Coffee bean grinding and aromatic coffee

Coffee, as a popular drink, has a long history and rich cultural connotations. The key to making a cup of strong and delicious coffee is to grind the coffee beans properly. This article will explore from different angles how to grind coffee beans to make intoxicating and fragrant coffee.

1. Coffee bean selection and storage

First of all, before making aromatic coffee, we need to choose the right coffee beans. The quality, freshness and origin will directly affect the final taste and flavor. Therefore, when buying, you should try to choose raw beans that have not been over-processed, have a short shelf life and are in intact packaging.

At the same time, there are also some key points to note in terms of storage. It is very important to store the unopened packaged raw beans in a clean, cool, ventilated place away from direct sunlight! This can maintain its freshness and aroma so that more coffee aroma can be released when grinding.

2. Selection and use of grinder

In order to grind coffee beans into powder, we need to choose a suitable coffee bean grinder. There are two types of grinders available on the market: manual and electric. The manual type is suitable for people who pursue the original experience and control strength, while the electric type is more convenient and quick.

When using a coffee bean grinder, you must first decide how fine the powder should be according to your needs. Generally speaking, the three gears of coarse, medium and fine can meet most needs. Then pour the appropriate amount of coffee beans into the container and press the switch or rotate the handle to start the operation.

3. Grinding time and water temperature control

In addition to choosing the right coffee beans and using the right equipment, you also need to pay attention to some details when performing specific operations, including factors such as different types and taste preferences.

For strong coffee, it is generally recommended to control the whole process within 20-30 seconds. If the grinding time is too long, the coffee powder will become too fine, thus affecting the flavor and taste of the coffee.

In addition, water temperature is also one of the key factors to pay attention to when making strong coffee. Generally speaking, controlling the water temperature between 90℃-95℃ can preserve the aroma and flavor of coffee beans to the greatest extent.

4. Storage and use after grinding

Once we have finished grinding the coffee beans, we need to properly store and use the freshly ground coffee.

First of all, in terms of storage, we can choose to put it in a clean, well-sealed and light-proof container. This can avoid exposure to air to cause oxidation, and can better maintain its freshness and aroma.

Secondly, the specific amount should be determined according to personal taste preference. Generally speaking, about 10g-15g per cup can meet most people's needs for strong or light taste.

5. Enjoy the aromatic coffee

Finally, we can finally taste that intoxicating cup of strong coffee! Put an appropriate amount of coffee powder into the filter cup, pour in hot water and stir gently. After it settles for a while, you can taste the rich and fragrant coffee aroma.

When enjoying the coffee, you can add appropriate amount of sugar or milk and other condiments according to your personal taste. But you need to be careful not to cover up the unique flavor of the coffee beans themselves.

Conclusion

By grinding coffee beans properly, we can make a cup of fragrant, delicious and intoxicating coffee. Selecting high-quality, fresh and well-preserved raw beans, using the right type and equipment for grinding, controlling the time and water temperature, and correctly storing and using them have completed the entire production process.
