Black coffee generally refers to coffee without any modification, that is, coffee without sugar, milk and other ingredients.

The advantage of black coffee is that it can better show the unique aroma and flavor of coffee beans, we can feel the purest side of coffee in the process of tasting, and good quality black coffee has an attractive sense of flavor.

The disadvantage is that if the coffee beans that make black coffee are of poor quality, not properly roasted, and not properly extracted, they will be very bitter and difficult to swallow.

Espresso, American coffee, hand-brewed coffee and iced coffee we see in coffee shops are all members of the black coffee family. The difference is the way coffee is extracted.

Hand-brewed coffee is a black coffee brewed by a barista through a hand pulver. after the coffee beans are ground into powder by a grinder, they are steamed and boiled with hot water, and then dripped through filter paper to form a coffee liquid. the taste is mainly determined by different coffee beans, different brewing utensils, water temperature and brewing methods will also affect the flavor of coffee to a certain extent.

When producing hand-brewed coffee, Qianjie coffee is usually made of coffee beans from a single producing area of popular coffee-producing countries. The charm of hand-brewed coffee is that the coffee after a large proportion of dilution and filter paper filtration can show the most primitive flavor of coffee, but also have a clean taste and rich layering.

For example, Qianjie Coffee sells medium-to-light roasted "washed coffee beans from Ethiopia's Yegashafi region", which can show bright acidity like citrus at 1:15 powder-water ratio, medium-fine grinding and hot water brewing at 91 degrees Celsius. Soft fragrance of white flowers, honey sweetness and green tea sweet, sweet and charming.

Compared with the pressurized extraction of deep-roasted coffee beans, the strong American coffee tastes much cleaner and the overall concentration is not high, so it is suitable for those who are new to the coffee.

If you want to drink coffee with obvious sweet and sour taste, Qianjie Coffee recommends you to try light roasted African beans, such as Ethiopia and Kenya; if you want sweet coffee, you are recommended to try moderately roasted beans from Central and South America, such as Panama and Costa Rica; if you want mellow coffee, you are recommended to taste medium-and deep-roasted beans from Asia, such as Indonesia and Yunnan.
