Qianjie-A brief introduction to the varieties of hand-made coffee

Compared with the one-knife flow, the coffee brewed by the method of segmented extraction will have more rich layers, which can clarify the flavor of the front, middle and back of the coffee, and it is easier to control the water flow from the edge of the filter cup. Reduce the instability in the hand. The downside is that the requirements for grasping the flow rate and controlling the amount of water are relatively high.

Three-stage type

After one-stage adjustment, it is changed to three-stage water injection after steaming, and there will be two "water cuts" in the middle, so as to adjust the proportion of the first, middle and back three stages of flavor, with a distinct sense of hierarchy and higher adjustment than the one-stage style. it is suitable for coffee beans with various roasting degrees and producing areas.

"cut off water" refers to the interruption of water injection and the decline of the liquid level in the filter cup, which can increase the extraction of flavor substances, so by increasing the amount of water injection in the first stage and reducing the second or third stage water injection after the next two water cuts, highlight the flavor of the front and middle section, or reduce the first stage of water injection, and increase water injection in the middle and back section after water cut off to show a thick taste.

Because the way of water injection is mainly around a small circle in the center, the purpose is to make the coffee powder layer at the bottom saturated first, leaving only the particles on the surface to be drained, and the next time the water is supplied, the water column is wound out by drawing a concentric circle, so that the coffee particles on the surface are also full of water.

And hand-brewed coffee is selected with high-quality flavor, taste of coffee, Blue Mountain, Rose Summer these needless to say. To put it simply, it is to choose a single product coffee from a single producing area, which is brewed by hand and tastes different [regional flavor]. Arabica variety is the first choice of coffee beans, and its derivative is also a rare choice of individual coffee. Common choices such as Yega Sheffield, Costa Rica, Colombia and so on.

Knowledge expansion: the brewing methods of hand-made coffee are divided into eight schools: one-knife school, three-knife school, volcanic school, meteorite school, Matsuya school, pressing powder school, mixing school and bit-by-bit school.
