How to brew delicious coffee?

Coffee is a must-have drink for many people every morning. It not only refreshes the mind, but also has a rich taste and aroma. However, brewing a delicious cup of coffee is not an easy task. Here are three key steps to help you brew the perfect cup of coffee.

First of all, it is very important to choose the right coffee beans. Freshness is one of the key factors in judging the quality of coffee beans. When buying, you can choose the beans with the roasting date marked on the package, and try to buy beans that have been roasted recently. In addition, it is also important to choose beans that suit your taste and aroma characteristics according to your personal taste preferences. If you like a rich taste and dark cocoa flavor, you can choose dark roast or French roast, etc.; if you like a refreshing and soft flavor, you can choose medium or light roast.

Secondly, it is also important to use the correct water temperature during the brewing process. If the water temperature is too high, the coffee will be bitter and lack sweetness; if the water temperature is too low, the coffee will taste bland. Generally speaking, the most suitable water temperature for brewing coffee is between 90°C-96°C. You can use a kettle to heat the water to the appropriate temperature, and then wait for a while for it to cool down to the appropriate range. In addition, you can also use a coffee machine with a constant temperature function or manually control the water temperature.

Finally, pay attention to the time and proportion during the brewing process. Generally speaking, each cup of coffee requires about 15 grams of coffee powder and 250 ml of water. Put the ground coffee powder into the filter paper or metal filter, and evenly pour boiling water to soak it. At the beginning, you can first inject a small amount of boiling water to wet the coffee powder and wait for 30 seconds to release more aroma, and then slowly inject the remaining boiling water until the brewing is completed.
