The secrets of brewing coffee beans are revealed, so you can drink the delicious coffee!

Coffee Bean Selection

To brew a delicious cup of coffee, you first need to choose high-quality coffee beans. Coffee beans from different regions and varieties have unique flavor characteristics, and you can choose according to your personal taste preferences.

For those who like a strong taste, you can choose deeply roasted coffee beans. This type of coffee beans is usually darker in color, shiny on the surface, and has a strong and bitter taste.

If you like a fresh and soft taste, you can choose medium or light roasted coffee beans. These coffee beans are usually lighter in color, without obvious oiliness on the surface, and have a distinct and soft taste.

Grinding method and coarseness

When brewing coffee, the grinding method and coarseness are also important factors affecting the taste. Different brewing methods require coffee powder of different coarseness.

For those who use drip pots or hand-poured kettles, you can choose medium-coarse ground coffee powder. This ensures that the water passes through the coffee powder at a moderate speed, fully extracting the aroma and taste of the coffee.

For those who use equipment such as French press or espresso machine to brew coffee, they need to choose finer ground coffee powder. This allows the water to have a larger contact area with the coffee powder, extracting more oils and dissolved substances.

Water quality and temperature

In addition to choosing high-quality coffee beans and the right grinding method, water quality and temperature are also important factors affecting taste.

First, make sure you use clean, odorless, oxygen-rich water for brewing. If your tap water has an odor or is hard, it is recommended to use a filter to treat it.

Secondly, you need to control the water temperature during the brewing process. Generally, you can let the boiling water stand for a while and let it cool down to about 90 degrees Celsius. If you brew directly with boiling water, it may cause a bitter taste or too strong sour taste.

Timing and brewing method

In the process of brewing coffee, time control and brewing method are also key. Different coffee brewing methods require different time control.

For devices such as drip pots or hand-poured pots, generally, pour the hot water evenly over the coffee grounds and maintain a uniform speed. The whole process takes about 2-4 minutes.

For devices such as French presses or espresso machines, you need to adjust the pressure and time according to your personal taste. Generally speaking, finer ground coffee powder uses higher pressure and shorter time to produce a richer taste.

Try and adjust

Finally, I would like to remind everyone that in the pursuit of excellent tasting and mellow coffee, you must be patient and make multiple attempts and adjustments.

Each coffee bean, each grinding method, and each water temperature will bring a different taste experience. By trying many times and recording the taste characteristics you like and dislike, you can gradually find a brewing method that suits your taste preferences.

At the same time, you can also try adding some condiments such as sugar, milk or vanilla syrup to enhance the taste and layering of coffee.

Summarize

By choosing high-quality coffee beans, the appropriate grinding method and degree of coarseness, controlling the water quality and temperature, and adjusting the time and brewing method, and finally making multiple attempts and adjustments, you will be able to brew a mellow coffee with an excellent taste.

Different people have different preferences for taste. In the pursuit of perfect taste, you should adjust according to your own preferences. I hope everyone can enjoy every cup of delicious coffee that is carefully brewed!
