Making coffee by hand is a ritual, before you start your day's work, on a leisurely late afternoon, when you want to treat yourself well!

On a leisurely weekend afternoon, the editor washed Yega Xuefei with a pot of water, poured it into a small glass with a sharing pot, and tasted the mellow coffee with his friends. While drinking, someone suddenly asked a question that no one had ever asked the editor: "under what motivation did you start to make your own coffee?" "

The editor thought for a moment that this answer may not be agreed with by everyone, but it is indeed a simple motive: "to save money." "

The initial way of coffee brewing ── convenience store coffee is comparable to home-brewed coffee.

The editor, like many people, started from instant coffee and gradually came into contact with the freshly ground coffee in coffee shops. He became uncontrollable and relieved his addiction to convenience store coffee by buying a cup of convenience store coffee worth more than ten yuan. He also won the promotion tactics of Internet coffee. He often thought that he had a discount coupon and did not use it for nothing. He felt that he could rest at home for only a few days. If he could not do it, he would not bother to do it. Anyway, it was not expensive. But is a cup of coffee really cheap for more than ten yuan?

The answer is no!

According to the common medium cup of American coffee, the whole family, 7-11 and Xishiduo are all about 10 yuan, which is a very high performance-to-price ratio. American coffee is espresso with water, so 360ml's medium cup hot American style is basically made of double espresso (about 20 grams of coffee powder).

Excluding the cost of the cup is equivalent to 10 yuan per 20 grams of powder. You only need to use a simple household espresso machine to brew. A pound (454 grams) of espresso beans can be bought for 7 or 80 yuan, and you can buy very good beans at this price in a famous coffee roasting brand. it's not bad even for hand brewing. If you want to brew American black coffee the same size as a cup in a convenience store, it is also a cup of beans with 20 grams, which costs about 3.5 yuan.

As a result, the coffee brewed by oneself is obviously better. Some people may ask, is it worth just a few yuan short of a cup? It's worth it. If you also drink several cups of coffee a day.

From the Italian coffee machine to the hands of ── in pursuit of the ultimate start

Yes, the editor's original intention is to save money, but slowly, he is not reconciled to drinking American coffee, because the special beans baked by different individual beans and the personalities of different stores cannot all be brewed with an Italian coffee machine. that would destroy their personality.

When the editor bought Hario filter cups and filter paper online, and bought a bag of Yega Chuefei in a roasting coffee shop of his own, it was in that cool early autumn that the editor decided to delve into hand-punching skills.

From the temperature, speed and flow rate of water injection to the slow dripping of coffee liquid, as well as the warm aroma of coffee and the taste of coffee at different temperatures, everyone who is addicted to hand-brewed coffee will pay more and more attention to detail. And each unique bean is like a beautiful tour, you taste not only the color between the tongue, but also like a postcard sent from a foreign country, telling you how the local climate has been able to grow such unique coffee beans!

Most importantly, it makes the editor no longer focus on how much money he saves, but how to create a small universe of his own in the aroma and mellow coffee taste. People who love hand drive will probably eventually become enthusiasts who only focus on their own goals and methods, rather than consumers who only focus on the eyes of others and secular achievements.

Why not go to the cafe?

On weekends, you can still see long queues of popular stores introduced by many well-known online celebrities, including cafes. However, most of these cafes are based on meals, and coffee is the foil, so they mainly focus on special coffee. The reasons for being full of popularity are nothing more than the beautiful decoration style of online celebrities, various visual shocks, and desperately brushing advertisements in a certain book. If the meal or coffee does not have significant strengths or characteristics, it will often close down after two or three years.

This is usually the case with popular things. You spend hours chasing something that has only been around for two or three years. Why not take a few minutes to give yourself an eternal happiness and peace?

Try to make your own coffee, it is not difficult, in order to serve your own things, always allow you to slowly explore and find the best way!

In fact, you can also flush out delicious coffee, taste coffee that is richer and more layered than take-away coffee, quietly listen to your favorite music, read books and drink coffee at home. Instead of spending three times as much money to go to the cafe, be disturbed by the noise, and be bombarded by the noise.

Enjoy slow life and be quiet and far away. Making coffee by hand is a ritual, before you start your day's work, on a leisurely late afternoon, when you want to treat yourself well!
