From traditional brewing techniques to modern innovative recipes, we will reveal them one by one. Coffee is not only a drink, but also a reflection of a culture and lifestyle. Following this article, you will appreciate the unique charm and fun of the coffee brewing process.

Coffee, one of the most popular drinks in the world, has its charm not only in its unique aroma and taste, but also in the culture, rituals and production methods associated with it. Each coffee brewing method has its own unique charm and story behind it, which together constitute the richness and diversity of the coffee world.

1. Hand-brewed coffee

Hand-brewed coffee is a coffee-making method that requires careful operation and patience. You need to prepare filter paper, coffee powder and hot water. Fold the filter paper and put it into the filter cup. Then pour the ground coffee powder into the filter cup, press it gently, and rinse the filter paper with hot water to remove impurities. This is called "hot cupping". Then, slowly pour hot water into the filter cup and extract the coffee by controlling the speed and time of the water flow. The charm of hand-brewed coffee is that you can adjust the grinding degree, water temperature and even the speed and direction of the water flow according to your taste to get a perfect cup of coffee.

2. Cold Brew Coffee

Unlike hand-brewed coffee, cold brew coffee is extracted slowly at low temperature. Put the ground coffee powder into a special cold brew pot or filter paper, add cold water, and then put it in the refrigerator overnight. Due to low-temperature extraction, the taste of cold brew coffee is mellower, low in acidity, and moderate in sweetness, which can fully show the characteristics of coffee beans. Cold brew coffee is suitable for bringing you a touch of coolness in the hot summer.

3. French Press Coffee

French press coffee is a simple and direct method of making coffee. Put the ground coffee powder into a French press, then add hot water, cover the lid and wait for a few minutes, then use a spoon or French press to separate the settled coffee grounds from the coffee liquid. Due to the special design of the French press, the coffee produced has a rich taste with a slight granular feel, making people feel as if they are in a coffee shop.

4. Latte

Latte is not simply mixing milk and coffee together to make a cup of high-quality espresso as the basis, then heating the hot milk to warm and making fine milk foam, pouring the milk foam into the espresso and gently stirring. The unique taste of latte lies in its balanced proportions and exquisite visual effects. Every sip is full of layers and surprises.

5. Mocha Coffee

Mocha coffee is a drink that combines chocolate, cream and coffee. The key to making mocha is to choose the right chocolate sauce and cream. First, add an appropriate amount of chocolate sauce and syrup to the bottom of the cup as a base, then add cold milk and stir slightly, then add pre-made espresso and squeeze cream as decoration. Every sip of mocha coffee is full of the sweetness of chocolate and the richness of coffee, which makes people intoxicated.

Each coffee brewing method has its own unique skills and charm. They are not only the process of making coffee, but also a way to show personal taste and style. Whether it is the delicate hand brewing or the rich French press, the freshness of cold brew or the balance of latte, the sweetness and richness of mocha, people are overwhelmed by them. In the busy life, you may as well calm down and taste a cup of coffee made by yourself to feel the beauty and tranquility. Every subtle action and every attempt is an opportunity to talk to yourself, allowing us to constantly discover new flavors and stories in the exploration...
