The use of various coffee machines different production methods require different cooking time

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 is for guests / friends, and the extra half cup is for the brewers to taste in advance. If the taste is abnormal at that time, do not give it to the guests, hehe)

2) when there is enough fuel in the alcohol lamp, ignite it and place it directly under the lower seat of the siphon kettle.

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.
