1. When brewing coffee with a coffee machine, what should be the ratio of the capacity of water to that of coffee powder?

2. what should be the proportion of brewed coffee to cream and sugar? huh?

1. What kind of coffee machine is it? Italian coffee machine, American drip coffee machine, or automatic coffee machine? Because different coffee opportunities have different possibilities, generally speaking, as long as it is cooked by an automatic coffee machine, if you want to brew a single black coffee, the grinding scale of coffee beans should be 2.5-3. If you want an espresso "cappuccino or latte", it is more appropriate to set the coffee bean grinding scale to No. 1. The ratio of water to coffee powder: if one person shares about 10 grams of coffee powder with 150cc water, two shares is 20g/300cc water, but in fact, the machine will have an error rate, so it is different from hand-brewing or siphon cooking.

two。 If you take my advice, you don't need to add cream and sugar to the coffee brewed with good cooking methods, especially for health reasons. Kafen is originally weakly alkaline and has the function of neutralizing stomach acid to promote metabolism in the new city. The additives will turn into weak acidity, which is not good.

Many people will be in a bit of a hurry when they use the bean grinder for the first time, especially when they see that the coffee scale can't tell whether the number is big or thin. Today, the editor will come to the popular science. The general bean grinder, the smaller the number is, the finer the particles are. Although it is sometimes suggested on the scale that the American coffee machine should use the 12 scale, the 12 scale is too large, and the flavor of the brewed coffee is light and sour. In his personal coffee-making experience, the American coffee maker suggests grinding a 4-to-5 scale is enough, and the coffee tastes strong. If you want to drink more bitterness, you can grind it down a little bit.

Different coffee machines should use different grinding degrees.

Although theoretically, the finer the coffee beans are ground, the easier the antioxidants will dissolve, but in practice, it is still necessary to consider the way of brewing coffee and the length of brewing time to adjust a more suitable degree of grinding.

If the grinding is too fine, the water and the coffee powder surface contact too much, easy to extract too many impurities and bitter taste, but if the grinding is too rough, gouache contact is not enough, you will not be able to brew the aroma of coffee.

Therefore, generally speaking, the powder particles from fine to coarse, corresponding to the appropriate coffee machine can be divided into several types:

● espresso grinding (espresso grind): very fine particles, suitable for espresso machine.

● fine grinding (fine drind): suitable for mocha pot and hand dripping filter cup.

● grinding (medium grind): suitable for manual drip filter cup, American coffee pot, siphon pot.

● rough grinding (coarse grind): suitable for French filter kettle.

As for when to grind coffee to preserve the most complete nutrients? If time permits, "grinding and cooking" is the best, because once the coffee beans are ground, the speed of oxidation deterioration is accelerated, not only the antioxidants are decreasing, but also the flavor becomes worse.
