Some people regard it as the source of morning energy, some people regard it as the comfort of afternoon time. It is coffee, a drink popular all over the world, a classic, a culture, and a life attitude. Coffee has become a drink that can be seen everywhere in our lives.

When drinking coffee at home alone, hand brewing is the most convenient. I recently bought a batch of coffee utensils online. Every morning when I brew coffee, I feel very happy. Next, I can't wait to brew a cup of coffee! There are also sharing on how to make hand brewed hot coffee, iced coffee, lemon/orange special blend, brown sugar coffee milk cap... Turn your home into a coffee shop, let's take a look!

Hand-poured hot coffee, latte

I take time to make a cup of coffee every morning. My usual coffee powder to water ratio is 1:10-13. I grind the coffee beans into the size of sugar grains, steam them first and then add water in batches. The coffee brewed in this way tastes delicious!

One spoonful is about 7 grams of coffee powder.

Because the filter has a fast flow rate, I will try to slow down the water injection speed to allow the coffee powder to fully combine with the water and release the coffee flavor. It takes about 4 minutes from steaming to hand pouring. Note: How to time it? At this time, you really need this small and beautiful mini timer. The hourglass time is exactly four minutes.

Note: Every time you brew coffee by hand, turn the hourglass upside down and start timing. Look at the hourglass and remind yourself to take it slow. Don't add water too quickly. Try to let the water combine with the coffee particles to fully extract the coffee flavor.

For breakfast, simply fry a sunny-side-up egg and some ham slices, and then have a cup of hand-brewed hot coffee. It is also a pleasure to have breakfast leisurely at home!

If you don’t want to drink black coffee, you can also heat the milk, use an electric milk frother to make milk foam, and then add black coffee to make latte.

The electric milk frother is very easy to operate. First, bury the milk frother in the fresh milk, then press the start button. Next, pull the milk frother up a little to beat air into the milk. When the volume of the milk is twice as large, it is done.

Sometimes when I want a sweeter latte, I’ll add maple syrup or chocolate sauce. It’s fun to make different coffees according to my mood.

Hand-dripped coffee: lemon and orange

Lemon and coffee taste surprisingly good! I also want to try it. Anyway, I have coffee utensils and brewing coffee doesn’t take much time. I can try it at home with fresh lemons and oranges. The proportions are also arbitrary.

Put honey on the bottom layer, then put lemon juice and orange juice into glasses respectively, and add ice cubes and Sprite.

Finally, slowly pour in the brewed coffee and it's done! The gradient color is not that obvious, it just has the feeling of honey lemon juice and honey orange juice with coffee flavor. Wow... I'm not bragging, it tastes great!

Hand-brewed iced coffee, brown sugar milk coffee

How to make hand-brewed iced coffee? What is the coffee powder to water ratio? How much ice cubes?

The coffee powder to water ratio is usually 1:10-13. If the coffee powder to water ratio is 1:10, it means 30g coffee powder to 300ml water. If you want to brew iced coffee by hand, split the 300ml into half, 150ml hot water + 150g ice cubes.

If you want to drink iced coffee without the ice, brew the coffee by hand and simmer it in the pot with ice cubes for two minutes.

Then put the stopper on the coffee bottle, and the large ice cubes will be blocked, allowing the iced coffee to flow out slowly.

A cup of decocted hand-brewed iced coffee is ready!

If you want to drink iced coffee with ice cubes, you don't need to use the coffee bottle stopper, just pour it out directly.

There is nothing better than drinking an iced coffee on a hot day, but since I have an electric milk frother, I don’t want to leave it idle. I take out the fresh cream from the refrigerator, add a little salt to the cream, and then use the milk frother to beat it until it is twice as big.

Place it on the iced coffee and sprinkle a layer of brown sugar on it. The brown sugar milk cap iced coffee is ready.

I really like this kind of coffee time, admiring the gradient color of the fresh cream slowly falling, happily enjoying the brown sugar milk iced coffee, and having cakes and snacks as afternoon tea.

Key points of home brewed coffee

There are many details to pay attention to when hand-brewing coffee. Water temperature, water-powder ratio, rotary water injection, water flow strength and speed, extraction time, etc. are all factors that affect the taste of coffee.

To make hand-brewed coffee at home, you need to carefully select the utensils you need, such as a narrow-mouthed hand-brewed pot, extraction filter paper or filter cup, and coffee pot, etc. The hot water used for pouring water must also be measured to an appropriate temperature. You must also be careful not to be distracted when hand-brewed. You must hold the hand-brewed pot and pour water in a steady circle to make a good cup of coffee.

What to do if there are coffee stains on the hand-poured coffee maker

The method is very simple. Just pour some baking soda into a coffee cup or coffee pot, add some clean water to mix it into a liquid, and then rub it repeatedly with a brush! You don't have to use all your strength to scrub it off like you usually do. Just add baking soda and it will gently remove the coffee stains.

If it is a coffee pot with long-term accumulation, it may take several minutes to brush it, but the coffee cup is really effective in seconds! It is really a refreshing feeling to be able to easily brush off the coffee stains. Everyone should take out your favorite utensils and try to maintain them!

Brew your own cup of coffee and create your own personal coffee shop at home. You can have a cup of coffee anytime you want at home. You can also experiment with any special flavor you want and change it according to your mood. In a busy life, it is beautiful to brew your own coffee and enjoy the time of drinking a cup of coffee. It is a short period of detachment, relaxation, or meditation.
