1. Basic coffee brewing method

The basic coffee brewing method is the simplest and most direct method. Choose suitable fresh coffee beans, grind them into appropriate coarseness, use a high-quality coffee machine or hand-brewed pot, control the water temperature, and you can brew a cup of fragrant coffee.

2. Italian Espresso

Espresso is the basis of many coffee drinks. Coffee powder is made into concentrated liquid through high-pressure steam. It has a rich and strong taste and is suitable for people who like strong flavors. The key to making espresso lies in the working pressure of the coffee machine and the grinding degree of the coffee beans.

3. Latte

Latte is the perfect combination of espresso and milk. First make the espresso, then heat the hot milk to warm, use a manual or automatic steam coffee machine to make delicate milk foam, and finally mix it with the espresso, and a cup of smooth latte is ready.

4. Cappuccino

The difference between cappuccino and latte lies in the ratio of milk foam. Cappuccino has richer milk foam and a smoother taste. When making it, you need to pay attention to the ratio and degree of fusion of milk foam and coffee.

5. Americano

American coffee is a method of brewing basic coffee by increasing the amount of hot water to make the coffee concentration lighter. It is suitable for people who like a refreshing taste. When making it, you need to pay attention to controlling the water temperature and extraction time to avoid over-extraction and excessive bitterness.

6. Cold Brew Iced Coffee

Cold brew iced coffee is made by soaking coffee beans in cold water for several hours or even overnight. This method can extract more flavor components, making the coffee taste mellower while reducing bitterness and sourness. When making it, fresh coffee beans must be used and the soaking time must be controlled.

7. Mocha Coffee

Mocha coffee is a method of combining basic coffee with ingredients such as chocolate sauce and cream. When making it, you need to first pour a sweet base such as chocolate sauce or syrup into the cup, then brew basic coffee and add an appropriate amount of milk or milk foam, and finally garnish it with cream and chocolate chips.

8. French Press Coffee

French press coffee is a simple and practical production method. The ground coffee beans are placed in a French press with hot water and soaked for a period of time. The residue is separated from the liquid under pressure to obtain a rich and mellow coffee liquid. This method can fully release the flavor substances of the coffee beans to make the coffee taste richer and more layered.
