How to make coffee beans easy to make coffee by hand

Degree of grinding

To do the correct grinding according to the coffee machine used, grinding can be roughly divided into three stages: rough grinding, medium grinding, and fine grinding.

Coarse ground coffee is suitable for filter coffee pot (traditional American brewer), medium ground coffee is suitable for follicular, flannel filter and siphon coffee pot, and fine grinding is most suitable for coffee distiller (also known as water drop coffee maker). And I would like to remind you that the shorter the brewing time, the more detailed the grinding particles should be. Because the smaller the particles, the larger the area of contact with hot water, so the brewing time is shorter. And too fine grinding will make the coffee more bitter, but also easier to block the coffee machine; too rough grinding, it will make less flavor coffee.

Fresh and warm water

97% of the coffee is water, and only water of good quality can brew the original aroma and richness of the coffee. It is best to use filtered water to make coffee. Do not boil the coffee, because boiling water will make the coffee bitter, but also pay attention to the temperature of the water should be slightly lower than 96 degrees Celsius.

The coffee had better not be reheated. When cooking, you should pay attention to only the amount needed for each cooking, and it is best to drink it when it is just cooked. The best drinking temperature for coffee is 85 degrees Celsius.

How to cook coffee beans

First prepare the necessary utensils: a small hand coffee grinder, coffee filter paper, coffee funnel, cup, so that you can make a simple and convenient hand-made coffee.

1. Ground beans

First grind the coffee beans with a mill (the finest grinding).

If there is a shredder at home or a soymilk machine with crushing function can also be used, but the effect is not very ideal, the particles are relatively coarse. If none of these tools are available, it can be achieved with a rolling pin and a panel. Rolling and mashing methods, in short, to make the particles as small as possible.

2. Make coffee

If the coffee powder is ground fine enough, use brewing. Put a piece of filter paper on the inside of the funnel, put a cup of coffee powder (8-10) into the filter paper pocket, to avoid coffee powder leakage, first wet the coffee powder with warm water, warm the cup with boiling water in advance, and then put it under the funnel. Add the right amount of coffee powder according to your own taste.

3. Brewing

With pure water of about 96 degrees (must be pure water, otherwise it will affect the taste of coffee), evenly a small amount of clockwise water is drenched on the coffee powder, after the coffee powder is fully submerged, wait a while, after the first water is filtered into the cup, continue to pour a uniform small amount of water clockwise, watching the coffee liquid in the cup reach the desired amount, you can close the cup, and pour the cup counterclockwise. The added water should be determined according to the amount of coffee powder and personal taste.)
