Introduction to hand-poured coffee | The simplest brewing solution of the world champion

Many people always have questions about coffee brewing, and they cannot make coffee that tastes like coffee shops at home. After thinking about it for a long time, I will share with you a brewing solution developed by 2016 World Brewing Champion Tetsu Kasuya. It can be said to be quite convenient. Even Tetsu Kasuya himself thinks it is too simple and "lazy". It allows everyone to easily brew a cup of delicious coffee at home.

Brewing Details

I believe many of you will not believe it after reading this. It is just like that. You are not mistaken! It is that simple!

The entire brewing method only has one section. After reading it, Patrik Rolf, the runner-up of the 2019 World Coffee Brewing Championship, asked Kasuya Tetsu, "Is this a brewing method without stewing and steaming?" Kasuya Tetsu joked, "This is all about stewing and steaming~"

In terms of grinding degree, Tetsu Kasuya's brewing method changed the coarse grinding of the previous 4:6 brewing method to a finer grinding degree. Tetsu Kasuya said that the coarser grinding degree makes the acidity of the coffee more obvious, and he personally prefers a cup of sweeter coffee, so he chose a finer grinding degree to bring out more sweetness in the coffee.

The water injection time is also very fast. All 300 grams of water are injected in 15 seconds, which is a speed of 20 grams per second. The rest is to wait for the coffee to be filtered.

The ratio was 1:12, a slightly lower ratio (generally recommended between 1:14 and 1:18). Kasuya Tetsu said that since the extraction time will be relatively short, around 1 minute 30 to 1 minute 40 seconds, a stronger extraction intensity is required, so the ratio needs to be adjusted to a shorter ratio to obtain more flavor, which is now 1:12.

Final Thoughts

Even Mr. Tetsu Kasuya himself said that this brewing method is too simple, but it may not be suitable for all coffee beans, and it is even less likely to suit everyone's taste preferences, so everyone should try other brewing methods. However, coffee lovers who have just started may wish to start with this method, which is simple and has a sense of ritual.
