Professional coffee knowledge exchange more coffee bean information please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Always buy only freshly roasted coffee beans.

You don't eat stale fruits or vegetables, do you? So why drink expired coffee? All coffee beans you buy should be printed with a baking date. Pay attention! It's the baking date! If not, don't buy it.

2. Know what you are drinking.

Learn about the source of your coffee beans, where coffee is grown, where it is grown, and how it is processed. Take the time to get to know your coffee, you know, coffee makers have put a lot of effort into growing, picking, exporting and baking to get the delicious coffee here.

3. Store coffee beans.

If ground into coffee powder, the flavor of coffee will volatilize and dissipate quickly. Therefore, it is important to keep the coffee beans in a sealed container and keep them fresh.

4. Grind only the appropriate amount of powder.

If you are brewing coffee for one person, just grind one serving of coffee powder. Of course, you can also ask others if they want a drink. After all, having fun alone is not as good as having fun.

5. Try different cooking ratio.

The ratio of coffee powder to water is not constant. The editor's suggestion is 1:15, that is, 15 grams of water for every 1 gram of coffee powder. Whether it is good or not is not guaranteed, but one thing is certain: there must be many people who agree or disagree with the editor's suggestion. So, it doesn't matter what other people's opinions are, what matters is your own opinions.

6. Wash the filter with hot water.

You should have heard before that washing the filter with hot water can eliminate all kinds of odors in the filter (wood smell of paper, plastic smell of plastic, rust smell of metal, etc.). Rinse once with hot water and pour out.

Drink as much as you like.

Why care what other people think? This is your cup, your coffee! You should write your name on it! Who is qualified to point the finger at your coffee?

The editor will suggest that you might as well taste the wonderful flavor of the original black coffee without adding sugar and milk when you drink the first sip of coffee. It's just a suggestion, not a rule. You can drink whatever you like.

8. Try Cortado, Cappuchino, Americano and more.

The more cafes you explore, the more kinds of drinks you will find. When you come across coffee items you haven't tried or don't know, you might as well give it a try, or will it open the door to your new world?

9. If you want stable quality, you must keep debugging over and over again.

Believe it or not, making coffee is the same as laboratory research and development. You can repeatedly measure and compare different powder-to-water ratios and grinding scales until you find the most suitable cooking parameters, then repeat them until there is a deviation, and then adjust the parameters according to the deviation. The wrong parameters will remain the same, and the correct parameters are always changing.

10. Do more experiments.

Be a crazy scientist and try new cooking methods every day!

The editor has Hario hand flushing, siphon kettle, French pressure kettle, mocha kettle, love pressure, espresso machine at home. Which appliance I use every day depends on my mood that day. Do you have to do this, too? Of course not! But the editor can do experiments: know exactly what kind of equipment he likes and can rush out the smell he likes. You should do these two things!

Last

Boutique coffee, in different fields, will have different specifications and definitions. But from the consumer's point of view, the boutique coffee on the market emphasizes not only the freshness of coffee beans, but also appropriate roasting methods, appropriate brewing methods, and even the right mix of snacks. Coffee drinkers who are not young should have the experience of walking into boutique cafes found online or recommended by friends, often because of some cold style or a sense of alienation that is too difficult and professional. Feel that although do not understand but think it is very powerful, so back off. This is a contradictory feeling. On the one hand, the profession can make people feel trustworthy, but it may also create barriers and deter people.

Just like this article, the editor named the "Ten Commandments". It must look very serious, but in fact, the editor just wants to tell you: no! It's not a rule, it's a suggestion! Drinking coffee doesn't require so many rules! It is your own right to drink fine coffee, commercial coffee and how to drink it. Never let other people's death rules limit your own likes and dislikes!
