The practice of cold brewing coffee is to grind the beans into a very coarse powder, then soak them in cold water for about 12 hours. Due to the long soaking time, the coffee liquid will oxidize and the acidity of the coffee will be reduced. The acidity I'm talking about is not the kind of acid that gives you a stomachache, but an advantage that gives coffee a bright taste and subtle fruit-like flavor features. I prefer Japanese iced coffee because it retains the acidity and aroma that make it so delicious-simply put, it tastes more like chilled hot coffee, which is not achieved in all the other ways I have tried. Without that brightness and fruit tone, coffee will look a little boring. And it will be difficult to distinguish between two different kinds of cold-brewed coffee, because cold-brewed coffee generally has a chocolate flavor, there is not much difference.

Be aware of the recipe for making coffee. Whether you measure it in grams or ounces, it's best to know the ratio of coffee to water you like. Generally speaking, every 28 grams of water corresponds to 1.6 grams-2 grams of coffee can make a good coffee.

Start

Step1. Prepare the washed filter paper, place the coffee powder in the filter cup, and then put 150g of ice in the heat-resistant pot. This is the state where you can directly stand by to brew.

Step2. Water temperature setting. Can set the temperature a little higher, the taste will be more obvious. Because at this time, whether it is 82 degrees or 92 degrees, the ice will melt quickly and will be chilled as well.

Step3. When the set temperature is reached, start rushing the way you are used to.

"Japanese iced coffee"

Advantages: the step is the simplest, and it becomes iced coffee immediately after brewing. The ice-melting sound when brewing is very nice. Visual effects are done in one go, suitable for picking up girls. I'm talking nonsense.

Disadvantages: the taste is lighter, and it is known to be the only one at present.

However, if the amount of water and ice is "5:3", I think it is suitable for lighter taste or when receiving guests.

The shade only goes so far, and then even if the rest of the ice melts, it will not become lighter.
