, and it took a long time to find a time to sit down. After looking at the blackboard, there are seven kinds of beans to choose from, so I first chose a fancy-sounding "Costa Rican Candle Manor", which is mainly citrus and chocolate.

After looking at the menu, I found that you can make hot and cold ones, and you can also use filter pots, so I ordered a cup of Panama Carmen Manor made with filter pots, which not only filtered out the oil of coffee beans, but also had different levels of flavor between hot and cold, but this feeling was similar to the flavor of the small candle manor in Costa Rica, so I finally ordered a cold one.

It was decided that this cup of ice would be something special, so we ordered coffee beans made traditionally from Bali. For the first time, we tried to show them by hand with ice, and the taste was quite good, that is, after hand washing, we poured hot coffee into a glass full of ice cubes, but the strong feeling was almost the same. after drinking a little, the coffee master in a black apron, this is the title given to them by Starbucks, Koko.

Anyway, the coffee master asked me, what have you learned? My intuition is that I like this glass of ice best, but I can't tell why for the moment. Later, after careful taste, I found that the flavor was concentrated and compressed, and the caramel sucrose flavor sprang out after being unsealed in the mouth. I happily reported my experience to the coffee master, and he said, "Yes, the performance of this ice is better." Koko, I can be a coffee master, too.

Later, I found that the coffee master was sitting next to me. It was a break time, so I asked him which one of the seven models he liked. He said that all the seven models were all right this time. After being forced to ask, he said that he preferred the Vietnamese one. It turned out that Starbucks would change coffee beans every time, but later I was right to think about it. Today, each drink costs 180 yuan per cup, while other non-chain products of similar quality cost about 100 yuan, 150 yuan, and Starbucks will always be a little more expensive.
