Although hand-brewed coffee looks simple, if it is well controlled, you can definitely make a professional and authentic cup of coffee. In the following, based on my own experience, I will briefly explain the steps and matters needing attention in making coffee by hand. Finally, I would like to recommend some entry-level coffee beans for beginners.

A brief introduction to the method of making coffee by hand with ●:

1. Fold the filter paper into the brewing upper seat

2. Use the hot water in the hand-punching pot to cast filter paper in a clockwise circle for three purposes:

A. let the filter paper and the filter cup stick more closely and stick together to prevent the channel effect.

B, remove the smell of filter paper.

C, hot water will flow into the next pot, playing the role of warm pot, making the coffee more delicious.

3. Weigh 20g coffee powder, pour it into the grinder and grind it moderately. The finished particles are slightly thicker than salt.

4. Pour the water from the coffee pot, pour 15 grams of coffee powder into the middle of the filter paper, shake the filter cup horizontally, so that the coffee powder in the filter paper can be paved.

5. Put the upper seat of the powder back on the coffee pot, and then use the hot water in the hand flushing pot to draw a circle clockwise in the middle of the filter cup. Start the time when brewing, brew the coffee to 30g in 15 seconds, then stop the water injection, and steam to 25-30 seconds for the second time.

6, the second time of water injection is the same as before, draw a circle clockwise with the center of the filter cup, the water flow should not rush to the place where the coffee powder is connected with the filter paper, so as to avoid the channel effect, the coffee powder can be washed to the outermost circle and set aside a circle. Then brew it in the middle again and again.

7, 2 minutes-within 2 minutes and 30 seconds, pour the coffee to 230g and brew the coffee by hand.

This is the whole process of making coffee by hand, and it seems to be quite easy.

The key to ● hand flushing: steaming

If the initial step of hand flushing is less steaming, a large amount of hot water will follow a local and a small number of waterways through the powder layer, so that the dripping time will be longer, which may lead to excessive extraction, because the extraction time is longer and more substances are dissolved. the taste may be more sour and irritating, or full of miscellaneous taste. However, once you can pay attention to the action of steaming and then start formal water injection, the hot water can pass through the filter layer evenly composed of coffee powder, and then achieve the purpose of uniform extraction.

The producing areas of ● coffee beans are mainly divided into: Africa, Central and South America and Asia.

Coffee trees are only suitable for growing in the tropics or subtropics, so the zone between 25 degrees north and south latitudes is the most suitable for growing coffee. This coffee production zone is generally referred to as "coffee belt" or "coffee area". The ideal planting conditions for coffee trees are: a warm climate with a temperature between 15 ℃ and 25 ℃, and the annual rainfall must reach 1500mm--2000mm, and its rainfall time should match the flowering cycle of the coffee tree.

Of course, in addition to the coordination of seasons and rainfall, there should also be fertile soil. The most suitable soil for growing coffee should be fertile soil that is well drained and contains volcanic ash.

Coffee beans from three continents have their own characteristics. to put it simply, [African beans] have a rich flavor of tropical fruits, and [American beans] have a balanced flavor and taste, not only soft fruit acid, but also nuts and cocoa flavors. [Asian beans] prefer high-quality herbs, spices and caramel, with a thick texture.
