How to grind coffee beans manually
Coffee is an essential drink for many people in the morning, and freshly ground coffee beans can bring better taste and aroma. Although most people use a coffee machine to grind coffee beans, if there is no coffee machine, we can also achieve this goal manually. This article will introduce a method to grind coffee beans manually without a coffee machine.
Preparing tools
First, we need to prepare some tools. Here are the items you need:
- 1. A sturdy, easy-to-grip mixing stick or wooden rolling pin.
- 2. Frying pan or iron skillet.
- 3. Place on the table to prevent sliding and protect the table surface from damage.
- 4. High-quality, fresh coffee beans that suit your taste preferences, with less powder, complete appearance without cracks and discoloration, and fresher coffee beans.
Steps to grinding coffee beans
Next, we will introduce the steps of manually grinding coffee beans in detail:
1. Roasting coffee beans
First, heat a pan or wok to medium. Then, pour the freshest coffee beans into the pot and stir gently with a stirring stick or wooden rolling pin. Keep stirring for about 5 minutes until you can smell the rich coffee aroma.
2. Cooling and separation
Next, turn off the stove and let the coffee in the pot cool for a few minutes. Once it has cooled, use your fingers or another tool to separate the hardened, granulated parts. These granules are what you need to brew your coffee.
3. Grind the rest
The remaining part that has not hardened and is still in the form of whole particles needs further processing to get coffee powder. Put these particles in a pan or iron pot and grind them lightly with a stirring stick or wooden rolling pin. You can choose the fineness according to your taste preference, but be careful not to over-grind.
4. Filter and save
The final step is to filter the ground coffee to remove any large particles or impurities. You can use a paper filter, metal filter, or other available filtering tools to complete this step. Once filtered, store the ground coffee in a clean, airtight container away from direct sunlight.
in conclusion
While the manual method may take more time and effort, it is still an effective way to achieve freshly ground coffee beans. By using the tools and steps mentioned above, you can enjoy delicious, aromatic pour-over coffee without a coffee machine.
