Last time I roasted the last cup of geisha beans, there are ways to adjust each cup, and I was very satisfied with the last few cups. I was going to record a video of the brewing process and send it, thinking about how to explain it, and suddenly gave up. Because what people can accept at once in just three minutes will only be a limitation rather than an inspiration.
A while ago, I was recommended by a friend that buying books on Pinduoduo was very affordable, so I installed it. After I bought a few books, a window popped up saying that I had 100 yuan in my account to withdraw. I clicked the button out of curiosity, and the app started popping up like a movie star: You have drawn a lot of gold coins in the lottery, and your luck ranks among the top few in the country. 10 gold coins and if you are lucky, the gold coins will double, and you are still short of 20 gold coins to withdraw. God, how can you be so lucky and get the 10 gold coins given by the official, let’s try the withdrawal account first, right?—— Ding dong, I really put 5 cents into my withdrawal account – a good withdrawal account is no problem, now you need to work hard, send the help link to your friends and you can… The screen is like a movie I kept putting on the comedy of the world, and luck broke out. I almost didn’t need to participate in the whole process. I just saw a countdown that popped up occasionally, and the content was too late to see clearly. Generally speaking, the good operation is fleeting. 5, 4, I don’t want to lose it. Just click Continue, 3, 2, 1. In short, don’t think about it, listen to it, stay excited, and forward the link.
But I decisively turned it off. If there is something that makes you stop thinking and just do it, I recommend that you think about what good intentions it can have. So, after running for a long time, I want to say, I can’t teach people to make coffee like this. Although many customers are actually willing to hear: the grinding scale is adjusted to 20, the water temperature is 92 degrees, and it is steamed for a few seconds for a few seconds of extraction… But the more people who want to get the exact number, the more reluctant they are to try to adjust it by themselves. Then I, if I want these people to drink good coffee, I can’t just say numbers. I am willing to guide you to make coffee—to share the joy of drinking coffee, the problems encountered when making coffee, to seduce you, and hope to guide you to make coffee that you are satisfied with.
Take my usual light roasted coffee beans, for example. You can start debugging by grinding the sugar particles first. You will find that grinding a little finer can increase the feeling of mellow and bitterness, and grinding a little more coarsely will often increase some acidity; when the water temperature is lower than 85 degrees, you will find that the coffee becomes sour and unpleasant. It is weak and often has a burnt and bitter taste when it is higher than 95 degrees; when 16 grams of coffee powder is extracted with less than 180 ml of water, it is difficult to control the water flow to achieve sufficient contact time of powder and water. The taste is strong but salty and sour, more than 300 ml It gradually becomes more bitter and boring… So for each different coffee, we will be about the grinding degree of sugar granules, the water temperature of 85-95 degrees, the water consumption of 13-18 times the weight of the coffee powder, and 2.5 minutes. It takes about a few minutes to get a corresponding perfect state within these value ranges to make a perfect cup of coffee.
Learning coffee, in fact, is to find the reason why coffee is not good, and have a direction to adjust. The so-called perfection is only defined by coffee drinkers. A cup of sour and bright coffee may be perfect when you are in a good mood, and a mellow and sweet coffee may be perfect when you close your eyes while listening to a quiet tune. The same kind of coffee beans can be drunk in different styles, but they can be equally perfect.
