Handbrewing Coffee tutorial: practical skills for handbrewing Coffee & how does control the flow of hand brewing coffee?

After reading the title... Please remove my monitor! It is believed that these are all the problems encountered by the little friends who have just come into contact with hand-made coffee. At this time, we need to adjust the cooking position! Adjust the position of the kettle!

(no)

First, let's find out what other problems will be involved in the adjustment object.

If the position is not correct, the opponent will use the wrong force, the hand will shake when holding the pot with the wrong force, and when the hand will shake, the water can not be injected vertically. If the water cannot be injected vertically, it will not circle ~ mm-hmm! It's probably just like that.

The posture of cooking is very important!

Not long ago, a little friend shared that he was sitting at home making coffee, how to make it and why it didn't taste good. Sitting? Sitting and making coffee must not taste good, duck!

First of all, sitting will make your line of sight nearly parallel to the filter cup, at this time you need to stick your head out to look inside the filter cup. When your body needs to lean forward and deliberately raise the angle of your arms, pick up a hand flushing pot with a certain weight and fill it with water. both arms and wrists will be tired! So the hands will start to shake. I just mentioned the follow-up effects of hand shaking, so a step to make a good cup of coffee is to stand up!

When making coffee with your hands, choose a table flush with your waist as far as possible. it is suggested that your feet stagger slightly (slightly), with your left foot in front, and focus on your left foot.

Choose a handy handle for flushing the pot.

Adjust the position of holding the pot!

There are many handheld designs in the market, choosing a handy hand can help you save a lot of effort! Before buying, you can go to the coffee shop and ask the owner if you can shake your hand and flush the pot to see which kind of handle is easy to hold.

The selected hand flushing pot itself should not be too heavy / too light. It is recommended to buy a hand flushing pot with a capacity of 600ml (the net weight of the kettle is about 400g-480g). If you add water to the 350ml-400ml or cook it, it will not cause unstable water flow or muscle soreness due to excessive weight.

Take the kettle posture suggestion: hold the pot in your right hand, spread your arms, and move down slightly parallel to your shoulders (key point: just slightly). If the arm is too saggy, the point of strength concentrated on the wrist will not make the strength, it is easy to cause muscle soreness and then start to shake hands. Beginner hand coffee may be one-handed hold the pot unstable, you can use the left hand to "pinch" the lid to assist the stability of water injection.

Stand still and hold it steady!

How to let the water flow vertically?

In general, it is easiest to keep the water column vertical by adding water to the hand flushing pot with a capacity of 60% and 70%. That's for sure! The shape of the spout can also affect the water column, such as the olecranon kettle (the spout is hooked down) to make it easier to control vertical water injection.

Some straight spouts that are easy to parabola water injection require more solid basic skills. Friends who have just come into contact with the hand should patiently practice the slow circle of vertical water flow! When you are proficient, you can naturally speed up the winding while keeping the current vertical.

Hold on, stand still, and the current is vertical!

Why is it round or round?

Non-circular circles during water injection will lead to uneven thickness of the powder bed, and the final coffee liquid will be extracted unevenly.

In the process of water injection, it is found that there are generally three situations in which the circle is not round: first, because the table is too high (so stand up and cook! ) or because it is too short, the field of vision is limited; the second is that the posture is wrong and the body is close to the edge of the table, which limits the position of the right hand; and the third is to inject water around the wrist, so that the kettle will be high and low, and the water column is easy to be unstable. it's also prone to circle offset. Correctly use the arm to move straight around instead of throwing water into the wrist.
