Why is the coffee you brew not as good as the one in the coffee shop? Teach you the correct brewing method

Nowadays, more and more people like to drink coffee. On the one hand, due to the advancement of globalization, many young people are more accepting of this Western drink and are not willing to drink tea. On the other hand, it is to refresh the mind and make oneself more motivated at work. However, have you noticed that even if it is the same kind of coffee beans, the taste of the coffee brewed by different people is different? Today, I will teach you a few tips for brewing coffee.

1. Grinding beans is the first step in making handmade coffee, but it is also a step where many people fail easily. They either grind the beans too finely or too coarsely, which indirectly affects the taste of the brewed coffee. If you want to accurately control the coarseness of the coffee powder, you can use a small Eagle or Pegasus bean grinder, which can adjust the scale of the coffee powder and accurately grind the ideal fineness. The best coarseness of hand-brewed coffee powder is between Italian coffee and French filter press, that is, the particle size is about 4. The smaller the number, the finer the ground powder.

If you use a traditional hand-cranked grinder, the particle size suitable for hand-brewed coffee is about half the size of brown sugar. However, the disadvantage of a manual grinder is that it is easy to have uneven coarseness. Too fine coffee powder will be over-extracted and easily extract coffee impurities; too coarse coffee powder will not be extracted enough and the taste will be bland.

2. There are many ways to brew coffee, such as using a moka pot, French press, siphon pot, etc. Each method has its advantages, but if you want the richest aroma of coffee, the best choice is hand brewing.

Extracting coffee by hand-brewing is a slow and steady way to extract coffee evenly. Compared with direct boiling or extraction that is too fast or too slow, the flavor of hand-brewing coffee is more even and distinct, rather than just having concentration but no aroma.

If you grind coffee at home, you must shorten the grinding time, because the aroma of coffee beans is lost very quickly from the time they are ground. As long as you pay attention to these points, the coffee you brew yourself will be just as delicious and have a super strong aroma.
