1. Choose the right coffee powder
To make delicious coffee, you first need to choose the right coffee powder. There are various types and brands of coffee powder available on the market, such as Arabica, Robusta, etc. Arabica is the most common and popular one. It has lower acidity and bitterness, and tastes soft and smooth. Robusta, on the other hand, is more intense and bitter.
2. Grind coffee powder
Grinding your chosen coffee beans to a fineness suitable for brewing is an essential step in making delicious coffee. If you use pre-packaged ground beans, you can skip this step.
For manual operation, you can use a manual grinder or an electric blender equipped with corresponding blades to complete it at home.
3. Prepare brewing equipment
Before you start brewing, make sure you have the necessary equipment: a clean, grease-free coffee pot, paper or metal filter, a kettle, and a measuring cup.
4. Control water temperature
The correct water temperature is key to brewing coffee. After boiling the water, wait a few moments for it to cool to around 90°C, which is the most suitable temperature range for brewing coffee.
5. Choose the right amount of coffee powder
Choose the right amount of coffee powder to brew according to your preferences and taste requirements. Usually, about 10 grams of coffee powder is needed for every 100 ml of water.
6. Soak in a small amount of hot water first
Before you start brewing, soak the ground coffee in a small amount of hot water. This step helps release more aroma and flavor, and improves extraction in the subsequent steps.
7. Pour the remaining hot water evenly
Pour the remaining hot water evenly over the moistened coffee grounds. Do this in a slow and steady manner to ensure that the coffee grounds are fully soaked.
8. Wait for the extraction to complete
Generally, the extraction time of coffee is 3-4 minutes. During this process, you can gently stir the coffee liquid to promote uniform dissolution and release more flavor.
9. Pour into a cup and enjoy
When the coffee is finished brewing, pour it into the prepared cup. If you like to add sugar, milk or other seasonings, add them according to your personal taste.
10. Pay attention to cleaning and maintenance
After brewing the perfect cup of coffee, remember to clean and maintain the equipment you use. Clean the paper or metal filter and maintain and clean the grinder regularly.
Conclusion:
Through the above steps, we can make delicious and mellow coffee. Different types and brands of coffee powder will bring different flavor characteristics. Please choose the right type according to your preferences, and control the water temperature, ratio and extraction time to get the best taste experience. I wish you a cup of intoxicating coffee!
