If you want to learn hand brewing well, you can start with these aspects!

Nowadays, instant coffee can be found everywhere, and even automatic coffee machines are everywhere, but this still cannot stop some people from loving hand-brewed coffee. Maybe it’s like “walk slowly and wait for your soul”. What they enjoy is the process of manually brewing coffee and what they pursue is peace of mind deep in their hearts.

However, the problem is that not everyone who loves hand-poured coffee can make it by themselves. More and more questions about how to make a cup of coffee with good color, aroma and taste are coming. Today, let's learn how to make a cup of hand-poured coffee with Coffee Master, and master the hard knowledge of hand-poured coffee in an easy-to-understand way to make the most profound and rich coffee!

As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice, so before we actually make hand-brewed coffee, we must do some preparation!

1. Fresh and properly roasted coffee beans

Good coffee beans are the prerequisite for making hand-brewed coffee. Choosing coffee beans that suit your taste is the most important thing. If the coffee beans are roasted too lightly, they will taste astringent. Therefore, as a novice, it is best to choose coffee beans with a medium to dark roast degree.

Of course, if you are already an experienced hand-brew coffee maker, then you can challenge yourself and try lightly roasted beans.

2. A high-quality grinder

Once you have coffee beans, you must master the correct grinding degree. Grinding too fine or too coarse is not good. Too fine coffee beans will taste bitter, while too coarse coffee beans will taste light. Only medium grinding can give the coffee a good taste. If you can't master the temperature yourself, try buying an automatic grinder.

If you are a person who enjoys exploring, try choosing a manual grinder and enjoy the process of adjusting the scale over and over again until you are satisfied.

3. A good hand brewing kettle

With good ingredients, cooking tools are also important. Similarly, with good coffee beans, don't ignore the pot for brewing coffee beans. It is far from enough to be beautiful, the structure and material are the key. Therefore, a narrow-mouthed pot is the correct way for beginners to learn to brew coffee. The narrow-mouthed pot is generally thicker and thinner, so the water comes out more slowly, and the water flow and water shape are more stable, which can greatly increase your success rate in brewing delicious coffee.

Similarly, if you have been exploring the path of learning hand-brewed coffee for a long time and have become an advanced player, then you may not care about the crane-beaked hand-brewed kettle!

4. Practicing basic skills is the best way

Compared with skills, for beginners of hand brewing coffee, mastering basic skills such as stable water flow is the shortcut to success. Be sure to pay attention to the water column injected by the water flow not being too large, because it will cause insufficient coffee extraction; similarly, the water column cannot be pulled too high, which will easily lead to uneven coffee extraction. Therefore, novices must practice how to create a stable water flow!

5. Control the steaming time

The biggest difference between hand-brewed coffee and ordinary instant coffee or coffee from an automatic coffee machine is its taste. The degree of control of the steaming time is crucial. Generally speaking, less water is used for steaming. Just pour water from the center in a small stream outward in circles until the coffee powder is wet, and then let the coffee powder fend for itself. Generally speaking, the steaming time is 20-35 seconds, and the deeper the roasting degree of the beans, the less time is needed.
