Prepare basic brewing equipment

There are actually a lot of choices for hand coffee brewing appliances, but if you are a beginner, you only need to put in the simplest brewing utensils at first, and then add them according to your preference.

Bean grinder:

Starting with a good quality "grinding bean grinder", the price is not necessarily proportional to the grinding quality, but only by choosing a bean mill with better bean grinding uniformity can we have the opportunity to make coffee with uniform extraction and correct flavor.

Electronic scale:

Like baking, in order to accurately brew and replicate the flavor of brewed coffee, it is necessary to master the correct extraction rate, and the electronic scale is a necessary tool. It is best to choose an electronic scale with a sensitivity of 0.1 grams to help you accurately master each cooking process.

Hand flush pot:

Beginners recommend using a thin-nosed pot, which can flexibly control the speed of water flow and the size of the water injection, and even the way the coffee powder rolls when brewing.

Filter cup:

Hand filter cups have different shapes, sizes, number of holes and different materials. Each coffee fan has different views on their favorite styles. In a word, as long as they can master the principles and skills of hand-brewing coffee extraction, any style is fine.

Filter the material:

The material filtered in the filter cup can be divided into cloth, paper and metal. It is recommended that beginners use the most common filter paper. Apart from the convenience of discarding it with coffee grounds at one time, it is also recognized that there is the least sediment in coffee. At the same time, it can filter out the coffee oil.

Extraction method of hand-made coffee

Prepare in advance:

Boil a pot of boiling water

Take appropriate amount of coffee beans for grinding (medium roughness)

Recommended ratio of coffee powder to water: (1:15)

Flushing filter paper:

First of all, put the filter cup on top of the mug or kettle, put the filter paper into the filter cup and rinse the filter paper with hot water to reduce the excessive smell of some filter paper itself into the coffee and preheat the brewing apparatus at the same time. And then pour out the water in it.

Make and cook:

Put the coffee powder into the filter paper, gently shake the filter cup to make the coffee powder appear horizontal, evenly inject a small amount of hot water that happens to soak the coffee powder, and let the coffee powder "steam" for about 30 to 60 seconds. This step can retain the aroma and acidity of the coffee. Then inject hot water again, let the gesture move slowly outward from the center around the concentric spiral, move to the outermost, and then slowly circle to the center. Repeat this action to reach the above-mentioned proportion of water, then stop injecting water, wait until the filtered water has roughly flowed, and then remove the filter cup to enjoy coffee.

Effects of different parameters and Flavor of hand Coffee

If you are a beginner, you need to have a period of practice on the water flow, water temperature and time control of hand-brewed coffee, during which you learn to adjust the intensity and adjust the best flavor according to the roasting degree of different coffee beans.
