「Bingge」｜Someone asked me, what is "hand-brewed coffee"?

Someone asked me what is "hand brewed coffee"

I say it's a way of life

It is a seasoning for social circles

A source of inspiration

The purest coffee aesthetics

( It’s so artistic~~~ )

Hand-brewed coffee is currently a popular way of tasting coffee in Europe

A kettle

A flannel filter cloth

A filter dish

Just water and coffee grounds

Single variety coffee beans

That can bring out the purest coffee itself

The most original taste

A decent amount of strong coffee will get me high

It gives me warmth and extraordinary strength at the same time

This is how French Emperor Napoleon felt about coffee

At that time, I had no idea about hand brewed coffee.

First time walking into a boutique coffee shop

Looking at the menu

Kenya, Sumatra, Yirgacheffe…

Then I was confused

Are you sure these aren't place names?

So I gritted my teeth

I ordered a Kenyan drink tremblingly.

And said that this life made me

The last two words of regret:

Less sugar

Then the boy opposite showed

A brilliant smile

They say there is no sugar in Kenya.

I looked embarrassed and said one more sentence:

" Then please be careful "

The above is my first unbearable experience of drinking hand pour over

So that one day I can spill the coffee back

Regain my lost dignity

I decided to go home and brush up on all the coffee knowledge

These are the valuables that I have treasured for many years!

So that you no longer go in with your chest puffed out

Coming out in disgrace...

What is single origin coffee?

We're in a cafe.

The place names you see are single origin coffee

Single origin coffee: coffee from a single origin

Many coffee varieties are named directly after their place of origin.

For example, Kenya, Colombia, Panama , etc.

So at first glance, the menu looks like a world map.

Single origin coffee is usually brewed by hand

The purpose is to highlight the flavor of the place of origin

Most of them are lightly roasted beans.

This makes it easier to bring out the flavor of the coffee

What beans are used for hand brewed coffee?

It depends on personal preference.

Brazilian or Colombian coffee beans

Anyway, anything produced in South America is fine.

Medium roasted South American beans are balanced and mellow

Suitable for beginners

Also, coffee beans should be consumed within 21 days after roasting.

This way the coffee beans will have their original flavor.

Yirgacheffe is a must-try

After getting serious about single origin coffee

The thing I drink the most is Yirgacheffe.

Yirgacheffe from Ethiopia

Has a unique floral and soft citrus scent

Fresh and bright taste

Soft and balanced taste

No milk or sugar

Let the rich texture and unique soft floral fragrance

Brush your taste buds

Leaving endless aftertaste...

And the product is stable, and the requirements for brewing are not very high

Suitable for students who are trying hand brewed coffee for the first time

Have a glass of Geisha

You may not know about cat poop coffee

You may not know that Mocha is a port in Yemen.

Of course, you may not have heard of the world-class coffee Jamaica Blue Mountain

But you have to know a name:

Gesha

The king of single products produced in Ethiopia, Gesha

It is the dream of every coffee lover.

You might be surprised at how good it tastes.

It's not like your impression of coffee at all

Instead, it is more like a sweet and sour fruit tea

Rich floral and fruity aroma

However, it is undeniable that

Once you take a sip, you won’t be able to forget it!

The flavor wheel that makes you more advanced

Since we are talking about floral and fruity aromas, we must also know something about the flavor wheel.

I was actually confused when I first saw the coffee flavor wheel.

Because I never knew a cup of coffee

I can taste so many flavors.

Chasing flavors on the flavor wheel

It is also the most interesting place to drink single products

Learn to express flavor using the flavor wheel

The most advanced skill

Let's talk about it below

How to use high-level words to describe the taste we drink

Fruity

This type of coffee has a very distinct fruity note.

It has a strong sour taste, like citrus or berries

Typical Representatives

Kenya , at this time you can say:

"Wow, what a distinct citrus flavor, the sourness is very bright!"

Chocolate flavor, this type of coffee will have a heavier roasted flavor

Similar to unsweetened dark chocolate

Although bitter, the taste is mellow and smooth

Typical representative: Colombia, at this time you can say

"Yeah, it tastes like nuts and dark chocolate, and it has a very smooth texture."

Why do we drink pour-over?

The first reason , I think, is:

Hand-brewed coffee gives me a

Enjoy the coffee moment

For example, you can go to the company in the morning and make a cup of coffee.

Looking at the envious eyes of colleagues around me

What a classy person.

The second reason is:

Give me the supreme feeling of standing out from the crowd

When riding outdoors

When the partners all took out a bottle of Nongfu Spring

I quietly opened the tumbler

Have a glass of cold brew from last night's fridge

I glanced at the jealous expressions of my fellow riders from the corner of my eye.

The third reason is:

A new option for midnight

Now many people like to have a drink in the evening

But compared to going to a bar

Drink fake wine until you are low high and drunk

There is also the risk of drunk driving

I prefer to go to a quiet cafe at night

Order a glass of Gesha SOE

At least I think it's more real

Finally, I think the most important thing about drinking hand-brewed

The main reason why I have been eating out for many years is:

You never know what the next drink will be?

The coffee you drink in different cafes tastes completely different

And drink a cup of unknown coffee

The feeling it brings is exactly the same as scratching a lottery ticket...
