Introduction to the brewing method of planting environment in the production process of Yunnan small-grain coffee beans

Yunnan Arabica Coffee Bean Production Process Planting Environment Brewing Method Taste Introduction

1)Purified water in moderation; use purified water from a household water fountain or filtered tap water.

2)Coffee beans/coffee powder;

Siphon pot cup of coffee water is 110 ml (but after boiling water will be reduced by about one-fifth), the corresponding coffee powder about 15 grams;

If conditions are available, it is best to use coffee beans within 10 days of the factory and grind them into coffee powder before brewing coffee;

The fineness of coffee powder can refer to the fineness of "extra fine" granulated sugar sold in the market.

3)A set of siphon coffee pot (here used is Hario TCA-3 type), including: upper cover, upper seat, lower seat, siphon pot holder, filter, alcohol lamp (using 95% industrial alcohol) and alcohol lamp windproof cover. Because it is difficult to adjust the firepower of the alcohol lamp during use, it is necessary to adjust it a little smaller (the cotton core only needs to leak slightly from the top 2 to 3 mm).

4) 1 teaspoon of 10 grams of coffee;

5)A bamboo stir stick;

6)A filter cloth or filter paper used in siphon pot; filter cloth should be blanched with hot water before first use to remove impurities.

7)a damp rag;

8)A clock of the hand type used for timing;

Specific brewing steps:

1)Add a proper amount of purified water to the bottom seat of the siphon pot (heated purified water can be used to shorten the boiling time. In this operation, the amount of water added is 2.5 cups, i.e. about 280 ml, two cups of water are for guests/friends, and the extra half cup is for the brewer to taste in advance. If you feel abnormal taste at that time, don't give it to the guests to drink, hehe);

2)When the fuel in the alcohol lamp is sufficient, ignite it and place it directly below the lower seat of the siphon pot;

3)Fix the filter covered with filter cloth/filter paper on the upper seat of the siphon pot, and ensure that the position of the filter is in the center (if the position is deviated, it can be adjusted with bamboo stirring rod);

4)Pour the right amount of coffee powder (2.5 cups of water corresponding to about 37 grams of coffee powder, can be adjusted according to personal taste) into the siphon pot seat. Shake the seat horizontally a few times to evenly coat the coffee powder on the filter;

5)Insert the upper seat of the siphon pot obliquely into the lower seat, but do not insert it tightly (if the upper seat is inserted after the water is boiled, the boiling hot water may suddenly spray out, which is quite dangerous, remember!);

6)After the water in the lower seat has completely boiled, temporarily remove the alcohol lamp for about 10 seconds and then move it back, but do not place it directly below the lower seat. It should be slightly offset from the center. This has two purposes: one is to reduce the water temperature to the most suitable temperature--95 degrees or so; the other is to reduce the firepower of the alcohol lamp (as mentioned earlier, the alcohol lamp is not very convenient in adjusting the firepower, which is also the reason why some people will rotate the use of two alcohol lamps or use gas stoves with adjustable firepower);

7)Centralize the upper seat and insert it into the lower seat (with a slight force);

8)At this time, the water in the lower seat increases in pressure due to heating, and flows into the upper seat along the riser of the upper seat. When the water in the lower seat is only 1/3 left, pour the ground coffee powder into the upper seat and pour the wet coffee powder from all sides to the middle with a bamboo stirring rod;

9)After the coffee powder is completely wet, start the timer (do not stir the coffee mixture at this time, this stage is called "stewing");

10)After about 45 seconds, quickly stir the coffee solution using a bamboo stir stick. Stirring can be stopped after a layer of foam appears on the surface of the liquid. Wait a few more seconds before the alcohol lamp is removed and extinguished.
