The talent passes the secret skills privately! Do not fail to make coffee by hand

When it comes to coffee beans, they can be divided into light roasting, medium roasting and heavy roasting. Coffee cherries are actually like fruits. Good coffee beans have fruity, floral, cocoa, nutty flavors, etc., usually the lighter the roast and the more sour they are, the more they can drink the essence of the coffee beans; on the contrary, the heavier the roast, the more bitter. As far as brewing is concerned, different brewing methods, different extraction methods and time, should be given different thickness of grinding, usually the shorter the extraction time, the finer the coffee powder should be ground, and it is easier to extract bitterness.

[full mark brewing guide: hand-made coffee]

Step 1: fold the filter paper and put it into the filter cup.

Step 2: rinse the filter paper with hot water, as long as let the filter paper all wet, so as to remove the smell of the filter paper. (although there is only a little water to wash the filter paper, don't forget to pour it out first and then take follow-up actions.)

Step 3: pour in the coffee powder, distribute it evenly, and rub a small hole with your little finger in the center.

Step 4: with 87 to 92 degrees hot water, first pour some hot water into the small hole, then slowly spread to the surrounding coffee powder clockwise or counterclockwise, until the water is dripping and steam for 30 seconds. (steaming allows coffee powder to inhale hot water and discharge carbon dioxide, which is helpful for the extraction of aromatic substances.)

Step 5: when steaming, the coffee powder will swell (the fresher the coffee powder is, the more it will bulge), until the bulge is about to collapse, it can be injected with hot water.

Step 6: when flushing by hand, take the middle as the center and slowly spread out in a circle, so that the hot water can be diffused horizontally in the coffee powder to extract rich coffee flavor. (do not rush directly to the outermost ring when making a circle, this will cause the hot water to fall directly along the edge of the filter paper cup, which will not only fail to extract, but will dilute the coffee concentration.)

Step 7: raise the pot slightly before the end of the hand, shake the pot in the middle of the coffee powder, increase the brewing pressure, stir the coffee powder with hot water pressure, and do the final extraction before the end. Step 8: collect the water, let the water in the filter paper drip slowly, and so on when you like the coffee in the proportion of powdered water, you can pick it up and enjoy it.
