Will hand-made coffee taste better than American coffee made by coffee machine? what are the advantages of hand-made coffee?

"is hand-brewed coffee better than American coffee? "although they are all black coffee, they have their own characteristics. In front of this article, let's talk about the difference between hand-brewed coffee made by drip filtration and American coffee made by Italian coffee machine. When you go to a coffee shop, do you want to drink hand-brewed coffee or American coffee?

What is hand-made coffee?

Hand-brewed coffee belongs to drip coffee. Drip coffee first appeared to filter coffee! The brewed coffee is filtered out with perforated copper cups and blotting paper to get a cup of clean coffee liquid. Later, with the promotion of the concept of fine coffee, people began to realize that coffee can have a delicate coffee flavor, but it needs to be extracted at a specific water temperature for time to show perfectly, so people began to improve the filtering apparatus and filter paper. Then grind the coffee beans into a suitable thickness and pour them directly into the filter cup for water injection extraction, so that the extraction time and water temperature of coffee can be effectively controlled. The improved hand-brewed coffee uses a coffee filter cup with filter paper / other filter media to block the coffee grounds, resulting in a cup of coffee with flavor levels.

Why is there a "sense of hierarchy" in hand-made coffee?

In traditional coffee, coffee powder is added to the water for boiling and extraction, and the extraction time is also random. Coffee extracted at high temperatures and for a long time is prone to excessive extraction. Although it smells strong and tastes mellow, it is always accompanied by an unpleasant sense of bitterness. Only 30% of a coffee bean is flavor, 70% is wood fiber, and we only need to extract 18% 22% of these 30% flavor substances.

Coffee flavor substances also have an order, the first released sour substances, then sweet substances, and finally bitter substances, if we extract 30% of the flavor substances, then once the bitter substances are excessively extracted, even if they block the sour taste and drink sweetness, in the end, the coffee will be very bitter and astringent. Hand brewing coffee can effectively control the extraction of coffee by changing the grinding thickness, water temperature, the way of water injection and the proportion of brewing powder. When the sweet and sour taste of coffee is fully extracted, proper bitterness can also add mellow to the coffee. With the decrease of coffee temperature, different tastes / flavors will show the best at a certain temperature, so hand-brewed coffee will show different levels.

What is the best temperature for hand-brewed coffee?

The best drinking temperature of coffee beans varies with the degree of roasting. For example, the PWN Gold Manning beans of Qianjie Coffee use deep roasting to highlight the mellow thickness of the coffee. The sweet and bitter taste of coffee with high alcohol thickness will be obvious, and the best temperature of sweet and bitter taste is 40-60 degrees Celsius. In the case of Qianjie Coffee, for example, Huakui 5.0 coffee beans are roasted in a medium and light degree to highlight the sour and sweet fruit of the coffee. The best time for sweet and sour taste is 30-50 degrees. Of course, this is only the best expression of a particular flavor / taste! When brewing coffee for guests in Qianjie, three stages of high temperature, medium temperature and low temperature are recommended to taste. If we only taste at the best temperature, we will miss many "flavor surprises" brought by other temperatures.

What is American coffee?

Authentic American coffee is diluted in espresso with the right amount of water to reach the concentration desired by the drinker. The production of espresso is completely different from that of drip coffee! Espresso is pressurized by a specific coffee machine 9bar to quickly extract a cup of coffee liquid with a high concentration. This method of extraction was first invented in order to quickly drink a cup of caffeinated coffee for refreshing, no flavor to speak of! However, with the improvement of people's quality of life and the promotion of boutique coffee, espresso now pays attention to the selection of coffee beans and the performance of flavor, mixing with the right proportion of water, the concentration of espresso is pulled away, and the flavor of coffee can be shown more clearly when it is full-bodied.

What's the taste of American coffee?

The flavor performance of American coffee depends on the coffee beans used to make espresso, but there are seeds. The daily espresso drinks produced in Qianjie store are sun-dried Yerba Shirley beans mixed with sherry beans, and the espresso is made with whisky aroma, sweet and sour berries, smooth vanilla cream and a nutty cocoa finish. The dilution ratio of American coffee is 1:6, but because of the special flavor and soft flavor of Italian coffee beans used in front street, the dilution ratio is so low. The dilution ratio of American coffee in general cafes is about 1:7-1:8.

Should I make coffee or American coffee when I go to the cafe?

It is recommended on the front street! You can look at the time and decide. If you are not in a hurry, you can sit down and taste the levels and surprises of a cup of hand-made coffee at different temperatures, and sit at the bar quietly watching the barista make a cup of coffee. But if you are in a hurry, choose American coffee! Hand-brewed coffee usually takes 3-5 minutes to make, while American coffee takes 1-2 minutes to make.
