Coffee machine production guide: from coffee beans to the perfect cup of aromatic coffee

Coffee Bean Selection

To make a cup of fragrant coffee, you first need to choose high-quality coffee beans. There are various types of coffee beans available on the market, such as Arabica and Robusta. Arabica is one of the most common and highest quality varieties, which has lower acidity and bitterness, and has a floral and fruity aroma. Robusta is more bitter and strong.

Grinding coffee beans

In order to get the best taste and flavor, we need to use freshly ground coffee powder for brewing. Of course, if you don't have ready-made coffee powder to use, you need to buy an electric or manual coffee machine that is suitable for your family's usage and can adjust different powder sizes (such as fine, medium, and coarse).

Water quality has a significant impact on brewing

Water is one of the most important factors in the brewing process. Try to use pure, clear water with no odor or chlorine residue to make coffee. If your tap water is of poor quality, consider using a filter or buying bottled water.

Brewing ratio and time

The ratio of brewing coffee is very important. Generally speaking, about 15 grams of coffee powder is needed for every 250 ml of water. Of course, this ratio can be adjusted according to personal taste. In addition, the soaking time is also one of the key factors affecting the flavor of coffee. Usually, about 4-5 minutes is enough.

Choose the right temperature

Correctly controlling the water temperature during brewing is crucial to making the perfect cup of coffee. The optimal temperature range is between 90°C and 96°C. If the water temperature is too high, it will cause a bitter taste; if it is too low, the flavor compounds in the coffee beans will not be fully extracted.

Pour and enjoy

After the brewing process is complete, pour the freshly brewed coffee into the pre-prepared and heated cup and enjoy it as soon as possible to preserve its best flavor and aroma. If desired, you can add sugar, milk or other condiments according to your personal taste.

Cleaning and maintenance

Finally, remember to regularly clean and maintain your coffee machine to ensure it functions properly and prolongs its life. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and replace wearing parts such as filters regularly.

With these steps, you can make a cup of delicious coffee at home with a coffee machine! Remember to keep trying and adjusting each step to find the perfect recipe that suits your taste.
