A brief introduction to the parameters of powder-water ratio of Qianjie hand-made coffee

Practical parameters of gouache ratio of hand-brewed coffee

[heavy flavour] 1VOG 10ml Coffee Bean weight 1ml Coffee Coffee 13.5 (Bean weight ratio unboiled Water ml)

[moderate taste] 1-12-12-1-13 (I. e. 1-14. 5-1-15. 5)

[refreshing] 1-14-1-1-1-16 (I. e., 1-14-1-1-18. 5 of the Golden Cup Criterion)

The scale is right, but the brewing proportion is not right, and it is not easy to make delicious coffee. In the process of learning, we need to drink repeatedly and test the concentration. It is found that the best brewing ratio, that is, the amount of coffee beans is higher than that of black coffee, which is between 1 cup, 12 grams and 13 milliliters, which is equivalent to the four major gold cup systems in Europe and the United States. the yield of coffee beans is 14.5 grams 115.5 per gram of raw water, and it is most likely to hit the golden range of 18% 22% and 1.15% 1.35% of the "golden cup moment". Instead of brewing espresso with tangled flavor spectrum or thin coffee with too strong water flavor.

It is believed that the brewing ratio of most hand-brewed coffee lovers should fall within this range. Our most commonly used hand-brewing ratio is 1-15-15-1-16, that is, the "golden cup" criterion of 1-15-1-1-1-18. 5.

Of course, some hand-brewed coffee lovers use a more extreme brewing ratio. For example, those who like heavy flavors are often hand-brewed at 1:10 (that is, the golden cup ratio is 1-12.5), using a higher concentration to make up for the deficiency of extraction, that is, only to extract low molecular weight and medium molecular weight sour and sweet flavors, to avoid the extraction of high molecular weight bitter substances, although it can also make mellow delicious coffee, but the concentration is too high. It is not easy for ordinary people to accept, and it is too wasteful of coffee powder to be encouraged. In fact, a better coffee can be made at a more normal 1:12 (that is, a golden cup ratio of 114.5%).

Interestingly, there are also some light coffee lovers who like to brew by hand in a diluted proportion below 1:14, but do not underestimate these coffee lovers, whose taste buds may be sharper and can be appreciated in a variety of layers from the thinner coffee liquid. If you have to use 1:10 to brew in order to feel good enough, it may be that the taste is too dull and depends on high concentrations to stimulate it.
