A brief introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of Qianjie-coffee bean treatment and hand punching

Solarization method

If coffee farmers adopt the sun treatment method to evaluate the weather permitting, they will spread the screened coffee fruits directly on the main square, let the sun exposure for 2 to 3 weeks, dry the coffee fruits, and then remove the shell of the dried coffee fruits to get coffee beans.

This kind of sun-dried beans will adhere to the dried pulp layer and pectin layer, so the flavor of the coffee beans will be richer and the taste will tend to be sweet.

Washing method

The peel and pulp of the screened coffee fruit are removed by the sheller, and the remaining coffee beans containing pectin layer will be fermented for 12 to 24 hours by symbiotic bacteria of the coffee itself, such as acetic acid bacteria and lactic acid bacteria. These strains digest the pectin layer on the outside of the coffee beans, and then produce acid and seep into the coffee beans, making the flavor of the coffee beans sour, which is then treated by washing, so it is called water washing.

Sun drying and water washing have their own advantages and disadvantages in processing. Sun processing is simple, as long as the coffee fruit is dried by the sun, but because it is very dependent on the big sun that worship several times in a row, it is limited by the weather. if it rains in a few days, the whole batch of coffee fruits may be reimbursed, so the price of good sun-dried beans remains high in the coffee bean auction market. Washed beans also have processing restrictions, and they may not be able to use water washing in some countries where water is scarce or of poor water quality.

Honey treatment method

Honey treatment is popular in Costa Rica and belongs to the semi-washing method, but unlike the water washing method, the fermentation time is not long, so there are still some pectin layers on the coffee beans, which will form the color of beeswax (amber spots) after drying, so it is called honey treatment. This kind of treatment will give the coffee more flavor.

One knife stream

Water injection is non-stop from the beginning, without going through the pre-immersion stage, until the end of brewing, the whole process only goes through one water injection. Generally suitable for medium or deep baking.

Advantages: uniform water injection, the taste is relatively peaceful and elegant, relatively balanced.

Disadvantages: the water flow is not easy to control, and it is easy to skip the coffee powder and flow down directly through the edge of the filter paper, resulting in a thin taste.

Knowledge expansion: no matter which way, the most important thing is to let the water evenly soak the coffee powder to achieve a better extraction effect. In the process, the flow can be small first and then large, and it can also increase the sense of hierarchy.

In short: Qianjie is a coffee research hall, happy to share the knowledge about coffee with you, we share unreservedly just to make more friends fall in love with coffee, and there will be three low-discount coffee activities every month. The reason is that Qianjie wants to make more friends drink the best coffee at the lowest price, which has been Qianjie's tenet for 6 years!
