The coffee beans are ground, how to brew a delicious cup of coffee

introduction

Coffee is a must-have drink for many people every morning. A cup of delicious coffee can bring us pleasure and energy. To make a delicious cup of coffee, you first need to grind the coffee beans. Next, I will share how to make a cup of coffee with a rich taste and aroma through the correct brewing method and techniques.

Choose the right grind

Choosing the right grind size is important to ensure you extract the best taste and flavor. Different types of coffee beans require different grind sizes.

If you prefer to brew coffee in a drip pot, it is recommended to choose a medium coarseness (similar to sea salt). This ensures that the water can pass through the coffee grounds evenly and achieve the ideal concentration during the extraction process.

If you prefer to use a French press to brew concentrated coffee (such as espresso), you need to break the beans more finely into a grind similar to fine sand. This ensures that the water comes into full contact with the coffee powder and extracts more flavor.

Control water temperature and ratio

The correct water temperature and ratio of coffee powder to water are also key to making delicious coffee. Generally speaking, it is recommended to heat the water to between 90°C-96°C.

For drip brewing, the recommended ratio is 1:15-1:18 (coffee powder: water). For example, if you use 15 grams of coffee powder, you will need 225 ml to 270 ml of water.

For espresso brewed with a French press, it is recommended to use a 1:10 (coffee powder: water) ratio or adjust it according to your personal taste. For example, if you use 20 grams of coffee powder, you will need 200 ml to 250 ml of water.

Brewing tips

In addition to choosing the right grinding size and controlling the ratio, there are some tips in the brewing process that can help you make better-tasting and more fragrant coffee.

First, preheat the coffee pot or filter cup with a small amount of warm water before pouring in boiling water. This can avoid the sudden change in temperature affecting the taste of the coffee.

Secondly, keep the water flow and stirring evenly during the brewing process. Whether using a drip pot or a French press, you need to try to make the water and coffee powder fully contact to extract more flavor substances.

Finally, enjoy your coffee as soon as it’s brewed. Freshly brewed coffee tastes best, so it’s best to drink it as soon as possible after brewing.

Conclusion

By choosing the right grind size, controlling the water temperature and ratio, and using some brewing techniques, you can easily make a cup of delicious, fragrant coffee. I hope the above sharing can help you enjoy a high-quality coffee experience at home!
