How to brew a cup of coffee without a coffee machine

The charm of hand-poured coffee

Coffee is an indispensable drink for many people every morning. It can refresh the mind and bring vitality to people for the whole day. The fragrant coffee makes people intoxicated. Although there are various coffee machines on the market that can easily make delicious coffee, hand-brewed coffee has a unique charm. This article will introduce how to hand-brew a cup of fragrant coffee without using a coffee machine.

Prepare tools and materials

First we need to prepare the following tools and materials:

• Grinder: used to grind coffee beans into powder.
• Filter paper: used to filter out solid particles in powder.
• Kettle: used to heat water.
• Electronic scale: used to weigh the required amount of water and coffee beans.
• Timer: used to control the time required for each step.
• Fresh coffee beans: choose your favorite variety and roast degree.
• Hot water: for brewing coffee.

Step 1: Grind the coffee beans

First, put the right amount of coffee beans into the grinder. Grind to the right level of fineness based on your personal taste and the number of cups you want. Generally speaking, coarser powder is more suitable for hand brewed coffee.

Step 2: Prepare filter paper and filter

Place the filter paper in the filter and place the filter over the cup or pot. Make sure the filter paper fits tightly against the wall to prevent leaks.

Step 3: Pre-lubrication and pre-humidification

Before pouring the coffee grounds in, wet the filter paper with a small amount of boiling water and tilt the container to evenly distribute it. This will remove any paper smell that may be present and prepare it for the next step.

Step 4: Weigh and add water

Use a digital scale to weigh the coffee beans and water you need. Generally speaking, you need 10 grams of coffee beans for every 100 grams of water. Adjust the ratio according to your taste.

Step 5: Brewing

Pour hot water over the ground coffee and swirl it around to wet all the grounds evenly. Wait for 30 seconds to allow the ground coffee to expand and release more aroma.

Step 6: Pour slowly

Next, slowly and evenly pour the remaining hot water into the filter. Try to avoid pouring directly into the center to prevent splashing or uneven filtering.

Step 7: Wait and enjoy

Wait a few minutes for the coffee to flow through the filter paper into the cup or pot. Once it is done, you can enjoy the fragrant coffee made by hand! Add appropriate amount of milk, sugar or other seasonings according to personal taste.

Conclusion

Although hand-poured coffee may require some practice and patience, it can bring you a unique coffee experience. By controlling the time and proportion of each step, you can adjust the strength and taste of the coffee according to your taste. The fragrant coffee poured out by hand without a coffee machine will become an indispensable part of your good morning time.
