The three-stage extraction is carried out by stewing twice the amount of coffee powder with water, that is, 30 grams of water for 30 seconds, and the reason why the stewing process is needed is to allow the coffee powder to discharge the internal carbon dioxide gas, so as to make the extraction in the latter stage more stable. Water is injected into the filter cup by small water flow in a circle until 125 grams, and then water is injected into the filter cup until 225 grams. After the water drops in the filter cup are finished, the filter cup is removed. The extraction time is 200 "from the beginning of water injection.

Front Street Brewing Coffee Advice:

For coffee brewing, Front Street has always believed that the freshness of coffee beans has a great relationship with the flavor of coffee, so the coffee beans shipped by Front Street Coffee are roasted within 5 days. Front Street Roasters 'motto is "Freshly Roast Good Coffee," so that every customer who orders coffee receives the freshest coffee. Coffee has a growing period of 4-7 days, so when the customer gets it, the flavor is at its best.

For friends who need grinding, the front street reminds you warmly: coffee beans are ground in advance, so there is no need to raise beans, because in the process of transportation, the pressure generated by carbon dioxide in the package can also make the coffee flavor mellow, so you can drink a cup immediately after receiving coffee powder. However, coffee powder needs to be brewed in time, because coffee powder oxidizes faster after contact with air, that is to say, the flavor of coffee will disperse faster, and the flavor of coffee will not be so good. Therefore, Qianjie recommends buying whole beans and grinding them now, so as to better taste the flavor of coffee.

With the advance of fine coffee, Colombia coffee also introduced anaerobic treatment coffee beans on the basis of washing, such as: Colombia flower moonlight, Colombia rose valley, etc., its flavor is more floral, berry and fermented than washing coffee beans, washed coffee beans are cleaner, nuts black with soft fruit acid. Qianjie believes that washed coffee beans are the most local flavor, but the special treatment of coffee beans flavor is also very tasty!
