Coffee brewing secrets revealed: perfect coffee enjoyment in just 25 steps

Coffee is a must for many people every morning. Its aroma and taste can wake up our body and mind. However, brewing a perfect cup of coffee is not an easy task. Here is a 25-step method to brew perfect coffee.

Preparation

1. Grinding beans: Choose fresh and high-quality coffee beans, and use a bean grinder to grind them into a coarseness suitable for the brewing equipment used (such as a drip pot, French press, etc.).

2. Purify water: Use a filter or purified water to remove impurities and substances such as chlorine that may be present in the water.

3. Warming Equipment: Pre-heat your brewing equipment to ensure a stable and comfortable temperature.

4. Serving container: Choose a clean, odorless container that is suitable for preserving the taste and flavor of coffee as the final serving container.

Brewing steps

5. Preheat the filter paper: Place the filter paper in the drip kettle and preheat it with hot water to remove any pulp taste that may be present.

6. Add coffee powder: Depending on the equipment used and personal taste, sprinkle the appropriate amount of coffee powder evenly on the filter paper.

7. Pour water to soak the coffee powder: Use water of appropriate temperature (usually 90°C-96°C) to slowly pour into the drip kettle to fully soak the coffee powder, and wait for 30 seconds for it to expand and release aroma.

8. Continue pouring water: Slowly and evenly add the remaining hot water to the drip kettle. Pay attention to maintaining the appropriate pouring speed and angle to ensure that the aroma and flavor substances in the coffee particles are fully extracted.

9. Wait for the draining to be completed: Adjust the draining time according to personal preference (usually 2-4 minutes), wait for all the hot water to flow out completely through the process and there is no more dripping.

10. Discard filter paper and coffee grounds: Pour the used filter paper and coffee grounds into the trash can and clean the brewing equipment.

Adjust the taste

11. Taste: Use a spoon to scoop a small sip of coffee to taste, pay attention to its aroma, acidity, bitterness and sweetness, and adjust according to personal preference.

12. Adjust the grinding degree: If you feel that the coffee is too sour or bitter, you can adjust the coarseness of the beans when you grind them next time. Finer bean powder will provide a richer taste, while coarser bean powder will produce a softer flavor.

13. Adjust the water temperature: If you find your coffee too bitter or bland, try increasing or decreasing the water temperature you use when pouring it. Higher temperatures extract more flavor, while lower temperatures produce a smoother, less pungent taste.

14. Adjust the extraction time: If you feel that the extraction time is too long or too short, you can adjust the water filling speed and the design of the drip pot to control the extraction time. A longer extraction time will produce a stronger taste, while a shorter extraction time will bring a lighter flavor.

Enjoy the perfect coffee

15. Pour into cup: Slowly pour the brewed coffee into a pre-warmed, clean and odor-free cup.

16. Appreciate the colors: Observe the color layers formed by the coffee in the cup and savor the rich flavors and aromas contained therein.

17. Breathe in the aroma: Put your nose close to the rim of the cup and take a gentle breath to let the coffee emit its tempting and rich aroma.

18. First sip: Carefully taste the first sip of coffee, swirl it on your tongue and pay attention to its acidity, bitterness, sweetness and other characteristics. Feel every detail carefully and enjoy the pleasure and nourishment that this moment brings to your body, mind and soul.

19. Taste slowly: Taste the whole cup of coffee gradually, feeling the layers and changes in it. Pay attention to the texture, aftertaste and aftertaste of the coffee in your mouth.

20. Maintain temperature: Use appropriate heat preservation equipment to keep the coffee at the appropriate temperature to ensure that its flavor remains rich when you finish the cup.

Cleaning and preservation

21. Clean the equipment: Clean the used brewing equipment thoroughly and make sure there is no residue or odor.

22. Storing Bean Powder: Store remaining unused coffee beans in a dry, airtight, light-proof container to prevent the adverse effects of oxygen, moisture and sunlight.

23. Avoid cooling and reheating: Avoid reheating coffee that has cooled down and lost its original flavor characteristics. If you need to reheat it, choose other methods other than directly heating it in the microwave or over a flame.

24. Enjoy freshness: For the best taste and flavor, try to use your coffee beans within two weeks of roasting.

25. Keep exploring: The world of coffee is endless. Different origins, roasting degrees and brewing methods will bring different experiences. Stay curious, keep exploring and enjoy every wonderful moment related to coffee.

With the above 25 steps, you can easily brew a cup of perfect and mellow coffee. Please remember to be patient and focused during the process and make fine adjustments according to your taste. May you enjoy every precious moment of immersing in the aroma and savoring the pure taste!
