Choice after grinding coffee beans: brew or brew?

Brew or brew? The choice after grinding coffee beans

Coffee is an indispensable drink for many people in the morning, and how to deal with freshly ground coffee beans has become an important issue. In this article, we will explore two common processing methods: brewing and brewing, and analyze their respective advantages and applicable scenarios from different perspectives.

1. Cook

Freshly ground coffee beans are steeped in boiling water and then passed through a filter or other unmanned coffee machine filter to separate the liquid portion. This is what is traditionally called "brewing" coffee.

First of all, it is worth mentioning that “brewed” coffee usually has a stronger, more complex and deeper taste. Due to the longer contact with water, more compounds and aroma components are released at high temperatures, making the taste richer.

Secondly, the process of "brewing" is relatively simple and easy. Just add water to the appropriate temperature and pour it into the container to start making delicious coffee. In addition, the method of "brewing" is also relatively flexible and can be adjusted according to personal taste and preferences. For example, factors such as soaking time, water temperature and amount of coffee powder can be controlled to achieve the ideal taste.

However, there are some disadvantages to "brewing" coffee. First, the process is relatively slow, and you need to wait for a while before you can enjoy the delicious coffee. Second, the "brewing" method usually requires the use of additional equipment, such as filters, pots or French presses, and these equipment are also relatively troublesome to clean.

2. Rush

Different from "boiling", "brewing" is to mix freshly ground coffee beans directly with water and stir them to separate the liquid part immediately. This method is more simple and quick.

First of all, the biggest advantage of "brew" is the speed. Just pour the right amount of coffee powder into the cup, add the right amount of boiling water and stir to complete the production process. No additional equipment and complicated steps are required, which is especially suitable for enjoying a cup of fragrant coffee in the morning rush or during work breaks.

Secondly, the brewing method also saves more coffee beans. Since the coffee powder is directly mixed with water, the aroma and taste of the coffee can be more fully extracted, so a relatively small amount can achieve the desired effect.

However, brewing coffee may lack some of the complexity and richness of brewing coffee. Due to the shorter brewing time and the lack of a filter, all compounds and aroma components may not be fully released. In addition, brewing coffee is not suitable for controlling factors such as steeping time and water temperature, so the taste may be slightly lacking.

3. Make choices

When choosing between boiling or brewing, we need to weigh the pros and cons based on our needs, preferences, and specific circumstances.

If you are looking for a more complex, rich and profound coffee experience and are willing to spend some extra time and effort to make a delicious drink, "brewing" is a good choice. By adjusting parameters such as soaking time and water temperature, and using appropriate equipment for filtering, you can enjoy a cup of coffee with a mellow taste and overflowing aroma.

On the contrary, if you value speed and convenience and want to make a cup of delicious coffee quickly in a short time, "brew" is a more suitable choice. Just prepare the right amount of coffee powder and boiling water, stir for a while and you can enjoy the rich and mellow taste.

Of course, this does not mean that we have to make a clear choice between boiling and brewing. In fact, both methods can be used flexibly in different scenarios. For example, in the morning rush, you can choose to brew to save time; while in leisure time or sharing with friends, you can try to use boiling to experience a more complex and interesting production process.

in conclusion

Whether brewed or brewed, freshly ground coffee beans can bring us deliciousness and enjoyment. By understanding their respective advantages and applicable scenarios, and making choices based on personal preferences, we can make the most suitable cup of coffee according to different situations.
