In a busy life, a cup of fragrant coffee can always bring a sense of comfort. Coffee is not only a drink, but also a reflection of a life attitude. How to make a perfect cup of coffee? Today, let's explore the methods and recipes of various coffees.

1. Hand-brewed coffee

Hand brewing coffee may seem simple, but it requires precise control. Choose coffee beans suitable for hand brewing and grind them into particles the size of fine sugar. The choice of coffee beans directly determines the taste of the coffee. Be careful when choosing. Fold the filter paper and put it into the filter cup, then pour in the ground coffee powder. Use 92℃-96℃ hot water to brew evenly, control the water flow speed and direction, and ensure that each grain of coffee powder can be fully extracted. The extraction time is generally controlled at 2 minutes to 2 and a half minutes. Too long or too short will affect the taste.

2. Latte

Latte coffee is the first choice of many people. The key to making latte is the whipping of milk foam. Pour the milk into a pot and heat it to warm, then use a manual or automatic steam coffee machine to whip the milk foam. The whipped milk foam should be delicate and shiny. Pour an appropriate amount of coffee into the cup, then slowly pour in the whipped milk foam, and lightly scratch the surface with a spoon, and a beautiful cup of latte is ready.

3. Mocha Coffee

Mocha coffee combines the richness of coffee and the sweetness of chocolate. The key to making mocha lies in the perfect combination of chocolate sauce and coffee. Pour a proper amount of chocolate sauce at the bottom of the cup, then pour in the brewed coffee, then take a proper amount of milk foam to cover the surface of the coffee, and sprinkle some cocoa powder as decoration. The sweetness and bitterness of each sip are intertwined just right, leaving people with endless aftertaste.

4. Cold Brew Iced Coffee

Cold brew iced coffee is the best choice in the hot summer. Grind the coffee beans into fine powder, put them into a special cold brew pot or container, add cold water, and refrigerate for more than 12 hours. The extracted coffee has a mellow taste and can fully release the aroma of the coffee beans. Adding ice cubes before drinking or drinking it directly are both good choices for cooling down.

5. Caramel Macchiato

Caramel Macchiato is a very popular coffee drink in recent years. When making it, first pour the brewed espresso into the cup, then add hot milk and milk foam to form a layered visual effect, sprinkle some caramel sauce and crushed caramel as decoration, and a cup of sweet caramel macchiato is ready.
