What is Single Coffee?

In the process of coffee making, if a coffee bean is used alone, then the coffee produced is called "single coffee".

However, because some coffee varieties have obvious deficiencies in taste and style, such as being used to make coffee alone, there will be obvious deficiencies in taste, so people are beneficial to other varieties of coffee to make up for their defects, and it is common to use two or more kinds of coffee mixed together to make a blend (such as the famous Mamba coffee-Mantenin + Brazil Sandos), and this coffee combination obtained by mixing two or more different coffees is called "comprehensive coffee".

PS: In fact, some blue mountain coffee on the market is actually a product of comprehensive coffee, blending with the use of some blue mountain coffee or coffee beans similar to blue mountain coffee flavor to reconcile, blending a similar blue mountain coffee flavor "comprehensive coffee."

2. Method for preparing hand-brewed drip coffee

Mellita coffee is a simple and well-known brewing method invented by Mrs. Mellita (1873~1950) of West Germany.

Now, with the popularity of drip coffee in the Japanese coffee industry, Japan has also developed a "coffee road". They believe that hand-brewed drip coffee is not a simple brewing method, but a coffee brewing method that requires baristas to accumulate long-term practice and experience.

3. Tool for using hand-brewed drip coffee

filter bowl

Until today, filter cups have developed a lot of styles and materials, the most commonly used filter cups are resin 3-hole filter cups (there are also traditional 2-hole filter cups, traditional 1-hole filter cups and improved 1-hole filter cups), and the filter cup material is not limited to resin materials, ceramic filter cups and copper filter cups are gradually moving towards mainstream development.

The makers of the filter cup believe that the thermal conductivity of different materials and the improved wall groove texture can greatly affect the final quality of coffee. But in the end which kind of material and which kind of shape filter cup is the best on the benevolent.

percolator

The filter pot is a tool for connecting filter cups. The choice of filter pot is as transparent as possible, and it is best to withstand cold and heat shrinkage. Of course, the detailed scale mark on the filter pot is also a good helper for baristas to extract accurately.

filter paper

Different types of filter cups have corresponding matching filter paper, generally speaking, filter paper is divided into drifting filter paper and non-drifting filter paper, because the quality of the paper is not drifting filter paper often the price is slightly more expensive and drifting filter paper, and for health, because the bleached filter paper in addition to a certain smell (in brewing will affect the taste of coffee) The chemical composition of the fluorescent agent used is also extremely detrimental to human health. Therefore, the comprehensive above reasons suggest that the use of non-drift filter paper is appropriate.

kettle

The small mouth pot is a key to brewing a good cup of coffee. When choosing a small mouth pot, it is generally appropriate to choose a slightly larger one, which is more conducive to maintaining the stability of the water temperature. In addition, the choice of the spout is also a major focus. When choosing, you need to choose a mouth type that is easier to control the water flow to ensure that the brewing process is smooth.

the thermometer

Thermometer is essential equipment for drip coffee brewing. Due to the different roasting degree of various coffee beans, the water temperature that excites the characteristics of beans will also be slightly different, so the role of thermometer in this is self-evident.
