2. Coffee adjustment: from basic to personalized, adjust your taste

After getting a suitable coffee machine, how to adjust it to make delicious coffee becomes the key. Choosing the right coffee beans is crucial. Coffee beans from different origins have different flavors. You can try a variety of beans to find the taste that suits you best.

The grinding of coffee beans is also key. Coarse grinding and fine grinding will affect the taste and extraction speed of the coffee. Fine grinding can extract the flavor of the coffee faster, while coarse grinding makes the taste richer. Try different grinding degrees to find the balance that suits you best.

Next is the choice of water temperature. Too high or too low a temperature will affect the taste of the coffee. It is generally recommended to use water close to boiling point for brewing, and the extraction time must also be properly controlled to ensure the perfect combination of the mellowness and aroma of the coffee.

However, in order to make personalized coffee, it requires many attempts and practices. You can gradually adjust the basic recipe, increase or decrease the types and proportions of coffee beans, change parameters such as grinding degree and water temperature, and explore your own unique taste. Each adjustment is a new experience, and each attempt will make the coffee more in line with your preferences.

In addition to basic brewing techniques, you can also try adding ingredients and condiments such as milk, syrup, and vanilla to add more layers and flavors to the coffee. If you want to make latte, you need to master the techniques of heating and frothing milk to perfectly blend it with coffee; if you want to make caramel macchiato, you need to understand how to mix the ratio of coffee to syrup.
