Hand brewed coffee beans can be made into a mixed coffee? What does hand brewed coffee mean? How do I cook my hand-brewed beans?

In general, hand-mixed beans combine flavor, aroma and texture with one emphasis. From sweet, bitter or sour coffee, pick out the preferred flavor, and then mix according to a certain proportion; coffee flavor includes the aroma smelled before drinking, the aroma contained in the mouth, the aroma picked up from the throat after drinking, pick out the preferred aroma, so that the taste is rich, but still concentrated on a focus. After hand-brewed beans, you can emphasize the taste and aroma of coffee and meet the "exclusive coffee" that meets your preferences. First of all, before mixing beans in hand, we must first know how different varieties of coffee in the world have different flavors, and beans have different characteristics according to their origin.

Central and South America has mild flavors and balanced aromas: Africa has a charming floral fragrance in the freshness; after recognizing the richness of Asia, you can make a great hand blend with beans, or you can choose one from each continent to mix. Mix 2- 3 varieties to match, and then choose a unique name, whether to enjoy or as a gift is very good. In the way of hand-blending beans, the most representative ones are "baking first and then matching" and "baking first and then matching". Hand-mixed beans will also vary with different baking methods of raw beans, each with different advantages and disadvantages, although it is difficult to say which way is better, but in the taste is "baked first and then mixed", in the management is "baked first and then mixed" is better.

Bake separately, then mix and hand mix with beans

Roast each variety of green beans separately, and then mix them in a certain proportion according to the coffee drink and taste. The beans are marked individually and mixed in small amounts by hand according to a fixed ratio; a hand blending machine with a blender function can also be used to expect the coffee to present the best flavor. The disadvantage is that when baking separately, strict quality control is required in order to maintain flavor.

Mix the green beans before baking

Mix the green beans of each variety and bake again. When baking, the aroma of different varieties will be mixed together, which will reduce the individual aroma characteristics and emphasize the overall aroma. The advantage of baking raw beans once is that the steps are simple and easy, but the disadvantage is that they cannot retain their original characteristics. There is no certain formula for mixed beans. Although it is only necessary to mix coffee beans according to personal taste, it is necessary to master the flavor characteristics of different kinds of beans before preparing delicious mixed beans. Generally speaking, the main mix of comprehensive beans 2- 5 varieties, but beginners, then mix 3 kinds of less easy to succeed, and want to emphasize the taste of raw beans (or coffee beans), increased to more than 30% is better.

Typical hand-blending method:

1. For a refreshing sour taste, mix Colombia Exceiso, Mexico, Brazil Santos and Yemen mocha.

2. For a sweeter flavor, mix Brazilian Santos, Colombia Exceiso and Indonesian Java.

The best water temperature for hand-brewed coffee is closely related to the depth of coffee beans roasting. Too high a temperature and excessive extraction will bring out more bitterness in coffee beans, while too low a temperature will taste sour and lack aroma, so the best temperature needs to be tried constantly. Generally, lightly roasted coffee beans need to use a higher temperature to stimulate the aroma, 93℃-97℃ is more appropriate; while deeply roasted coffee beans need a slightly lower water temperature so that the aroma does not dissipate instantaneously, 85℃-88℃ is more appropriate.

Front Street Coffee Brewing Recommendations:

Filter cup: Hario V60

Water temperature: 89-90 degrees

Abrasion: Small Fuji Abrasion 3.5

Cooking method: water-powder ratio 1:15, 15g powder, first injection of 25g water, stewing for 25s, second injection to 120g water, water cut off, wait for the powder bed water to drop to half, then inject water slowly until 225g water, extraction time about 2:00

Analysis: Three-stage brewing, clear coffee before, during and after the flavor. Because V60 has many ribs, the drainage speed is faster, and the extraction time can be prolonged when the water is cut off.
