How to make an espresso

Espresso must be made from coffee beans, but there are some differences between espresso beans and individual coffee. Individual coffee, which comes from a single origin or a single farm, exists in order to taste the unique "regional flavor". As Yinong magnifies the taste of coffee beans several times, too much emphasis on a single flavor in the mix: sour, bitter, astringent, will make a cup very unbalanced.

A good recipe is very important. How many percent of Ethiopian beans, how many percent of Brazilian beans, and how many percent of Sumatran beans do you want? Based on different specific combinations, the final flavor may be fruity or chocolate, but all the characteristics of a cup must be based on a relatively balanced flavor, otherwise a careless one becomes a very sour, bitter, and astringent dark dish.

In addition to the necessary espresso machine, you also need a timer, a measuring cup and a powder press. The timer helps you keep track of the extraction time, the measuring cup measures the amount of espresso extracted, and the powder press helps make the coffee powder in your coffee powder bowl more solid.

Before each time, clean the coffee powder bowl. Oh, whether it is good or not, these details can not be underestimated.

Grind the coffee beans before brewing, fully retain the aroma and taste of the coffee, the grinding degree is very fine. The finer the grind, the longer the extraction time, according to 1 ounce of coffee can be extracted in 20-30 seconds.

Gently shake the powder bowl to make the coffee powder evenly distribute the powder bowl, sometimes it is necessary to flatten the surface with your fingers, and distribute the powder evenly to facilitate the follow-up powder pressing work.

Use a smooth pink hammer at the bottom, plus your own weight, to compact the coffee in the coffee powder bowl. Solid, flat coffee powder, let the hot water pass evenly, how compacted is it? It is better to complete the extraction within 20-30 seconds. There are many ways to press powder, like holding the door handle, pressing the powder hammer with the back end of the palm, perpendicular to the ground, and pressing down with the natural weight passed from the shoulder.

Carefully wipe off the ears, neck and face of Miss Coffee Powder Bowl (well, why is it that Miss Coffee Powder Bowl is not Sensen? Girls need to be treated more gently)

Release a section of water, you really need to release a section of water, you must release a section of water! Ensure the temperature of the water and remove the residue from the contact surface.

Easy to ignore small details, clean the Italian machine. It is important to keep a clean and tidy environment at all times.
