The skill of making coffee with four hands makes your coffee taste better (hand coffee)

Taiwanese love to drink coffee and make their own coffee. the rise of hand-brewed coffee has led to a trend of making their own coffee, and even utensils have been constantly innovated, giving coffee fans more choices. Hand-brewing coffee classrooms or coffee societies have also been set up one by one, so it can be seen that the magic of hand-brewing coffee is still hot. Peifu also has many readers who are keen on hand-brewing coffee, but for some beginners, they still can't accurately master the correct skills. Pei-fu once again asks Uncle Coffee to give you the things you need to pay attention to when making coffee, so that you can make a good cup of hand-brewed coffee!

How fine does the coffee powder need to be ground to achieve perfect extraction?

Uncle Coffee: grinding beans is the first step of handmade coffee, but it is also a step that many people are easy to fail. It is either too fine or too thick, which indirectly affects the taste of the cooked coffee powder. If you want to accurately grasp the size of the coffee powder, you can use a small flying eagle or Pegasus bean grinder, which can adjust the scale of the coffee powder and accurately grind it to the ideal fineness. The best thickness of hand coffee powder is between the Italian coffee (No. 1-No. 2) and the French filter pot (No. 5-No. 6), that is, the granularity is about No. 4, and the smaller the number is, the finer the powder is. If you use a traditional hand grinder, the granularity of hand-brewed coffee is half the size of brown sugar, but the disadvantage of manual grinder is that it is easy to have uneven thickness. The coffee powder that is too fine will be over-extracted, and it is easy to extract the coffee impurities, while the coffee powder that is too coarse will be underextracted and the taste will be light.
