How to drink illy coffee powder?

Illy coffee powder is made from 100% Arabica coffee beans after baking, unlike instant coffee, which is concentrated and dried from boiled coffee and can be directly dissolved in water. Qianjie Coffee reminds you that illy coffee powder needs to be brewed with a filtering tool to separate the coffee grounds before drinking.

Can illy coffee powder be made by hand?

The invention of Illy coffee powder was originally designed to apply to automatic espresso machines. So that merchants can further save the step of grinding coffee powder in the convenient operation of automatic espresso extraction, and its grinding degree is more suitable for espresso machine.

In order to give espresso a mellow and full taste, illy usually roasts the beans until they are deeply roasted and then ground very fine to ensure that the coffee powder can be extracted quickly under pressurization to give a fuller taste.

Qianjie Coffee noticed that as more and more coffee brewing equipment was invented, the very fine ground coffee powder was not suitable for all brewing methods, so the degree of grinding became medium.

Therefore, it can be used in hand-brewed coffee, French pressure pot coffee, American coffee machine. If you use an espresso machine for extraction, you need to choose a coffee powder that specializes in espresso, which will be marked "Espresso/ espresso".

Hand coffee: need to buy filter cup, filter paper, kettle. Add 10-15g coffee powder to each brew, use a kettle to circle and inject 88 degrees hot water. Add the water slowly and don't let the coffee powder tumble excessively. Pour about 150-225g of hot water and remove the filter cup after passing through the coffee powder, so that there is a good cup of hand-brewed coffee.

American coffee machine: according to the recommended usage and operation of the American coffee machine, put in the appropriate coffee powder and press the switch, the machine will make coffee automatically.

French pressure pot: first pull out the pull rod of the French pressure kettle, then put in 15g coffee powder, then pour in 88 degrees hot water, and then put in the pull rod (do not press down first). After soaking for 3 minutes, press the lever again to pour out the coffee and taste it.
