[Coffee brewing method]How much water do you need to brew coffee correctly?

1. Filter paper brewing

Simple coffee brewing method. Filter paper can be discarded immediately after use, which is more hygienic and easy to organize. The amount of boiling water and the injection method can also be adjusted. It can also be brewed for one person, which is a brewing method with a small number of people. The main method of brewing coffee is similar to the bag brewing method. The coffee beans with a longer roasting time are selected and ground into powder, and the ingredients contained in the coffee are brewed in five minutes. If you like to drink a slightly weaker coffee, the amount of coffee beans can be slightly increased, but the particles need to be larger and the brewing time needs to be shortened. The filter paper must be used in conjunction with the filter. The filter is usually made of plastic or ceramic. However, if you want to maintain the temperature of the boiling water, it is better to use plastic, which is more difficult to conduct heat than ceramic. The filter and filter paper can be selected in different sizes according to the amount of coffee brewed.

About utensils: The dripper has two holes and three holes. Using the three-hole type here, two or three hundred yuan will be available. Then you have to have filter paper, which is available in supermarkets, only a few dozen dollars. The spout used for pouring boiling water is small at the tip so that the boiling water can be poured vertically on the ground coffee, which is more appropriate.

The key point of brewing: one person’s coffee powder is about ten to twelve grams and the boiling water is 120 cc. For those who like light coffee, the amount of powder is about 8 grams per person and can be brewed. For people who like a strong bitter taste, the amount of powder can be about 12 grams per person. After fully steaming and boiling, slowly pour in boiling water. It is easier to operate if the pot for hot water is filled with about seven or eight points, and the amount of boiling water is prepared according to the number of people. It is possible to drop the amount of coffee for the desired number of people while measuring the amount of the beaker. Do not drip the filtered extract to the last drop, and stop in the residual state (if all drips may have odor or impurities, etc.). Warm the beaker to such an extent that it does not boil before pouring it into the coffee cup. This method, like syphon, is technically important. The sour taste of the coffee that may be brewed at the beginning will be very heavy. In addition to the poor control of the water output, the quality of the coffee itself (freshness…etc) and the thickness of the particles are also important factors.

Brewing steps:

(1) The next part of the filter paper is folded along the sewing line and put into the drip.

(2) Pour one portion (about 10 ~ 12g for one person) of the ground coffee powder into the drip glass with a measuring spoon, and then tap a few times to make the surface flat .

(3) After boiling water in a teapot, pour it into a fine-mouthed kettle, and pour the boiling water (water temperature is about 95 degrees) from the center point, slowly in a spiral manner until the water seeps through and spreads over the coffee grounds. Be sure to pour slowly.

(4) When the taste is over, extract the delicious ingredients and steam the expanded coffee powder for a while (stay for about 20 seconds)

(5) The second boiling water is slowly poured from the surface of the ground coffee. The amount of injected water must be consistent with the amount of coffee liquid extracted, and the amount of boiling water in the filter paper must be kept constant.

(6) The extraction liquid can be stopped when it reaches the number of people. Discard it with boiling water remaining in the filter paper.

Second, flannel filter brewing

flannel filter brewing Steep – to maximize the flavor of the coffee. The coffee brewed with a flannel filter is mellow and delicious. Special attention should be paid to the sorting and storage of non-filters, otherwise the coffee taste will be low.

Steam pressurized coffee maker – Italian style. The steam pressurized coffee maker is characterized by using steam pressure to instantly extract the coffee liquid. Bitter steamed coffee is the foundation of all types of coffee.

Before brewing coffee – have good water to match: fresh water will contain a moderate amount of carbon dioxide after boiling, which can increase the aroma of coffee, but continuing to boil the water will make the carbon dioxide Evaporation is reduced, so the suitable water temperature is 95°C. If the water temperature is too low, the coffee flavor will not be fully released. If the water temperature is too high, the coffee components will deteriorate. Too much or not enough is bad.

Insulation and preservation of coffee: To maintain the temperature of coffee, you can first heat the cup and plate that holds the coffee, and when you drink the coffee, you can soak the coffee pot in hot water to keep warm, and boil it in boiling water. Keep the coffee heat in a good state. If you put the coffee pot directly on the gas stove to heat it, be careful not to boil it. This method of brewing coffee will cause chemical changes to some components once boiled, and the sour taste will become stronger and damaged. Original fragrance.

Three, filter paper brewing and grinding method: medium and fine

The brewing method with filter paper is an easy and hygienic brewing method, and there is no need to buy expensive equipment. The coffee can be brewed easily at home, and another advantage is that it is easy to adjust the amount of coffee powder, the amount of hot water and the injection method.

The brewing kettle should have a thin mouth. The hot water can be vertical Inject, and the pot is filled with 7-8 minutes of hot water. When pouring boiling water, pour it slowly when the number of coffee is small, and pour it faster when the number of coffee is large, so that you can brew a fragrant coffee.

Brewing steps: Bend the filter paper seal lines for coffee alternately and place them in the drip coffee pot; put 10g of coffee powder in a cup of coffee, shake the drip coffee pot gently to flatten the surface of the coffee; put the boiling Carefully pour water on each inch of coffee powder; in order to extract the delicious ingredients of coffee, it takes about 20 seconds to cook; depending on the amount of coffee, pour an appropriate amount of hot water from the center to the outside, and pour it in a circle at a time, wait for the coffee to drip Put it in the tray.

Fourth, Flannel filter drip grinding method: medium

Its brewing method is similar to filter paper, but the coffee taste presented But it is more detailed, it can present the bitterness, sourness and other characteristics of coffee, but the flannel filter is more inconvenient than the filter paper in maintenance, cleaning and finishing. When using it for the first time, it needs to be rinsed with hot water. , and then put it into boiling water soaked with coffee powder or tea residues and cook for 10 minutes to remove the smell of the cloth, then wash it with water. Use soap or dry it directly, otherwise it will produce peculiar smell, put it in an airtight container when refrigerating it to avoid contaminating the smell of other foods.

Brewing steps: Take out the filter from the water, wring out the water lightly with your hands, pour the coffee powder into the filter with the plush side facing out, shake gently, drop the boiled water into the coffee, and pour the boiling water into the coffee from the center To the surrounding area, do not inject too much at a time to avoid leakage of coffee. Pure substance, the taste of coffee will be poor. After extraction, the central part will not sag, and there will be no residual foam on the surface.

V. Syphon grinding: medium-fine

The siphon grinding brewing method is a method of brewing coffee using steam pressure, which is interesting in that it can Seeing through the process of coffee extraction, the boiling water in the flask boils and evaporates directly into the funnel to complete the coffee extraction process, and the extracted coffee flows into the flask again. Visually satisfying too.

Brewing steps: Pour the water into the flask, ignite the alcohol lamp at the bottom to heat, install the filter on the funnel, pour in an appropriate amount of coffee powder, boil the water, and insert the funnel above the flask (if the water temperature is low) Insert, the taste will become worse) After the water is heated, it evaporates and rises to the funnel, and the coffee powder will float above the boiling water when it is under pressure. Stir the coffee powder deposited below with bamboo chips so that it can dissolve. Soak it in boiling water for 30 seconds, and then use bamboo chips in the boiling water. In the funnel, slowly stir 6-7 times in concentric circles. After stirring for 45 seconds, turn off the alcohol lamp. The coffee in the funnel will flow down to the flask after being filtered by the filter, and you are done.

Six. Steam pressure grinding method: very fine

Steam pressure brewing coffee is to use steam pressure to instantly extract the coffee liquid, which is represented by espress For the purpose of fast, espresso has a strong and strong bitter taste. The surface of the freshly brewed coffee will appear delicate and soft foam. Because the hot water is sprayed in an instant, the bubbles caused by the coffee are pulled out in one breath. This is the unique flavor of espresso.

Brewing steps: first use the lower half of the pot, fill the pot with water to 90% full (because the water will be absorbed by the coffee powder), pour the coffee powder into the cup and press lightly with a spoon, Set it up and down and then cover the pot. Remember to lock it tightly to prevent the steam or the heater from leaking out. Put the coffee pot on the gas stove, boil it with high heat and wait for the hot water to rise, then turn it to a small fire. Remember not to open the lid to prevent the water from overflowing. When the hot water has risen to the upper half, pour it into the coffee cup quickly before the foam disappears.

Seven, water drop grinding method: fine

It mainly uses coffee to dissolve in water, and it is slowly extracted from water. Using a coffee distiller to extract drop by drop, it takes a long time, and the taste of coffee will vary with the degree of roasting, the amount of water, and the time, so it is suitable for deeply roasted coffee beans, otherwise the sourness will be too strong.

Brewing steps: Pour water into the upper pot and fix the filter paper in the cylindrical filter tube, put in the coffee, press lightly to fix it, and immerse all the coffee powder in the water filter tube and the holder for the coffee powder After the cup is set properly, adjust the drip plug (about 40-42 drops per minute), and the extraction can be completed after about 5-6 hours.

Eighth, the grinding method of iced coffee: fine

One of the above methods to brew coffee liquid, but the strength needs to be 2 times the strength of hot coffee. Fill the glass with ice cubes, add coffee to make it freeze quickly, or put the coffee pot on the Cool in ice-cold water, and then put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate, but it should be noted that if the cooling time is too long, it will form ice cubes or cause the taste to deteriorate.

Preparation of sugar juice: The preparation method of sugar juice is to dissolve sugar and water in a ratio of 4:6, and let it cool naturally. It should be noted that too much water will make the coffee taste weaker, and too much water will make the coffee taste weaker. At least, it is not easy to dissolve with coffee. After mixing, you can store the sugar machine in the refrigerator for a while.

9. How many degrees of water should be used to make coffee

I often see many people who will directly use the boiled water to make the coffee In fact, this kind of water is not suitable for brewing coffee, and the taste of the brewed coffee will be too bitter and difficult to eat. The temperature that is really suitable for brewing coffee is about 85 degrees Celsius to 92 degrees Celsius. If the water temperature is too low, the taste will be sour. On the contrary, if the temperature is too high, it will be bitter, because the water with higher temperature, the coffee powder extract is stronger. Although it is generally believed that the more the extract, the stronger the taste, but it is not the best taste, and there may be miscellaneous flavors.
