Coffee is an intoxicating drink that can bring us a refreshing feeling and unlimited energy. To make a fragrant and delicious coffee, it is very important to choose good coffee beans. This article will introduce how to make a cup of fragrant and delicious coffee with raw coffee beans as the center.

Select high-quality green coffee beans

First of all, before making fragrant coffee, we need to choose high-quality green coffee beans. High-quality green coffee beans usually have the following characteristics: bright color, smooth surface, no defects or cracks, and rich and uniform color.

Secondly, when choosing green coffee beans, you should also consider the origin and type. Green coffee beans from different origins and types will bring different taste and flavor characteristics. For example, the Brazilian production area often provides a smooth and chocolate-like large germ type (ArabICA); Colombia is famous for its flat street type (Excelso), with a soft acidity and a balanced taste.

Roasting Green Coffee Beans

Once you have selected high-quality green coffee beans, the next step is roasting. Roasting is the process of heating the green coffee beans to the appropriate temperature and causing them to undergo chemical changes. By varying degrees of roasting, the flavor and aroma of the coffee beans can be adjusted.

For making aromatic coffee, we usually choose medium to dark roasting. This degree of roasting will form a layer of oil on the surface of the coffee beans and produce a rich and deep taste. At the same time, medium to dark roasting can also reduce acidity and increase bitterness.

The next step is to bring out the rich aroma, bright color, smoothness without cracks, and the absence of impurities or defects obtained after completing the above two steps so that it can be dissolved in water and finally form coffee for people to enjoy.

To achieve this goal, we need to grind the roasted coffee beans into a powder suitable for brewing. Usually, this step is completed using a grinder or a manual grinder. Depending on the brewing method and personal taste preference, you can choose different degrees of fineness.

Brewing strong coffee

The last step is to brew the ground coffee using the appropriate method. Here are a few common and easy methods:

1. Starbucks coffee drip method: put an appropriate amount of coffee powder into the filter paper and slowly pour boiling water on it. Wait until the water completely passes through the filter paper and then you can enjoy the delicious aroma.

2. French press: First add boiling water to the French press to preheat, then add the appropriate amount of coffee powder and the remaining boiling water, and gently press the piston to release the pressure. After about 4 minutes, slowly press the piston to allow the liquid to pass through the filter and flow into the cup.

3. Espresso: Use an espresso machine, put an appropriate amount of coffee powder into the filter, and use high-pressure steam to make the water and coffee powder fully contact. Finally, you can get a cup of strong espresso.

Conclusion

By selecting high-quality green coffee beans, roasting and grinding, and the right brewing method, we can make fragrant and delicious coffee. Whether it is to start a new day in the morning or to take a break in the afternoon, a cup of fragrant coffee can bring us pleasure and enjoyment.
