The soaking time should be inversely proportional to the baking degree.

At a fixed amount of water, the longer (shorter) the soaking time, the higher (lower) the extraction rate and the higher (lower) the concentration. The baking degree should be taken as the main consideration for the length of soaking time. Shallow baked beans are not easy to extract, so the brewing time should be a little longer than baking. On the contrary, re-baked beans are easier to extract, so the brewing time is slightly shorter than that of shallow baking. In other words, the baking degree should be opposite to the boiling time.

During a visit to Italy, you will find that the extraction time, water temperature, and milliliters per cup of re-roasted coffee in South Italy are obviously less than those slightly lighter in the north, which is the practice of this technique.

The stirring flow should be inversely proportional to the baking degree.

Many people ignore that the strength of the current can also affect the extraction rate of coffee, which in turn affects the concentration. Water flow refers to the force of hot water passing through or impacting coffee granules. The stronger the stirring water is, the more it can promote the extraction of coffee ingredients. If there is no water flow to promote the extraction of follicular coffee, the coffee particles are tangled together, which is easy to cause uneven extraction, resulting in an extraction rate of less than 18% of the lower limit, and the coffee flavor is too weak. However, if the current is too strong or lasts too long, the friction of the particles is too large, which can easily lead to excessive extraction, resulting in an extraction rate exceeding 22% of the upper limit, and the high astringent bitter bite is easy to dissolve.

The strength of stirring water also needs a baking degree as an index, and deep-baked beans should be boiled with gentle water so as not to over-stretch the extraction rate. But boiled shallow baked beans can be stirred with a slightly stronger water flow to avoid too much essence remaining in the coffee grounds and cannot be extracted.

Electric trickling filter pot (nozzle water column size), hand punch kettle (nozzle caliber and water column height), siphon kettle (stirring force), French filter kettle (stirring and lower pressure channel), table smart filter cup (stirring force) are all used with water flow and stirring force to accelerate extraction. The size of the water flow, too much, in principle, the extraction of shallow baked water flow should be larger than deep baked beans. Water flow, water temperature, time and thickness are all sharp weapons for baristas to control the intensity and taste spectrum.
