Coffee hand washing course

Step 1, heating equipment

Heat the filter cup and glass jar with a small amount of hot water. Let the temperature of the coffee set rise.

Step 2, wet the filter paper.

Put the filter paper into the filter cup and simply soak the filter paper with hot water (the filtered hot water is thrown backwards), so that the coffee to be brewed next can retain its original flavor.

Step 3, add coffee powder.

Put the required amount of coffee powder into the filter paper by hand. It is generally believed that the degree of hand grinding of coffee powder is similar to the thickness of sugar. But in fact, the thickness of coffee powder depends on personal preference, and there is no certain criterion.

Novices take10g coffee powder as an example, and mix about 180 ml for brewing. Then change on this basis until you find the proportion you like.

Step four, water injection and stewing.

"Flowering" (or "flowering"). Refers to the initial stage of hand brewing coffee. Firstly, a small amount of hot water (about twice the weight of coffee powder) is used to wet the ground coffee powder to make the coffee powder bubble and expand.

The washing method is to circle from the middle to the outside. At this time, the coffee powder will swell into the shape of a hamburger and constantly expel air. When the expansion ends and the contraction begins, it means that steaming is complete.

Step 5, water injection.

Secondary water injection

The "steaming" step is actually a water injection. Next, circle outward from the middle, slowly inject 100g water, and be careful not to let the water level exceed the edge of the coffee powder. There will be a lot of bubbles at this stage, and the aroma will become stronger.

Three-stage injection

When the water level in the first stage drops to 1/2, the third stage of water injection can be started. Slowly inject water into the center, keep flowing, keep the water flow stable, make the big coffee roll up, and avoid sinking at the bottom of the filter paper to block it.

When the coffee is slowly filtered, a cup of hand-brewed coffee is ready.
