Hand-drip coffee powder 40g: the secret of a perfect cup of hand-drip coffee

Pour-over coffee is a unique way of brewing coffee that emphasizes the original flavor and delicate taste of the coffee beans. To make a perfect cup of pour-over coffee, you need to pay attention to the following key elements.

First of all, it is very important to choose the right coffee beans. High-quality coffee beans have rich and complex flavor characteristics, which can bring a better taste experience to hand-brewed coffee. It is recommended to choose single-origin or mixed beans that are fresh, moderately roasted, clearly produced, and carefully selected and ground. About 40 grams is a more ideal amount.

Secondly, you also need to pay attention to the water temperature and water quality. The water temperature should be between 90°C-96°C. Too low will result in insufficient extraction, and too high may bring a bitter taste. In addition, pure water with no odor or contaminants and moderate hardness (about 120-150ppm) can also ensure the best results.

Finally, it is about brewing skills and time control. Pour boiling water into the pot to preheat it, and evenly pour 40 grams of coffee powder into the filter paper. Then, slowly and evenly pour the hot water into the coffee powder on the filter paper to start soaking. First, the "wetting" stage is carried out, that is, a small amount of water is gently poured into the coffee powder on the filter paper, and wait for about 30 seconds for it to expand and release gas.

Next is the formal brewing stage. While keeping the water injection speed constant, rinse the entire coffee bed in a clockwise circle. Be careful not to let the water flow directly contact the edge or wall of the filter paper to avoid a bitter taste. The entire brewing process takes about 2-3 minutes.

The last step is to enjoy the delicious hand-brewed coffee! Pour the freshly brewed hand-brewed coffee into the pre-heated cup and taste it as soon as possible. Hand-brewed coffee is usually fresh, soft and delicate in taste. When tasting, you can take a deep breath of aroma with your nose and savor the complex and rich taste on your tongue.

In short, to make a perfect cup of hand-brewed coffee, you need to pay attention to choosing high-quality coffee beans, controlling the water temperature and water quality, and paying attention to brewing skills and time control. Only when these elements are properly grasped can you taste a cup of hand-brewed coffee with a delicate taste and rich flavor.
