How to use the coffee press to brew the Colombian cherry blossom coffee flavor

For centuries, people have brewed coffee in a variety of ways and invented a variety of coffee machines to make coffee quickly and cleanly. This time the front street to talk about a very convenient, suitable for any one person to operate coffee brewing appliances-French press pot.

French Press (French Press)

The French press is a simple brewing apparatus that originated in France around 1850 and consists of a Pyrex bottle body (or transparent plastic) and a metal filter with a pressure rod. It could not only make tea and coffee, but also make milk bubbles. It was simply an existence like a divine artifact! Soak the way, through the full contact of water and coffee powder stewing method, to release the essence of coffee, simple and convenient also do not pay attention to technology.

The method of making coffee is to completely soak the coffee in the pot, and then use a press rod with a metal filter to separate the coffee from the coffee grounds. This brewing method gives a very good coffee mellow feeling, which can increase the texture and grease, and the final coffee is quite clean. Compared with the skills of brewing coffee, such as brewing steams, skills, etc., the brewing method of the French press pot does not require too many skills, and there are many places that can be overridden, so Qianjie feels that the French press pot is very suitable for every coffee lover.

Notes on the French press pot

aggressiveness number

The method presses the pot to make the coffee to want to grind the degree to adjust coarsely some, the general white granulated sugar particle size may. If the grinding degree is too fine, too much ultrafine powder will pass through the metal filter, making the coffee not so clean and affecting the taste. The grinding degree used in the front street recommended method press pot is the size of coarse granulated sugar.

warm kettle

Qianjie suggested to remember to warm the pot with hot water before brewing, because it is made of glass material, if you do not warm the pot first, the water temperature will drop faster.

Front Street Coffee Press Tutorial

This time Front Street uses the cherry blossoms of Paradise Manor in Colombia to demonstrate the method of pressing pots.

powder-water ratio

Coffee brewing ratio is the ratio of coffee and water, common brewing ratio from 1:13-1:15, 1:13 means that 15 grams of coffee needs to be brewed with 195 grams of water. If you want to use the French press at home, you can adjust the brewing ratio according to your own taste. Front Street Coffee uses a 1:13 grind this time.

Brewing water temperature

For different degrees of roasting coffee beans, the temperature of the water taken will also be adjusted. The recommended temperature for hand brewed coffee is between 86-93℃. However, the values selected in different regions will be different, such as Japan will choose a lower water temperature, because they like immersion extraction, such extraction method should not use a higher water temperature. In the front street, it is recommended that the water temperature of the beans cooked deeply should be lower. It is recommended to be between 86-88℃. Because the beans baked deeply are loose, the water absorption efficiency is high, and it is easy to extract. If the water temperature is too high, it is easy to have bitter and scorched taste. Brewing shallow baked beans is recommended for 90-93℃, with higher water temperature can extract the aroma and acid of shallow baked beans (flower and fruit acid), because the beans of shallow baked beans are harder, increase the water temperature can increase the extraction efficiency of coffee powder, avoid the appearance of acid and other unpleasant flavor. Medium baking can choose 88-90℃. The Colombia cherry blossoms used in this front street are medium-light baked and brewed using 91-92 degrees water temperature.

1. Preheat the pot with warm water; pour the ground coffee powder into the pot, and then inject 195ml of hot water (91℃), the amplitude of water injection can be larger (about 3 seconds to complete injection), let the coffee powder tumble, improve the extraction efficiency.

2. After filling, pull up the strainer, cover the pot and wait 4 minutes.

3. After four minutes, gently press the filter rod down to 1/4 of the pot body to prevent the fine powder at the bottom from flowing to the top.

4. Pour the coffee into the prepared cup and enjoy!

Compared with the brewing from the filter cup, the French press pot is filtered through a metal filter, which has a larger pore size than the general filter paper, so it can retain some coffee fat. The method pressure pot brewing can reflect the full juice of this coffee, and the overall flavor will be more concentrated.
