What is the ratio of coffee powder to water in a French press pot? How to use the press pot to make iced coffee? How fine is the grind to use?
To be reasonable, among all the coffee utensils, Qianjie's favorite is the French press pot. Why? Because its operation is very simple, and it can easily make a delicious cup of coffee without any rigorous water injection techniques and complex variable control. It is simply too comfortable (the key is that it is still very cheap).
But then again, Qianjie found that most of the tutorials for making French pressed coffee were shared on making hot coffee, and few were on making iced coffee. In this hot weather, Qianjie believes that everyone would prefer a cup of refreshing and cold iced coffee to relieve the heat. So! Today, Qianjie will come to share how to use the French press pot to make a cup of strong and delicious iced coffee!

The coffee extraction method of the French press pot is soak type! There are two advantages to immersion extraction. The first is that it has a high fault tolerance rate. During the soaking process, when the concentrations of coffee and liquid tend to be consistent, the escape rate of substances in the coffee will slow down, so no matter how extreme the parameters we use, we don't have to worry too much about the coffee being overextracted. problem.
The second is that without any rigorous water injection method, making a good cup of coffee is as simple as making a cup of tea. We just need to set the parameters, then pour water and coffee powder into the pot and soak them. When the time is up, we can strain out a delicious cup of coffee.
If we want to use a press pot to make a cup of strong iced coffee, we first need to use it to make a pot of hot coffee with a higher concentration! Because the French press pot makes iced coffee in the same way as hand-brewed, ice cubes are needed to cool down quickly. The ice cubes will continue to melt while cooling the coffee, which will dilute the concentration of the coffee. If the concentration of the coffee we brew and filter is not high enough, then after being diluted by the water melted by the ice cubes, the coffee will become faint and thin, and it will taste like a cup of coffee-flavored water. So we need to brew a pot of high-strength coffee so that we can offset the diluting effect of the ice cubes.
In the same way as hand-brewed coffee, if we want to make a cup of high-strength coffee, all we need to do is adjust the parameters. The ratio of powder to water is the main object of our adjustment. By using less water for extraction, the concentration of the coffee can be increased. However, in order to prevent insufficient extraction, we also need to increase the water temperature, fine grinding, or extend the extraction time, add stirring, etc. to improve the extraction efficiency.
Next, Qianjie will share with you through practical operations how to use the French press pot to make a cup of strong and delicious iced coffee!
If you want to drink a cup of sweet and sour iced coffee on a hot summer day, Qianjie recommends using some medium and lightly roasted coffee beans with a deeper fermentation degree. For example, sun exposure, honey treatment, and anaerobic treatment. The coffee beans used in Qianjie this time are Qianjie Boundary Estate·Xizhao in the bean list. The iced coffee made with it will have a very explosive juice feeling and the flavor of grapes, passion fruits and apricots. Very prominent! The extraction parameters are as follows: amount of powder used: 15g (adjusted according to the size of your own pressure pot) powder and water ratio: 1:10 Grinding degree: 9 scale of Ek43, 85% sieve rate of No. 20 screen, fine granulated sugar. Extraction water temperature: 100°C Soaking time: 9 minutes The steps are as follows: ①: First, pour all the coffee powder and appropriate amount of boiling water into the French press pot, and stir with any tool for about 10 rounds. Then start counting and wait for four minutes.
②: After four minutes, use any tool to press the floating coffee powder into the water, and then wait again! The waiting time this time is five minutes.
③: After five minutes, we can put the lid on the French press pot and push the filter to the coffee level.
④: After completing the above steps, we take out a cup filled with ice cubes (the ice cubes used here on the Front Street are 120 grams), and then slowly pour the coffee on the ice cubes. The purpose of this is to reduce the fine powder poured out so that the taste will not be too rough.
When the coffee is almost poured, we finally take out any tools to stir the coffee, and then we can start to enjoy the rich, delicious, refreshing and refreshing iced coffee ~
