Is hand brewing coffee suitable for making lattes? Can I add milk to my hand coffee?

The world of coffee is full of personal subjective consciousness and hobby, and the process and result are not absolute, so OK as long as you like it!

However, the coffee made by hand is different from that of espresso.

Espresso is espresso. Caffeine is extracted quickly under high pressure.

And the coffee usually comes with a thick crema.

While hand-made coffee is more like filter coffee.

Caffeine is precipitated at the temperature of hot water

The strength of coffee is quite different from that of espresso.

If you don't stick to latte,

It's OK to make coffee by hand and add some milk (but it tastes completely different from latte)

To put it simply, with filter coffee and milk, the coffee will be thinner (more water).

And espresso with milk will have a strong flavor of milk and coffee.

Have you often received such questions recently?

Here are some simple key ways to explain as follows:

[[1. Grinding * finer grinding * *:]

Finer coffee grinding to achieve a more complete extraction (about 2.5 degrees for Pegasus 2muri)

[[2. Coffee / water ratio is 1: 10 coffee / water]]

Start to brew black coffee by hand (the ratio of coffee powder to hand is around 1:10-1:11), in other words, 10 grams of coffee powder will pour out about 100 Murray 110 grams of black coffee.

[3. Complete slow water injection extraction * *]

In the way of hand flushing, the water should be injected more slowly, and the temperature of about 90 degrees C should not be washed too fast. It is OK to flush two or three times.

[[4. Mix the same amount of fresh milk as black coffee * *]]

The proportion of milk added is about the same as that of black coffee, for example, 100 grams of black coffee is added with about 100 grams of fresh milk (can be adjusted according to personal preference)
