No coffee machine? Teach you how to make rich coffee by hand!

The charm of hand-poured coffee

Coffee is a popular drink that brings pleasure and enjoyment to people, whether it is to refresh in the morning or to relax in the afternoon. Hand-brewed coffee pays more attention to the details and unique flavor of each cup of coffee. Although there is no coffee machine, we can still hand-brew rich and delicious coffee with simple steps.

Prepare the necessary tools

First, we need to prepare the following tools:

• 1. Pot: Choose a pot that is suitable for pouring water and has a moderate capacity.
• 2. Filter paper: Use professional filter paper or cotton filter.
• 3. Grinder: Use freshly ground coffee beans for hand brewing.
• 4. Scale: Used to accurately weigh the required amount of coffee powder and water.
• 5. Thermometer: Make sure the water temperature is within the appropriate range (92-96°C).

Choose high-quality fresh coffee beans

The quality and taste of coffee largely depends on the coffee beans used. Therefore, we should choose fresh and high-quality coffee beans. It is recommended to buy whole unground coffee beans and grind them into a coarseness suitable for hand brewing before use.

Preheat the pot and cups

Before we start pouring, we need to preheat the pot and cups. This helps keep the water temperature steady and ensures you end up with a warm, delicious cup of coffee.

Prepare filter paper and add appropriate amount of coffee powder

Place the filter paper in the filter and wet it with boiling water to remove any pulpy taste that may be present. Then, pour the appropriate amount (usually 15 grams) of freshly ground coffee into the filter paper.

Soaking and extraction

Now comes the most critical step: watering! First, slowly pour a small amount of water into the center of the filter paper after standing for 30 seconds to wet the coffee grounds. This process is called "soaking". Then, slowly and evenly pour the remaining water, keeping the water flow steady.

Wait and enjoy

Once all the water has been poured into the pot and filtered through the filter paper, we can wait for the coffee to finish extracting. This process usually takes 2-4 minutes. During this time, please enjoy the space filled with coffee aroma and prepare a warm cup.

Enjoy the delicious brew you made

Finally, when you feel that time is enough, gently pick up the pot and pour the coffee into the preheated cup. Now is the time to taste the hand-brewed coffee! Quietly smell its tempting fragrance and sip every mellow and rich taste.

Conclusion

Although the absence of a coffee machine may make hand brewing a bit complicated and time-consuming, it also gives us more opportunities to control the details and flavor characteristics of each cup of coffee. As long as we follow the correct steps and proportions, we can still hand brew a cup of rich and delicious coffee.
