Coffee is a must-have drink for many people every morning. It not only refreshes the mind, but also brings a rich taste and delicious taste. It is also a kind of enjoyment to use coffee beans to brew a cup of fragrant and delicious coffee at home. The following will introduce how to use the coffee beans at home to brew a cup of coffee with rich taste and overflowing aroma.

First of all, it is very important to choose coffee beans that suit your taste and preferences. There are a variety of coffee beans with different origins, roasting degrees and flavor characteristics on the market. If you like a higher acidity and fresh taste, you can choose single-origin beans from Asia or South America; if you prefer a deep caramel-like sweet and rich and fragrant flavor, you can try blended beans such as mocha or Brazilian origin. No matter which type you choose, make sure you buy it fresh and well preserved (preferably whole and not broken).

Secondly, pay attention to the fineness and uniformity of the ground coffee beans during the brewing process. Grinding the coffee beans into a powder that suits your brewing method is the key. If you use a drip filter or French press, it is recommended to choose a medium-fine grind; if you use an espresso pot or hand brewer, you will need a finer powder. In addition, in order to maintain the flavor and aroma of the coffee beans themselves, it is best to grind them immediately before brewing.

Finally, strike a balance between water temperature, ratio and time. Water temperature is one of the important factors affecting the taste and flavor of coffee. Generally speaking, 92℃-96℃ is the ideal water temperature range. In addition, the ratio of water to coffee powder should also be reasonably matched, usually 1:15 to 1:18 (i.e. 1 gram of coffee corresponds to 15 to 18 ml of water). In addition, the soaking time should also be adjusted according to personal taste. Usually 3-4 minutes can get a better taste.
