Coffee, this seemingly simple drink, hides endless charm. From the selection of coffee beans to grinding and then to the brewing process, each step is related to the final taste and quality. But how to brew coffee to truly experience the aroma and charm of coffee? Let's explore the correct way to brew coffee and take you to unlock the art of coffee making.

1. Preparation

We need to prepare the necessary tools and materials, including: fresh coffee beans, coffee machine or hand brewing pot, bean grinder, measuring cup, kettle, etc. A clean coffee making environment is also very important.

2. Selection and grinding of coffee beans

The choice of coffee beans directly affects the taste of coffee. Dark roasted coffee beans have a strong taste and are suitable for adding milk or sugar to blend; while light roasted coffee beans have a fresh taste and are suitable for pure coffee. After choosing the coffee beans, you should choose the appropriate grinding degree according to the coffee machine or hand-brew pot used. The coffee machine requires a coarser grinding degree, while the hand-brew pot requires a finer grinding degree.

3. Specific steps for making coffee

1. Preheat the coffee machine : Preheating the coffee machine is very important to ensure that it maintains a stable temperature during the brewing process, allowing the coffee to be extracted more evenly.

2. Add coffee beans : Add the ground coffee beans into the coffee machine, being careful not to add too much or too little to avoid affecting the extraction effect.

3. Control the water temperature : The water temperature for brewing coffee is also critical. The water temperature should be between 90℃-96℃. Too high or too low water temperature will affect the taste of the coffee.

4. Extraction time : The length of extraction time is also an important factor affecting the taste of coffee. Different types of coffee beans and different brewing utensils require different extraction times. Deep roasted coffee beans have a slightly shorter extraction time, while light roasted coffee beans require a longer extraction time.

5. Filter and pour out : After extraction is completed, use the coffee machine's built-in filtration system or the filter paper of the hand-brew pot to separate the coffee from the residue, and then pour the mellow coffee into the cup.

4. Coffee Tasting and Enjoyment

Brewed coffee is only the first step. How to taste and enjoy it is also an art. When tasting coffee, we can first smell the aroma of the coffee and feel its rich fragrance; then take a sip of coffee to feel its taste and flavor; and savor the remaining aroma and aftertaste. While enjoying coffee, you can also listen to some light music or read a good book to relax and please your body and mind.

Tips :

1. Keep relaxed when making coffee and avoid being nervous or impatient.

2. Use clean water to brew coffee to ensure the taste and quality of the coffee.

3. Different coffee beans and brewing utensils require constant trial and adjustment to find the taste that suits you best.
