Brewing method :

1. Preparation stage : Make sure you have all the brewing tools, including drip coffee bags, kettle (or coffee machine), stirring spoon and cup, and make sure these tools are clean and odor-free.

2. Water temperature control : Water temperature has a vital impact on the taste of coffee. The ideal brewing temperature should be controlled between 88℃-94℃.

The amount of water poured in each time should not be too much. When pouring in the first time, let the coffee powder fully absorb the water. Wait for a while and then pour in the remaining water. This will allow the coffee powder to fully contact with the hot water and release a rich aroma.

4. Wait and taste : After brewing, wait patiently for a few minutes for the coffee powder to settle and for the aroma of the coffee to fully release. You can observe that the color of the coffee gradually becomes richer and the aroma is overflowing. Stir gently with a stirring spoon to allow the coffee to fully blend with the air and experience the satisfaction of that moment.
