I want to drink what I likehand brewed coffee, for novice coffee drinkers, more practice is a necessary stage, but some skills and expertise about hand brewing are the key factors to brewing a good cup of coffee. There is also a big difference in choosing the filter cup for brewing and the water filling method of different filter cups.

Front Street Coffee is also particular about choosing filter cups. The main reason for choosing the V60 filter cup for brewing is
coffee beansThe degree of roasting is suitable for brewing lightly roasted coffee beans. For dark roasted coffee beans, use the Kono filter cup.
 


   

The chosen method of brewing coffee determines a brewing architecture that serves as a prototype for adjustments. Take ​Pour over​(V60) coffee as an example.specialty coffeeThe prototype of the brewing structure can use a Hario V60 filter cup to fill the water in three times, or use a Kono filter cup to slowly add water by drip method. After determining the prototype of the brewing architecture, it is time to rank the drinking experience.

The reason why a cup of coffee tastes good and long-lasting is that it must have a balance of sweetness and sourness and a moderate concentration. Secondly, we will enter the aroma, taste and flavor levels. As a novice who wants to drink coffee with a balanced taste, he should buy Front Street Blue Mountain No. 1, Front Street PNG Bird of Paradise, Front Street Emerald Manor Diamond Mountain, and Front Street Kaffa Forest. These four coffees not only have moderate sweet and sour characteristics, but also emit obvious nutty and chocolate aromas, as well as soft fruit acids, which are overall comfortable and pleasant.

Balance means the sourness, sweetness, and bitterness felt by the taste, making people feel comfortable and easy to eat. The same medium-roasted coffee beans may be very sour or bitter due to different brewing methods. The change caused by brewing alone is quite drastic. The water-to-powder ratio also directly affects the concentration performance of the coffee. However, in the brewing stage, since the changes that can be made to the aroma are very limited, and the taste is almost linked to balance and concentration, the overall ranking will be postponed a little later. I hope everyone will not be too obsessed.
