Coffee making

The coffee maker is not the only factor in making delicious coffee. The "four basic principles for making coffee"-the proper proportion of coffee powder, the degree of grinding of coffee, the quality of water and the freshness of coffee powder are more important than coffee modulators. If you have a superficial knowledge of coffee making, you can use a coffee press, a home coffee maker and an espresso maker to make delicious coffee.

Appropriate proportion of coffee powder

To master the ratio of coffee powder to water-this is the most important step in the process of preparing delicious coffee. In order to make the best coffee, we recommend that you use 180 ml of water with 10 grams of coffee powder. If you think the coffee drink made in this way is too strong, you can add some hot water to it.

10 grams of coffee-180 ml of water

The degree of coffee grinding

Different blending methods have different requirements for the degree of coffee grinding. But in general, the shorter the preparation time, the higher the degree of grinding of coffee. For example, the coffee powder used in an espresso machine must be very fine because it takes only about 18 to 23 seconds to prepare. However, the coffee powder used in the coffee press can be rougher because the water and the coffee powder have a four-minute chance of direct contact.

Espresso machine-very fine coffee powder

Drip filter coffee maker-medium size coffee powder

Coffee press-coarse coffee powder

water

98% of a cup of coffee is water, so the water you use to make coffee must be clean, fresh and free of impurities. It is best to heat the water to 90 degrees Celsius to 96 degrees Celsius. Hot water at this temperature can extract all the flavors of coffee. Water with insufficient temperature is not available.

Pure water.-better coffee.

The freshness of coffee powder

Coffee is a fresh drink, its enemies are oxygen, light, heat and moisture. In order to ensure the freshness of the coffee, the coffee should be kept in a dark, sealed container at room temperature. You can keep your coffee in this way for up to a week. For best results, ground coffee powder should be used immediately.

Fresh coffee-keep it for no more than a week.
