How do you make good coffee at home?

There are three basic things to make coffee.

1.Water temperature The water temperature is best controlled within 94 degrees, and the general range is 85 94. Don't use boiling water, it's not instant noodles. High temperatures can lead to over-extraction and can be bitter.

2.Grindability.

The degree of grind depends on the degree of roast, and in fact everything depends on the degree of roast. In short, the essence of brewing coffee is to use hot water to extract the soluble substances in the coffee, if you extract too much, it will be bitter, if you don't extract enough, it will be sour. The finer the grinding, the easier it is to over-extract, and the coarser the grinding, the easier it is to under-extract.

3.Time. Again, the longer it takes, the easier it is to overdo it. The shorter it is, the more likely it is to be insufficient. Generally, the pressure should be around 3 or 4 minutes.

Note: All parameters should be tried by yourself according to the actual situation.

I think we should correct the misconception that coffee tastes like coffee, and coffee is not"Mellow"Yes, the coffee doesn't smell good at all. The mellow should be milk tea. Coffee is supposed to taste like fruit tea, and many words such as orange acid, berry and jasmine are used to describe the taste of coffee.

There are even vanilla, honey, and cocoa to describe the taste of coffee, which means that coffee should actually be sweet and sour and slightly bitter at the same time. Also, coffee should not be sweetened with milk or milk, especially if it is a single product. In fact, the level of cafes is generally very poor, don't look up to cafes, because the vast majority of cafes in China sell the environment and atmosphere rather than coffee, and domestic cafes generally stay in the second wave of coffee movement, and specialty coffee has nothing to do with them, the reason mentioned above, they don't sell coffee, and customers generally go to cafes for coffee, for petty bourgeois atmosphere, make an appointment with a girlfriend, and pretend to be a b.

Generally, the Italian style produced by the café is nothing more than a latte art, and the ESP is not very good. As for the single product, it is also bitter water level. And Starbucks is also very poor in this chain, and the advantage is that the production is stable:

It's not too pitty and it's not good, and the items in the black apron shop are also impossible to look at. It's not that there are no boutique restaurants, but I'm afraid it's difficult for the public to find who is good and who is bad. As for the café that makes very mellow coffee, the thing he makes is either Italian or milk tea, and it is generally the latter...

So the public drinks milk tea as coffee...

Finally, I recommend a few places to play specialty coffee.

The coffee salon should be the most professional public coffee forum in the mainland.

Paste bar coffee bar, communication is very convenient, and you can communicate instantly if you have questions.

Douban group: Coffee knowledge, there are many cattle, and the team leader has a very high level, but the popularity is less.

There is an ingredient in the coffee shop that puts one of the ingredients in milk tea.

How to make coffee at home.

2. Grind the coffee beans into powder.

3. Boil a pot of boiling water.

4. Spread the filter paper on the filter bowl.

6. Pour the coffee powder into the filter cup.

7. Slowly pour hot water at about 93 degrees into the coffee powder, and control the amount of water to exactly one or two drops from the bottom of the powder pile, if the coffee powder is fresh enough, the coffee powder will absorb water and expand (pause for about 30 seconds).

8. After the drip filtration process is completed, take away the filter cup.

9. Finished product drawing.

Choosing good coffee is the first step in making good coffee, and the temperature of the water and the contact time of the coffee ground during correct storage, grinding, and brewing are all important factors affecting the quality of coffee. How to brew delicious and mellow coffee, a series of factors must be combined:

Coffee beans: If you want to brew a cup of mellow coffee by yourself, in addition to brewing skills, the most important thing is to choose good quality coffee beans. When buying, you should also pay attention to whether the color and size of the beans are uniform, and good coffee beans not only have a shiny appearance, but also have a strong aroma without mixing with odors.

Degree of grinding: Depending on the coffee machine used, the correct grind can be broadly divided into three stages: percolator, drip coffee, and espresso machine.

Coarsely ground coffee is suitable for filter coffee pots (traditional American brewers), medium ground coffee is suitable for follicle, flannel strainer, and siphon coffee pot brewing, and fine grinds are most suitable for coffee stills (also known as drip coffee makers). And as a reminder, the shorter the brewing time, the more delicate the particles should be. Because the smaller the particles, the larger the area that comes into contact with the hot water, so the brewing time should be shorter.

In addition, too fine grinding will make the coffee more bitter and it will be easier to clog the coffee machine; If the grind is too coarse, it will produce a less flavorful coffee.

Fresh and warm water: 97% of coffee is water, and only good water can brew the original aroma and richness of coffee. It is best to use filtered water to brew coffee.

Do not boil the coffee as boiling water will make the coffee bitter, and also note that the temperature of the water should be slightly below 96 degrees Celsius.

It's best not to reheat the coffee. Care should be taken to cook only the amount needed each time when brewing, and it is best to drink it freshly cooked. The best temperature for coffee to drink is 85 degrees Celsius.

1. Hand punching. Principle: Pour hot water into the filter paper containing coffee powder with a pour-over pot, and make full contact between the coffee powder and the water by pouring the momentum of hot water, extract the soluble substances in it, and restore the taste of the coffee itself. The grind is generally medium grind like sugar;

Advantages: There is no doubt that pour-over coffee is currently the most popular way to brew specialty coffee in the world, which is easy to learn and the taste can be accepted by most people; The utensils can be more selective and delicate and beautiful;

Disadvantages: There are many variable factors, which is difficult to control, and requires certain skills and more practice to make the coffee a good drink.

2. Moka pot.

Principle: The Moka pot is composed of three parts: the upper pot, the lower pot and the funnel, fill the lower pot with water at the bottom, tighten the Moka pot to make it sealed, heat the lower pot with an alcohol lamp or halogen oven, and boil the water to boil to produce steam pressure to soak the coffee powder so as to extract the coffee hydraulically into the upper pot. The grind is similar to that of an espresso, and the high pressure of heating in a closed environment makes the coffee made from a Moka pot the closest to an espresso.

Advantages: short extraction time; **Cheap; Lightweight and compact;

Disadvantages: Variables cannot be adjusted, and there is a greater risk of under-extraction and over-extraction.

Choose high-quality coffee beans: Choose fresh, high-quality coffee beans, preferably roasted with whole or semi-hemp roasted coffee beans to preserve the original flavor of the beans.

Grinding coffee beans: Use a grinder to grind coffee beans, and the degree of core grinding should be determined by the coffee pot or coffee maker used, usually medium fineness.

Heat the water: Heat the water to 90 -96, preferably using a water strainer or strainer to filter the water to ensure that the water is clean and pure.

Add ground coffee: Place the ground coffee powder into the coffee pot or coffee maker and follow the instructions of the coffee pot or coffee maker used to add the appropriate amount of ground coffee.

Pour in water: Slowly pour the heated water into the coffee pot or coffee maker, taking care not to overdo it or too little, so as not to affect the taste and strength of the coffee.

Wait for the coffee to brew: Wait for the coffee to brew, which usually takes 2-4 minutes, depending on the coffee pot or coffee maker used.

Pour out the coffee: Pour the brewed coffee into a cup, preferably using a preheated cup, to maintain the temperature and taste of the coffee.

Add condiments: Depending on personal taste, you can add an appropriate amount of condiments such as milk, sugar, and honey to increase the texture and taste of your coffee.

In conclusion, making the best coffee requires multiple steps and details such as choosing high-quality coffee beans, grinding them, heating the water, adding ground coffee, pouring in water, waiting for brewing, pouring out the coffee, and adding flavorings. Patients are advised to read the instructions for use of the coffee pot or coffee maker carefully before making Fan Min coffee to ensure that the best taste and taste of coffee is made.
