introduction

Coffee is a must-have drink for many people every morning. It can refresh the mind and bring vitality to the day. Making a cup of delicious and mellow coffee with coffee beans at home has also become something many people like to try. This article will introduce how to use coffee beans to make delicious and mellow coffee at home.

Choosing the right coffee beans

To make delicious and mellow coffee, you first need to choose the right coffee beans. There are a variety of coffee beans from different origins and roasting degrees on the market. If you like a strong, bitter taste with some fruity and chocolate flavors, you can choose coffee beans from Brazil or Colombia with a higher degree of dark roasting. If you prefer a light, light taste with floral and fruity aromas, you can choose coffee beans with a lower degree of medium roasting and produced in higher altitude areas (such as Kenya or Ethiopia).

Grinding coffee beans

To ensure the taste and aroma of coffee, we need to grind the coffee beans to the right coarseness before brewing. If you use a drip coffee machine or French press to brew coffee, you can choose a medium-fine grind; if you use an espresso machine or hand-pour pot to make espresso, you can choose a finer powder. Remember, it is best to grind the whole beans fresh on the spot when making it at home.

Control water temperature and quality

Water temperature is one of the most important factors affecting the taste and texture of coffee. Generally speaking, the water temperature for brewing coffee should be between 90°C and 96°C. Too high or too low will result in bitter or bland results. In addition, you should also pay attention to choosing high-quality, pure water without odor and impurities for brewing.

Choose the right equipment

Different types of equipment have different effects on making coffee. If you like strong and mellow coffee, you can choose a French press or a drip coffee machine; if you prefer concentrated and fragrant Italian coffee, you can choose an espresso machine or a hand-poured coffee pot. In addition, you also need to prepare auxiliary tools such as filter paper and filter nets suitable for the selected equipment.

Brewing steps

1. First, place the ground coffee powder into the device and shake it gently to distribute it evenly.

2. Adjust the amount of water and powder according to the selected equipment and personal taste. Generally speaking, you need to use about 10 grams of coffee powder for every 100 ml of water.

3. Slowly pour the preheated water into the device, and be careful to keep it evenly poured to ensure that the coffee aroma and taste are fully extracted.

4. Wait for about 3-5 minutes (adjust the time according to personal taste) to allow the water to fully contact the coffee and settle.

5. Use a suitable filtering tool (such as filter paper or filter mesh) to separate the coffee grounds and leave clear coffee liquid.

Enjoy delicious coffee

Finally, pour the prepared coffee into the cup, and add sugar, milk or other seasonings according to your personal taste. Then taste this cup of delicious and mellow homemade coffee and enjoy the pleasure it brings to your tongue and soul.
