What is dripping coffee? What are the characteristics of dripping coffee? how does it taste? what coffee beans are used for dripping coffee?

There are many kinds of coffee, such as: American style, Italian style, hand brewing, and another saying is: drip filtration, what kind of coffee is this? In fact, the most common filter coffee is hand-brewed coffee, and hand-brewed coffee is a kind of drip coffee, in fact, drip filtration is more common in the office and home, because it is usually relatively simple.

Drip filter coffee is usually made with a Hong Kong-style drip filter or an American-style drip filter. Espresso is made with a fully automatic coffee machine or a professional semi-automatic coffee machine with a pressure of 15-20 Pa. The coffee is covered with coffee essence.

Drip filter coffee is a method invented by Germans, and there are coffee pot filter papers selling Melita everywhere in supermarkets, which is the brand founded by the Germans at that time. The practice of dripping coffee is simply to grind the coffee and put it in a funnel and pour hot water on it. Due to the gravity of the earth, the coffee flows out from the bottom. (traveling in space, it would be troublesome to do so without gravity.) in fact, most coffee machines on the market make coffee in this way, but use electricity to heat water. However, there is a problem with these electric coffee pots, that is, most of the products are not powerful enough, the heated water temperature is not ideal enough to brew the water temperature, and the coffee often has a sour taste.

At present, the most common brewing method of dripping coffee is hand-brewed coffee, which usually better reflects the subtle and delicate taste of coffee, so people usually taste individual coffee by hand. Unlike espresso, drip coffee has lower density and concentration, no layering, pure taste and uniform quality, because hot water can absorb coffee oils and aromas more fully without the influence of pressure. make the coffee taste softer.

It is also easy to brew drip coffee by hand, and it costs very little. A good coffee mill can grind coffee beans into a more uniform powder, a kettle, you can boil water, and you need something that can filter coffee powder. There are many kinds of filters, some can use filter paper, some do not use filter paper. Filter paper is more controversial, some people think that the coffee filtered with filter paper tastes cleaner, while the filter screen often has coffee grounds into the cup, which is unpleasant. Some people think that filter paper will filter out the fragrant grease in coffee, as well as the nasty smell of filter paper. But the controversy over these tastes is purely a matter of personal preferences. I have no problem with either of these methods.

What's the difference between drip coffee and espresso?

It takes only ten seconds for espresso to lose its original flavor, so people who order this drink usually finish it quickly. In the former, the flavor lasts much longer. Many fancy coffees, such as lattes, are made with espresso as the core, but dripping coffee cannot. In terms of quantity, espresso is usually divided into single and double, that is, one ounce or two ounces in a cup. But the filter coffee can be divided into large and small cups. In terms of coffee beans used, not all coffee beans can be used as espresso, but beans that can be used to make espresso can be used to make drip coffee. As for the degree of grinding of coffee beans, espresso requires three degrees, and dripping coffee is seven or five degrees, depending on whether the funnel for brewing coffee is tapered or flat.

The ideal brewing water temperature for most coffee is between 88 and 92 degrees. The best brewing water temperature varies with the variety and roasting degree of coffee beans, but it is basically within this range. If the water temperature is low and the coffee is not extracted enough, it will be sour. If the water temperature is too high and the coffee is extracted too much, the coffee will be bitter.

Light roasted coffee beans will highlight the flowers and fruit acidity in the coffee, the water temperature of the deep roasted coffee beans in front of the street is 88 degrees; the flavor of medium roasted coffee will be relatively balanced, and the flavor of nuts will be more obvious. Deep-roasted beans emphasize mellow thickness and chocolate flavor, while medium-and light-roasted coffee beans have a water temperature of 91 degrees.

Knowing this principle, if you use an electric coffee maker, and the power of the coffee pot is relatively small, you should try to choose coffee with low acidity and deep roasting to brew.

It is also easy to brew drip coffee by hand, and it costs very little. A good coffee mill can grind coffee beans into a more uniform powder, a kettle, you can boil water, and you need something that can filter coffee powder. There are many kinds of filters, some can use filter paper, some do not use filter paper. Filter paper is more controversial, some people think that the coffee filtered with filter paper tastes cleaner, while the filter screen often has coffee grounds into the cup, which is unpleasant. Some people think that filter paper will filter out the fragrant grease in coffee, as well as the nasty smell of filter paper. But the controversy over these tastes is purely a matter of personal preferences.

Trickling filter is characterized by continuous extraction through water injection, in addition to being affected by time factors, the size and height of water injection is also one of the factors affecting the taste of coffee.

Drip filter coffee is the coffee that people in most parts of the world except the Arab region and the Balkans used to drink before espresso became popular. This kind of coffee tastes much lighter than espresso, but it may be more acceptable to beginners. Because the production of espresso is too complicated, few people can master it well so far. So although espresso seems to be popular all over the world, by far the most people drink drip filter coffee. Especially when families and individuals make coffee, drip coffee is also the most traditional and easiest coffee to make. And no layering, pure taste, uniform quality, this is due to the absence of pressure, hot water can more fully absorb coffee oil and aromatic substances, making the taste of coffee softer.

Perhaps drip filter coffee, a lighter coffee, is more acceptable to people who come into contact with coffee for the first time, and it is also a common way for families to make coffee. Of course, the choice of these two kinds of coffee also depends on your personal preference. Some people like the silky taste of milk-based coffee, while others like the pure taste of filtered coffee.

For example: Qianjie uses more of these two cups, one is V60, the other is Kono cup.

V60 cup is very suitable for emphasizing the acidity and floral aroma of coffee. Although filter paper is used, it can still retain a considerable amount of coffee oil and alcohol thickness through V60. For example: Ethiopian coffee, Kenyan coffee, Panamanian Rosa coffee and so on.

Parameters of Sidamo Sakuran Coffee on Qianjie Street:

Essex Damo Sakui coffee is lightly roasted and the beans are hard, requiring 91 ℃ of hot water to stimulate the floral and fruity flavor of the coffee. Grinding degree Qianjie recommended medium fine grinding degree (Chinese standard No. 20 screen pass rate of 80%). Too thick to extract mellow substances, brewed coffee will appear thin. Too fine is easy to be over-extracted at high water temperature, and the coffee brewed is prone to bitterness.

The specific cooking parameters used in Qianjie are: V60 filter cup, water temperature 91 ℃, water powder ratio 1:15, powder quantity 15g, medium fine grinding degree (China 20 standard sieve pass rate 80%)

Qianjie coffee staged extraction: first, use 30g water to fully wet the powder layer in the shape of "hamburger" and steam for 30s; in the second stage, water is injected into 125g at 1: 00 "timer, then stop and wait for the water level to drop to 2 / 3 of the powder layer into the third stage; in the third stage, the water is injected into 225g when the timer is 390 / 40", and the total extraction time for coffee liquid to be completely dropped is 1 cup 3959 ". The total brewing time is 2 minutes 39 percent 00 ". Shake gently after the coffee is extracted, and then taste it until the coffee liquid is fully uniform.

Qianjie Sunshine Sidamo Sakui 5.0Coffee flavor: light fermented wine, caramel will be heavier, taste will be rich and complex, honey sweet, cocoa rhyme with a touch of spice, body thick and lingering.

Kono cup is very suitable for medium and deep roasted coffee beans, which can highlight the mellow and smooth taste of coffee beans. For example: blue Mountain Coffee, Manning Coffee, Columbia Huilan Coffee and so on.

Parameters for brewing Manning coffee in front of the street:

The KONO filter cup is used to brew the Mantening coffee in the front street, and the ribs of the KONO stop when the height of the filter cup is less than half of the height of the filter cup. This design is actually designed to ensure that the filter cup is wet and close to the wall of the filter cup, so as to limit the airflow, which will increase the water absorption time of coffee powder particles, so that the extracted coffee is more uniform as a whole and improves the mellow taste.

KONO filter cup, 88 degrees Celsius water temperature, 1:15 powder / water ratio, 15g coffee powder, grinding degree (standard sieve 20 pass rate 75%), three-stage extraction.

The use of segmented extraction, with twice the amount of coffee powder water for steaming, that is, 30 grams of water for 30 seconds, and the reason for the need for steaming process is to make coffee powder can discharge the internal carbon dioxide gas, so that the latter stage of the extraction is better stable. When the small water is injected around the circle to 125 grams, the injection will be stopped until 225 grams, then the filter cup will be removed after the dripping of the filter cup, and the extraction time will be 2 minutes 39 grams. Next, pick up and shake the whole cup of coffee, then pour it into the cup and taste it.

Someone asked, what kind of beans should be used to make coffee before it tastes better? In fact, Qianjie believes that all coffee beans can be brewed by hand, as long as they like the coffee flavor, pay more attention to details and practice when brewing, they must be able to brew their favorite coffee!

Suggestions for making coffee in front of the street:

No matter what kind of coffee is brewed, the freshness of coffee beans is very important. Qianjie has always believed that the freshness of coffee beans has a great relationship with the flavor of coffee, so the coffee beans shipped in Qianjie coffee are roasted within 5 days. The purpose of Qianjie roasting is "freshly roasted coffee", so that every guest who places an order is the freshest coffee when he receives it. The bean cultivation period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so when the guest gets it, it is the time when the flavor is the best.

For those who need to be ground, Qianjie warmly reminds you that if the coffee beans are ground in advance, there is no need to raise the beans, because in the process of transportation, the pressure caused by carbon dioxide in the package can also make the coffee flavor round. so you can drink a cup of coffee as soon as you receive the coffee powder. But the coffee powder needs to be brewed in time, because the coffee powder oxidizes more quickly after contact with the air, that is to say, the flavor of the coffee will dissipate more quickly, and the flavor of the coffee is not so good. Therefore, Qianjie suggests buying whole beans, grinding and flushing now, so that we can better taste the flavor of coffee.
