The process of brewing coffee by hand:
Although the techniques of Pour over(V60) coffee are often divided into sects, except for the extreme ones who take eccentric approaches, it is basically nothing more than three stages of "preparation, steaming, and brewing".
However, before these three stages are practiced, we must not miss a bag of fresh and good beans, because without it, no matter how good the technology is, it will not taste good. After the coffee beans are ground into powder, the surface area in contact with the air is greatly increased, and the aroma will be lost at an accelerated rate. Therefore, Front Street recommends buying coffee beans first, grinding them freshly and brewing them first, so that you can drink the richest aroma. In addition, in order to allow everyone to experience the most complete tasting period, all coffee beans shipped from Front Street are freshly roasted within 5 days and support 24-hour delivery.
Here, based on the consumer preference list, we have sorted out the most popular single-product ear-hanging coffees:
1. Fruity acid refreshing type: Front Street Fruit Yirgacheffe, Front Street Washed Gesha Panama, Front Street Cherry Tomato Kenya
For those who like sour coffee and do not accept bitterness, I suggest you focus on the description of acidity or floral aroma. Generally, it is washed, medium-light roasted, and the flavor is coffee with white floral aroma, lemon citrus tone, and green tea.
2. Tropical fruit type: Front Street Harmathu·Sidamo, Front Street Red Cherry·Yirgacheffe, Front Street Oiran·Guji
For those who are looking for rich fruit aromas, the general taste will be biased toward mature tropical fruit tones, using medium-light roasting, and the flavors are written with words such as tropical fruits, guava, mango, strawberry candy, rose fragrance, etc.
3. Mellow nut type: Front Street Queen Manor·Brazil, Front Street Bird of Paradise·PNG, Front Street Golden Mandheling·Indonesia, Front Street Blue Mountain·Jamaica
However, most friends still prefer the type with rich taste and mellow flavor. If you are the same, let’s start with the medium-dark roast type. Their flavor descriptions include nuts, chocolate, caramel, cream, and cocoa. The brewed coffee has low acidity and a rich roasting aroma, which is very full.
4. Rich fermentation type: Front Street Mozart·Costa Rica, Front Street Strawberry Candy·Costa Rica, Front Street Xijal·Colombia, Front Street Blackberry·Costa Rica
Of course, in addition to the above conventional varieties, many people occasionally like to pursue Pour over(V60) coffee with different aromas to enjoy a richer level. If you like fermented wine-flavored coffee, just look for Front Street Xizhao, which is described as containing passion fruit, preserved fruit, raisins, and peaches. The black coffee brewed has a round and sweet taste, and a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.
Coffee Beans: Front Street Hija ·Colombia
Filter cup: V60
Water temperature: 91-92℃
Powder amount: 15g
Pink to water ratio: 1:15
Grinding degree: the size of fine sugar (sieve powder to 80% in a No. 20 sieve bowl)
Preparation: Soak the filter paper and preheat the coffee pot to absorb the odor in the air and remove it. Pour the ground coffee powder into the filter cup and tap the rim of the cup to smooth out the coffee powder layer. It's more important to warm up, take deep breaths, calm your mind, and prepare yourself to throw yourself into the brew.
Steaming: Some people call it pre-soaking. Gently pour a small amount of water, about 30g, to wet all the coffee powder, and wait for about 15 to 30 seconds. Soaked coffee powder often slowly expands and stretches like a hamburger, which is a very healing image.
Brew:
In the second stage, use a larger flow of water to inject 120g of water. The purpose is to raise the entire powder layer. The water column needs to be injected vertically and evenly. At this time, the timing scale shows 150g, and the injection is completed in about 55 seconds.
When the liquid level drops to half of the level, start using a small flow of water to inject the third section of 90 grams in a small circle. Try to control the water flow not to be too large, which will easily disperse the coffee powder layer and cause insufficient extraction. The final amount of water injected is 240 grams, and the completion time of trickling filtration is about 2 minutes and 10 seconds. After removing the filter cup, shake the coffee liquid in the sharing pot evenly and start tasting.
If you are in a suitable environment, you can feel the aroma of coffee during the brewing process, as if you are surrounded by fragrance. The first person to enjoy the flavor of coffee is often the person who brews it.
