Which tastes better between Golden Manning and Italian Coffee the flavor and taste characteristics of Indonesian Sumatra coffee beans

The mellow flavor of Manning coffee beans makes many friends have a small misunderstanding about it, that is, "Mantenin Coffee = espresso". In fact, manning beans and espresso have very different flavors and brewing methods. Starting with the brewing method, Manning coffee can be extracted in any form, such as trickling, immersion and pressurized extraction. Espresso, on the other hand, is made by pressurized extraction using blended coffee beans / single-product coffee beans (one of which is single-source coffee beans, Manning coffee is one of them) at a water temperature of 90 ±2 and atmospheric pressure of 9 ±2. Almost all espresso (American coffee, latte, cappuccino, etc.) are based on espresso.

In this article, Qianjie Coffee will talk in depth about Manning Coffee and the difference between it and espresso. Q1: what are individual coffee beans? What are blended coffee beans?

One of the most important characteristics of individual coffee beans is traceability, which can be traced back to the manor or even a curry farmer in the producing area, so it is also helpful to improve the planting level of the producing area in order to get better quality coffee. But it should be noted that single coffee beans ≠ boutique coffee beans, boutique coffee beans refer to a single coffee bean with a Coe cup meter as the standard, and a single coffee bean with a cup test score of more than 80 points can be regarded as boutique coffee beans. And Qianjie Coffee starts each coffee bean according to the COE cup meter as the standard, the cup test score must reach more than 80 points will be considered for sale on the shelf.

The blending of coffee beans began to be advocated when espresso became popular. At the beginning, espresso with rich sweetness and bitterness was popular, while there is a flavor bias in single-origin coffee, that is, advantages and disadvantages coexist. Coupled with the high price of high-quality single coffee beans, it will give rise to the use of coffee beans from other producing areas to make up for its disadvantages while maintaining the advantages of one bean, so as to make balanced coffee. In order to ensure that every cup of espresso is in a stable state, Qianjie Coffee uses a mixture of sun-tanned Yega Shirley and Honduran sherry buckets.

Q2: what is trickling cooking? What is immersion cooking?

Drip brewing is often called hand-brewing coffee in front of the street. Drip filter coffee usually uses a wide range of utensils, such as V60 Kono, origami cup, cake cup, kalita and so on. The coffee liquid filtered by coffee powder layer and filter paper can be called drip coffee by water injection. Qianjie believes that the most important feature of drip-filter coffee is that the coffee has a rich sense of hierarchy, and the flavor of coffee can be expressed differently through different filter cups, brewing techniques, flow speed, brewing temperature and so on.

And immersion brewing is just like the name, as long as the coffee powder is soaked in water for extraction, and then filtered to enjoy, such as smart cup, pressure pot, cup test, etc., belong to immersion extraction. Qianjie believes that the most important feature of immersed coffee is that it can fully show the flavor of the coffee, as well as the alcohol thickness is also excellent. By changing the degree of grinding, water temperature and soaking time, the flavor of coffee can be expressed differently.

Q3: what is pressurized extraction?

When making espresso, the coffee powder in the handle powder bowl is extracted under the pressure of 9bar, and the substance in the coffee powder is quickly dissolved under pressure, so the time for making espresso is very short, with an average of 2 to 3 minutes for hand brewing, while espresso can be extracted in 20 to 30 seconds. This method of extraction also allows us to classify espresso as "pressurized extraction". Qianjie believes that the biggest feature of pressurized extraction is that it can quickly extract an espresso and make different espresso drinks from different materials such as water, milk, etc.

Q4: what are Mantenin coffee beans?

Mantenin coffee beans are produced in Sumatra, Indonesia, also known as Sumatra Coffee. Mantenin is a fine coffee bean grown in the highlands and mountains at an altitude of 750-1500 meters. " "Manning" only represents the name of coffee in Sumatra, not a variety of coffee beans. Mantenin coffee beans usually use Ateng, a hybrid of Katim and Kaddura, also known as Katim, Indonesia, which has always been a favorite of Indonesian farmers because it is adaptable and does not require high altitude to grow. Speaking of Mantenin Coffee, Qianjie Coffee likes its rich aroma, rich taste and strong taste, and the unique herbal flavor is also the symbol of Mantenin Coffee.

Q5: how do you brew manning coffee?

The front street coffee will be brewed by drip filter to make Manning coffee. So what's the difference between Golden Manning and Manning? Former Street Coffee PWN Gold Mantning Coffee beans, for example, PWN Gold Mantning Coffee beans are grown in Lake Tawa in the Geo Mountains in northwest Sumatra. The specification standard of Golden Manning is more than 18 mesh, and there are less than 3 defective beans (300g raw bean samples). It belongs to the highest grade G1, dark green and neat flat beans. After strict screening, Qianjie found that the gold Mantenin not only did not have the unique soil smell of ordinary Mantenin, but also tasted cleaner and brighter.

Qianjie recommends using freshly roasted coffee beans for brewing, so that you can maximize the rich flavor of the coffee. The coffee beans shipped in Qianjie are all roasted within 5 days, because Qianjie is well aware that the freshness of coffee beans has a great impact on the flavor. The purpose of Qianjie roasting is "freshly roasted coffee", so that every guest who places an order is the freshest coffee when he receives it. The bean cultivation period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so when the guest gets it, it is the time when the flavor is the best.

Qianjie coffee products will be brewed with kono filter cups. The most important feature of Kono filter cup is that it has its own immersion function as well as trickling cooking. Unlike the spiral ribs of the v60, the divergent rib design and small aperture filter holes of the Kono filter cup slow the filtration speed of the filter cup and tend to immersion extraction to make the coffee taste full. Cooking golden mantenin coffee beans in a kono filter cup can better enhance the mellow taste of the beans. Qianjie coffee brewing parameters: 15g powder; ratio of powder to water 1: 15; water temperature 88 degrees Celsius; degree of grinding: medium coarse grinding (0.85mm aperture sieve 65%)

Qianjie coffee brewing technique: first wet the filter paper and pour the ground coffee powder into it, slightly smooth the powder bed. In the first stage, 30 grams of hot water of 88 degrees Celsius is injected for steaming for 30 seconds, and after steaming, the second stage is injected with a total amount of water of 125g. A gentle circle of water injection is adopted to avoid the collapse of the powder bed, and the water is allowed to filter and extract slowly after water injection. When the liquid level drops to 1/3, the last stage is injected, the total water is 225g, the injection is completed in about 1 minute and 30 seconds, and the extraction removes the filter cup in about 2 minutes. PWN Gold Manning boiled flavor: nuts, spices, herbs, licorice, chocolate, caramel, clean and soft flavor. Q6: what is espresso?

Espresso "espresso", a type of coffee derived from Italy, is made by forcing near-boiling high-pressure water to grind coffee into fine powder. The capacity of a traditional cup of espresso is about one ounce.

Q7: how is espresso extracted?

The front street uses Pegasus E98 espresso machine, and the extraction parameters are as follows:

Pressure: 9 bar ±2

Temperature: 90.5 ~ 96 °C

Time: 20: 30 sec

Ratio of powder to water: 1. 7: 1. 1: 2.

Powder content: 12g (single espresso) 20g (double espresso)

Extract concentration: 20ml (single) 40ml (double) Qianjie makes espresso using sunflowers made from sun-dried Yega Shirley barrel and Honduran sherry barrel with coffee beans. After extraction, the flavor is characterized by obvious acidity, light berry aroma, strong wine and chocolate flavor and comfortable aftertaste.

Q8: can Mantenin coffee beans be made into espresso?

Yes, but it is not recommended in the front street. First of all, Mantenin is already a mellow coffee. If the coffee is extracted by pressurized extraction, the flavor of the coffee will be infinitely magnified. As a result, the mellow feeling that can be felt by hand will easily become strong and difficult to swallow. Secondly, the reason why it is not recommended is that the brewing water temperature recommended by Mantenin is 88-89 ℃, while the extraction temperature of the espresso machine is above 90 ℃, which will make the coffee easy to over-extract in the extraction process, resulting in bitter and other unpleasant flavor of the extracted coffee.
