How to brew and make coffee

According to centuries-old experience, when coffee is brewed-the temperature of the water, the pressure, the time the coffee powder and water are in contact-are important factors affecting the quality of coffee. Here are a few common methods:

Turkish Lbrik 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 when 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 to 10 grams. The boiling water temperature is 100℃.

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 turn it upside down. 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 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 extract 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.
