Make instant coffee for a better taste

introduction

Instant coffee is a convenient and quick way to make coffee, but the taste is often not as good as freshly ground coffee. However, with some tips and methods, we can make instant coffee taste better. This article will introduce how to improve the taste of instant coffee by choosing the right coffee powder, adjusting the water temperature and ratio, and changing the brewing method.

Choosing the right coffee grounds

To make instant coffee taste better, you first need to choose high-quality coffee powder. There are various brands and types available in the market. It is recommended to buy products that are freshly roasted and keep fresh for a longer time.

In addition, when purchasing, you can pay attention to some special styles or single varieties, such as products with better production and rich flavor characteristics from Colombia, Ethiopia and other regions.

Adjust water temperature and ratio

Water temperature plays a vital role in improving the taste of instant coffee. Usually, too high water temperature will increase the bitterness of coffee, while too low water temperature will prevent the aroma and flavor of coffee from being fully released.

It is recommended to control the water temperature between 90°C-95°C. The water temperature within this range can better extract the nutrients and flavor substances in the coffee powder.

In addition, it is also key to properly adjust the ratio of coffee powder to water. Generally speaking, every 15 grams of coffee powder needs to be brewed with about 200 ml of hot water. The ratio can be increased or decreased appropriately according to personal taste preference.

Change the brewing method

In addition to choosing the right coffee powder and adjusting the water temperature ratio, changing the brewing method can also improve the taste of instant coffee.

First, before pouring in the hot water, you can try to pour a small amount of hot water into the cup in advance, and rotate the cup to make it evenly adhere to the wall of the cup. Then pour the remaining hot water in and stir it evenly. This will help improve the solubility and uniformity of the coffee.

Secondly, you can try to use a stirring stick or blender to fully stir the coffee powder and hot water. This can increase the contact area with oxygen and promote the release of coffee flavor substances.

in conclusion

By choosing the right coffee powder, adjusting the water temperature and ratio, and changing the brewing method, we can improve the taste of instant coffee. Of course, whether it tastes good or not is also related to personal preference. I hope that the methods introduced in this article can help readers make more delicious and better-tasting instant coffee.
