Grinding coffee beans the ideal time for grinding coffee

The ideal time to grind coffee is to grind it before cooking. Because ground coffee is easy to oxidize and lose its flavor, especially without proper storage, coffee powder is also easy to change flavor, so it is naturally impossible to cook mellow coffee. Some people are afraid of trouble or do not want to buy a bean grinder, so they usually buy ready-made coffee powder when they drink coffee at home. At this time, they should pay special attention to the problem of storage. When the climate is humid, it is best not to place coffee powder at room temperature at will. A more appropriate way is to put it in a sealed jar and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, and do not place it together with garlic, fish and shrimp and other heavy-flavored food. Because the coffee powder is easy to absorb, a careless coffee becomes a strange taste coffee, then even the best quality coffee will be spoiled. However, some people put the cooked coffee powder in the refrigerator as a deodorant, which is a good way to make the best use of things.

When grinding beans, the size of the powder depends on the way it is cooked. Generally speaking, the shorter the cooking time, the finer the ground powder; the longer the cooking time, the thicker the ground powder. In terms of actual cooking, the ESPRESSO machine takes a very short time to make coffee, so the grinding is the finest, and the coffee powder is as fine as flour; it takes more than a minute to cook coffee in the "plug air" way, and the coffee powder is medium-sized grinding; American filter coffee takes a long time to make, so the coffee powder is the thickest, like grains on a shell beach. Grinding coffee powder with the right thickness is very important for making a good cup of coffee, because the extraction of water-soluble substances in coffee powder has its ideal time, if the powder is very fine and cooked for a long time, resulting in excessive extraction, the coffee may be very bitter and lose its aroma. On the other hand, if the powder is coarse and cooked too fast, resulting in insufficient extraction, the coffee will be tasteless because it is too late to dissolve the water-soluble substance in the powder.

There are different brands and types of bean grinders for grinding coffee, and the ideal one is a grinder that can adjust the thickness of the beans. When grinding with a bean grinder, do not grind too much at one time, just enough powder for one time, because the longer the bean grinder is used at one time, the easier it is to get hot, which indirectly causes the coffee beans to be heated in the grinding process and causes the aroma to be released in advance, which will affect the aroma of the cooked coffee.

Coffee beans contain oil, so the bean grinder must be cleaned after grinding, otherwise the oil scale will be stale over a long period of time, and even the most advanced beans will be ground into strange-smelling powder. After each use of the bean grinder, be sure to wipe the blade table with the wet market and clean the plastic top cover with warm hot water. But for the flavored coffee that is popular in the United States, the flavor added is strong and strong, and will last for a long time. Of course, it is better for a grinder to grind only the same kind of beans, so there is no problem of mixing.

According to the size of coffee beans, the grinding methods can be divided into rough grinding, medium grinding and fine grinding. Use the appropriate grinding method according to the coffee utensils.

There is also medium fine grinding or very fine grinding (powdered coffee powder) which is finer than fine grinding. The time to grind coffee beans is to grind only the required portion before brewing coffee. After the coffee bean is ground into powder, its surface area increases and absorbs moisture, which is easy to oxidize. In short, with the passage of time, coffee powder also plays a role of deterioration to damage the flavor.

And after the ground coffee beans are placed, the carbon dioxide retained inside the coffee beans will be lost together with the aroma. In this way, when the coffee powder is extracted and filtered, the coffee powder should be expanded without expansion, and the coffee can not be brewed anyway. The secret is to consider grinding and homework consistently, so brewing coffee is the most delicious and mellow.

Finegrind

● fine grinding

The particles are fine and the same size as sugar.

Mediumgrind

● medium grinding

The particles are the same size as a mixture of granulated sugar and crude sugar.

Regulargrind

● rough grinding

The granules are thick and the same size as coarse sugar.

The secret of grinding coffee beans

The grinding tool for coffee beans is a bean grinder. Bean grinders can be divided into three types:

● family uses manual rotary bean grinder. Suitable for small demand, large particles, suitable for leisure people who have time.)

● household electric bean grinder. It can grind coffee powder of all kinds of particle size, and it can grind out 6 people at a time.)

● specializes in using electric bean grinder. (for commercial use, coffee powder of more than one pound or less can be ground at a time.)

The knack of grinding coffee beans

The grinding prop for coffee beans is a grinder. There are numerous types of mills ranging from manual at home to large electric ones for business. Household grinders can also be used as decorations, and the number of people need more than one grinding, or electric to facilitate.

According to the structure of the grinder, there are grinders that use vertical and horizontal groove blades to cut coffee beans and those that grind coffee with molars. Each has its own advantages, and the situation of business use tends to mass production of the electric type as the mainstream.

However, the following two points should be paid most attention to when grinding coffee beans:

The friction heat of ① is suppressed to a minimum. (the aroma will fly away because of the fever)

Whether the size of ② particles is uniform or not. (if the particles are uneven, the concentration will be uneven.)

Taking this as a consideration, if you are a household mill, you should rotate it gently and take care to avoid friction heat as much as possible. Therefore, it is more appropriate to use electric grinders.
