Coffee brewing skills

Every step from raw beans to a strong espresso (Espresso) is very important and affects the quality of the final product. When you know how to choose the best and most appropriate coffee beans, you must also know how to cook it in order to make a perfect cup of coffee. Knowing how to make the perfect cup of coffee is like a painter knowing how to use his brush or a scientist knowing how to apply scientific equations. When you have the expertise in this area, you can change from a simple Espresso to a variety of fancy coffee drinks.

Here are some tips for you:

(1) with the freshest coffee beans, the storage life should not exceed one week, and it is best to grind them before brewing.

(2) the grinder should be used correctly. If you grind it too fine, the coffee will taste bitter; if it is too thick, the coffee will be light.

(3) use standard coffee gauges, 2 tablespoons ground coffee with 168 grams of water; the dosage can be adjusted according to personal taste and experience.

(4) use fresh water. Filtered or bottled water may be used in some areas and unfiltered water may be avoided.

(5) the temperature of the water should be just below the boiling point of 93 degrees Celsius. Drip cooking is best done within 4-6 minutes. Other good brewing methods are pressure infiltration and vacuum pot, all of which can be brewed in 4 minutes. Use the electric kettle to brew for no more than 6 minutes. The coffee will taste bitter if you brew it for too long.

(6) remember to preheat the cup before pouring in the coffee.
