How to brew coffee beans directly
Coffee is an essential drink for many people in the morning, and there are many ways to make coffee. One of the simplest and most convenient methods is to brew coffee directly with coffee beans, eliminating the need for grinding. Here's how to make delicious and fragrant coffee using unground coffee beans.
Preparation
First, we need to prepare some tools and materials. You will need a suitable utensil for brewing coffee, such as a French press, a hand brewing pot, or a drip filter. In addition, you need to buy high-quality unground coffee beans that are fresh and taste the way you like.
Step 1: Choose the right ratio
Depending on your personal taste and the equipment you use, you can try different ratios to find the best recipe. Generally, use about 15 to 20 grams (about 2 tablespoons) of unground coffee beans for every 250 ml of water.
Step 2: Hot water pretreatment
Before you start brewing, you can pre-treat the appliance with hot water. This will remove odors from the appliance and improve the taste of the coffee. Pour the hot water into the appliance, shake it a little, and then pour it out.
Step 3: Add coffee beans and hot water
Next, place an appropriate amount of unground coffee beans in the filter or pot. Then, slowly pour in an appropriate amount of purified water at a temperature of about 90°C to 95°C (195°F to 205°F). Wait for a moment to allow the coffee to fully contact the water.
Step 4: Brewing time and stirring
The brewing time will vary according to personal preference and the equipment used. Generally, you can get a good tasting coffee by waiting about 4 minutes after adding boiling water. You can stir it gently during this period to ensure that all coffee particles are evenly soaked.
Step 5: Filter Press or Filter
The final step is to separate the coffee from the water. If you are using a French press, gently press down on the filter to isolate the coffee grounds at the bottom of the pot. If you are using a pour-over pot or drip filter, you can pour directly into the cup and pass it through a paper filter to remove the coffee grounds.
Enjoy delicious coffee
Now, you have successfully made a cup of delicious coffee with unground coffee beans. According to your personal taste, you can add appropriate amount of milk, sugar or other seasonings to adjust the taste and flavor.
summary
Although brewing directly with unground coffee beans may add a little more work and time, it also brings more freshness and original flavor. This method is suitable for those who pursue a different taste experience and can better preserve the characteristics of the coffee beans themselves.
No matter which method you choose to make your favorite fragrant black coffee, you need to remember to keep the coffee beans fresh and the correct brewing ratio. Only in this way can you taste the best coffee.
