The whole process requires patience and skills, but the final result is definitely worth a try. This transformation journey not only allows people to taste delicious coffee, but also a spiritual enjoyment and experience.

In the busy modern life, coffee machines have become an indispensable daily necessity for many families. Its quick and convenient operation allows people to enjoy a cup of fragrant coffee in the busy work interval. When the coffee machine breaks down or there is no coffee machine, are we out of coffee? The answer is of course no. Let me take you to explore how to make delicious coffee from coffee beans without a coffee machine.

1. Preparation

We need to prepare some basic tools: a kettle or pot, a clean sieve or fine cheesecloth, a tool for grinding coffee beans (if you don’t have a special grinder, you can use the back of a knife or a rolling pin), and make sure your coffee beans are fresh and of good quality.

2. Grinding of coffee beans

Grinding coffee beans is a key step in making coffee. The purpose of grinding is to allow the coffee beans to release their inherent aroma and flavor. In the absence of a professional grinder, we can put the coffee beans between the back and blade of the knife, gently tap or roll the handle to break the coffee beans into appropriate particle size, or use a rolling pin to gently roll on the coffee beans to achieve the same effect, but be careful not to over-grind to avoid turning it into powder.

3. Boil water

The next step is to prepare hot water. The temperature of water has a crucial impact on the taste of coffee. The water temperature should be controlled between 90°C and 95°C. In the absence of a thermometer, we can roughly judge the water temperature by observing the boiling of water. When the water starts to emit small bubbles, it can be considered to be the right temperature.

4. Brewing process

Put the ground coffee powder into a sieve or fine gauze, hang it above the kettle or pot, slowly pour hot water into the sieve containing the coffee powder, and let the hot water flow through the coffee powder. This process requires patience, because every drop of hot water will take away the aroma and taste of the coffee beans. The brewing time can be adjusted according to personal taste, usually between 3 and 5 minutes. The longer the time, the richer the coffee will taste.

5. Enjoy the results

When the coffee is brewed, you will find that the liquid under the screen has turned into an attractive coffee color. You can drink it directly or add milk, sugar and other condiments according to your personal preference. Although compared with the coffee made by a professional coffee machine, this handmade coffee may be slightly lacking in taste and concentration, but its unique aroma and the fun of handmade making make people feel more intimate and satisfied.

In the absence of a coffee machine, we can still enjoy a cup of delicious coffee. This is not only a life skill, but also a love for life and a spirit of exploration. When we learn to make delicious coffee with simple methods, we may find more beauty and fun in life. In this process, we gain not only the aroma of coffee, but also the love and understanding of life.
