How Beginners Can Learn to Make Coffee

With the further development of coffee culture, many coffee enthusiasts are trying to make their own coffee. However, they often don't know where to start learning. Today, we'll look at brewing methods to find the most suitable learning approach for beginners.

Immersion Brewing

First, let's understand the most original coffee brewing method—immersion brewing. Simply put, immersion brewing involves pouring water directly over coffee grounds and using the water's impact to stir the grounds, thereby extracting substances from the coffee. It requires relatively few tools: a coffee container, electric kettle, thermometer, and coffee scale are sufficient.

Drip Brewing

This method uses water flow to impact coffee grounds to create extraction. Most of the hand-pour coffee that friends see in coffee shops is made using the drip method. Its characteristic is that human intervention can adjust the extraction state of the coffee slurry.

Pressure Extraction

This method uses machine pressure to extract coffee grounds, allowing soluble substances within the grounds to be extracted as thoroughly as possible under 9 bar atmospheric pressure. Espresso machines on the market operate on this principle.

Among these three brewing methods, FrontStreet Coffee particularly recommends the first two for beginners. First, their cost is lower, and they better help beginners understand extraction theory—what happens during the contact between coffee and water. Additionally, through human intervention, one can observe what changes occur in the coffee slurry during extraction. Once you understand extraction theory, you've essentially mastered the fundamentals of coffee brewing.
