First of all, let me ask you a question. Are you using a professional semi-automatic coffee machine or a fully manual coffee machine? Assume that you are using a professional semi-automatic coffee machine! The method is very simple. If you If you have a semi-automatic coffee machine, you will definitely be able to make ESPRESSO first (that is, espresso, the top layer of coffee powder extracted juice). If your cup is 4OZ, it is most suitable for making American coffee. Use 2OZ special coffee. Strong coffee (made with a double-ended handle + 14 grams of coffee powder) and then add 2OZ of hot water. Just like this, a cup of Americano coffee is successfully made. By the way, I’ll give you a little PS. Americano coffee also has a good name. That is It’s called golden coffee! The reason is that if you do it well (coffee making expert) you can make a cup of Americano in a glass. When it’s done, you will see a cup of coffee with a layer of golden coffee oil floating on it!

Tip 1: Choose your favorite coffee brewing method. Don’t care what others say. As long as you use it smoothly, brew it conveniently, and drink it happily, it will be the most suitable coffee brewing method for you. Some people like to use the convenient and fast American coffee pot to make coffee, some people prefer to enjoy the romantic and elegant coffee of the windbreaker (siphon type), and some people prefer the simplicity and purity of the French press, the Italian style of the Moka pot, or the hand-made coffee. Regardless of the flavor of brewing filter coffee, the brewing method that suits others may not necessarily be the best for you. Choosing the coffee brewing method that suits you best and your favorite is the first prerequisite for enjoying the fun of DIY coffee brewing. Tip 2: Only buy "freshly roasted" coffee beans that are "marked with the roasting date." "Coffee beans are fresh food" is a very popular concept abroad. Freshly roasted is the life of a good cup of coffee! Freshly roasted coffee beans retain the most fragrant and charming coffee flavor, and can easily brew the most fragrant cup of coffee; stale coffee beans have long lost their flavor, and can only brew a cup of bitter black coffee that is not fragrant enough, or may even have been altered. water. If you don’t buy baked bread that was baked a month ago, from now on, please refuse to buy “stale roasted” coffee beans/coffee powder that does not clearly indicate the roasting date, or that has been roasted for more than seven days. Tip 3: Use "good water" to make coffee. In a cup of coffee, more than 98% of the ingredients are "water". The importance of water is unquestionable! Even using the best coffee beans will be wasted if you use bad (e.g. unclean, smelly) water to make coffee - bad water can ruin the best coffee. Even a simple "water filter" can filter out many bad substances for "tap water", making the brewed coffee more fragrant, rich and mellow. When making coffee, like making tea, avoid using distilled water. If the tap water in your area is of poor quality, using clean mountain spring water is also an ideal method. Tip 4: Put enough coffee. The amount of coffee beans used must be sufficient. Using too little coffee powder may result in bitterness or bland taste, but don’t put too much at one time. The standard amount of coffee is: use "two level spoons" (about 15 grams) of coffee beans (powder) to make "one cup" (about 180cc) of coffee. Please adjust your coffee consumption according to this ratio. Tip 5: Appropriate water temperature Generally speaking, the most suitable water temperature for brewing coffee is between 85 and 95 degrees Celsius. Avoid using hot water that has just boiled to brew coffee. After the water boils, let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes before brewing coffee. Tip 6: Keep your coffee equipment clean at all times. Don’t bring the concept of “maintaining a pot” for making tea to your coffee equipment! After each use of coffee utensils, you need to clean them immediately and keep them in a ventilated place to keep them clean and dry. If you apply the concept of "keeping a pot" to coffee utensils, you will get a cup of bad coffee full of strange oily smell. . Tip 7: Drink the coffee within ten minutes after brewing it. Don’t believe that the coffee you brew can be “kept warm” on the “electric heating plate” of the coffee pot for most of the day! The longer the coffee is left, the flavor gradually disappears and becomes stale. After brewing the coffee, enjoy it within ten minutes, then you are an expert.

The world of coffee is rich, exciting and unpredictable. But as long as you master these seven tips, good coffee will always be by your side.
