As we all know, coffee beans with different degrees of roasting have different characteristics, so we use different extraction parameters when brewing them, in order to maximize their delicious taste and characteristics. In addition to parameters such as water temperature, grinding, ratio, and time, the filter cup used when making coffee can also be regarded as a "parameter". Because, as Qianjie has always shared, the design of the filter cup will affect the time and method of coffee extraction, and then affect the overall texture of the coffee, the choice of filter cup is also a concern for many novice friends!

"What filter cups are the most suitable for brewing coffee beans of different degrees of roasting? "This is a question that friends often ask Qianjie when buying coffee beans. So today, Qianjie will come to share with you what filter cups Qianjie will use when brewing coffee beans of different degrees of roasting. It is worth mentioning that the following shares are only recommendations from Qianjie and are not the most suitable ones. Different people have different taste preferences. You can refer to it and make choices based on your own preferences.

The recommended filter cup for lightly roasted beans is ~~~ When making lightly roasted coffee with floral fruit acids such as Qianjie Yejia Shefei Tintin and Qianjie Ethiopian Huaqui, Qianjie generally uses it. A fast-flow conical filter cup like the V60. There are two purposes. One is to highlight the flavor of coffee, and the other is to make coffee have richer layers. The conical structure will allow the coffee powder to be distributed in the filter cup in a larger and smaller manner, which will cause certain differences in extraction. Because the extraction efficiency of coffee powder at different positions is different, the dissolved matter The quantity is different;

Then, the effect of the fast flow rate is not to cause excessive soaking in the coffee extraction, and at the same time, it can also reduce the amount of bitter substances dissolved, further amplifying the difference in extraction. Under the superposition of the two, as long as other parameters are used properly and the extraction efficiency is sufficient, the lightly roasted coffee brewed using this type of filter cup will have a very rich sense of hierarchy and a very prominent flavor. Here, the front street is just like the front street of Grana Guesha in the bean list! Qianjie Grana Rose Summer is a medium and light roasted Ethiopian Rose Summer that is sun-treated. It has excellent flower and fruit flavor and sweet and sour taste. It is very suitable for making hand-brewed coffee, cold extracted coffee and espresso. When brewing this type of coffee beans in a fast-flow conical filter cup (V60), the following parameters are used:

Amount of powder used: 15g, ratio of powder to water: 1:15, degree of grinding: 75%~80% sieving rate of No. 20 sieve, grinding of fine sugar, brewing water temperature: 91°C~93°C, brewing time: 2 minutes, brewing method: three-stage, using filter cup: V60.

This parameter is combined with this filter cup. As mentioned above, the Front Street Grana Rose Summer brewed with this parameter has a very prominent sense of hierarchy and a prominent flavor. Apricots, citrus, berries, oolong tea can be obviously drunk., and floral flavor. The taste is mainly sweet and sour, and the taste is clean and full, which is very good. If you also want to brew lightly roasted coffee with rich layers and outstanding flavors, then such parameters and the combination of filter cups can be referred to ~

The recommended filter cup for deep-roasted beans is ~~~ When brewing medium and deep-roasted coffee beans such as Front Street PWN Gold Mantelin, Front Street Queen Brazilian Estate Yellow Bourbon, Front Street Blue Mountain No. 1 Coffee, etc., Front Street generally uses a filter cup with a slower flow rate, flat bottom or conical shape. There are two reasons why Qianjie uses a filter cup with a slow flow rate: first, it is to extend the extraction time of coffee so that coffee can be fully but not excessively extracted; second, it is to increase the mellow and aroma of coffee to further amplify the excellent characteristics of deep-roasted coffee. The reason why both flat bottom and conical filter cups are okay is because they each have their own benefits. The characteristics of the conical filter cup, as mentioned above, can improve the level of coffee; while the flat-bottomed filter cup can further increase the balance of coffee extraction, thereby giving the coffee a more balanced taste and taste. So how to choose here depends on the individual.

Here, take Front Street PWN Gold Mantelin as an example! Front Street PWN Golden Mantonin is a very outstanding quality mantonin Indonesia. The meticulous processing of raw beans and strict screening of flaws give this batch of mantonin a clean taste and clearer flavor than conventional mantonin. It can be said that it is a very excellent coffee bean that is very suitable for making hand-brewed coffee. When using slow-flow filter cups to brew this type of coffee beans on the street, the parameters that will be used are as follows:

Amount of powder used: 15g, ratio of powder to water: 1:15, degree of grinding: 70%~75% sieving rate of No. 20 sieve, grinding of fine sugar, brewing water temperature: 86°C~88°C, brewing time: 2 minutes, brewing method: three-stage, using filter cup: Kono.

This parameter is combined with this filter cup and the Qianjie PWN Gold Mantelin is very full and mellow. The taste is balanced and the sweetness is high. The flavor is expressed as chocolate, spices, nuts, and pine. The sweetness is strong and long-lasting, which is very good.
