Grind the coffee beans and learn the secrets of brewing!

Coffee is a must-have drink for many people every morning, and a cup of delicious coffee is inseparable from ground coffee beans and correct brewing techniques. Here we will reveal how to grind coffee beans and brew delicious coffee.

First, it's important to choose the right grinder. It can be manual or electric, but no matter which type, it needs to be adjustable and stable. The coarseness will be different for different types of coffee beans. Generally speaking, coarser particles are needed for drip or French Press brewing methods, while finer particles are needed for espresso machines. Before you start grinding, make sure it is clean and adjusted to the appropriate settings.

Secondly, before brewing, please choose the right ratio according to your taste and weigh the required amount of coffee beans. Generally, 15g to 18g per 250ml of water is enough to get the ideal taste and concentration. If you like a stronger taste, you can increase the amount of coffee beans. If you like a lighter taste, you can reduce the amount of coffee beans. Please note that using freshly ground coffee beans will give you a better taste.

Finally, during the brewing process, make sure the water is at the right temperature and poured evenly. Water that is too hot will result in a bitter taste, while water that is too cold will not fully extract the aroma and flavor of the coffee beans. It is recommended to heat the water to between 90°C and 96°C and pour it evenly during brewing. In addition, you also need to find a good balance in the soaking time. Generally speaking, a drip or French press pot takes about 4 minutes; espresso only takes about 25 seconds.

In summary, to grind coffee beans well and brew delicious coffee, you need to pay attention to the following points: choose the right grinder, choose the right ratio according to your taste and weigh the required amount, ensure that the water temperature is appropriate and poured evenly, and master the soaking time. Through correct operation and continuous trial and error, I believe you will be able to brew a satisfactory coffee.
