Several methods of brewing coffee

1. Filter bag brewing method

The advantage of using a filter bag is that it can brew a lot of coffee at a time, but brewing and cleaning the filter bag is quite time consuming.

Recipe: Coffee for three

Blanch the brewing coffee, then add a long, thin mouth of water to 360 c. water and heat to a boil.

Wash the filter bag with warm water and then wring it dry (but do not use too much force to avoid messy), put in 30 grams of coffee powder and gently flatten it, do not press hard, drill a center point on the coffee powder with a spoon.

The first injection of water should be slowly injected into the center of the coffee powder, coffee powder due to absorption of water and a large expansion. When the filter bag drops one or two drops of water, it should stop watering. The idea is to let the coffee powder fully soak.

After about 20 seconds, slowly inject boiling water from the center point outward in a spiral shape, and then inject it inward from the outside. Pay attention to the consistent amount of water and do not interrupt it. At this point the coffee powder will have a beautiful fine foam and puff up.

Do not drip the filtered coffee to the last drop, and discard it with a little boiling water left in the filter paper. If all drops are finished, there will be impurities or impurities.

If the temperature of the filtered coffee drops, the coffee can be heated to about 88 degrees by fire. Be careful not to let the coffee boil.

Notes:

Need to take into account the length of brewing time and the allocation of boiled water.

Considering the length of brewing time and the allocation of boiled water.

The new filter bag used for the first time should be boiled in hot water for five or six minutes together with the used coffee powder before use. The service life of the filter bag is about half a year.

After use, put it into a pot of water for a while, use high temperature to dissolve the coffee fat, or rinse with lemonade, but never use detergent. Because no matter how you rinse with water, the detergent and its taste will remain on the filter bag, affecting the flavor of the coffee.

The cleaned filter bag will adhere to coffee fat, so it is best to soak in water (need to change water every day) or store in the refrigerator to avoid scale caused by cloth clogging and odor due to coffee fat oxidation.

II. Siphon (distillation) boiling method

It consists of two spherical glasses arranged up and down, widely used in families, hotels, coffee shops, while enjoying the brewing process while enjoying the fun of coffee this is the greatest charm.

Recipe: Coffee for two (three and so on)

Pour boiling water 240CC into a spherical beaker, wipe the water droplets off the outside, and heat with an alcohol lamp.

Put a suede filter cloth on the bottom of the funnel shaped extraction cup, pull the spring to the front end of the siphon to fix it, and put 20 grams of coffee powder (the amount can be increased or decreased according to personal taste) into the extraction cup.

When boiling water rises to the extraction cup, stir the coffee powder evenly with a bamboo ladle to release the ingredients of the coffee powder completely. Care should be taken to avoid excessive agitation causing leakage.

After about 20 to 30 seconds, the coffee will flow from the filter cloth to the beaker. After the coffee in the cup has run down, it can be removed.

Gently shake the beaker to make the coffee liquid uniform, 87 degrees is the ideal drinking temperature, you can pour into the coffee cup to enjoy.

Precautions;

Repeated brewing of coffee should be avoided, because the second brewing can only get smoky brown water instead of coffee

When the beaker is at a high temperature, it should be avoided from cracking due to contact with cold water, and it should be noted that when there is no water or coffee in the cup, do not ignite and bake to prevent cracking.

Filter cloth should be fully cleaned after use and kept in water or refrigerator to avoid oily smell after drying.

Because the beaker mouth is very small, clean up the key is to use immediately after brewing with warm water or lemonade, coffee oil can be completely washed away, and placed cool out to dry.
