To enjoy a cup of delicious coffee at home, we need to master some cooking skills and tasting methods. This article will comprehensively introduce the selection, grinding, brewing and tasting of coffee beans.

1. Coffee Bean Selection

Choosing the right coffee beans is the first step to making delicious coffee. There are a variety of coffee beans from different origins and processing methods available on the market. For beginners, it is recommended to buy products that are already packaged and marked with information such as origin, processing method, and roasting degree.

If you like a strong taste and dark liquid, please choose Dark Roast or French Roast style; if you prefer a fresh and soft taste, please choose Medium or Light Roast style. In addition, you can also choose coffee beans according to their origin, such as Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, etc.

2. Coffee bean grinding

The degree of grinding of coffee beans plays a vital role in brewing different tastes of coffee. Generally speaking, coarse grinding is suitable for brewing with filter paper or metal filters, while fine grinding is suitable for brewing with espresso pots or French presses.

In order to maintain the freshness and aroma of coffee, please try to grind the coffee beans freshly on site before brewing. If you don't have a manual or electric coffee machine on site, please buy a home electric coffee machine with adjustable coarseness and fineness function, and adjust the required powder size immediately before each brewing.

3. Coffee bean brewing

There are many ways to brew coffee, including drip method, espresso method, French press, etc. Here are two common brewing methods.

Drip method:

The drip method is the most common and simplest brewing method. First, put the ground coffee powder into a filter paper or metal filter, then pour boiling water into the pot and gradually and evenly pour it onto the coffee powder. After waiting for a few minutes, you can enjoy the fragrant coffee.

Espresso method:

The espresso method produces a rich coffee with a fine, creamy foam. First, add the appropriate amount of boiling water and ground coffee powder to the espresso pot, and then place the pot on a fire to heat it. When the water begins to boil and is pushed by the pressure, a strong and aromatic smell is produced. At this time, the fire can be turned off and the internal high pressure is quickly reduced to below atmospheric pressure with the help of the pressure release mechanism. Finally, just gently turn the handle and tilt the pot to enjoy the delicious taste.

4. Coffee tasting

When tasting coffee, we can experience its unique flavor by looking, smelling, and tasting. First, tilt the cup and observe the color and transparency of the coffee. Next, put your nose close to the mouth of the cup and breathe in gently, and pay attention to the aroma of the coffee. Finally, take a small sip of the coffee and pay attention to its acidity, bitterness, sweetness, and aftertaste.

During the tasting process, please remember to rinse your mouth with water to better experience the different types and styles of coffee.
