Hand-brewed coffee beans: choose the most suitable aroma experience for you

Hand brewed coffee is a unique method of making coffee that allows us to better taste the mellow flavor of coffee beans. When choosing hand brewed coffee beans that are suitable for us, we can consider the following aspects.

First, choose fresh coffee beans. Freshness is one of the important factors that affect the taste and aroma of coffee. Fresh coffee beans usually have a stronger and more complex aroma and taste. Therefore, when buying hand-brewed coffee beans, we should choose products with a recent production date, good storage conditions and intact packaging. In addition, if conditions permit, it is best to buy whole unshelled or unground coffee beans and grind them on site before use to maintain the best flavor.

Secondly, when choosing hand-brewed coffee beans, you need to consider your personal taste preferences and what kind of style you like to experience: single variety or blended? Single varieties usually have obvious and prominent characteristics, such as fruity notes such as cinnamon or grapefruit; while blended types will blend a variety of different flavors to create a more complex taste. In addition, coffee beans from different origins will also bring different flavor characteristics. For example, Brazilian coffee usually has a nutty and chocolate aroma, while Kenyan coffee has a bright and sour fruit aroma. Therefore, when choosing hand-brewed coffee beans, you can choose according to your favorite flavor characteristics and personal taste preferences.

Finally, you also need to consider the roasting degree when choosing hand-brewed coffee beans. Roasting refers to the process of heating the raw beans to a certain temperature to change their physical properties and flavor characteristics. Generally speaking, light roasting (light roast) will retain more of the original origin characteristics, and have a higher acidity and a clear taste; medium roasting (medium roast) will add some mixed tones such as cocoa or nuts while retaining some of the original origin characteristics; dark roasting (dark roast) will make the original origin characteristics almost completely disappear, and have a lower acidity and a strong bitter taste. Therefore, when choosing hand-brewed coffee beans, you can choose the appropriate roasting degree according to your preference for acidity and bitterness.
