General knowledge of coffee how to use all kinds of coffee machines

The operation method of Turkish coffee pot

First of all, we would like to introduce what is called "brewing" coffee. Boil-put something in water and boil it over fire. But the "boiling" of brewing coffee is the process of "washing" the taste of coffee with water of 92-96 degrees. So many people will misunderstand this word. If you really put the coffee into the water to "brew", the drink you get will no longer be a cup of coffee, but a cup of scorched bitter water (because the temperature in the water has reached more than 96 degrees). The temperature above 96 degrees can destroy the oil in the coffee and taste bitter and astringent.

:

one. The degree of grinding of coffee is determined by the coffee equipment you choose. Because different coffee making methods require different grinding thicknesses.

two. Use 92-96 degrees of water.

three. Different production methods require different cooking time.

Turkish coffee Turkish Coffee is perhaps the most difficult coffee to make. Real Turkish coffee can only be obtained through complex procedures. Each cup of coffee requires two tablespoons of coffee and one spoonful of sugar (if necessary). You should use a small cup to drink Turkish coffee. Add coffee and sugar to the Turkish coffee pot "Ibrik" (Jezva) your spoon measures water and adds as many cups of water as you need. The coffee pot can only be half full, because there is a lot of foam when the water is about to boil. When the coffee boils, remove the coffee pot from the fire to make the foam disappear. Repeat the above procedure twice, then slowly add the coffee to the small cup. If you do it carefully, most coffee particles should be left in the coffee pot. The real connoisseur of Turkish coffee can add a little foam to each guest's cup, but this can also be done with a spoon.

The operation method of the pressure kettle

Coffee maker (also known as tea maker or press) French Press Coffee

This is a traditional soaking method, in which the coffee powder and the brewed coffee liquid are in the same container, which can taste the advantages and disadvantages of coffee.

Practice: put the coffee powder that matches the thickness of the press pot into the pot according to the amount of (80.0g) cup, but do not exceed the limit of the coffee pot. Pour water from 91 to 96 degrees Celsius into the pot until the top of the metal rack outside the coffee pot, place the filter rod, soak for 3 minutes and push the filter to the bottom. A pot of delicious coffee is ready.

Operation method of siphon kettle

Features: the brewed coffee has good aroma and high mellowness.

Corresponding coffee beans: non-heavily roasted single coffee beans and mixed coffee beans, such as Blue Mountain, Colombia, Brazil, etc.

Adapt to the crowd: people who pursue the quality of coffee, are not afraid of the trouble of washing pots, and are full of the spirit of continuous exploration.

Prepare materials:

1) an appropriate amount of pure water; pure water or filtered tap water used in household drinking fountains can be used.

2) some coffee beans / coffee powder

The amount of water in a cup of coffee in a siphon pot is 110ml (but it will be reduced by about 1/5 after brewing), and the corresponding coffee powder is about 15g.

If the conditions are right, it is best to choose coffee beans within 10 days from the factory and grind them into coffee powder before brewing coffee.

The fineness of coffee powder can refer to the thickness of "ultra-fine granulated" sugar sold in the market.

3) A set of siphon coffee maker (Hario TCA- 3 is used here), including: upper cover, upper seat, lower seat, siphon pot bracket, filter, alcohol lamp (using 95% industrial alcohol) and alcohol lamp windshield. Because the firepower of the alcohol lamp is difficult to adjust during use, it is necessary to turn it down (the cotton core only needs to leak slightly from the top 2mm to 3mm).

4) one spoon for 10 grams of coffee

5) stir the bamboo stick.

6) A piece of filter cloth or filter paper used in the siphon pot; the filter cloth should be ironed with hot water before being used for the first time to remove the odor.

7) A damp rag

8) A pointer clock for timing

Specific cooking steps:

1) add an appropriate amount of pure water to the lower seat of the siphon kettle (heated pure water can be used to shorten the time of boiling water. In this operation, the amount of water added is 2.5 cups, that is, about 280 milliliters, two cups of water are for guests / friends, and the extra half of the cup is for the brewers to taste beforehand, if they feel the taste is abnormal, do not give it to the guests to drink, hehe); 2) under the condition of sufficient fuel in the alcohol lamp, light it and place it directly under the lower seat of the siphon pot.

3) fix the filter with filter cloth / filter paper on the upper seat of the siphon kettle and make sure that the position of the filter is in the center (if the position is off, it can be adjusted with a bamboo stirring rod)

4) pour the right amount of coffee powder (2.5 cups of water corresponds to about 37 grams of coffee powder, which can be adjusted according to your taste) into the upper seat of the siphon pot. Shake the upper seat horizontally so that the coffee powder is evenly covered with the filter

5) insert the upper seat of the siphon pot obliquely into the lower seat, but not tightly (if the upper seat is inserted after the water is boiled, boiling hot water may suddenly erupt, which is quite dangerous, remember!)

6) when the water in the lower seat is boiling completely, move the alcohol lamp away for about 10 seconds, then move it back, but do not put it directly under the lower seat, it should be slightly off the center. This has two purposes: one is to reduce the water temperature to about 95 degrees, and the other is to reduce the firepower of alcohol lamps (as mentioned earlier, alcohol lamps are not very convenient in adjusting firepower. This is also the reason why some people rotate to use two alcohol lamps or gas stoves with adjustable firepower)

7) straighten the upper seat and insert it into the lower seat (with a little force)

8) at this time, due to the increase of pressure after heating, the water in the lower seat will flow into the upper seat along the riser of the upper seat. When there is only 1 / 3 water left in the lower seat, pour the ground coffee powder into the upper seat and pour wet coffee powder from all sides to the middle with a bamboo stick.

9) after the coffee powder is completely wet, start the clock (do not stir the coffee mixture at this time, this stage is called "stew")

10) after about 45 seconds, use a bamboo stick to quickly stir the coffee solution. After a layer of foam appears on the liquid surface, the stirring can be stopped. Wait a few more seconds, and then the alcohol lamp will be removed and extinguished.

11) wipe the lower seat with a wet rag prepared in advance to cool the lower seat; the order of wiping is to wipe the bottom first and then wipe around, and do not stay in one position for too long, lest the lower seat will burst due to uneven cooling. If you are skilled, wipe the lower seat with a rag in one hand and stir the coffee solution with a stirring stick in the other to speed up its cooling.

12) when the lower seat is not as expected, the internal pressure decreases, resulting in the coffee solution in the upper seat being sucked back to the lower seat (this is also the origin of the name of the siphon pot)

13) when the coffee solution in the upper seat is completely sucked back, pull out the upper seat and pour the coffee liquid in the lower seat into a pre-warmed coffee cup.

When the coffee solution in the upper seat is sucked into the lower seat, in the final stage, some foam will be formed above the liquid surface of the lower seat. By observing the shape of the foam, we can judge whether the heat and extraction are appropriate: if there are a large number of fine foams, it shows that the heat of brewing coffee is too large, and the taste of coffee will be quite bitter; if it is a big bubble, and it disappears after a few seconds, it shows that the heat is ideal; if there is almost no foam, it shows that the heat is not enough. If it is found that the heat is not suitable, it can be adjusted by means of increasing or decreasing the time of "stewing" in the future.

Having said so much, in fact, this is only the basic usage of siphon pot (including double flushing method, smell method, viscosity method, etc.). As long as you practice more at ordinary times and constantly modify it according to the actual taste, I am sure you will be able to make a good cup of coffee that really suits you.

How to use the coffee pot in Belgium:

First, open the alcohol lamp cover and inject alcohol (burning alcohol)

About six cents.

Remove the filter cloth from the attachment and cook it in boiling water for about 12 minutes.

Then wash it with clean water and wrap it on the filter net.

Please clean and wipe all the utensils before each use.

And use boiling water to inject water into the water holder to simulate and cook once to keep your diet hygienic.

Operation 1: please press the heat-resistant silica gel on the water accumulator to seal it.

Operation 2: put 5 flat tablespoons of coffee powder into the glass

Operation 3: turn on the water storage plug, inject boiled water about 420cc~440cc, and then close the water injection port

Operation 4: press the balance rod down and let the water accumulator clamp the open alcohol lamp cover, and finally light the alcohol lamp

When the boiled water is boiled to 100 degrees, the water will be sucked into the glass (siphon principle) when the weight of the balance rod is greater than the weight of the accumulator, the accumulator will be bounced up and tilted up, and the alcohol lamp lid stuck in the accumulator is automatically closed (off) due to the bounce of the accumulator.

Operation 5: when the coffee returns to the water reservoir, turn on the water storage plug slightly to let the air flow, turn on the faucet and you can taste the delicious coffee.

The operation method of mocha kettle

1. Pour hot water into the next cup and do not exceed the height of the pressure relief valve.

two。 Grind the coffee powder and pour the coffee powder into the powder cup, but pour more. Smooth the excess powder with chopsticks or bean spoons.

3. Dip the filter paper slightly with water, stick it on the upper seat filter, and screw on the upper seat. You have to tighten the pressure so that it won't leak. Be careful not to rotate the handle of the mocha kettle, which can easily break the handle. * it is easy to make the base hot if hot water is added. It is recommended to pack a towel to help.

4. Heat it with a gas lamp or an alcohol stove. When you see the coffee coming out, turn it into a small fire (don't let it rush out quickly).

5. The coffee is then slowly brewed, wait until the coffee is no longer coming out of the brown mouth of the pot, turn off the heat and enjoy a cup of strong coffee.

Semi-automatic coffee machine

The Italian coffee machine uses pressure to quickly pass the steam through the coffee powder and extract the best ingredients from the coffee, so the time the steam stays in the coffee powder directly affects the quality of the brewed coffee.

Step 1: scoop the coffee powder into the coffee filter cover, see that the coffee exceeds the level of the lid, and cut off the excess coffee powder with a flat knife or spoon.

Step 2: knock the coffee filter cover so that the coffee powder is evenly distributed, which is why the better Italian coffee machine uses heavier metal to make the coffee filter cover. Because if it is other materials, it may not be able to withstand too many heavy knocks.

Step 3: filter the coffee powder in the lid with a pressure bar. When pressing coffee powder, it is best to keep the surface level of coffee powder, otherwise the steam will be uneven. It is best to press with the muscles under the thumb. It is easier to apply force evenly. And how much pressure you need, you can try it a few more times. The important thing is to try the same batch of coffee powder several times before you can master the relationship between your pressing method and the function of the machine.

Step 4: knock down the coffee powder (horizontal drum) on the edge of the surface of the coffee powder just pressed, repeat it again, and turn 90 degrees with your wrist when pressing down. Then, clean up the coffee powder around the filter cover.

Step 5: lock the filter cover, put the water in according to the instructions of the machine, press the switch, and the steam begins to pass through the coffee powder.

Usage of automatic coffee machine

1. Add coffee beans to the coffee bin, fill the water tank with water, fill the chocolate bin with chocolate powder, turn on the power and turn on the machine.

2. Milk can be put directly into the milk box and put into the automatic suction tube.

3. Press OK button directly after heating, according to different design and specified keys of coffee machine: cappuccino, latte, American style, Italian extra strong coffee, chocolate coffee, single cup and double cup can be made.

4. the cleaning is very convenient, and the slag tank is displayed automatically when it is full.

Everything is very convenient. The full-automatic coffee machine has the advantages of power saving, good stability of product quality, and can be operated by anyone, which really reaches the stage of unmanned operation.
