In this fast-paced era, coffee has become an indispensable part of many people's lives. As an important part of coffee culture, brewed coffee is also loved by coffee lovers for its convenience and diversity. What kind of brewed coffee is the best? And what kind of milk should be used to match it? Let's explore this question together.

1. Brewing method of instant coffee :

1. Instant coffee :

Instant coffee is known for its convenience and speed. It can be drunk with just a simple brew. However, the quality of instant coffee on the market varies. Some have added too much sugar and artificial flavors, which cover up the original flavor of the coffee. High-quality instant coffee tastes relatively close to freshly ground coffee, but overall it is still inferior to freshly ground and brewed coffee.

2. Capsule coffee :

Capsule coffee is a convenient type of coffee that has emerged in recent years. It is brewed using a special coffee machine. Its taste and aroma are similar to freshly ground coffee from a coffee machine, but there is still a gap. The advantage of capsule coffee is that it does not require cumbersome grinding and brewing processes, but the price is relatively high.

3. Hand-brewed coffee :

Hand-brewed coffee is a brewing method recommended by many coffee lovers. By precisely controlling the water temperature, grinding degree and brewing time, the flavor and aroma of the coffee can be extracted to the greatest extent. However, hand-brewed coffee requires certain skills and experience, and may require some practice for novices.

4. Moka pot brewing :

The Moka pot uses steam pressure to inject hot water into the coffee powder in the powder tank, and the extracted coffee then flows into the lower pot. This method can bring a rich taste and unique aroma, but attention should be paid to temperature control and safe use.

2. Choice of milk :

1. Whole milk :

Whole milk is rich in cream and taste, which combined with strong coffee can bring a silky taste and rich layers, suitable for pairing with strong hand-brewed or espresso.

2. Skim milk :

Skim milk has a lower fat content and a relatively light taste. It is suitable for pairing with soft light-roasted coffee or as milk foam to add a dense taste to coffee.

3. Plant milk :

In recent years, plant milks such as soy milk and almond milk have gradually become popular choices for coffee. They are cholesterol-free, have a light taste and are rich in nutrients. However, it should be noted that the taste of plant milk is different from that of milk and may affect the overall flavor of coffee.

In addition to the above options, there are many other ways of brewing and the possibility of pairing with milk waiting for us to explore. Each method has its own unique charm and applicable scenarios. Instant coffee is suitable for fast-paced life; capsule coffee is suitable for when you need a quick refreshment; hand-brewed coffee is suitable for enjoying a leisurely afternoon... Each type of milk brings a different flavor and experience to coffee.

There is no fixed answer to which type of brewed coffee is the best. It depends on personal taste, needs and preferences. When choosing the brewing method and pairing it with milk, we should try and adjust according to our own preferences and actual conditions to find the combination that suits us best. Let us continue to move forward on the road of exploring brewed coffee and discover more possibilities and fun!
