Coffee brewing method: how to make fragrant and delicious coffee in French pressure pot french press

When we look back at every morning accompanied by coffee, the simple joy and serenity is self-evident. The French kettle is one of the simple and cheap ways to make the perfect coffee. Here we will teach you step by step how to use the kettle to make a good cup of coffee.

Advantages and disadvantages of using method pressure pot french press

The method of making coffee by pressing pot is to soak the coffee powder in hot water, and then press the powder to get its liquid.

Since the introduction of the drip coffee pot, the French press is the simplest and most time-saving tool for making coffee, especially when serving many people, it is much more convenient than the Philharmonic kettle. But because it needs to soak the coffee powder directly in water, it is easier to make the coffee more bitter and oily, which also deters many people.

Two elements of using a French kettle french press

There are two factors that determine whether the coffee is good or bad: the water temperature-overheated boiling water will over-extract the coffee powder, but if the temperature is not enough, the coffee will not taste full; the degree of grinding of the coffee-too fine coffee powder can make the coffee cloudy and bitter.

So what you need to know is: how fine is the coffee to grind? What is the temperature of the water?

With regard to the water temperature, the easiest way is to take the kettle off the stove (turn off the power if you use an electric kettle) and let it sit for 1 minute when the water boils to a boil. The temperature is just right at this time. Then you can start using it to make coffee.

Let's move on to the grinder. A qualified grinder must be selected before it can grind coffee powder suitable for different machines. The coffee powder needed by the French pressure pot is relatively large, and the coffee powder that is too fine will pass through its filter and form precipitation in the cup, which will also lead to excessive immersion and extraction, which will make the coffee too bitter. The pan-type coffee grinder can grind coffee powder with the same particle size, which is very suitable for pressure pots.

Hundred percent hint: if your coffee is unusually bitter, or there is oil precipitation at the bottom of the cup, you might as well replace the grinder with a grinder. Or find a local coffee shop to grind it for you. Commercial grinders are usually more reliable.

A variety of different techniques for pressing pots.

You can find a lot of tips on the use of French kettles on the Internet. But personally, there is no need to worry about whether to make 30g or 40g of coffee, or whether coffee beans and water should be weighed rather than measured by volume. If you are already a master, everything is naturally integrated, and there is no need to be bound by these details in the whole process, immersing yourself in your own joy and obsession. But if you are just getting started, you don't have to worry about what you want to do. You want to use electronic scales to weigh coffee and water. If you want to make the soaking time accurate to minutes and seconds, everyone can do it.

It's just that now we don't talk about this, we only talk about some basic things, after all, in the end, it's just a cup of coffee after all the hard work. What we hope is that everyone can use the right steps as far as possible to get the wonderful taste that really belongs to them.

To make coffee using a French kettle:

1. Measure the coffee beans you need. Here we need to measure 1 cup and 2 cups of coffee beans.

2. Grind coffee beans. Grind with one of the coarsest particles in a disc grinder. The ground coffee should be coarse and about the same size, and should not have too much fine powder. Experts believe that the ideal particle size should be like bread crumbs (how to judge the grinding thickness of coffee beans?). Pour the ground coffee powder into the French kettle.

3, boil water and let stand for 1 minute. Come out of the water according to the amount of water you need, and measure 4 cups here. The water temperature required for the kettle should be about 195 °F / 90 °C, close to the boiling water temperature. Heat the water kettle to the boil, then turn off the heat and let stand for 1 minute (if you use the fire, put the kettle away and rest). Students who want accurate temperature can check it with a thermometer.

4, add water. Add 4 cups of water to the French kettle.

5, stir. Stir hard, up and down.

6, soak for 4 minutes. It takes only 4 minutes to produce full and fragrant coffee. After you are familiar with the whole process, you will understand that for coffee beans with different roasting levels, the soaking time is long and short, and the taste is different, depending on your taste and interest.

7, press the coffee. As soon as the time is up, press the lever of the French kettle to the end, filter the coffee out with the strainer at the end, and then enjoy it immediately.

Percent how hint:

1, warm the pot first. For simplicity, this process is not included in the above steps. But if you have the time and mood, you might as well flush the kettle with hot water after the water is boiled. The thermos are also a tip to make the coffee taste better.

2, glass thermos. If you don't want to drink it right away, don't leave the coffee in the French kettle, it will be too soaked and the coffee will be too bitter. The coffee liquid should be poured into a glass thermos to keep it warm.
