How to make coffee?

There are many ways to brew coffee all over the world, and the details of each way are different because of the conditions set by the barista. Today, Bian Xiao will introduce several brewing methods that we may encounter in the future, and first understand the differences in flavor and smell brought by each brewing method. Today, we will not elaborate on the steps and methods of coffee brewing for the time being, but rather understand the characteristics of various utensils and products for coffee brewing, so that we can correctly find out the usable utensils at all stages of learning coffee or at home.

One: Siphon pot coffee

The first brewing method, I believe that many friends who are crazy about drinking coffee must have this simple and generous appliance at home.

Siphon brewing mainly needs to observe the temperature of water and the number of times of stirring. The brewed coffee will be turbid in color, thick in taste and high in oil. Because it is brewed in a high temperature environment, there are not many flavor levels and it is relatively concentrated. You should also pay attention to the problem of excessive extraction.

After the brewing is completed, the natural and complete hills after the coffee powder is precipitated are a symbol of the technical proficiency of the barista, which shows that the coffee powder is stirred evenly and stably during the brewing process. However, having hills does not mean that coffee must be delicious, and siphon coffee without hills does not necessarily taste bad. There are many factors influencing coffee brewing, so don't be too persistent about one of them.

Two: Turkish coffee

The second brewing method is actually quite rare in China, but it has begun to recover abroad. Turkish coffee is a coffee utensil that many girls fall in love with. In fact, there are allusions! It is said that every Turkish girl should learn to make this coffee. When someone proposes, girls can add sugar to their coffee if they like (the more they like each other, the more they like it). Otherwise, the man will drink bitter coffee, which is actually a euphemism without losing etiquette.

The most amazing thing about Turkish coffee is that its flavor is brewed at high temperature and has not been filtered, so the flavor of beans is really clear inside. Full of thick nutty and coffee chocolate flavor, it will make people bite after bite (of course, it has a lot to do with beans. Usually Turkish coffee uses Brazilian coffee beans, which is also because of this taste).

In addition, some Turkish baristas can use it to tell fortune, mainly by using the leftover coffee grounds to judge the future direction and fortune of sommeliers.

Three: Hand-made coffee

The third most common way to brew coffee is the most familiar hand-brewed coffee! Usually, a single coffee bean is used for brewing. The taste buds are layered, the aroma is layered like flowers, and the color is clear and clean. It is a necessary coffee appliance for many families who love coffee.

The most interesting thing about drinking hand-brewed coffee is that hand-brewed utensils are not as difficult to obtain as other brewing methods. Every time there are different choices from the coffee pot to the filter cup, the coffee brewed is always different. If you like such changeable and troublesome friends, let's start here!

Four: cold extraction of coffee

The fourth brewing method is the most popular coffee brewing method recently, which is super suitable for hot weather season and lazy people who have no time. Because you don't need to spend too much skill to treat it, as long as you choose the right beans, you are willing to exchange time (after all, it takes at least 12 hours to drink this bubble), much like the concept of soaking herbal tea in Taiwan Province Province.

Cold extraction coffee uses the same basic powder-water ratio, and cold extraction, as its name implies, is to extract coffee essence with cold water. Of course, you need to give it enough time. After we pour cold water, we should send it to the refrigerator as soon as possible. Coffee at room temperature is as easy to deteriorate or deteriorate!

The best thing about cold-pressed coffee is that it can usually be kept in the refrigerator for about a week (depending on people) and drunk several times. Is it convenient?

Five: Italian coffee

The fifth way to brew coffee is espresso. This large machine usually only appears in coffee shops or special occasions, but there are actually many small home coffee machines on the market, which are suitable for you who like to drink sweet or add dairy products and are a novice coffee maker.

The steps are basically powder filling, powder sorting, flattening, extraction and painting.

Everyone must know the taste and know a little about it. Basically, Italian coffee will have more than 2-3 kinds of mixed beans, so that the flavor of coffee has multiple levels. Otherwise, dairy products will become tasteless in many cases, definitely not because of additives such as flavors.

Six: iced coffee

The last way to brew coffee is iced coffee, which is also a drink that needs a long wait. Mainly because it is extracted with cold (iced) water for a long time, the taste is purer and brighter, and the flavor is quite rich. Different from other brewing methods, iced coffee has a strong fermentation flavor after extraction (at least 6-8 hours). If you are not used to drinking coffee, you can try iced coffee first, which will give you a completely different taste from hot coffee!

Maybe someone will see this place and think, isn't it longer to keep cold-extracted coffee? But this is actually different! Iced coffee also has the concept of washing hands, such as filtering to extract coffee, so coffee is richer, and every drop is the essence of the essence.
