New way to brew coffee: try 60 degrees water temperature

introduction

Coffee is an indispensable part of people's lives, and there are many ways to brew coffee. In recent years, a new brewing method has gradually become popular, which is centered on a water temperature of 60 degrees. This article will introduce this new method and explore its impact on the taste and aroma of coffee.

Brewing coffee at 60 degrees water

Traditionally, we often use hot water (usually 90-95 degrees) to brew coffee. However, brewing at 60 degrees water temperature can bring a new experience. First, put the ground coffee powder into the filter paper and place the filter paper on top of the filter.

Next, add about 200 ml of 60-degree water to the pot and gently pour it over the filter paper. This allows the coffee powder to fully contact the water and release more aroma.

Taste and aroma changes

After brewing with 60-degree water, we will find that the taste and aroma of coffee have changed. First of all, in terms of taste, coffee brewed at low temperature is softer and smoother, without overly stimulating bitterness. This is because the acidic substances in coffee at low temperatures are relatively less, and acidity is the main cause of bitterness.

Secondly, in terms of aroma, 60-degree water temperature can better preserve the aromatic substances in coffee beans. When brewing at high temperature, some aromatic substances may be lost with the steam. Brewing at low temperature can make the coffee release more delicate and rich aroma.

Which type of coffee beans is suitable

Although brewing at 60 degrees can change the taste and aroma, it is not suitable for all types of coffee beans. Generally speaking, this method is suitable for single varieties or blended coffee beans with a more balanced taste, relatively low acidity and a strong floral and fruity aroma.

For some coffee beans with special flavors, high acidity or darker roasting (such as French roasting), brewing them with 60-degree water may make the taste too bland and fail to fully display their unique flavor.

in conclusion

Brewing coffee with 60-degree water temperature as the center is a novel and interesting attempt. It can change the taste and aroma of coffee, making it softer and smoother, and releasing more delicate and rich aroma. However, it should be noted that this method is not suitable for all types of coffee beans. Therefore, before trying it, you should understand whether the coffee beans you use are suitable for brewing with 60-degree water temperature.

In short, constantly exploring new ways to brew coffee can bring us new experiences and surprises. Brewing with 60-degree water temperature is one of the ways worth trying.
