Comparison of the performance of coffee hand mill and electric bean mill is there a big difference in flavor between hanging-ear coffee and hand-brewed coffee?

If you want to talk about the choice between hand rush and hanging ear, as a half barista, I do not hesitate to choose hand rush, how can I compare the flavor with my hand? As previously introduced in the front street, the formal hand flushing uses freshly ground coffee beans and filter cups, which can not be compared with the ears of pre-ground coffee beans.

"I'd rather not drink coffee than pre-ground coffee! "

Let's share a real personal experience. In the first two weeks, I left Guangzhou and returned to a small county town because of the Spring Festival. As a coffee maker who can't leave coffee every day, it's reasonable to have handmade equipment at home.

The equipment is also standard in the middle. Hario's V60 filter cup, hand punch pot, kono filter paper and Tiamo thermometer are almost the same as the cooking utensils used in Qianjie stores. Grinding beans is the use of a 800 yuan hand mill (bought four years ago as a high-end position), after the purchase of half a year is also often used, quite easy to use, and then less at home, also sealed.

Since there is equipment at home, just bring some coffee beans home. Try to make a cup of coffee to satisfy your craving on the day you go back. But something was wrong during the rush, and half of the baristas, who had seen the performance of the powder layer caused by various reasons, quickly judged that the fine powder deposition blocked the water hole, resulting in a slow launching speed, and then made an on-the-spot adjustment.

Although the coffee still shows excellent flavor (the beans are good), it lacks a lot of detailed flavor and plumpness compared with the ones brewed in the store. To show you the state of the powder pit, the coarse particles visible to the naked eye on the surface of the pit can still be seen on the wall of the filter cup, and of course there are more at the bottom.

This situation is that the distribution of coffee particles mentioned in Qianjie is not concentrated, and the proportion of fine powder and coarse powder is very high. if this situation is normal, it will have a thin taste and a heavy flavor. If it had been me four years ago, I might have thought this cup of coffee was great, because I had never tried anything better, and when I used an extremely evenly ground bean grinder, I couldn't go back. Of course, Qianjie has also shared the solution to this kind of situation in the previous article-"the performance of the bean grinder is too bad, can there be a way to make coffee when the coffee powder is uneven?" "

This method was developed based on the hand grinding state, and of course, the next day, I also used this method to adjust the grinding particles. The performance of the cooking, especially the detail flavor, has improved a lot, but it is still different from that of the EK in the store. This is not the point, the point is that the coffee that could have been brewed in 5 minutes takes 15 minutes. Originally, the time of the Spring Festival was clearly arranged by my elders, and every minute of it seemed particularly precious, so I chose to grind beans to make hanging ears in the coffee shop in the county (I have to sigh that the coffee shop in the small county is so high that EK is almost standard).

In fact, the main reason why I choose to hang the ear instead of grinding the powder back to hand is that the biggest difference between the ear and the hand is the pre-grinding and the present grinding, and the pre-grinding is washed with a filter cup or with a hanging ear, which has little impact on me. And hanging ear is more convenient, no weight of powder, no washing filter cup. This is a real experience when I went home for the Spring Festival this year. It used to be romantic to grind coffee by hand, but now it is torture. On the other hand, if I choose to continue to use this hand mill to make coffee, or choose to hang up the ear is more delicious. From this we understand a truth, as long as you have not tried better, it is the best at present, as long as you have not used EK, the hand mill is also quite easy to use.
