Qianjie-brief introduction to brewing coffee by hand

If you use coffee powder that weighs one serving (about 15 grams), you can refer to the following suggestions.

1. The degree of grinding: the thickness which is the same as the size of granulated sugar is a wide range of grinding. You can rub sugar particles with your fingers and compare them with coffee powder particles.

2. Cooking time: generally speaking, the cooking time is between 1 minute and 40 seconds to 2 minutes. The longer the coffee is extracted, the more it will be extracted, and the stronger the coffee will be when the amount of water injected remains the same, but it also increases the risk that the taste will become significantly bitter.

3. Cooking temperature: you will need to adjust your cooking temperature according to the roasting degree of your coffee beans. You can refer to the following data on how to adjust:

Shallow baking: 90-92 degrees Celsius

Medium and shallow baking: 87-90 degrees Celsius

Moderate baking: 85-87 degrees Celsius

Medium and deep baking: 83-85 degrees Celsius

Deep baking: 80-83 degrees Celsius

Generally speaking, the baking degree is marked on the outer packaging of coffee beans. If you think the coffee brewed at a temperature has an obvious sense of bitterness, you can try to lower the water temperature. If it is too light and the taste is thin, you can try to increase the water temperature slightly. 2 degrees at a time is a good choice.

4. With regard to the amount of water injected (water powder ratio): the ratio between the amount of water you are going to inject and the coffee powder you use is the water ratio, and adjusting this ratio can easily change the concentration of your coffee liquid. If you are using an average or entry-level bean grinder and are just learning to flush by hand, it is safer to use a ratio of water and powder between 12:1 and 14:1 (that is, 15g of powder is injected with 180g-210g of water). You can ensure that the coffee is not prone to bitterness while ensuring a sufficient concentration of coffee.

5. The law of hand brewing: in general, in the case of a fixed amount of powder and the ratio of water to powder, the higher the water temperature, the longer the time, and the finer the degree of grinding will bring out more substances in the coffee and the stronger the coffee. Show a more complete coffee flavor, but the more bitter. Therefore, you need to try a few more times to find a balance.
