Hand-grinded coffee beans, brewing techniques revealed!

Hand-grinding coffee beans is a traditional brewing method that can bring a richer and more complex coffee taste. However, to get the best hand-grinded coffee experience, you need to master some brewing skills. The following will reveal the brewing skills of hand-grinded coffee beans.

First of all, before hand grinding, we need to choose the right coffee beans and grinding degree. For people with different taste preferences, choosing the right coffee beans is very important. If you like a higher acidity and fresh taste, you can choose single-origin coffee beans from Asia or Africa; if you like bitter, strong and deep taste with a more complex and rich taste, you can choose coffee beans from Central and South America or blended coffee beans.

Secondly, when grinding manually, we need to pay attention to keeping the handle rotated steadily and evenly, and adjust the coarseness according to personal preference. Generally speaking, the coarseness of "medium" to "medium-fine" is the most suitable for manual filter. If the grind is too fine, the coffee will become too bitter; if the grind is too coarse, the coffee will be too thin. Therefore, when grinding manually, it is necessary to adjust according to personal taste and brewing equipment.

Finally, when brewing hand-ground coffee, we can choose different brewing methods and tools. Common manual filter cups include V60, condensation pot, etc. No matter which filter cup is used, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the water temperature and water filling speed. Generally speaking, the brewing effect is better with water temperature around 90°C, and the water should be evenly poured to ensure that the coffee powder is fully soaked and the aroma and taste are fully released.
