Hot summer drink a cup of ice coffee, through the heart sweet and cool, refreshing summer heat, then how to do it?

First of all, we should choose coffee beans with high sweetness and excellent fruit acidity, such as most African shallow baked beans and rose summer shallow baked beans, which have high quality acidity and ice cubes. Today, I used a Nekisse Honey Kiss Coffee Bean from 90 + to make iced coffee.

The way I teach you is to use drip coffee to touch ice cubes directly instead of ice-brewed coffee. We prepare a pot of ice, 300g~400g is fine, in a large sharing pot.

Use 20g of 24g coffee beans, grind them into powder, place the filter on the sharing pot, spread the filter paper, pour in the coffee powder, and pour in hot water.

The moment hot coffee touches ice, it produces a strong flavor, especially this kind of shallow roasted coffee beans with fruit flavor.

For this rich flavor of good beans, my extraction ratio depends on different coffee beans using 1: 25 to 30 light extraction (including the volume of ice), for example, 20g coffee beans extract a total of 200ml, use 300g ice, and finally get 500ml iced coffee solution.

The character of individual coffee is very strong, even recalcitrant. Starting with a cup of coffee, tasting the flavor of coffee beans from different countries and places of origin, gradually, it will be addictive.

A single cup of coffee usually retains the regional flavor of coffee beans more completely. The biggest difference between it and fancy coffee such as latte and mocha is that single coffee can completely retain the original flavor of coffee beans, and you will find that coffee is not necessarily bitter.

There are many coffee beans from different producing areas in the world, and their flavors vary greatly, such as:

Columbia Coffee:

Produced in Colombia, roasted coffee beans release sweet aroma and have the benign characteristics of sweet in acid and flat in bitterness. because of the right concentration, they are often used in Italian coffee.

Manning Coffee:

Produced in Sumatra, Indonesia, known as the fullest coffee beans, with a special flavor of spice, but also with the taste of syrup, but the sour taste is not prominent, but there is a strong mellow, coffee lovers mostly drink alone, it is also often used in Italian-style blended coffee.

Yega Snow Coffee:

Although the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee is petite, it is gentle and delicate and sweet. As the hometown of coffee, thousands of years of planting history and processing tradition in Ethiopia have created high-quality washed Arabica beans. Light baking has unique sweet aromas of lemon, flowers and honey, soft acidity and citrus flavors, fresh and bright on the palate. No milk or sugar, let the rich texture and unique soft flower scent brush your taste buds, leaving an endless aftertaste.

Kenyan coffee:

Kenyan coffee contains every feeling we want from a good cup of coffee. It has a wonderful and satisfying aroma, balanced and delicious acidity, uniform particles and excellent fruit flavor. It is one of the most popular varieties in the industry.

Individual coffee is also the most suitable coffee for people to brew by hand at home and office, compared with Italian coffee in the production methods and utensils, the performance-to-price ratio is much higher, and after mastering the method, you can easily make a cup of coffee with stable quality and unique flavor. Today, Mr. K recommends two kinds of individual coffee to everyone:

First, make coffee by hand.

Hand-brewing coffee can greatly reflect the personalization of "handmade", and feel the fun of making and tasting it at the same time. If your days are repeated in the two o'clock front line of life, or even a bit as boring as instant coffee, then it's time to give it a try. Although the equipment of hand-brewed coffee is simple and the mode of operation is easy to learn, the operation which looks easy and highly similar actually contains the possibility of various tastes, and even the coffee brewed by the same person each time is not exactly the same taste. Hand coffee will make people learn to focus, it is a very popular method in Japan, every family will have a set of tools, must be very focused in order to make a good cup of coffee.

The second is iced coffee.

Ice droplets are generally in limited supply in cafes because they take a long time to make and are extracted by natural melting of ice for more than 8 hours. The taste of coffee will change with the degree of coffee roasting, water volume, water temperature, droplet speed, coffee grinding fineness and other factors.

Ice drop coffee has a special rich flavor and ice. It is a basic coffee drink for people to drink or make all kinds of iced coffee drinks in summer. Coffee powder is 100% soaked in low temperature and moist, and the extracted coffee tastes delicious, smooth and rich. The flavor shown is even more outstanding. By adjusting the speed of water droplets and slowly dripping with cold water, the coffee is extracted at a low temperature of 5 degrees Celsius for several hours, so that the original flavor of coffee can be reproduced naturally.

The end，Let's enjoy it!~
