Ice drinks are something that is hard to give up in summer, and Pour over(V60) coffee is no exception.
In the eyes of most of us, the requirements for a delicious cup of iced brew are actually not very high. It just needs to be cold enough without losing the proper coffee flavor. But if you want iced coffee to have a sweet and sour taste like juice, Front Street believes that you need to master a few tricks.
Which coffee bean has better juice?
There are many types of acids in coffee, and the acidity present in many specialty coffees is often inseparable from fruit acids. For example, in the flavor wheel, we use various common fruits to describe the acidity of coffee, such as citrus acid, citric acid, malic acid, peach acid, cherry acid, grape acid, malic acid... Different fruit acidity also reflects the terroir characteristics of coffee from different production areas.
Here Front Street has chosen a recently launched Front Street Kaffa Forest to demonstrate for everyone. This coffee bean is washed and has an elegant white floral aroma, as well as the juicy taste of sweet orange, dried apricot, peach, green grape, yellow lemon and other fruits.
How to make a glass of ice-cold hand brew with strong juice flavor?
Here, we combine the medium-light roasted coffee beans of the fruit acid type, with a water temperature of 91 to 93°C, a small flow of water in a circle, and a three-stage technique to make the extraction time fall between 1 minute and 50 seconds to 2 minutes, and you can easily brew a pot of iced coffee with online flavor.
The feeling of juice that appears in coffee is usually the rich fruity aroma you smell combined with the sweet and sour juiciness you feel in your mouth when you drink it, which is reminiscent of the experience of eating a certain kind of fruit. When we put it into today's topic of ice brewing, we must not only obtain the sour aroma substances in the front part, but also pursue the sweetness in the middle and back parts, in order to satisfy the sweet and sour juice taste. For such requirements, the stirring of water flow alone is not enough, so Front Street also added an action: stirring.
Filter bowl: Hario V60
Three-stage type: 30g, 90g + stirring, 40g
Before filling it with water, put ice cubes in the sharing pot and pour in all the coffee powder. The first stage of steaming remains unchanged, and the small water flow is maintained to inject 30 grams in a circle from the center to the outside.
After 30 seconds, start injecting 90 grams of hot water in a circle with a large flow of water, and at the same time raise the water level. Stop the water injection when the timer shows 120 grams. Use a small spoon to draw 5 circles in one direction along the wall of the filter cup, and then wait for the coffee liquid to slowly flow down.
Wait until the water in the filter cup is about to bottom out, and then use the first section of small water flow to complete the remaining 40 grams of hot water in a small circle. It will take about 1 minute and 25 seconds to get here. Until all the coffee liquid is dripped, you can remove the filter cup to end the extraction. The time will probably fall within the time range of 1 minute 55 seconds to 2 minutes 5 seconds. Finally, shake the sharing pot vigorously until all the ice cubes melt into the coffee liquid, and you can start tasting.
The washed kafa made with this technique has a very refreshing taste. When you enter it, you will first feel the sour and sweet taste of yellow peach, sweet orange, and grapefruit. The overall flavor tends to be yellow stone fruit. Due to the stirring action, the coffee is not only rich in fruit acid, but also has a refreshing sweetness. When cooled by ice cubes, it is like drinking a glass of refreshing sweet juice.
