Hand-grinded coffee beans: fine and mellow taste

Coffee, as a popular drink, has a rich aroma and unique taste. To achieve the best taste of coffee, hand-grinding coffee beans is a crucial step. By finely grinding the coffee beans into the right particle size, the water can better contact with the coffee and release more rich flavor substances.

Choosing the right coffee beans

First of all, before manual grinding, we need to choose coffee beans of good quality, high freshness, well-preserved and in line with personal taste preferences. There are various varieties of coffee beans with different styles and characteristics produced by different origins and processing methods (such as washing method, sun drying method, etc.) on the market.

If you like a strong and bitter taste, you can try some deeply roasted coffee beans (such as French roasting, Italian roasting). If you prefer coffee with higher acidity and a refreshing taste, then choosing some medium or lightly roasted coffee beans may be more suitable for you.

Prepare grinding equipment

Before manual grinding, we need to prepare some necessary tools and equipment. The first is a coffee bean grinder, which is the most commonly used and most convenient and quickest grinding tool. Secondly, we also need a precision scale to help us control the amount of coffee powder used each time.

In addition, in order to ensure that the manual grinding process is not affected by other factors, we also need to pay attention to keeping the entire environment clean and tidy, and avoid odors and moisture from having adverse effects on the coffee beans and taste.

Adjust the particle size

Before conducting manual research, we need to adjust the appropriate particle size according to our own brewing method (such as drip, French press, etc.). Generally speaking, coarsely ground coffee beans are suitable for brewing methods with longer brewing time and longer contact time between water and coffee, while finely ground coffee beans are suitable for brewing methods with shorter brewing time and shorter contact time between water and coffee.

In addition, different coffee machines and brewing methods also have certain requirements for particle size. Therefore, during manual grinding, we need to adjust the appropriate particle size according to the equipment we use and our taste preferences.

Keep it fresh

After manual grinding, we need to store the coffee grounds in a clean, sealed container away from direct sunlight. This can help us maintain the freshness of the coffee grounds and prevent oxygen and moisture from having adverse effects on them.

In addition, during the storage process, we can also consider packaging the coffee in small portions and opening the package before each use to ensure that we can enjoy the freshest and most delicious taste every time.

Conclusion

Grinding coffee beans by hand is a process that requires patience and skill, but it is also an opportunity to better control the taste of coffee. By choosing the right coffee beans, preparing the necessary grinding equipment, and adjusting the particle size, we can maximize the flavor and taste of coffee.

Therefore, if you want to enjoy the mellow taste of coffee, why not try hand-grinding! I believe you will be amazed by the delicious taste you make yourself.
