Do not fail hand-brewing coffee guide basic knowledge of hand-brewing coffee skills

The world of coffee is fascinating, whether it is aroma, coffee beans, origin, hand-brewing process, is a knowledge. Many people who like to drink coffee must be infatuated with the magic drink of "hand-made coffee", because everyone has a different taste, so they get a unique and personal style. As long as you have the filter paper, filter cup and hands ready.

Make a pot and you can easily make a good cup of coffee.

Basically, the things needed for hand coffee are: hand pot, filter paper, filter cup, thermometer, timer, electronic scale and bean grinder. Not only the taste of the coffee bean itself, but also the temperature, flow rate and direction of the water, the choice of filter paper, the particle size of the powder and many other factors will affect the taste of brewing. I don't know how many times the editor just wanted to stabilize the size and speed of the water column, because all of these will be affected. Therefore, the technology of the brewer can be said to be very important.

For beginners, the size of the spout of the hand flushing pot will be a little smaller to control the amount of water column, that is, the small mouth pot, and whether the grip is in line with the ergonomic design is also very important, because when the brewer injects hot water, the hand should maintain a certain posture. If it is not easy to hold, it will be very tiring, while the more advanced ones can choose the crane mouth pot, although it is more difficult to control, but the taste of brewing is more varied.

The quality of the filter paper is also very important. if you choose something too bad, it will dissolve into the coffee with the smell of pulp.

Brewing step

Grind coffee beans → prepare hot water → brew filter paper → powder → first water injection → steaming → second water injection → enjoy

[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.
