In order to meet the needs of the majority of coffee lovers, this article will introduce the production methods of various coffees in detail, taking you into the world of coffee and discovering the wonderful cup of coffee that belongs to you.

1. Espresso

Espresso is one of the most classic coffee making methods. Its characteristic is that it uses high-pressure steam to quickly rush out the ground coffee powder to obtain a rich and strong-tasting coffee. The key to making espresso lies in the selection and grinding degree of coffee beans, as well as the skills of pressing the powder. Coffee beans are usually deeply roasted beans with moderate grinding degree. When pressing the powder, make sure that the coffee powder in the powder bowl is even and dense.

2. Hand-brewed coffee

Hand-brewed coffee is a coffee-making method that has attracted much attention in recent years. By manually controlling the water flow and time, a coffee with a soft taste and unique flavor can be obtained. When making hand-brewed coffee, it is necessary to choose appropriate water quality and grinding degree, and master the correct brewing technique. The water temperature is generally controlled at 90-94 degrees Celsius, and the water flow should be stable and slow to ensure sufficient contact between the coffee powder and the water.

3. French Press Coffee

French press coffee is a simple and easy production method. You only need to mix the ground coffee powder with hot water by pressing, and then separate the extracted coffee. When making French press coffee, you need to put the ground coffee powder into the filter pot, add hot water and wait for a few minutes to allow the coffee to be fully extracted. Finally, press gently to separate the extracted coffee from the residue.

4. Cold Brew Iced Coffee

Cold brew iced coffee is one of the most popular coffees in summer. It is made by mixing ground coffee beans with cold water and putting them in the refrigerator for low-temperature extraction. Due to the low temperature of cold water, the extraction time is relatively long, usually taking several hours or even a whole night, but the resulting cold brew iced coffee tastes fresh and not bitter, making it the best choice for cooling off.

5. Latte

Latte is a combination of classic Italian coffee and milk. The key to making latte is the heating and whipping of milk. The milk needs to be heated to a suitable temperature and whipped into fine foam using a manual or automatic steam coffee machine. Finally, the foam is poured into espresso to create an attractive taste and visual effect.

In addition to the above-mentioned common coffee making methods, there are many other methods waiting for you to explore, such as mocha pot coffee, syphon pot coffee, etc. Each method has its own unique charm and flavor, which makes people linger.

In the process of exploring various coffee making methods, we can't help but think: Why is coffee so popular?
