What kind of coffee do people who know coffee usually drink? At present, the mainstream coffee drinks in coffee shops are hand-brewed coffee, cold-extracted coffee and espresso products, which are all favorite coffee products for people who know coffee.

Hand-brewed coffee is the coffee liquid extracted from hot water through natural gravity through the proper grinding of coffee powder, which is characterized by a clean, clear taste and a layered feel.

Cold extracted coffee is suitable for grinding coffee powder directly mixed with cold water, then refrigerated and extracted for 8-12 hours, characterized by clean, full taste and obvious fruit sweetness.

Espresso is a coffee powder that flows quickly through ultra-fine grinding in a pressurized environment, and a small amount of coffee liquid with high extraction concentration is characterized by strong, mellow taste and small amount.

To make hand-brewed coffee and cold-extracted coffee, coffee shops usually use single-product coffee beans, that is, coffee beans from a single producing area (not a single variety of coffee beans) to make Italian coffee, and coffee shops usually use blended coffee beans, that is, coffee beans from multiple producing areas are blended in different proportions.

What is individual coffee?

In 1978, Ms. Erna Knutsen put forward the concept of boutique coffee at the International Coffee Conference in France. She described boutique coffee "Specialty Coffee" as "growing coffee beans with regional flavor under the unique microclimate and geographical conditions of the producing areas".

According to this definition, Qianjie Coffee believes that one of the characteristics of boutique coffee is the traceable flavor of producing areas, and different producing areas produce different flavors of producing areas due to different local microclimate and planting conditions. this is the greatest charm of single coffee.

Without any ingredients, it can also show the unique coffee flavor of a producing area. For example, when Qianjie Coffee tests coffee beans in Essex plus Chevy, the theme is mainly citrus-like sour and tea-like sweet; for example, when testing Mantenin coffee beans in Sumatra, Indonesia, the theme is mainly herbaceous and spicy.

Single-product coffee is suitable for the production of hand-brewed coffee and cold-extracted coffee because of the large proportion of extraction in these two methods. If you want to taste the unique flavor level of individual coffee beans, you need a certain degree of dilution, not the thicker the better.

How do you make coffee by hand?

Qianjie Coffee maker hand-brewed coffee pays great attention to the freshness of coffee beans, so all coffee beans sold online are sent out within 5 days. Only freshly roasted coffee beans can reflect more coffee aroma.

For light-to medium-roasted coffee beans, Qianjie will grind coffee beans with medium-fine particles (the screening rate of China 20 standard sieve is 75-80%), with a V60 filter cup and hot water at 90-91 degrees Celsius. Boil in the proportion of powdered water at 1:15 (15g coffee powder into 225g hot water).

For medium and deep roasted coffee beans, Qianjie will grind coffee beans with coarse particles (the screening rate of China 20 standard sieve is 65-70%), match them with kono filter cup and hot water at 88-89 degrees Celsius, and cook them in the proportion of powdered water at 1:15 (15g coffee powder is poured into 225g hot water).

How do you make cold coffee?

In the production of cold-extracted coffee, because it is difficult to extract the mellow substance of coffee at low temperature, Qianjie coffee will choose coffee beans with obvious sweet and sour feeling.

Qianjie will grind coffee beans with fine particles (the screening rate of China No. 20 standard sieve is 75-80%). With a powder-to-water ratio of 1:10, add 30g (1-2 person parts) to 300g cold water / ice water, and stir until the coffee powder is fully soaked, then put it in the refrigerator and refrigerate and extract for 8-12 hours.

What are blended coffee beans?

Blended coffee, also known as mixed coffee, is to mix a variety of individual coffee beans together, so as to give full play to the strengths of various individual coffee beans, blended beans from different areas of coffee beans mixed to make a more balanced taste.

Coffee is a kind of crop, so even if it is the same kind of coffee bean, its flavor will be different from year to year, so mixing several kinds of coffee beans can solve this problem very well. when a coffee bean in the mix falls short of expectations or is in short supply in the new season, it can be adjusted by replacing coffee beans with similar flavor.

So one of the advantages of matching is high stability and better consistency.

How do you make espresso?

Qianjie Coffee chose blending as the product of espresso in the store. Currently using a coffee bean treated in a sherry barrel and a sun-treated red cherry called "Qianjie-sunflower blend of coffee beans".

At 7:3, 70% of the Honduran sherry barrel coffee beans provide flavor and mellow thickness, and 30% of the sun Yega Sheffield provides more aroma and acidity.

If it is the initial stage, Qianjie Coffee recommends an intermediate extraction parameter, you can adjust the data according to the coffee taste performance: extract 40g coffee liquid with 20g powder at 1:2-9bar pressure for 25-30 seconds. According to the flavor performance of the coffee after the actual extraction, the coffee was adjusted accordingly.

After the espresso extraction is completed, add the right amount of milk, that is, latte; add the right amount of water, is American coffee; add the right amount of milk and dense milk foam, that is, cappuccino coffee.
