How about making coffee beans into aroma bracelets? Small amount of coffee brewing teaching! Can I eat coffee beans?

No matter whether the coffee beans you buy are in a 227g pack or a 100g pack, there will always be an amount left in the last bean bag that cannot meet the daily needs of making a pot of coffee. For example, the daily amount of coffee brewed by Qianjie is 15g for a single serving, but at this time there are only 10g or less of coffee beans left in the bean bag. So, the question arises: What will everyone do with the few remaining beans?

Qianjie stores have more than 30 kinds of beans to choose from, so this situation has long become a common occurrence. Naturally, it is impossible to throw it away. That would be too wasteful. Generally speaking, Qianjie will decide the specific use of these beans based on the amount of beans remaining.

Treatment plan 1. Brewing directly If there is a large amount of coffee beans left, for example, about 10g, Qianjie may choose to brew it directly. Because this amount of powder just does not meet the amount we need for daily brewing, it is not impossible to brew directly. However, we need to adjust the parameters before brewing, otherwise it will be difficult to make a pot of delicious coffee. The reason is simple, because the reduction in the amount of powder reduces the thickness of the coffee powder layer, and the penetration rate of hot water will be improved accordingly. In addition, the reduction in the amount of powder will reduce the amount of water used, so the overall extraction efficiency of coffee will be reduced due to the reduced contact between water and coffee powder. If the original parameters or methods are followed, there is a probability that the coffee will be under-extracted.

Then the solution is also very simple. There are two types: one is to directly replace the filter cup with a small amount of powder, such as the V60, which is the "younger"V30. Since the included angle of the V30 filter cup is smaller, the same amount of powder can accumulate a thicker powder bed. This can increase the contact between water and coffee powder, making it easy to get enough extraction even with a small amount of powder (why does it sound a bit like advertising?); The other is to improve the extraction efficiency of other parameters, such as making the water temperature higher, grinding finer, and injecting water in more sections... These methods can effectively increase the extraction rate of coffee and allow coffee to obtain enough extraction ~

Treatment plan 2: Mix coffee beans, but if the remaining beans are small and less than 6 grams, there is no way to directly brew them. At times like this, if you have another bag of other beans in your hand, Qianjie will consume it by blending it. The so-called blending means mixing two different coffee beans together. We can add another bean to make up for the amount of beans needed for one serving, so that there is no need to adjust too much parameters. Make a pot of coffee easily.

Not only that, because other coffee beans are mixed in, the taste and taste of the coffee will be changed. The coffee that comes out is full of randomness and can be said to be a very fresh experience. Therefore, blending coffee beans is also a measure that many friends will take. However, the blending of coffee beans still needs to be careful. Because when the two beans are too different, it is easy to blend into a cup of coffee with a strange taste, especially when the roasting degree of the coffee beans is too different. Therefore, when blending coffee beans, the Front Street Conference recommends that everyone use coffee beans with similar roasting degrees for blending. Of course, you can also choose to buy another pack of the same coffee beans and "match" them on different dates.

Treatment plan 3. Before making coffee bean desserts, a friend mentioned in the comment section that when there were not enough coffee beans in the bag, he would choose to make coffee beans into lemon slices. This is indeed a good suggestion.

Lemon zila is a small snack favorite by the Italian Mafia. It is very simple to make! Just slice the lemon, then sprinkle ground coffee powder and sugar on top of the lemon in turn, and finally roast it. The specific production can be learned from this article → "How to Make Lemon Slice", not on the front street. I will repeat it too much here ~

The only thing to note is that the coffee beans used to make lemon slices should not be too hard and ground too rough. Otherwise, the taste will be slightly worse when chewing.

Treatment plan 4. In addition to being eaten, coffee beans can also be used to make various ornaments, decorations or functional ornaments such as aromatherapy. These are all popular coffee beans in recent years. Then there are no chestnuts for reference here on the front street, because they are relatively lazy... Everyone can search for tutorials online and do it yourself ~
