The talent passes the secret skills privately! Do not fail to make coffee by hand

When it comes to coffee beans, they can be simply divided into light roast, medium roast and heavy roast. Coffee cherries are actually like fruits. Good coffee beans will have fruity, floral, cocoa, nutty flavor, etc. Usually, the lighter the roast, the heavier the sour taste, the more you can drink the essence of coffee beans; conversely, the heavier the roast, the more bitter it is. As far as brewing is concerned, different brewing methods have different extraction methods and time, and different grinding degrees should be given. Usually, the shorter the extraction time, the finer the coffee powder to be ground, and the easier it is to extract bitter taste.

Coffee powder, rub a little hole.

Step 3: Pour in coffee powder, distribute evenly, and rub a small hole in the center point with your pinkie finger.

Pour hot water into the hole

Step 4: pour hot water into the hole at 87 to 92 degrees, and then slowly diffuse clockwise or counterclockwise to the surrounding coffee powder until there is a drop of leakage. Steam for 30 seconds. (Steaming allows coffee powder to inhale hot water and expel carbon dioxide, which helps to extract aromatic substances later)

Coffee powder expands and bulges.

Step 5: When steaming, the coffee powder will swell (the fresher the coffee powder, the more it will swell), until the bulge will collapse, you can inject hot water.

Diffusion in circles

Step 6: When washing by hand, take the middle as the center and slowly diffuse out in circles, so that hot water can diffuse horizontally in the coffee powder to extract rich coffee flavor. (Do not rush directly to the outermost circle when hand flushing, this will allow hot water to fall directly along the edge of the filter paper cup, not only does not extract, but will dilute the coffee concentration)

stir coffee powder under pressure with hot water

Step 7: Raise the pot slightly before the end of hand flushing, shake the pot in the middle of the coffee powder, increase the brewing pressure, use hot water to stir the coffee powder under pressure, and make the final extraction before the end.

Allow the water in the filter paper to drip slowly

Step 8: Collect the water, let the water in the filter paper drip slowly, wait until you like the proportion of coffee powder and water, you can pick up and enjoy.
