How to make coffee at home and "wash" the taste of coffee with 92mur96 degree water

First, let's talk about what it means to "make" coffee. Boiling-Put something in water and boil it with a torch. But the "boil" of brewing coffee is the process of "washing" the taste of coffee with 92-96 degree water. Many people misunderstand this word. If you really put coffee into the water to "boil", then you get a drink will no longer be a cup of coffee, but a cup of burnt bitter water (because the temperature of the water has reached 96 degrees above), the temperature above 96 degrees can destroy the oil in the coffee, taste and astringent.

Making coffee at home requires attention to a few things:

1。The fineness of the coffee is determined by the coffee equipment you choose. Because different coffee making methods require different grinding fineness

2。Use 92-96 degree water.

3。Different cooking methods require different cooking times

Use a small household coffee machine-coffee to be filtered through paper or gold filters FilterCoffee

1. Use of small funnel: Put a piece of filter paper inside the funnel and put a cup of coffee powder (8-10) into the filter paper pocket. (Avoid coffee entering the interlayer between the filter paper and the funnel wall) First wet the coffee powder with water at the right temperature, and add water later (water should be added slowly to avoid the water level being higher than the filter paper so that the coffee grounds are washed into the coffee) until a good cup of coffee.

2. Electric drip coffee machine: preheat the coffee machine before brewing coffee every day, add half a pot of water in the sink, and turn on the power supply; first, top out the fresh water inside the machine, second, clean the boiler and various pipes of the brewing system, third, clean the coffee brewing funnel, and fourth, preheat the coffee pot. Put a matching filter paper in the funnel of the coffee machine, put 7-9 grams of coffee powder into the filter paper according to each cup (be careful that the coffee powder enters the interlayer between the filter paper and the funnel wall), and close the funnel door. Press 175 ml per cup to add to the sink and turn on the power.

A pot of good coffee is cooked.

Avoid problems:

First, the choice of coffee pot: according to the current coffee culture atmosphere is slowly developing, the coffee brewing equipment market is not very sound, when buying, we must pay attention to the coffee pot glass thickness is uniform, the cup barrel is vertical, the caliber is the same, and the outer metal shelf should be strong and have a certain hardness.

Second, water temperature: too high water temperature will deteriorate the coffee oil quality, make coffee bitter, too low water temperature can not boil the taste of coffee will be sour and astringent. So the normal water temperature is between 91 and 96 degrees Celsius.

Third, coffee powder grinding thickness: This is a steeping boiling method, it takes 3 minutes to soak, so coffee powder should be coarse.

Fourth, downward pressure: need to be careful to make this action, press the pressure rod with the palm of your hand, vertically and the bottom of the pot downward uniform straight force. Remember to apply force evenly, too much force will make the coffee pot burst. Fifth, coffee powder can not be boiled for the second time: the standard first time to cook, cook delicious coffee, the second time is not good to drink water. The brewing of any kind of coffee involves washing out the flavor (organic and inorganic substances soluble and insoluble in water) of the coffee with water for a second time.

Coffee powder thickness: coarse type.

The entire process takes 22 to 28 seconds. Remember that real espresso is a very small cup of coffee (forty to fifty milliliters or 1.5 ounces). Coffee should start flowing after five seconds. It should flow like hot honey at the bottom of the coffee spoon. If it takes too long to start flowing, try not pressing the coffee too hard, or switch to coarser particles. If the coffee runs out too fast, compact it a bit more or switch to finer particles.

Degree of coffee powder fineness: superfine.

Legend has it that one day when Muhammad was about to be conquered by sleepy bugs, his archangel Gabriel immediately offered him a cup of brewed coffee. The rich aroma of coffee greatly excited Muhammad and made him-subdued forty warriors and made forty women happy-how Gabriel made this magical drink is not explained in this story, but according to centuries of experience, when brewing coffee-the temperature of the water, the pressure, the time the coffee powder and water are in contact-are important factors affecting the quality of the coffee.

Coffee brewing methods: coffee brewing methods are generally classified as the following

TurkishLbrew Coffee:

It is a concentrated, strong coffee with a slight aroma. How to make coffee-heat a copper coffee pot, put the appropriate amount (one teaspoon per cup) into the pot and grind the coffee powder and sugar very finely, then brew it with boiling water. Total contact time approximately 1 minute, pressure 1 atmosphere.

There are two ways to drink this coffee:

1. Start drinking while the insoluble part is still suspended on the surface.

2. Wait for precipitation before drinking.

Filter Coffee:

1.5 1 ounce of lightly roasted, coarsely ground coffee powder into filter paper, slowly pour into the center of the coffee with boiling water and then around, and then back to the center, boiling water after grinding coffee powder and then drop into the pot, each cup of water about 8~10 grams. The boiling water temperature is 100℃.

Mocha:

A type of distilled coffee brewed in a mocha pot with a steady concentration and aroma. Mocha pot is divided into two parts, in the lower part of the pot water is boiled to a boil, water boiling by steam pressure, rising through the filter containing coffee powder to the upper part of the pot. When the coffee starts to flow to the top half of the pot, turn down the fire, because too high a temperature will make the coffee produce a scorched taste and destroy its original flavor. The common Japanese style of cooking uses the same principle.

Napoletana:

For a filter coffee, put the moderately ground coffee powder (5~6 grams/cup) into the filter in the Napoletana pot, cover the filter lid and put it into the boiler, after the water boils, remove the pot and invert it. The boiling water at 100℃ seeps into the coffee powder in the filter and drips into the cup (as shown in the figure). The contact time between the boiling water and the coffee powder is between 2 and 4 minutes. Napoletana coffee is not very thick, but it tastes full and smooth.

Espresso Italian Machine Brewing:

Coffee is an extremely unstable liquid and can change its properties at once. This is one of the reasons why the espresso machine was invented. Espresso machines can draw several cups of coffee in succession. The high pressure in the brewing process can dissolve the oil and colloid in the coffee beans, and the essence of the beans is completely extracted by the pressure, making the brewed coffee stronger, taste and aroma better.

Siphon:

Put the coffee powder into the funnel above, add water into the pot, then put the funnel nozzle tightly into the pot mouth, and boil the water. When the boiling water rises into the funnel, stir and soak for about 40 seconds to one minute, then turn off the alcohol lamp. At this point, coffee drops back into the pot, and then you can remove the funnel and pour it out for drinking.

Coffee lovers know that buying good coffee is only the first step in making good coffee. Proper storage, grinding and brewing of coffee can ensure the quality of coffee.

When brewing coffee, you should pay attention to the following points:

Boiling will make coffee bitter, so do not boil coffee, the appropriate brewing temperature should be slightly lower than 96℃.

Coffee can not be reheated, brewing should be careful to cook only the amount needed each time, and it is best to drink it when it is just cooked. The best drinking temperature for coffee is 85 ° C.

Water accounts for 98% of a cup of coffee, so it is best to use filtered water to brew coffee, especially water containing chlorine.

Don't reuse coffee grounds. Brewed coffee grounds leave only an unpleasant bitter taste.

Grind coffee correctly depending on the coffee maker you are using. Too fine a grind can make coffee bitter and clog the coffee maker more easily. If the coffee is ground too coarsely, the coffee will have no taste. For filter-type brewing, properly ground coffee powder should be dripped for 2 to 4 minutes each time.

Recommended Dosage-2 tablespoons round coffee powder/6 ounces water
