Can I make a latte with hanging ears? How to make milk coffee with hanging ears? How to adjust the extraction efficiency? What does the grinding degree of beans affect?

"under limited conditions, we will hope to give full play to the maximum value of the materials around us to meet our needs. if there are no conditions, then create conditions! so, how can we use earbags to make a good latte?" A guest friend asked in this way towards the street.

As we all know, a latte is a cup of milk coffee made from espresso. Because the concentration of the coffee base is extremely high, even if a large amount of milk is added, the taste of the coffee will not be masked. Also because of the existence of a large amount of milk, the bitter taste of coffee can be diluted, mellow while high sweet without bitterness, it can be said that it is a coffee product suitable for both young and old. Therefore, we can know that milk and high concentration coffee are two indispensable ingredients for making a sweet latte. The former is easy to get, and the crux of the problem lies in the latter! In a broad sense, the latte is based on a pressurized extraction from an Italian coffee machine, that is, concentrated. If we do not rely on espresso machines, we also need mocha pots and hand pressurized extraction appliances to produce similar high concentrations of coffee.

The hanging earbag can be said to be a simple version of hand-brewed coffee, because of the pursuit of convenience, the coffee powder will be ground in advance and then loaded into the hanging earbag. In this way, the grinding step can be omitted during the current punching, and because it is small and easy to carry, it is very convenient to hang up the ear in all aspects.

If it is to brew a cup of good black coffee, then hanging ears can be done perfectly! But the problem is to use hanging ears to make a good cup of milk coffee. This is more than a little more difficult!

There are two difficult places, one is the way of extraction! The extraction methods that can be used in the ear bag are trickling filter and immersion, and their extraction efficiency is not as high as that of the pressurized one; the second is the degree of grinding, and the influence of the particle size of coffee powder on the extraction efficiency is the most important! Because the earbag is pre-grinding, the manufacturer has fixed the grinding degree at the time of production!

In other words, our extraction will be greatly restricted! Not only the extraction efficiency is not high, but also the grinding can not be changed! Under such restrictions, can we really use earbags to make a cup of milk coffee as delicious as a latte?

Like a latte, that must be impossible! Under such restrictions, it is almost impossible to make a cup of coffee as high as espresso. Therefore, we need to reduce the concentration of coffee a little bit, make a cup of milk coffee which is closer to the latte, it is still possible!

How to make good milk coffee with hanging ears? To make a cup of coffee with high concentration, we need to enlarge the ratio of powder to water, reduce the amount of water used for extraction, and make the narrow space contain more coffee substances! This also means that in addition to grinding, the amount of water will also be limited. Trickle extraction is obviously impossible, after all, there is too little water, so we can only use immersion and improve the extraction parameters other than grinding and water volume. And the remaining extraction parameters that can be increased are only water temperature and time! But even if we use boiling hot water for extraction, the temperature of the hot water will be quickly captured by coffee powder because of the small amount of water. If we want to let the hot water extract more coffee in this case, we can only prolong the soaking time! Obviously, no one wants to go through a long wait for a latte! So there are only two ways to make espresso with hanging ears in a short time!

The first one is to add stirring! By stirring, we can bring out the flavor substances forcefully and quickly, so as to get a cup of high concentration coffee in a short time. Then Qianjie will show you how to make a cup of coffee with hanging ears. I almost forgot! If you want a small amount of hot water to extract more substances, then the increase in the amount of powder is absolutely essential! 20g powder will be used here in Qianjie, and then 60ml liquid will be extracted. The ear in front of the street is 10g a pack, that is, we need to use 2 packets of ears! (it is better to have deep-roasted coffee beans, which will taste more full-bodied)

Take out 2 bags of ears, tear open the seal, and pour all the coffee powder into the prepared container! (preferably with a diversion port, don't lose the ear bag! )

Then we boil the hot water to 100 °C and pour into the cup! Powder to water ratio at 1:5, that is, 20g coffee powder to pour into 100ml boiled water! (coffee powder absorbs twice as much water as it does, so it can eventually get coffee liquid around 60ml.)

Then we press the timing button and start the clock! And take out the stirring stick and stir for 30 seconds! In order to bring out the flavor substances in the coffee quickly! After stirring, soak for a minute and a half.

When the time comes, we will take out the inner ear bag, which is this small white bag, and then put it on another cup.

Then pour all the coffee in the pot and filter out the coffee grounds.

When the coffee liquid is oozing out, you will successfully get a high concentration of coffee! Then, according to the demand, we can pour cold milk or hot milk, with a ratio of 1 to 3 to 4. In this way, a cup of milk coffee made with hanging ears is finished, and it can be drunk after mixing well.

Of course, in addition to the mixing method, we can also use the well-known up main microwave oven heating method! Prepare a heated container, then pour in the coffee powder and boiling water (in the same proportion), then put it in the microwave oven and heat it continuously. After heating, filter out! In this way, you can also get a cup of high concentration coffee in a short time! But it should be noted that it is best not to heat the milk together, because it will destroy the lactose and reduce the sweetness of the milk.
