Water flow control, water injection timing, and coordination between various parameters are all details that we need to pay attention to during the coffee brewing process. Even if Front Street believes that the three-stage type is the easiest to brew good coffee and has the highest error tolerance, none of these three details can be left out when brewing.When I have been concentrating for a long time, I will occasionally want to have a slightly simpler brewing session. For example, you don’t need to pay attention to the timing of water filling, and you can easily brew coffee without having to constantly control the water flow. Coincidentally, Front Street discovered a flushing method that meets the above conditions yesterday! As long as we inject a fixed amount of water at a fixed time, we can easily brew a cup of delicious coffee.This method was developed by the founder of Norwegian coffee brand April--Patrik RolfShared! In addition to being the founder of a coffee brand, he is also the runner-up of WBrC in 2019.Patrik has a unique and systematic understanding of coffee, just like the brewing method shared by Front Street today. Although it is very different from the traditional brewing method, the taste of coffee has a good performance and is very practical.Front Street first introduces this brewing plan, it is very simple! We only need to split the amount of injected water into two sections, and then inject it at a fixed time. However, this plan has a limitation - it needs to be paired with a flat bottom/Cake strainerUse.There are two reasons why you need to use a cake filter cup. The first reason is that because the bottom of the cake filter cup is a "flat ground", the distribution of coffee powder can be relatively even, and there will not be high requirements on water flow control. At the same time, the powder bed will not be too thick, and the brewed coffee will have a higher consistency!Secondly, because the flow rate of the cake filter cup is generally slow, the hot water can stay in the filter cup for more time. And since the hot water is injected in two sections, the amount injected each time is not too small. This combined with the slow flow rate can produce moreImmersionExtraction makes the coffee taste more balanced.Again, this method applies to all roasted coffee beans, so the choice of coffee beans can be freely selected according to our own taste preferences. Friends who like floral and fruity acidity can choose light roasted coffee beans, such as the Front Street Esai·Oiran in the Front Street bean list, or the Front Street Divide Manor·Xijiao, Front StreetPoquetWashed Geisha;If you like a mellow taste, you can choose dark roasted coffee beans, such as the Front Street Sumatra Golden Mandheling in the Front Street bean list, or the Front Street Brazilian Queen's Manor ~ Well, without further ado, let Front Street share how to operate this brewing plan!Then the coffee beans used in brewing Front Street this time are the Front Street Jade Manor·Washed Diamond Mountain in the Front Street bean list. The brewing parameters are as follows:Amount of powder used: 15gPink to water ratio: 1:16Grinding degree: 90% sieving rate of No. 20 mesh, fine sugar grinding(relatively thin)Brewing water temperature: 94°CUse filter cup: Origami(origami filter cup)The total amount of water to be injected is 240ml. Because we need to split it into two equal parts for injection, the amount of water allocated to each part is 120ml.So first, we inject the first 120ml of hot water! Use moderate water flow, starting from the middle, and then slowly making a circle from the inside to the outside.After reaching the outer circle, we continue to inject in large circles until the target amount of water is completely injected. In about 50 seconds, all the hot water in the filter cup will seep out, leaving a deep pit. When the time reaches 1 minute, we can start the second stage of water injection.The amount of water injected in the second stage is also 120ml. This time, it is also injected from the middle, then in a large circle, and finally keeps injecting water in a large circle until the target amount of water is injected.At about 1 minute and 20 seconds, we will finish filling the target amount of water, and then at about 2 and a half minutes, the coffee liquid in the filter cup will be dripped. Then at this time we can remove the filter cup and end the extraction. Next it’s tasting time!As Front Street introduced before, the coffee brewed in this way does have good performance, and the advantages and characteristics of Front Street's washed Diamond Mountain are well demonstrated. As soon as you take your mouth, you can taste the elegant floral aroma, the sour and sweet citrus, and the refreshing green tea. Then the taste is balanced and the taste is light. Overall, it is very comfortable to drink without any burden~So interested friends may wish to try it, it is quite simple to operate. However, it should be noted that since such a water injection method will not have a high extraction efficiency, the grinding can be boldly finer and the water temperature can be boldly high to avoid insufficient extraction~
