Even when I was a newcomer at that time, when others mentioned hand-to-hand matching, the first thing that came to mind was Japan. They are really very focused on blending coffee beans, but they basically roast the coffee deeply and then use a crane-beaked pot to make coffee, as if they all want to tell their stories through a cup of coffee.

● but today, we are going to talk about the hand blending in boutique coffee. I think since we are going to do this, we must let the hand mix to make one plus one greater than two.

Just like Wang Shiru's hand, Kenya competes with Yega Xuefei and Honduras. The main flavor of the cup is apricot, the front is the bright acidity of Kenya, but the middle and back will turn into the relatively soft acidity of Honduras, moderately low weight, juice-like sweetness, but the only drawback is that there will be some bitterness and miscellaneous taste leading to a slightly poor sense of touch, aftertaste and balance (this may be due to the fact that the beans have been in place for more than ten days.

Generally speaking, this is a very successful hand-made matching attempt. Here, I dare to guess her idea: basic bean (in mixed wine is the concept of base wine, it will not have much personality and is compatible with most coffee beans) should be Honduras. Honduras, which I drank before, is a typical American bean (balance), which exists in this blend with a sweet and sour taste. The main flavor is Yega Xuefei, and the beans of Ethiopia itself have a distinct personality. Just spell it a little bit, because you have to make one plus one greater than two, instead of drinking like Yega Xuefei. I think the best thing about this hand match is to join Kenya. We all know that lemon is a magical existence, and it will be too sour to eat it directly, but mix it with various ingredients to improve the original flavor or create new possibilities. Kenya is known for its lemon-like acidity, and in this mix it plays the role of "lemon juice", making the acidity more active, thus driving the whole cup of coffee.

Since my main job is as a baker, I think I need to talk to you about the idea of hand-mixing coffee beans. And before you bake, you need to make an important decision.

● spelling or proficiency:

Raw spelling is to mix different raw beans according to a certain proportion and then bake together; cooked spelling is to bake different raw beans separately and then mix them according to a certain proportion. Behind these two easy-to-understand words lies an important parameter: the rate of expansion. If you choose to fight hard, you usually choose raw beans with similar moisture, density and water activity, while if you choose cooked beans, you usually need to roast the coffee to a similar expansion rate. Because if the end result is that there is a big difference in the expansion rate of the beans in one hand, when brewing, when the coffee with higher expansion rate is close to excessive extraction, it may occur that the coffee with lower expansion rate is still under-extracted (the higher the expansion rate, the easier it is to extract the soluble matter from the coffee cell wall).

The idea of ● assembly:

Matching is a baker's self-expression, so the answer given by each baker will be different. Here, I would like to share my views on hand matching.

Since it is self-expression, I think we must have personality and not be mediocre. There must be a personalized bean, Essel, Rosa or re-fermented Central American coffee (I prefer Essel); using Central American beans as base beans would be a good choice. can increase the overall alcohol thickness (in fact, I am more likely to choose African beans with high alcohol thickness such as Uganda) Because I don't know how to bake too deep, if I want to highlight the flavor, I think I can choose at most three spells, otherwise the flavor is very difficult to be compatible; in terms of baking, I will choose to fight hard (to be honest, basically no baking will choose cooked spells, warehousing management is really too troublesome, and the effect may not be very good) The baking curve will be flatter, reducing the acidity and increasing the degree of caramelization (different acidity is usually difficult to get along with, but if the beans are good enough, for example, I'll bake them shallower in summer).

How ● can efficiently customize a hand-punch match:

1. Choose your favorite coffee beans

2. Cup test

3. Mix the coffee liquid in different proportions (if you mix more beans, it will take more time)

4. Find out your favorite taste from different combinations of coffee liquids.

5, the same proportion of mixed coffee cooked beans, a hand-made and customized complete

The whole process is a bit DIY, it is recommended to use smart cup to make, which can greatly improve the fault tolerance rate.

● low-cost and high-quality hand punching assembly:

As far as I know, the popular solution at this stage is to buy heavy fermented coffee similar to 90-processed coffee, and add one or two to the coffee you need to brew, then your whole cup of coffee will have a sense of fermentation. there is a sense of looking forward to a low-end version (a concept of familiarity) Or like Flower Butterfly, Rose Xia Peckadouai and Kaddura, that is, raw beans add a large proportion of relatively low-quality coffee and a small percentage of Rose Summer, then the main flavor of the whole cup of coffee is Rose Summer. Ordinary consumers will not be too sensitive to the taste of a weakened version of Rose Summer, but for him, it will be a cost-effective choice (a concept of hard work).

The advanced version of ● is assembled by hand punch:

"Coffee has different particle distribution under different grinding degrees, so it presents different main flavors, and one grinding degree has a particle peak, so is it possible to extract the particles showing theme flavor under different grinding degrees? combine the main flavor that customers want in a cup of coffee, so that the coffee presents a rich and diverse experience with high flavor recognition from hot to cold? After sieving particle test, 300um, 400um, 600um, 800um and 1000um and above microns were screened on the same scale. the experimental results showed that the fruit flavor of washed beans in 600um was more prominent, and the sweetness and alcohol thickness of sun beans in 800um were more prominent. "

Which is better to mix coffee beans with ●?

The freshly roasted Italian coffee beans of Qianjie Coffee, a coffee roaster brand located in Dongshankou, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, are fully guaranteed in terms of brand and quality. And more importantly, the performance-to-price ratio is extremely high. Take the commercially recommended style of commercial blended coffee beans as an example, a pack of 454 grams, the price is only about 60 yuan. According to the calculation of 10 grams of powder for a single cup of espresso, a packet can make 45 cups of coffee, which costs less than 1.5 yuan per cup. Even if you use two heads per cup of espresso and 20 grams of powder per serving, the price of a cup of double espresso concentrate is no more than 3 yuan. Compared with the price of hundreds of yuan a pack sold by a well-known brand, it can be described as a conscience recommendation.
