How to enjoy coffee beans without tools

Coffee beans are an intoxicating food, they exude a rich aroma and unique taste. However, sometimes we may not have the tools at hand to make and enjoy coffee beans. In this article, I will share some ways to enjoy coffee beans without the tools.

1. Original method: Eat directly after baking

The simplest and most original way is to roast the coffee beans and eat them directly. You can roast them over a fire or in a pan. When you hear the first crackling sound, it means that the coffee beans have begun to change color. Keep stirring them until they become dark brown and emit a rich aroma.

Then pour it into a bowl and wait for it to cool down for a while before you can taste the freshly-made coffee beans, which are full of caramel aroma, have a slightly bitter taste but still have sweetness and sourness, and have absorbed the gelatin and oil components.

2. Grind and brew

If you want to enjoy coffee beans more conveniently, you can grind them into powder before brewing. Although you don't have a professional coffee machine or a manual grinder, you can still use some simple methods to achieve this goal.

First, put the coffee beans in a plastic bag and tap them gently with a rolling pin or other hard objects. After a few minutes, you will find that the coffee beans have turned into powder. Next, pour the powder into a cup, add an appropriate amount of boiling water and stir well to get a cup of homemade hand-brewed coffee.

3. Use filter paper for brewing

If you want to better control the strength and taste of the coffee, you can try using filter paper for brewing. Although there are no professional drippers or pots with built-in filter functions, we can still find alternatives at home.

First, place a filter paper on top of a container and pour the ground coffee beans into it. Next, slowly pour in an appropriate amount of boiling water and wait a few minutes for the coffee to brew. Finally, you can lift the filter paper and use a cup to catch the dripping coffee liquid.

4. Cold Brew Coffee

If you prefer a softer, more refreshing coffee, try cold brewing. This method doesn't require any tools or electrical equipment.

First, place the appropriate amount of ground coffee beans in a container. Then, add enough cold water to cover all the beans and gently stir to mix. Next, place the container at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours.

Finally, use a fine mesh or gauze to filter out solid particulate matter and get a cold brew coffee with a refreshing taste, deep aroma, slightly sour taste and relatively low concentration but still able to taste the rich flavor characteristics and a certain sweetness and bitterness.

Summarize

Although not having tools may limit the way we enjoy coffee beans, there are still some simple ways to achieve this goal. Whether it is eating directly after roasting, brewing after grinding, brewing with filter paper or cold brewing coffee, we can taste the delicious taste and aroma of coffee beans.

Hopefully these tips will inspire you and allow you to enjoy great coffee even without the tools!
