[Qianjie barista's Note] is it better to extract strawberry filter cups by stages or with a knife?

We discussed the day before yesterday that [strawberry filter cup] extracted a shallow roasted coffee bean under different grinding pairs, and found that the extraction rate of V60 will be higher, and the flavor will be more complete and hierarchical; if you like the rich fruit flavor, you can thicken it a little bit, as you can see: "[front street barista's notes] what grindness should be used to boil lightly baked beans with strawberry filter cup? ".

Today, we will use the grinding degree of V60 (BG-5R, China Standard 20 screen pass rate 56%) to cook the Honduras Sweet Orange Manor, which is also moderately baked, using one-knife flow and segmented extraction, respectively, to see which flavor will be better!

[Honduras Sweet Orange Manor]

Honduras El Naranjo

Country: Honduras

Producing area: Makala Marcala

Altitude: 1425 m

Variety: Kaduai

Treatment: washing

Agtron bean color value 64.4 (left), Agtron pink value 82.7 (right), Roast Delta value 18.3

Cup test flavor: this bean is washed in water with dry aromas of spices and roasted peanuts, making the beans more sour, with soft sour berries, orange, cantaloupe, cream, nuts, dark chocolate and a hint of Xuan rice tea in the back.

[segmented extraction]

Parameters: strawberry filter cup / 1 15tick 90 ℃ / grindability BG 5R/15 g coffee powder

Technique: 30 grams of water is steamed for 30 seconds, then injected to 132 grams, and then injected to 276 grams after the powder bed is dropped to see the powder bed. The filter cup is removed after seeing the powder bed. The total extraction time is 1: 58 ".

Flavor: nuts, licorice, cream, chocolate, caramel, smell with orange peel oil aroma, smoked flavor, cold almond aroma, juicy feeling; the overall flavor is full and mellow.

[across the board]

Parameters: strawberry filter cup / 1 15tick 90 ℃ / grindability BG 5R/15 g coffee powder

Technique: 32 grams of water is steamed for 30 seconds and then injected to 226 grams. After seeing the powder bed, the filter cup is removed. The total extraction time is 1: 57 ".

Flavor: hazelnut, cream, sugar, chocolate, smell of grass, Huigan is sweet; the whole is relatively fresh and clean, the flavor is soft, the layered feeling is not rich.

The editor thinks that the extraction time is short and the extraction is incomplete, so try to extend the extraction time.

[one-cut delay]

Parameters: strawberry filter cup / 1 15tick 90 ℃ / grindability BG 5R/15 g coffee powder

Technique: 29 grams of water is steamed for 30 seconds and then injected to 227 grams. After seeing the powder bed, the filter cup is removed. The total extraction time is 2: 16 ".

Flavor: oranges, herbs, flowers, cream, slightly cold, such as lemon tea, grapefruit, the overall balance, rich aroma.

[strawberry filter cup] & [segmented extraction]

The bump design of the strawberry filter cup is to prevent over-extraction due to long soaking time, because there are many bumps, so the fit between the filter paper and the filter cup is not high, and the coffee powder and water will be in a static state for a long time under the method of segmented extraction, and the flow can seep through the filter paper to flow away from the gap between the bumps, so the extracted coffee flavor will not be over-extracted and the rate will be higher and the flavor will be complete.

[strawberry filter cup] & [in one fell swoop]

One-knife flow is the use of water flow to constantly stir coffee powder to increase its extraction rate. When doing a knife flow for the first time, the editor found that the flavor extracted was not complete at the same time as segmented extraction. perhaps because of the short time and the design characteristics of [strawberry filter cup], the extraction rate of coffee in the front section is not high and has flowed to the sharing pot, and the final coffee flavor will be relatively light and incomplete. So the editor tries to control the flow finer, and after prolonging the extraction time, the obvious flavor will be better than the first cup, fruity flavor and balanced taste.

Through the above experiments, the editor feels that when the shallow baked beans are boiled with [strawberry filter cup] [Honduras Sweet Orange Manor], the extraction rate will be higher, the flavor will be more complete and the hierarchical feeling will be more rich than that of one-knife flow. The fruit flavor will be rich under one-step flow, just like drinking fruit juice and fruit tea, the aroma will be stronger than the segmented extraction, but the flow should be controlled finer so that the extraction time is longer, so that the coffee flavor can be extracted more completely.
