Hand-brewed coffee "slowly refined"

Weigh the roasted fresh coffee beans, pour them into the bean grinder, run the movement, and the fragrance of beans blooms in the air in an instant.

I like to grind beans and make coffee in the early morning. The water in the small-mouth pot is slow and graceful, as if it had gently opened the curtain of the day. I always feel that the matter of making coffee by hand has an awe-inspiring sense of ritual, as if waiting for the sunrise to be as excited, small and surging. Every time I see the heat of the water from the small-mouth pot gradually fill the room with the rhythm of the hand, I suddenly have the illusion of wandering, as if to see the body gradually clear in the haze of life. Perhaps to put it this way, a good cup of coffee taught me about "slow refinement".

In fact, hand-brewed coffee has high requirements for the quality of coffee beans. If you are used to drinking fast coffee with sugar and milk in a street shop, you really need to re-recognize the original taste of "coffee" from such a cup of coffee. Usually, coffee beans should be ground before brewing, and every time you buy new beans, try to drink them within two weeks. Coffee is actually very fragile. Improper preservation will make it absorb miscellaneous flavor, and its own flavor will completely escape and dissipate.

It is said that a perfect cup of handmade coffee requires the brewer to have more than 5 years of coffee experience, not only skilled, but also adjust the brewing mode according to different varieties, water temperature and drinkers' preferences, so that the coffee always presents a perfect balance of "sweet, sour, bitter, mellow and fragrant" in front of people's eyes. Seemingly easy, highly similar operation, in fact, also contains a variety of taste possibilities. Even the coffee brewed by the same person does not taste exactly the same every time. However, it is this mysterious uncertainty that makes people look forward to the coffee event that is about to happen, and there is an extra romantic temperament in those focused, rigorous and rational steps.

"drinking coffee" is a romantic thing, even the Italian kind of early morning, buy a cup of ESPRESSO to drink, have a kind of elegance belongs to them. Hand-made coffee, because of the investment of time and wisdom, there is a more sense of gift-the small and delicate gift that life gives us. If your days are repeated in the two-o'clock pattern between work and work, and even start to get a little as boring as instant coffee, it's time to try making your own coffee by hand. At the very least, a really full-bodied cup of good coffee can make the whole room smell in an instant, and the haze of life will become less melancholy because of the awakened "one's delicacy".
