The coffee is bitter? So sour?

2023-02-06

When many people come into contact with coffee, bitterness means strongness, and strongness means fragrance. When encountering such customers, we will patiently explain what the flavors are. Strongness does not necessarily mean fragrance, and neither does bitterness. For coffee lovers, this flavor wheel is quite appropriate! When the coffee hits your mouth, you can feel its flavor.

In this regard, many coffee lovers, especially those who have just started to taste coffee, can start with Brazil, Mandheling, and Yirgacheffe, which have more prominent flavor and personality, and start to learn hand pouring.

The representative of Brazil is the flavor of the American production area; the representative of Mandheling is the flavor of the Asian production area; the flavor of the Yirgacheffe African production area;

Everyone hopes to drink good coffee, sweet and smooth, with explosive aroma and long aftertaste, and hope to drink such coffee every time.

There are many variables that affect the taste of coffee: time, temperature, brewing equipment, etc., but the most important key to brewing good coffee, in addition to good beans and good equipment, is the thickness of the grind.

The beans and utensils are all selected. Today, let`s talk about the grinding degree, how fine should the coffee beans be ground?

The best thickness of hand-brewed coffee powder is in the middle of the 3-4 scale, and fine sugar can be used as a reference:
When it comes to the fineness of grinding in many brewing, they often say "salt-like thickness" or "fine sand-like thickness"

When I saw these descriptors, I didn`t know the exact range. In fact, the most accurate is to grind a little bit by myself. For comparison, Mandheling is probably "thick as fine sand", and ice drops are like "thick as sugar". The light-baked Yega is a bit thicker than sugar.

The right thickness for a tastier coffee
The secret to good coffee is extraction, but what exactly does extraction mean? Extraction is the process by which the flavor and aroma substances of the coffee beans are released into the water to combine with the water, and the result is a delicious cup of coffee.

However, these flavor and aroma substances represent a certain flavor, some substances are sweet, some are bitter, some are fruity, and some are astringent. These substances are also extracted at different time points.

Medium fine powder ≈ white sugar (the most common white sugar in supermarkets, a little bigger than that). Generally, hand pouring will be fixed on the thickness of medium and fine powder in the end, because medium and fine powder is very commonly used, so if you love coffee, you should try your own Coffee Grinder more to find the most suitable level of medium and fine powder for you.
