It can be said to be very practical. (The same goes for French pressing pots.) Not only that, because the water can be controlled, Smart Cup has many ways to play.

I have to say that Qian Jie really likes Smart Cup too much. It is simple and convenient to make good coffee, and you can also use it to make tea in your spare time. It can be said to be very practical. (The same goes for French pressing pots)

Not only that, because the launch can be controlled, Smart Cup has many ways to play. In addition to extracting coffee with a soak type, we can also use it as an ordinary filter cup and use a drip type to extract coffee. Of course, if you want to spend a little more, you can also use a mixed brewing method that combines drip filtering with soaking. Qianjie has also shared many brewing plans. What Qianjie wants to share today is also a brewing plan for Smart Cup. This plan was written by James Hoffman, the great coffee god. It is a very interesting plan. It not only makes it easier and easier for us to brew a cup of coffee, and the sweetness of the coffee is also very high. It is very suitable for newcomers who are just getting started, or friends who can brew coffee without going through complex processes!

A Smart Cup Brewing Scheme that Makes Coffee "Sweeter than First Love" Like most schemes, this scheme also uses finer grinding and extremely high water temperature to make coffee in a short time. However, the difference is that the order of adding coffee and hot water will be different. We will use the "post-injection method", that is, an operation sequence of heating water first and then adding powder.

It can be said that the "post-injection method" is an exclusive operation of immersion extraction. After all, it is necessary to pour hot water first and then pour powder, so it is basically not suitable for drip extraction. Common in siphon pot, method press pot, love press, or smart cup coffee production. The subsequent casting method will have different effects in different coffee making! Like using the post-drop method in making smart cups of coffee, we can make the taste of the coffee softer and reduce clogging when entering the water. So without saying much, I will let Qianjie share this simple and easy plan to make good coffee.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. If you want to make high-sweet coffee, you naturally cannot lack a bean with a high sweetness. The beans used to brew Qianjie this time are Qianjie Grana Manor·Rose Summer in Qianjie flagship store. It will have the full sweet aroma of cooked fruit and have a high sweetness. With this plan, we can easily Get a cup of high-sweet coffee that is "sweeter than first love"~ the extraction plan is as follows:

Amount of powder used: 20g powder-to-water ratio: 1:15 Brewing water temperature: 95°C Grinding degree: 90% sieving rate of No. 20 sieve, soaking time of two gears: 3 minutes. Many friends may see such a high water temperature and such a fine grinding may worry about over-extracting coffee. But don't worry ~ Coffee is not so easy to overextract, especially immersion extraction. When the liquid in the filter cup reaches a certain concentration, the extraction rate will drop significantly. Moreover, our extraction time is only a short two minutes, so don't worry about overextracting.

Since the amount of powder used in Qianjie is 20g, we need to inject 300ml of hot water into the smart cup based on the ratio of 1:15.

After pouring the hot water, we immediately poured in the coffee powder, and then took out a mixing tool to stir.

Stir for about 20 seconds to allow for 2 minutes to stand and soak.

After the soaking time is up, we can take out the stirring tool and stir it briefly, and then we can open the valve to release the coffee liquor. When the drip filtration is completed, the coffee is finished!

The total time was three minutes! Because it is a soaking extraction, the taste of the Grana rose summer soaked in this way is very solid, smooth and full. The taste is equally outstanding and balanced, and then the sweetness is very high. We can drink obvious apricots, berries, and citrus fruits from it. It is very good.

If everyone stirs before opening the valve, then when the coffee liquid is drip-filtered, you will have a chance of seeing a powder bed piled up like a hill in the filter cup. There is a saying in the past when making siphon pot coffee: If the powder bed finally appears as a "hill," then this means that your coffee is very likely to be delicious. (But this is actually just a result that has a probability after stirring, and has nothing to do with the taste of the coffee ~)

So the above is all the content shared by Qianjie this time. It is very simple and suitable for making coffee at all roasting levels. It is worth mentioning that it doesn't matter if you don't have a smart cup in your hand. As long as you have a filter cup in your hand, you can also use this solution. It's very simple, just soak the coffee powder in any container, and finally filter out the coffee grounds with a filter cup filter paper ~
