The so-called creamy coffee means using milk instead of water and then using cold extraction to brew the coffee. The advantage of this method is that it allows everyone to make a cup of milk coffee with a strong flavor relatively easily, so more and more bloggers have recently shared milk extracts.

However, Qianjie found that many friends still have many misunderstandings and questions about the making of creamy coffee. Therefore, today Qianjie came to share a few matters and details that must be paid attention to when making creamy coffee, because they are all issues that everyone is more concerned about, so it should be able to answer the confusion of many friends.

1. Safety Issues The first thing we need to pay attention to when making milk extract coffee must be food safety. As a high-protein dairy product, milk can be said to be a breeding ground for many bacteria. Under normal conditions, milk is already very easy to spoil. If we mix coffee and milk for a long time, it will shorten the "safe time" of the milk and increase the risk of spoilage.

Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of damaging the stomach when drinking milk extract coffee, we had better strictly follow the following matters when making it: First, disinfect the container! In addition to refrigerating and sealing the production of milk extract coffee, it is best to disinfect the container to be used in advance, which can further reduce the risk of qualitative change; also, don't make too much, and then try to drink it in a short time. Because the longer it is left, the more likely it is to deteriorate, it is best not to do too much at once to ensure that it can be drunk in a short time. If you can't finish it, don't put it back in the refrigerator, because the risk of spoiling after taking it out of the refrigerator has actually increased. Therefore, even if you can't finish the creamy coffee, it's best not to make reservations and just throw it away.

2. The coffee beans used If you want to make a delicious cup of creamy coffee, in addition to using the extraction parameters, the choice of coffee beans is also very important. Friends often report that although the brewed creamy coffee is strong, the flavor is not outstanding and the taste is not interesting. It is just stronger than ordinary milk. The reason why this happens is natural. The extraction efficiency of milk as a solvent is much lower than that of water, because the substances in milk are too rich. As a relatively saturated liquid, the rate at which it dissolves substances is very slow. So even if the grind we use is relatively fine, it is difficult to completely dissolve the flavor in the coffee.

Therefore, Qianjie does not recommend that everyone pursue too complete extraction in milk extract coffee. Although it can be done, it is not necessary. Then the choice of coffee beans can be given priority to the following two types: one is the ones with stronger flavor, and the other is the ones with deeper roasting. Because these two types of coffee beans have one advantage in common, that is, it is easy to make creamy coffee have a relatively prominent coffee flavor, at least more suitable than lightly roasted coffee beans. The bean list of Qianjie Taobao Tmall flagship store contains many coffee beans that are very suitable for making milk extract coffee. For example, Qianjie PWN Gold Mantinin, which Qianjie often shares with you. It has a very strong roasting flavor such as chocolate, spice, caramel, and nuts, which is very compatible with the taste of milk. Then it has a lower density and a loose structure due to deep baking. Therefore, even if the extraction efficiency of milk is very low, a large amount of flavor can be brewed.

And if everyone wants to drink a cup of creamy coffee with flowers and fruits flavor, then Qianjie will recommend Qianjie strawberry candy Espresso in the bean list. This coffee bean is different from the other Front Street strawberry sugar rose summer mix in the Front Street Bean List. The difference lies in the base bean mix and the degree of baking, but both can take into account both hand-brewed coffee and Italian coffee production. This Front Street strawberry candy Espresso is baked relatively deeply, has a high sweetness, and has a unique and prominent coffee flavor. It is the flavor of strawberry fudge, white floral fragrance, and berry and caramel. The creamy coffee made with it will taste quite special, a bit like drinking strawberry-flavored milk, which is very good! The same is true when making espresso coffee, which is very worth a try.

3. There is also the problem of filtering! If you have any friends who have made creamy coffee, you will know that the filtration speed of creamy coffee is really slow to the point that you doubt life! Because the filter paper we use has very high filtration accuracy, and then the milk itself is very rich in substances, the speed at which milk passes through the filter paper is very slow. Usually it takes at least half an hour to take it out of the refrigerator and filter it, which is very long!

So if you don't want to wait too long, you can replace a filtering tool with a lower filtration strength or use tea bags directly. The advantage of using tea bags is that we do not need to filter, and we can directly lift the tea bag out after the soaking and drink it, which is very convenient; in addition, if we subpack the coffee powder into more tea bags, then it can also Effectively increase the extraction rate of coffee, because the coffee powder will not be stacked at the bottom, so the surface area that can be extracted is increased, and the extraction rate will naturally be improved. It's just that no matter which option you choose, they will reduce the cleanliness of creamy coffee. Because the filtration accuracy is not so high, it is impossible to prevent the fine powder from slipping out of the tea bag or filter and affecting the taste of the coffee. As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and your cake at the same time. How to choose depends on what kind of coffee you want.

So the above is all the content shared by Qianjie this time! Due to the long length, Qian Jie did not make any production and share in this article. But I have shared a lot before. Interested friends can find out about past sharing by searching on Moving to Front Street~
