Coffee, a drink from ancient times, has now developed into a popular daily drink around the world. Filter paper brewing coffee, as a classic and popular way of making coffee, has won the favor of many coffee lovers with its pure taste and convenient operation.
This article will introduce the method and precautions of filter paper brewing coffee in detail, helping you to easily make delicious coffee at home.
1. Method of filter paper brewing coffee
Grinding coffee beans
Take an appropriate amount of coffee beans for medium grinding, and the grinding particles should be slightly coarser than sugar. This degree of grinding helps to fully release the flavor and aroma of coffee during the brewing process.
Depending on personal taste and brewing utensils, the degree of grinding can be adjusted appropriately.
Prepare filter paper and filter cup
Fold the filter paper along the sealing line and put it into the filter cup, making sure that the filter paper fits tightly with the filter cup.
Soak the filter paper with hot water to remove the paper smell and preheat the filter cup and sharing pot.
Weighing coffee powder
Use an electronic scale to weigh the appropriate amount of coffee powder according to the brewing amount. Usually, about 10 grams of coffee powder is needed for two people’s coffee.
Set the water temperature
The ideal brewing water temperature is 84°C to 93°C. This temperature range can fully extract the flavor of the coffee while avoiding the bitter taste.
Steaming
Drawing circles from the center to the outside, pour a little hot water to fully soak the coffee powder. The steaming time is about 30 seconds, which helps to release the aroma and flavor of the coffee.
Brewing
Continue to pour hot water in circles from inside to outside and from outside to inside to maintain uniform brewing.
During the brewing process, pay attention to controlling the water flow rate and the powder-water ratio. The general powder-water ratio is 1:11 to 1:18.
Depending on personal taste, the brewing time and powder-water ratio can be adjusted appropriately to achieve the ideal taste.
Sharing and tasting
After brewing, pour the coffee into the sharing pot and then into the coffee cup.
When tasting, pay attention to the aroma, taste and aftertaste of the coffee and enjoy the pleasure brought by coffee.
2. Precautions
Water quality selection
It is recommended to use neutral water (PH value is 7.0) for brewing to avoid the influence of water quality on the taste of coffee.
Extraction time
The extraction time should not be too long to avoid bitterness. Generally, the extraction time for two people’s coffee is between 1 minute and 30 seconds and 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Avoid backwashing
Backwashing is not recommended to avoid destroying the taste and aroma of coffee.
Coffee cup selection
Choose a cup suitable for tasting coffee, such as a ceramic cup or a glass cup, to fully show the aroma and taste of coffee.
Drinking on an empty stomach
Drinking coffee on an empty stomach is more likely to cause “stomach gas injury” and affect the digestion and absorption of gastric function. In severe cases, it may cause gastric ulcers.
Drinking in moderation
Drinking coffee in moderation can refresh the mind, but drinking too much may cause nervousness and insomnia. It is recommended to drink reasonably according to personal constitution and needs.
Coffee and calcium
Each cup of coffee will lose about 8 mg of calcium. People who are calcium deficient should not drink coffee to avoid aggravating calcium loss.
Brewing coffee with filter paper is a simple and effective way to make coffee. Through reasonable grinding, brewing and tasting steps, the flavor and aroma of coffee can be fully displayed. At the same time, paying attention to details such as water quality, extraction time, and coffee cup selection is also the key to making delicious coffee.
