Mocha pot coffee bean recommendations| How fine and how much powder should be used for grinding? What parameter ratios do I need to use to make milk with Mocha pot coffee?

I believe that many friends were like Qianjie when they first started, and didn't know how to choose coffee beans. Therefore, when buying beans, they often ask the clerk for recommendations for coffee beans based on the coffee utensils they purchased. For example, recently, friends who have bought mocha pots often ask customer service at the Taobao store on Qianjie: "Do you have any recommendations for mocha pot coffee beans? "

To be reasonable, no matter what appliance you use, it's the same. How to choose coffee beans depends on what kind of coffee you want. What do you want to make is a cup of milk coffee? Still black coffee with nothing added. Depending on the purpose, the focus will be different, and the adaptability of the coffee beans will naturally change accordingly. It doesn't matter! Today, Qianjie will come to share what kind of coffee beans we should choose to make mocha pot coffee in the face of different needs. Then what kind of grinding and what amount of powder should be used to make a delicious mocha pot coffee.

Making milk coffee... If the coffee you want to make from a mocha pot is milk coffee, it's best to choose a slightly deeper roast coffee beans. There are two reasons. The first is that the taste of coffee can be stronger. When the coffee beans are roasted deeper, the taste of the coffee will become more intense due to the more complete caramelization reaction. At the same time, because the degree of roasting is deeper, the sour taste of the coffee will be worn down and covered up. After making milk coffee, there will be no sudden acid in the coffee, and it can well compete with the taste of milk. The burnt aroma of the coffee will not be easily concealed by the taste of milk.

Secondly, there will be more fat! Although the richness of oil does not mean anything, nor is it related to the taste and quality of coffee, many friends just want coffee to have a layer of golden oil. Then in this case, a deeper roast coffee bean would be a good choice. Because when the coffee beans are roasted deeper, the carbon dioxide content in the body will be higher, and the extracted coffee oil will be richer.

If the coffee you want is as described by Qianjie, which has a strong flavor, no acid, and rich in oil, and can be used to make milk coffee, then medium and deep roasted coffee beans are very suitable. The Front Street Association recommends that everyone choose directly from the Italian style mix category. Because most of the beans in Italian blending have these characteristics (after all, they are blended for Italian style), and the price is very high. The price per pound (454 g) ranges from 50 to 80, which will be better than medium and deep baked single beans are more suitable. For example, the Front Street Italian basic/commercial/boutique/classic blended coffee beans in the Front Street Bean List~

Making black coffee... If the coffee you want to make in a mocha pot is pure/black coffee without adding anything, then the choice of coffee beans becomes diverse. For example, if you want the coffee to be mellow and fragrant, you can choose either the Italian blend series mentioned above on Qianjie, or you can choose Boutique coffee beans such as Qianjie Brazil Queen Estate and Indonesia PWN Golden Mantelin.

And if you want to drink a cup of coffee with a rich aroma of flowers and fruits, sweet and sour taste, and light taste, then medium and light roasted coffee beans will be more suitable. Shallowly roasted coffee will retain more aromas of flowers and fruits, and at the same time these aromas will not be covered too much by burnt aroma. Coffee beans processed in different production areas will have different flavors. For example, Qianjie Essi Huakui in Qianjie Bean List. Its flavor is mainly tropical fruits. The mocha pot coffee made with it will have the sour and sour performance of citrus, berries, and apricots; or Qianjie Kenya·small tomato in Qianjie Bean List. Although the coffee made with it will be relatively sour, this acid is bright and easy to taste. It is the unique sour aroma of black plum and young tomato; There are also Front Street, Poquet Rose Summer, Boundary Estate·Hizhao, etc., which are often mentioned on Front Street, which are all very good choices~

What kind of grind and what amount of powder do you need to use to make a mocha pot coffee? When making mocha pot coffee, there is no need to pay too much attention to the amount of powder. We can just fill the powder bowl directly or use the officially recommended amount of powder to make it. The degree of grinding needs to be a little more particular, especially if you want to make milk coffee. In the article "How to Make a Good" Latte "Coffee with Mocha Pot Coffee", Qianjie mentioned that if you want to use Mocha Pot Coffee to make a latte, then the concentration of this Mocha Pot Coffee should be relatively high and there should not be too much water, otherwise the milk coffee made will taste watery and widowed.

In order to make such a high-concentration coffee, we need to extract the most coffee substances with the least amount of water. The amount of water used in Qianjie is generally 4 times the amount of powder. For example, if you use a single mocha pot. If the powder amount is 20 g, then the water added to the pot is about 80 ml. By limiting the hot water in the pot, we can effectively increase the concentration of coffee. In terms of grinding, we need to use the same degree of grinding as espresso, that is, we can grind the coffee powder into a very fine flour. Because if you want to extract a large amount of flavor substances in a short period of time with a very small amount of water, you need to adjust the grinding degree of the coffee powder to make the powder have higher resistance, which can effectively reduce the speed at which hot water passes through the coffee powder., thereby extracting more abundant substances.

In the article with blue characters above, Qianjie has more detailed practices to share. Interested friends can click to move to view it. Qianjie will not repeat them too much here. Then if everyone makes pure black coffee, the production requirements will be relatively simple. Because we don't need to consider the concentration of black coffee, we can either make a cup of high-concentration mocha coffee and dilute it with water as above, or we can use more water (powder-to-water ratio of 1: 6) with a coarser grind to directly brew a pot of coffee with a lower concentration. If you feel that the concentration is not appropriate after tasting, add a small amount of water to dilute it.
