Six key points in extraction:
1. Coffee bean: Fresh and high quality coffee beans
2. Appropriate grinding: Medium fine, brewing once grinding completed
3. Brewing water temperature: 82~83℃, taste changes as water temperature changes
Water temperature | Change of taste |
Above 88℃ | Too high water temperature:bubble will appear,leading to incomeplete bloom |
87~84℃(suitable for moderately and deeply roasted beans) | A little high water temperature: to cause strong and bitter taste. |
83~82℃(suitable for all roasted beans) | Appropriate temperature:to brew delicious and flavored coffee taste |
81~77℃(suitable for deeply roasted beans) | A little low water temperature:the coffee will be a little bitter and very sour, and uneven |
Below 76℃ | Too low water temperature can't show the delicious coffee, and leading to incomplete bloom. |
※A newly roasted beans should be extracted slowly in less than 80℃ water.
※Coffee beans which have been roasted for over two weeks should be extracted in 90℃ water . This can release the flavor and aroma.
4. Sufficient bloom: Keep the water steam slowly and gently, and the fresh ground coffee will expand like hamburger. Then let the coffee bloom for 20~30 seconds to release the coffee aroma.
5. Don’t pour the water through the edge of the filter to avoid too low concentration of coffee and tasteless coffee.
6. Too long a brew time can lead to over extraction.
The coffee ground on the filter will become uniform and perfect bowl shaped after extraction.
