The magic of coffee beans: perfect coffee!

Coffee beans are a magical ingredient that can make delicious coffee. Whether it is a strong espresso or a soft latte, high-quality coffee beans are indispensable.

First of all, it is very important to choose the right coffee beans. Coffee beans produced in different regions have different tastes and flavors. Coffee beans produced in Colombia usually have a rich taste like citrus and chocolate; coffee beans produced in Brazil tend to be sweet like nuts and caramel; coffee beans produced in Ethiopia are famous for their floral and tea-like fragrance. Choose the variety that suits your taste according to your personal preferences.

Secondly, you need to pay attention to the grinding degree and water temperature control during the production process. Grinding the coffee beans into powder with moderate coarseness and uniformity can ensure the best extraction effect. For equipment such as espresso or French press, a finer and more uniform grinding degree can make the coffee and water contact better, releasing more aroma and taste. In addition, water temperature is also an important factor affecting the taste of coffee. Generally speaking, it is ideal to heat the water to between 90℃-96℃.

Finally, you need to master the right time and ratio during the brewing process. For an espresso machine, use about 7 to 9 grams of coffee powder per cup and complete the brewing process in about 25 seconds. For hand-brew or drip brewing methods, you can adjust the amount and time according to your personal taste. Generally speaking, use 15 to 20 grams of coffee powder per cup and brew it in between 2 and 4 minutes.

In summary, making delicious coffee is inseparable from high-quality coffee beans, proper selection of grinding degree and control of water temperature, and reasonable adjustment of time and proportion. Only by integrating these key points and applying them flexibly can you truly experience the magic of coffee beans.
