Last Updated: 2026/08/04, Before we start today's topic, let me ask you weakly: when you drank coffee for the first time, did you think that drinking coffee was the same as drinking instant coffee? Do you think that you can drink coffee powder by putting it in boiling water and soaking it (like making tea)? When my friend A Yu heard me ask, he replied, "Yes, the first time I had coffee."

Before starting today's topic, I would like to ask you weakly: When you first drank coffee, did you think that the way you drank coffee was the same as drinking instant coffee?

Do you think you can drink coffee powder by putting it in boiling water and soaking it (like making tea)?

When my friend Ayu heard me ask, he replied,"Yes, the first time I drank coffee was a bag of coffee beans from my dad's friend." I ground it into coffee powder and put it in water, and I ended up drinking my mouth full of dregs."

My heart ached for Ah Yu for two seconds, haha.

In fact, a long time ago, coffee brewing method is not like now, there are so many ways, people usually grind coffee powder and brew directly, this way of coffee will often drink coffee grounds, greatly affecting the taste experience of coffee. Therefore, everyone will start to pay attention to the "pursuit of taste".

Coffee is generally made by five methods: brewing, pressure, gravity, leaching, ice brewing. Coffee different production methods, different roasting degree, determines the different grinding degree.

I believe that everyone here has the habit of making their own coffee. Some friends like Italian coffee machines, while others like to use relatively simple, convenient, and easy to use hand flushing tools or pressing pots.

Anyway, cough cough.

I wonder if you have ever tried,"forgot to ask the store to help grind beans, want to go to the nearby cafe to ask for help grinding, but do not know how much grinding degree is embarrassing situation?" "How do you keep the ground coffee powder? Should I put it in the refrigerator?"

What's that? Not sure? It doesn't matter, let's keep looking down ~

In fact, regarding the degree of grinding, I will give a simple example: if you are currently using a French press, then the grinding of coffee powder needs to be coarser ~ because the coffee particles increase to avoid excessive extraction ~ and also better filter the coffee particles.

Key points: different baking degree beans, different production equipment, beans have different grinding degree application range.

The grind of coffee beans needs to be "bean-specific".

About coffee powder preservation:

·No matter coffee beans/coffee powder, everyone should avoid putting it in direct sunlight. Because the high temperature will speed up the release of coffee flavor, so that the taste of this cup of coffee greatly reduced!

However, we should also pay attention to whether the location of storage is wet. Because humid environment will easily breed bacteria! Such storage will make coffee have a musty taste and will also affect human health. Generally speaking, it is kept in a cool, ventilated and dry place.

Coffee beans can be stored in the original package, but coffee powder is recommended to be stored in a completely sealed container.

First, because the oxidation rate of coffee powder is n times faster than coffee beans; secondly, if there is a little bit of sealing when it is placed in the original packaging, the flavor will desperately "slip" out! You know the consequences of losing flavor.

Okay, although there's a lot of chatter today, in fact, in the end, the most ideal way for everyone to buy coffee beans and drink coffee is to drink it freshly ~ drink it within the taste appreciation period ~ if it really can't, then drink it in a short time ~

I hope everyone has fun with coffee ~
