Coffee is a must-have drink for many people every morning, and the perfect cup of coffee needs to be carefully roasted and brewed. Here's how to brew a perfect cup of coffee with a rich and full-flavor from freshly roasted coffee beans.
First of all, it is very important to choose the right coffee beans. Freshness is key, so it is recommended to buy whole, unshelled coffee beans and grind them on site before use. This ensures that the aroma and flavor substances in the coffee beans are retained to the greatest extent. In addition, coffees of different types and origins have different tastes and flavor characteristics, so you can choose according to your personal preferences.
Secondly, it is very important to control the water temperature during the brewing process. If the water temperature is too high, the bitter taste will increase, while if the water temperature is too low, the aroma components in the coffee cannot be fully extracted. Ideally, the water temperature should be between 90℃-96℃. If there is no professional equipment to measure the water temperature, you can simply wait a while after boiling before brewing.
Finally, brewing time and ratio are also important factors that affect the taste of coffee. Generally speaking, about 500 ml of water is needed for every 50 grams of coffee powder. If you like a strong taste, you can increase the amount of coffee powder appropriately. The brewing time is usually between 3-4 minutes. Too long will increase the bitterness. In addition, you can use a slow drip machine or manual brewing equipment to control the water flow speed and uniformity during the brewing process.
