The secret of drinking coffee powder is revealed, allowing you to taste a different coffee experience

Coffee is one of the essential drinks for many people every day. How to make delicious and unique coffee has become the goal pursued by many people. In addition to choosing high-quality coffee beans, the correct use and processing of coffee powder is also one of the keys. This article will reveal several different ways to drink coffee powder and bring you a new taste experience.

1. Espresso

Espresso is the most basic and common way to drink coffee. It is made by using high-pressure water to pass finely ground coffee and then compress it into a block or capsule and put it into a machine. This method can retain all the flavors and aromas and make the taste more intense.

To make espresso, you first need to buy a cube or capsule that suits your taste preferences and the size of machine you need (e.g. capsule or manual).

Next, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the coffee machine and switch it on.

2. Place the concentrate blocks or capsules into the designated position according to the machine's requirements.

3. Wait for the coffee machine to heat up to the appropriate temperature, usually between 90°C-95°C.

4. Press the start button to let the high-pressure water flow through the espresso cube or capsule to make rich coffee.

2. French Press

The French press is also known as a "French pot" or "coffee cup". It is a simple and classic way to make coffee. Using this method can make the coffee more fragrant and retain the characteristics and flavor of the beans themselves.

To make a French press, follow these steps:

1. Pour the coarsely ground coffee into a French press. Generally speaking, you need about 15 grams of coffee powder for every 250 ml of water.

2. Add enough boiling water to the top of the container and stir gently a few times to ensure all particles are moistened.

3. Close the filter and the piston, but do not press the piston.

4. Wait about 4 minutes to allow the coffee to fully soak and extract.

5. Press the plunger so that the filter keeps the coffee grounds at the bottom of the pot. Then pour out your delicious coffee and enjoy.

3. Cold Brew Coffee

Cold brew coffee is a special method of brewing coffee that uses low temperature and long-term soaking to extract the flavor of coffee. This method can make the acidity lower, the taste smoother, and retain more sweetness and aroma.

To make cold brew coffee, follow these steps:

1. Place the coarsely ground coffee into a clean, airtight container that fits your coffee grind (usually 1:8 or 1:10).

2. Add cold water and stir gently a few times to ensure all particles are moistened. Be careful not to add too much water to avoid diluting the concentration.

3. Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator to soak for at least 12 hours, preferably 24 hours.

4. Take out the container and filter the coffee grounds with filter paper or a fine mesh. You can dilute the coffee liquid again according to your personal taste.

5. Pour the cold brew coffee into a cup, add appropriate amount of ice cubes and other condiments (such as milk, syrup, etc.), stir well and you can enjoy the cool and refreshing cold brew coffee.

4. Italian Moka Pot

The Italian Moka pot is a classic tool for making strong Italian coffee. It combines drip and pressure to make a unique flavor of coffee. This method can make the taste richer, the aroma more intense, and with a hint of chocolate sweetness.

To make an Italian-style moka pot, follow these steps:

1. Pour water into the lower metal container, but do not exceed the safety valve. Then put the filter basket into the container.

2. Pour the finely ground coffee into the filter basket and compact it lightly with your fingers, but do not over-tamp.

3. Connect the upper metal container to the lower part and ensure it is tightly sealed.

4. Place the Italian Moka Pot on the stovetop and turn to medium-low heat. Wait for the water to start boiling and the coffee powder to make a rich coffee liquid.

5. When you hear a hissing sound, the coffee is fully brewed. Immediately remove the Moka pot from the stove to prevent further heating and scorching.

5. Cold Drip Coffee

Cold brew coffee is a complex and time-consuming method that uses a slow and steady extraction process to extract the purest, freshest and most aromatic flavors. This method results in higher acidity, a cleaner taste, and a hint of fruit and floral notes.

To make cold brew coffee, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the ice drip coffee equipment, including filter paper, glass container, water valve and funnel.

2. Place finely ground coffee in the filter paper and secure it over the funnel.

3. Pour an appropriate amount of cold water into a glass container and place the funnel with coffee grounds on top of the container.

4. Open the water valve and allow the water to extract through the coffee powder at a slow and steady rate. The whole process may take 1-3 hours.

5. When all the water passes through the coffee powder and falls to the bottom of the container, the ice drip coffee is ready. You can add appropriate amount of ice cubes or other condiments according to your personal taste and drink it.
