How to make a delicious cup of hand-made coffee?

With the increasing development of the coffee industry, we can see one unique coffee shop after another on the streets and alleys.

But I believe that many people are quite strange to "single coffee". As soon as they get to the cafe, they think of coffee such as cappuccino and latte, which is based on espresso with different densities of milk foam.

What we are going to introduce today is the hand brewing utensils that need to be used to brew "single bean" coffee in a small pot.

First of all, let's introduce the "fine-mouthed pot"

What is different from the ordinary kettle is that the spout is longer and thinner (nonsense)

But there are also many kinds of small pots, such as:

# Court pot

The spout of the palace pot is longer than that of the ordinary hand pot, so that the position of the spout can be closer to the coffee powder when brewing, so it is a better hand pot.

# Crane mouth pot

The spout of the crane spout is wide and short, which requires a relatively high technical level, so it is suitable for people who are already quite skilled in hand punching.

But today we introduce a general hand-punching pot in between the two.

Let's look at the picture again.

The pot on the left is taller and thinner.

The pot on the right is shorter and fatter.

The tall and thin pot can hold less water capacity, but the relative weight is lighter and the width of the kettle body is less so that the impulse of the current is not easy to be too large. (most suitable for beginners)

The short and fat pot can hold more water capacity, the relative weight is heavier, the kettle body is wider, the impulse of the water is larger, and the water is easy to sway left and right, resulting in easy to drive the kettle body to shake when cooking. (suitable for a little bit

Micro-advanced, or used by people with stable hands).

Second, what we will see next is the "electronic thermometer"

One of the most important elements of brewing coffee is the "water temperature".

In a nutshell, the water temperature generally depends on the degree of roasting of coffee beans.

Generally speaking, the temperature range of hand-brewed coffee is about "85 degrees-95 degrees".

If the water temperature is too high, it is easy to have bitter and astringent taste.

If the water temperature is too low, it is easy to taste the sour taste.

Bean grinder

If you generally want to cook at home, or if you don't supply so much to the guests, then the bean grinder can choose a smaller machine.

However, it is recommended that regardless of any brewing method, choose a coffee machine that can adjust the blade scale as far as possible.

"this model is Pegasus 600N."

The thickness of bean grinding is closely related to the water temperature, the size of the water column, the height of the spout and powder, which will be discussed in future articles.

Let's take a look at the construction of the bean grinder.

The following two pictures show the knob of the bean grinder to adjust the blade scale.

The smaller the number, the finer the powder. We can see that there are three diagrams on the knob, the middle one is of medium thickness, and the picture shows the hand filter cup.

It means that the recommended scale for hand-brewed coffee is about 4, but it should be adjusted according to other factors.

The blade of the bean grinder must be careful not to allow foreign bodies to enter. Usually, you must install the funnel above the blade hole.

The fuse of the bean grinder, if one day there is no problem with the power supply, but how can not be opened, it is possible that the fuse burned out!

For the powder outlet of the bean grinder, try to use a small brush to brush the remaining powder into the powder collection container after grinding the beans, so as not to reduce the amount of powder.

Liam usually likes to use wine cups to hold coffee powder.

Filter cup and coffee pot

The filter cup used by Liam is conical, and there is another kind of trapezoidal filter cup on the market.

The material of filter cup: generally divided into resin and ceramic, which one to use depends on your personal preference!

If the ceramic filter cup has the action of warm filter cup and coffee pot, the ceramic filter cup will slow down the temperature.

Fifth, filter paper

Today, we first introduce the filter paper used in the conical filter cup.

Generally speaking, when the filter paper is stretched out directly and put into the filter cup, it usually feels a little different in size, so you can fold it up where there is a horizontal grain on the edge.

Fold it up and then open it into the filter cup, the tightness will be improved a lot.

These are the general equipment needed to brew a cup of "hand-made single item".

Finally, let's take a group photo of Say Cheese--.

Please look forward to the next article "how to make hand-made Coffee"!

* I would like to share with you that the boiling kettle usually used by Liam

The materials of this brand are all made of "enamel". The texture and durability of this brand are better than those of ordinary kettle.
