There are many factors that affect the taste of a cup of coffee, the ratio of powder to water in hand-brewed coffee is one of them, and some people think that the amount of powder itself has no effect, but the extraction time. So, is there the best golden powder ratio for hand-brewed coffee? How does the coffee with different powder-to-water ratio taste?

The so-called powder-to-water ratio refers to the relationship between the amount of coffee added in the powder bowl and the total amount of coffee liquid extracted, which is generally presented in the way of [1:xx], that is, the ratio of how many parts of water a coffee powder corresponds to.

Let's take a look at how three different powder-to-water ratios of Colombian and Brazilian beans (1:1, 1R 1.5 and 1:2) affect the taste of coffee!

Grindability of coffee beans: 1.9 of Pegasus 900N

Use a single handle to make espresso

The amount of powder is 13 grams.

The ratio of powder to water is 1: 1: 1: 13 grams of coffee liquid, extraction time: 19 seconds.

[concentrated] the palate is smooth, but with slightly higher acidity, creamy, nutty flavor and long-lasting sucrose.

[latte] it smells like obvious nuts, with aromas of nuts, chocolate, cream and a hint of butter cookies on the palate, and the sweetness of milk is obvious.

[American] it smells of caramel, with a soft, smooth palate and a hint of red berries.

The ratio of powder to water is 1: 1.5. 13 grams of powder extract 20 grams of coffee liquid, extraction time: 27 seconds.

[concentrated] there are sour notes of berries in the mouth and chocolate and hazelnut flavors in the middle.

[latte] it smells of caramel, with cream, milk chocolate and a slight nutty flavor on the palate. The taste of milk and coffee is well balanced.

[American] the entrance is slightly sour with berry-like notes, with obvious sweetness of sucrose at the end.

The ratio of powder to water is 1 to 13 grams of powder to extract 26 grams of coffee liquid, extraction time: 34 seconds.

[concentrated] the entrance is creamy sweet, sweet and sweet, with some rock sugar sweetness, and the aftertaste will have an obvious smoke smell.

[latte] although the entrance is light, it has the sweetness of toffee, and the finish is cinnamon and wood.

[American] it will smell a little woody, with cocoa and woodiness in the mouth.

The experiment found that the concentrated cup with a small proportion of powdered water will taste sour, but it will become very sweet after adding milk, and making it into American style is also a very soft feeling.

Generally speaking, a large amount of powder will increase the extraction time and change the method, resulting in a change in flavor. If 100% uniform extraction of coffee powder can be achieved, and the extraction time of each coffee powder is the same, then the amount of coffee powder has nothing to do with flavor, but with regard to the best ratio of gold powder to water, the ratio of powder to water will be different according to everyone's taste, and there is no absolute ratio of powder to water.

Do you make coffee in a pot?

Brewing coffee refers to the extraction of essential aroma and nutrients from coffee powder and does not have to be stewed in a small pot.

In the earliest days, people did not have more utensils to filter the coffee grounds, so they would directly use the pot to make coffee and then drink the coffee liquid on top. Later, in order to avoid eating coffee grounds, people put coffee powder into small cloth bags and then boiled it. Now there are many utensils that can make coffee. It includes coffee machines, hand brewers, French presses, siphon pots and other utensils specially used for extracting coffee.

How to make coffee tastes good?

In fact, we don't care about how many coffee containers there are, what we care about is how to use these coffee containers correctly to make the coffee more delicious!

Because of the limited space, we won't talk too much about the making skills of each coffee vessel.

First: hand-brewed coffee

Hand-made coffee is like a tea ceremony, with a set of special rules. But if it's easy, just flush it with hot water and filter paper or strainer.

1. Prepare 15g coffee powder and 250ml boiled water

two。 Put the coffee powder into the strainer, pour a little bit of boiling water into it and wet the coffee powder for half a minute.

3. Pour into the boiling water and slowly turn around from the middle (if you are careful, you can pour in half first, wait a minute, then rush into the remaining half, and then wait another minute to finish flushing the water)

4. When the coffee is dripped into the cup below, you can drink it.

Hand-brewed coffee is suitable for clear drink, without sugar and milk.

You can also drink it directly with milk powder (milk powder or goat milk powder). It has the taste of milk tea and has a stronger flavor. Daxuan likes this way of drinking.

The best time to drink coffee is after breakfast, which not only helps digestion, but also invigorates yang.
