The secret to brewing great coffee
Coffee is an indispensable drink for many people every morning. It can bring us a fresh feeling and a refreshing effect. To brew a cup of fragrant and delicious coffee, it is very important to choose the right coffee beans and master the correct brewing method.
Choosing the right coffee beans
There are a variety of coffee beans with different origins, roasting degrees and flavor characteristics available on the market. If you want to brew a strong coffee, it is best to choose a deep roasted coffee with a rich taste, obvious sweetness, and a certain bitter taste but not too irritating to the mouth to feel greasy or burn the tongue. This will ensure that the rich and complex flavor substances are fully released during the production process.
Calculate usage
Normally, you need about 10 grams (about 2 spoons) of coffee beans for each cup (about 150 ml) of strong coffee. So, if your Nestle coffee machine has 200 grams of coffee beans, you can brew about 20 cups of strong coffee.
Grinding coffee beans
In order to ensure a better taste and richer aroma, it is recommended to use freshly ground coffee powder. Put the appropriate amount of coffee beans into the grinder and grind them to the appropriate coarseness. Generally speaking, a finer grind (medium to fine) is required for methods such as hand pouring or dripping, while a coarser grind (medium to coarse) is required for methods such as French press or espresso.
Choose the right brewing tool
It is also very important to choose the right brewing tools according to personal preferences and needs. Common options include hand brewing pots, drippers, French presses, espresso machines, and many other methods. Different tools will give different tastes and flavors. After mastering the basic operating skills, you can try them according to your preferences.
Master the correct brewing method
No matter what brewing tool you use, you need to master the correct brewing method. First, put the ground coffee powder into the filter paper or filter, and then pour the appropriate amount of hot water according to the proportion for soaking and extraction. Different tools and personal taste preferences will vary. You can adjust the amount of coffee powder, water temperature, soaking time and other parameters to achieve the ideal aroma.
Enjoy the aromatic coffee
The last step is to enjoy your brewed coffee! Pour the freshly brewed coffee into the cup and savor its rich and complex flavor. You can choose to add appropriate amount of milk or sugar to adjust the taste and sweetness.
