How to grind coffee beans manually
For coffee lovers, grinding coffee beans by hand is a kind of enjoyment. Although there are various grinders available on the market, if you don’t have these devices, you can also grind coffee beans by hand through some simple methods.
Prepare the necessary materials
First, we need to prepare the following materials:
- Fresh coffee beans
- A small hammer or rolling pin
- A plastic or paper bag
- A flat, hard surface (such as a cutting board)
- A meat grinder or juicer (optional)
Step 1: Put the coffee beans into the bag and seal it
First, put an appropriate amount of fresh coffee beans into a plastic bag and make sure the seal is tight. This is to prevent the crumbs from splashing out.
Step 2: Tap the beans lightly with a hammer or roll them with a rolling pin
Place the coffee beans in the bag on a flat, hard surface and tap them gently with a hammer or roll them with a rolling pin. This will break the beans into smaller particles.
Step 3: Use a meat grinder or juicer (optional)
If you have a meat grinder or juicer, you can use it to further grind the coffee beans. Place the already pounded coffee particles into the meat grinder or juicer and press the switch to grind.
Step 4: Filter and save
Finally, use a sieve to sift the ground coffee particles to remove larger debris. Then, store the remaining fine particles in a clean, airtight container.
Precautions
- Use caution during hand grinding to avoid injury.
- Hand-brew fresh coffee immediately after grinding to preserve the best taste.
- The texture of hand-ground coffee beans may not be as fine as those ground by machine, but they can also bring a special taste and experience.
in conclusion
Although there is no professional grinder, you can also grind the coffee beans manually. You only need to prepare the required materials and follow the steps to enjoy the delicious coffee you made yourself.
