Hand-poured coffee tutorial: take your coffee taste to the next level

Coffee is a popular drink with rich taste and aroma. Hand brewing is a method that can better show the flavor characteristics of coffee beans. Here we will introduce how to make delicious coffee with rich taste and aroma by hand brewing.

Prepare tools and materials

First, we need to prepare the following tools and materials:

• Freshly ground coffee beans
• Filter paper or metal filter
• Electronic measuring spoon or volumetric spoon
• Kettle or kettle heater
• Glass pour-over kettle or ceramic pour-over device (e.g. V60, Indian filter, etc.)
• Stirring stick or stirring spoon

  Step 1: Boil water and preheat appliances

  First, we need to pour the right amount of water into the kettle or heater and heat it to the right temperature. Generally speaking, the water temperature required for brewing coffee should be between 90°C and 96°C. At the same time, we also need to rinse and preheat the hand-brewed kettle or utensil with some of the preheated water.

  Step 2: Prepare the coffee powder

  Use an electronic measuring spoon or a volumetric spoon to put the appropriate amount of coffee beans into the hand brewing pot. Generally speaking, about 10 grams of coffee powder is needed for every 100 ml of coffee. Fine-tuning can be done according to personal taste preferences and adjustments.

  Step 3: Soak in boiling water

  After the boiling water drops to the appropriate temperature (about 90°C-96°C), slowly and evenly pour it into the hand brewing pot to contact and soak the coffee powder. This process is called "bloom". During this process, you will see the coffee powder begin to bubble, which is caused by the reaction of hot water with the carbon dioxide in the coffee powder.

  Step 4: Stirring and adding water

  Use a stirring stick or a stirring spoon to gently mix the coffee powder and hot water, making sure all the coffee particles are wet. Then, slowly and evenly pour the remaining boiling water into the hand-pour pot. During this process, we need to control the injection speed and angle to ensure uniform soaking.

  Step 5: Wait for extraction

  Once the infusion process is completed, we need to wait for a while for the coffee to be fully extracted. Generally speaking, the entire extraction process takes about 2-4 minutes. You can use a timer to time it and adjust it according to your taste preferences.

  Step 6: Pour and Enjoy

  
  

  When the required time is reached, place the filter paper or metal filter on the prepared cup, carefully tilt the top of the hand-pour pot and slowly pour the brewed coffee into the cup. During this process, try to avoid contact between the filter paper or metal filter and the coffee to prevent the dregs from entering the final drink.

  Now, you have successfully made a cup of hand-brewed coffee with a rich taste and aroma! Come and enjoy this unique taste!
