A lazy afternoon with a cup of coffee is definitely a chic afternoon.

Recently, Zaocheng Community Early Spring Bakery brought an experience of making coffee by hand, which made residents feel a high-quality slow life.

This time, an old friend, Zhang Yibo, a social worker in charge of cultural and sports activities, will teach you how to make coffee. He used to sing Yue Opera because he was good at taking pictures, and all the residents in the community knew him.

In fact, he left a hand-before becoming a social worker, he worked as a full-time barista and once ran a coffee shop in Xiasha.

Residents joked that even social workers have become so foreign since Zaocheng community was rated as an international community.

A colleague who can make coffee is really happy.

Zhang Yi, 30, from Yuyao, Ningbo, is married and has a 4-year-old son.

Yesterday noon was the rest time for social workers, but Zhang Yibo was as busy as a bee. It turned out that several residents asked him for a coffee class. He said patiently: "There are two popular ways to drink freshly ground coffee: hand-brewed coffee and espresso, which is pressed out by coffee machine under high pressure;" Hand-brewed coffee, as its name implies, is coffee made by hand brewing coffee powder with boiling water and filtering. When drinking, the taste of Italian coffee is smoother than that of concentrated silk, while the taste of hand-brewed coffee is purer. "

One of the residents introduced himself. She is a resident of Dexin Chengcheng Community. She was busy at work and missed the community coffee experience. "I heard that social worker Xiao Zhang came to teach, so I took the time to ask today."

"When it comes to coffee, Xiao Zhang has a lot to say." His colleague joked. This colleague also secretly reported: "He also moved all his coffee making tools to the community. Usually there are activities in the community, or we have a rest at noon. We can often drink coffee brewed by him. I am really happy to have a colleague who can make coffee. "

"Then, come to the second floor and I'll make you some coffee." Zhang Yibo warmly invited his colleagues to "report". From the stairs to the easternmost activity room on the second floor, you can see his "baby" there. "This is a bean grinder, and the electronic scale beside it can weigh and time, so that I can easily measure the punching time. The other kettle has been with me for many years. I used it to participate in competitions before, although I didn't win the prize in the end. "

As he spoke, Zhang Yibo took out a bag of coffee beans, weighed it, ground it, poured it into a filter cup, and then kept drawing circles on it with hot water. The air is slowly filled with the smell of coffee. Pour it into a cup and taste it. Not only can you taste a kind of flower and fruit flavor, but you can also taste a faint sweet and sour feeling after bitterness. "This is the charm of handmade coffee, which makes you feel the taste of coffee itself." He said with a smile.

Start a business, open a coffee shop and fulfill my college dream.

Speaking of the origin of coffee, we should start from his college days. Zhang Yibo said that he studied materials science and engineering at Wenzhou University. In his junior year, he went to Taiwan Province Province as an exchange student. "Drinking coffee is very popular in Taiwan Province province. I also fell in love with coffee culture and wanted to open my own coffee shop. " After returning from Taiwan Province Province, he suffered from the lack of start-up funds, so he had to "do a little business" at home-he bought tools for making coffee online, not only hand-made pots, but also coffee machines for making espresso.

After graduating from college, Zhang Yibo successfully found a job in a state-owned enterprise in Hangzhou. But he never gave up his dream of a coffee shop. After saving two months' salary, he signed up for the training of barista. After successfully "coming out of the mountain", in order to hone his skills, he went to Costa for a part-time job. "People are going to make money, and I'm going to learn new tricks for making coffee." He said.

In 20 15 years, he finally saved enough money to start a business through his daily savings and the money earned by part-time jobs. Later, he left the company, opened a shop in Frederick and opened a coffee shop. "At that time, there was no place for students to spend, so my business here was not bad." However, the good times did not last long. In September of that year, Longhu Jinsha Tianjie opened, and then Baolong City Plaza also opened. Zhang Yibo's coffee shop business fell off, and finally he had to close down. "I didn't find the ideal store later, so I didn't open it again."

"Just at that time, Xiasha Street recruited social workers, and I signed up and was successfully admitted." Zhang Yibo said that now, after finishing his work during the day, he can go home to accompany his son and wife at night. "In the days when the cafe is coming to an end, I am calculating how much money I have lost every day. In fact, the pressure is quite great. " Looking back on those years now, Zhang Yibo said it was like having a beautiful dream. "I failed to do what I wanted, but I don't regret it at all."

This is my first attempt to make coffee. It is suggested that the buyer make a pot and feel it.

Now many people want to make a small fortune and make coffee at home. But what is tangled is whether to buy a high-end coffee machine in one step or buy a pot to make it yourself. Zhang Yibo's suggestion is to buy a pot and feel it first. "The hand-washing pot tastes pure, and the cost of investment is relatively small, which does not take up space."

Attached here is a tutorial on making coffee by hand. Interested readers can try it at home.

Preparation: coffee bean grinder (coffee powder can also be prepared directly), manual pot, filter cup, filter paper, shared pot, electronic scale, coffee cup and coffee beans.

Operating steps:

1. Weigh the beans and boil the water. Generally, the ratio of water to coffee beans is 1: 15, for example, 225ml of water, 15g of coffee beans. In addition, the best water temperature for hand-brewed coffee is 90 to 93 degrees Celsius. If there is no special thermometer, the water can be left for eight to ten minutes after boiling.

2, grinding beans. Grind coffee beans into coffee powder with a grinder. If coffee powder is used, this step can be ignored directly.

3, powder. First, pour hot water into the hand-made pot, wet the filter paper and heat the cup. Then pour the coffee powder on the filter paper. Don't fall on the side. Try to stay in the middle. After pouring, shake the filter cup and let the coffee powder spread evenly.

4, stuffy steaming hand rushed. Soak all the coffee powder in a thin, slow stream. Be careful not to fill it with water. Just wet the coffee powder and let it stand for 30 seconds.

5. enjoy it. Take off the filter cup, gently shake the coffee pot, so that the freshly dripped coffee can be fully blended and enjoyed while it is hot.
