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

Need equipment: hand flushing pot, sharing pot and filter cup, filter paper, bean grinder, thermometer, gram.

On the bean grinder: it is suggested that friends who like to drink freshly ground coffee should invest in a reliable bean grinder, whether electric or hand-operated, the quality of the product is much better than that of buying coffee powder, and the price for household use is not very high.

About hand punch: there are many kinds of hand punch, and different brands, different materials, different styles and different prices are dazzling. It seems that it is not an easy task to choose a suitable hand punch among many hand punch pots. This requires everyone to do more homework to understand different hand punch pots. It is best to have a try in person to choose your own suitable "magic pot". Recommended here are Japanese brands KALITA, HARIO, Taguchi, Moon Rabbit, etc., of course, the price is also relatively high, domestic TIAMO, Zhengzheng line and other prices are relatively cheap, but I have said, as long as coffee is not deceptive, more is a penny, so we choose according to their own actual situation. Here we choose HARIO 1.2L stainless steel hand punch, which is also the most common hand punch in the international barista competition.

1. Folding filter paper: take out a fan-shaped filter paper, one side of which is pressed by the machine, and its edge is thicker. (the choice of filter paper: filter paper is divided into size and type, according to the choice of filter cup, bleached filter paper and raw pulp filter paper, bleached filter paper pulp taste is small, we choose bleached filter paper. Fold the thickest side and flatten it. Open the filter paper to align the two center lines and press it gently. Do not press the two fan faces into a broken line! )

Put the folded filter paper in the filter cup.

two。 Weigh coffee beans: 20g coffee beans (there is a saying that you can use 10g for one cup and 15g or less than 20g for two cups. In fact, it is not in line with the extraction principle. If you want to get light coffee, you can reduce the amount. But it is incorrect to make two cups of coffee and the coffee beans can be reduced. Players can try it on their own, and the taste is really very different.)

3. Grinder: hand grinder grinds coffee beans

4. Heating water: it is best to use a thermometer to measure the water temperature to make the water temperature accurate. The water temperature range of hand flushing is relatively large from 83 to 95, but the taste of different water temperatures must also be very different. Different beans with different baking degrees require different water temperatures, which need players to adjust themselves to find their most suitable water temperature.

5. Wet filter paper: rinse the hot water evenly on the filter paper, make the filter paper wet, stick tightly to the filter cup, and then pour out the hot water in the sharing pot. Many people are not used to wet filter paper and think that it is superfluous. In fact, the biggest effect of wet filter paper is three: 1. Flush out the impurities and smell of the filter paper 2. Attach the filter paper to the filter cup 3. Warm filter cup and sharing pot)

6. Pour the ground coffee powder into the filter cup and gently pat flat.

7. Steaming: evenly pour water into the coffee powder about 1.5 times the number of grams of coffee powder (be sure to pour thoroughly, but do not drop too much water in the sharing pot) steaming time is not fixed, fresh coffee powder will begin to absorb and expand after water injection. When all coffee powder absorbs water and stops the steaming process, you can inject water at this time. (whether the coffee is expanded or not or the size of the expansion is closely related to the baking degree and freshness of the coffee. The fresher the coffee powder is, the bigger the expansion is, and the deeper the roasting is, the greater the expansion is.)

8. Water injection: the novice hand flush should be uniform, and there is no need to pursue any flushing method. As long as it is uniform, it will not taste bad. It is recommended to start water injection from the midpoint, and then draw concentric circles along one direction to the periphery, but do not rush to the filter paper. Draw concentric circles until the center is so repeated. The current should be stable, water injection can be divided into two or three times, and many players dispute whether or not the middle is divided. As for the taste of any different aesthetics did not drink, so do not elaborate here, players can try their own.

9. Finish the extraction: finish the extraction, get the coffee liquid about 240ml, finish the water injection, remove the filter cup, and share our delicious coffee in the pot.

Knowledge: 8-14 days after baking is the best taste period, the longer the coffee beans are put, the more you need to adjust the degree of grinding.

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.
