If you want to make a good coffee, you don't need a tens of thousands of coffee machine or a thousands of bean grinders.

Hang-ear coffee as long as open the package, hot water can be washed down to drink, it is really super convenient (and if the packaging looks good, it is also very suitable for gift giving!

However, there is still a little knowledge about how to buy and make hanging-ear coffee.

The following let the editor take you to learn to simply use your ears to make a cup of coffee as good as a coffee shop. The key to buying hanging-ear coffee is to roast it freshly. After the coffee is ground into powder, it will begin to come into contact with the air, and its shelf life is shorter than that of unground ripe beans, and the best taste period is only about a month after baking. Choose hanging-ear coffee and be sure to choose freshly roasted coffee within a month. After more than a month, the flavor will go bad, and there will even be toxins that are not good for the body.

Here are three key points to make the coffee taste better:

1. Use a fine-mouthed pot instead of a drinking machine for water injection

Many people hang up their ears and take them directly to the drinking machine. As soon as the hot water is turned on, they rush down. But NO NO... . If you want to make the coffee taste better, the water should be soft and stable so as not to produce too much smell. As long as a simple small pot, you can flush out a steady flow of water, reduce the extraction of uncomfortable odor, and make the flavor better.

two。 Proportion is very important!

Many people will wonder, the powder-to-water ratio is 1:10, 1:15, 1:20... . Is there a difference? The editor's answer is: it's a big difference.

Too strong and too light will directly affect the taste of the drink.

It's the right thing to do in proportion... It is very important for coffee brewing!

It is suggested that when brewing hanging-ear coffee, a graduated measuring cup can be used instead of a general mug, so that the proportion can be controlled more accurately.

3. Use temperature metering to measure water temperature

Water temperature is one of the four variables of coffee extraction, and the water temperature will also directly affect the extraction.

Although hanging-ear coffee does not have to be made by hand, you must use several degrees of water for accuracy. But to make your ears taste better, the only advice for the water temperature is "no more than 95 ℃ & no less than 80 ℃."

The reason is that the water temperature is too high, it is easy to dissolve a large number of fiber parts of coffee powder, which will cause coffee to taste rustling and uncomfortable. To avoid excessive water temperature, electronic temperature measurement can be used to measure the water temperature. If there is no thermometer, generally speaking, after pouring hot water into a small pot and waiting for about 2 minutes, the water temperature will fall below 95 degrees Celsius. Of course, the temperature should not be too low, otherwise the coffee may be tasteless after brewing.

Grasping the above three key points, rushing out to hang up the ears, and upgrading the flavor to a level is not a problem.

If you like to add milk, the proportion of hanging ear cooking can be increased (to put it simply, it is a little thicker). Then in the ratio of coffee to milk at 1:8, plus warm milk (you can also beat the milk with a foam maker), it will become a delicious cup of coffee Ore / latte.

Qianjie recommended to hang ear cooking data:

Water temperature 90 ℃, in a shallow coffee cup, while brewing while soaking can increase the thickness of alcohol, 1:15 powder-to-water ratio, 10 grams of powder into 150g of water.
