Coffee bean care guide: the secret to creating aromatic coffee!

Coffee is a must-have drink for many people every morning. It not only refreshes the mind, but also brings a mellow enjoyment. However, the key to making a cup of mellow coffee is to choose high-quality coffee beans and maintain them correctly.

First of all, when buying coffee beans, choose beans that are fresh and in good condition. Freshness is one of the most important factors in ensuring the flavor of coffee. You can judge whether the beans are fresh by observing the production date marked on the package. In addition, pay attention to check whether the packaging is intact to avoid buying beans that show signs of moisture or deterioration.

Secondly, there are several key points to note when storing and preserving coffee beans. The first is to avoid exposure to direct sunlight or high temperature. Sunlight and high temperature will accelerate the oxidation process and cause flavor loss. The second is to keep the environment dry and prevent air from entering the bag. You can put the unused coffee beans in a sealed container and store it in a cool and dry place. Finally, avoid opening the coffee bean bag frequently, because each opening will allow air to enter and accelerate the loss of flavor.

In addition to proper storage, the way you grind coffee beans also affects the taste of coffee. Generally speaking, keeping the coffee beans in a whole particle state and grinding them on the spot before brewing can achieve a better taste. This is because keeping the beans intact can delay the oxidation process and allow moisture to penetrate more evenly into the particles.

Finally, pay attention to controlling the water temperature and time during the brewing process. The water temperature should be between 90℃-96℃. Too high or too low will affect the flavor of the coffee. In addition, the soaking time also needs to be mastered. Usually 3-4 minutes is enough to extract the aroma and taste of the coffee beans.

In short, on the basis of selecting high-quality coffee beans and properly maintaining them, properly controlling the water temperature and time during brewing is the key to creating a mellow coffee. I hope these maintenance guidelines can help you make a cup of mellow coffee.
