Coffee beginners prefer hand-brewed coffee to experience the most primitive charming flavor of coffee.

The coffee extracted by hand method is called hand-brewed coffee ((Hand Drip Coffee). Hand flushing can bring the personality and characteristics of coffee beans to the extreme, so a single coffee bean is often chosen. Hand-made coffee was invented by the French, but it was the Japanese who carried it forward.

Some people think that hand-brewed coffee is the healthiest way to drink coffee, taking into account all the coffee oil and unhealthy ingredients outside the coffee, pure and elegant coffee aroma, let you feel a natural serenity.

The basic utensils needed for hand coffee are as follows: hand pot, hand cup, filter paper, bean grinder, freshly roasted coffee beans.

Hand brewing may be the highest level of coffee brewing. With the support of rich experience, with the simplest tool, a cup of coffee with great personality can be obtained by controlling water temperature, powder quantity and thickness, flushing speed, technique and extraction time.

Example: making hand-brewed coffee with V60 hand cup (for two)

→ 25 grams of coffee powder (depending on your taste preference, you can increase or decrease the amount of coffee powder used)

Degree of grinding → medium fineness

Extraction temperature → 85 degrees

Coffee liquid extract → 280ml

Step 1: origami filter paper. Select the V60 filter paper for two people, fold the filter paper into a cone along the edge of the seam of the filter paper, and put it into the V60 cup.

Step 2: wet the filter paper. Remove the smell of filter paper.

Step 3: grind beans and pour powder. Pour the ground powder into the silk-moistened filter paper, gently pat the filter cup, smooth the powder, and dig a small hole in the center of the powder.

Step 4: warm the cup and warm the pot. Pour a small amount of hot water into the bottom pot, shake a few times, and then pour out. Then put the solid bean powder on the bottom pot.

Step 5: prepare 85 degrees hot water.

Step 6: steaming. Pour water from the center of the powder and circle 2-3 times. Freshly baked coffee powder will expand after absorbing water, protruding upward, emitting a light mellow flavor. At this time, there is basically no water dripping from the filter cup, and it is normal to have 3-5 drops. The purpose of steaming is to let the dry powder absorb water evenly and prepare for secondary water injection.

Step 7: brew. After more than ten seconds, the water is injected stably with a flow thicker than that of steaming. Pay attention to the flow of water not to rush to the filter paper, otherwise the extraction is insufficient. This step will inject water twice until the required liquid is extracted.

Step 8: fill the cup. Before filling the cup, you should warm the cup with water, and then gently shake the hand to make the coffee thick and light. After pouring out the warm cup water, pour the coffee into the cup and you can produce it. Usually the whole process takes 3 minutes.
