2. Choice of coffee beans

The choice of coffee beans directly affects the taste and quality of coffee. Common coffee beans on the market include Arabica beans and Robusta beans. Arabica beans have a mellow taste and rich aroma, and are more suitable for home brewing. Robusta beans have a heavier bitter and nutty taste, and are suitable for people who like strong flavors. It is recommended to choose coffee beans according to personal taste and purchase fresh coffee beans through reliable channels.

Grinding coffee beans is one of the key steps in making coffee. Different degrees of grinding will affect the taste and extraction speed of the coffee. Fine grinding is suitable for Italian coffee, and coarse grinding is suitable for French press or hand brewing. When using an electronic grinder, you can adjust the grinding degree as needed; if you use a hand-cranked grinder, you need to grind patiently to ensure uniformity.
