Qianjie-brief introduction to brewing coffee by hand

When coffee becomes a part of life, hand-brewing coffee becomes a concrete manifestation of the ritual of life. From the selection of coffee beans to the grinding of coffee powder, and then to the brewing process, the choice and mode of operation of each link will determine the final flavor and temperature of this cup of coffee, which is a unique feeling that all commercial coffee shops cannot replicate.

The ritual sense of brewing coffee is first reflected in the choice of coffee bean producing areas. You can choose Colombian beans with a balanced flavor, or Brazilian beans with a full taste; if you like strong sour fruit, you can also choose Honduran and Kenyan coffee beans; as the hometown of coffee, Ethiopian coffee beans have a chocolate-like thick taste, full of flowers and fruit flavors.

The first step

Prepare hot water, weighing 18g coffee beans (water ratio 1:15 as an example)

Put the folding filter paper into the filter cup and rinse the filter paper and the filter cup with hot water: the filter paper will taste. To avoid affecting the flavor of the coffee, make the filter paper and the filter cup fit better (one of the key techniques).

The second step

Warm the filter cup and the pot at the same time in order to prevent the coffee from getting cold during the filtration process, and the temperature will affect the flavor of the coffee.

The third step

Grind (the thickness is close to the coarse sugar), pour in the coffee powder and gently pat the filter cup to make the coffee powder uniform and smooth, which is conducive to uniform extraction.

The fourth step

Pour 85-90 degrees hot water (depending on the roasting degree and grinding thickness of the coffee) slowly from the middle of the coffee powder, not on the filter paper (one of the key techniques, trained to perfectly control the size and flow rate of the water). After the coffee powder is basically soaked, and the next pot begins to drip coffee liquid, stop injecting water, and stew for 30-45 seconds (one of the key techniques), the effect of steaming is to release the gas in the coffee (mainly carbon dioxide). After removing the gas, the coffee particles are evenly saturated with water, so that the extraction is uniform, and the coffee powder will expand in appearance.

Step five

At the end of steaming, start in the middle and inject hot water for the first time (you can inject water one or more times). The flow should not be too large / too fast and should be kept continuously, which requires professional training to control the flow perfectly.

At this time, coffee powder will be full of follicles, oil and some soluble substances, aromatic substances will be constantly released, aroma overflowing, intoxicating.

Knowledge: the selection and baking degree of roasted beans of coffee powder will affect the taste of hand-made coffee. You can choose moderate or light roasting according to your personal preference.
