Qianjie-A brief introduction to the brewing method and coffee treatment of individual coffee

Extraction plays the most important role in brewing a cup of coffee, whether it is hand-dripping filtration, Espresso semantic concentration or any other brewing method has a lot to do with extraction, extraction is the focus of brewing a cup of coffee. Individual coffee can be brewed in a variety of ways: siphon pot, hand brewing pot, Philharmonic pressure, etc.

Insolation

The sun treatment has a very high requirement on the climate, and if you encounter a rainy day in the sun, it will make the beans moist and moldy. When drying raw beans in the sun, the color is yellow, and the center will be brown after baking, rather than the white of washed beans.

Sun beans have relatively better sweetness and mellow thickness, while less sour taste, but the quality is more unstable, there will be greater fluctuations. Because of the low cost of tanning, it is widely used not only in Ethiopia and Yemen, but also in Robusta coffee grown in Africa and Indonesia.

Washing treatment

The water washing method can remove impurities (stone or garbage, etc.) and defective beans through each step, so the appearance of raw beans is uniform, is generally considered to be of high quality, and the trading price is higher than that of coffee beans refined by natural drying.

However, the more detailed the division of labor, the more procedures for operation and hygiene management, and the higher the risk, so washing is not necessarily equal to high quality. The biggest disadvantage of water-washed coffee is that coffee beans are prone to the stench of fermentation during fermentation. The washed coffee has bright acidity and clean taste.

Secret treatment

Honey treatment with the mucous membrane for sun-drying the process of making raw beans. After the outer pulp of the coffee bean is removed, there will be a layer of sticky jelly. The traditional method of washing is to wash it off with clean water, but because of the limitation of water resources in some high-altitude areas, there is this way of direct drying.

The honey treatment process is vulnerable to pollution and mildew, so it needs to be closely watched throughout the process, constantly turning, and speeding up drying, so as to avoid bad fermentation flavor. Its advantage is that it can best preserve the original sweet flavor of coffee ripe fruit, making the coffee show elegant black sugar flavor and drupe flavor, while the berry flavor also supports the basic aroma of red wine, which is considered to be a very elegant product.

Knowledge expansion: in the world of hand-brewed coffee, it is most important to restore the flavor of beans as much as possible, and every link can be full of creativity in order to achieve this goal, so there are many kinds of brewing methods. it's what we often call the hand-brewing genre.
