Frequently asked questions
手沖咖啡應該用咩磨豆粗幼度？ What grind size should I use for hand‑drip coffee?
手沖咖啡建議使用 中度研磨（粗砂狀），呢個粗幼度可以令咖啡萃取更均衡，避免過度萃取帶來苦澀，或者太粗導致味道淡薄。根據濾杯種類（例如 V60、Kalita Wave）同個人口味，可以稍作調整。 For brewing hand‑drip coffee beans, a medium grind size (similar to coarse sand) is ideal. This grind ensures balanced extraction, preventing bitterness from over‑extraction or weak flavor from under‑extraction. Adjust slightly depending on your dripper type (e.g., V60, Kalita Wave) and taste preference.
咖啡豆應該點樣保存先保持香味？ How should I store hand‑drip coffee beans to keep them fresh?
咖啡豆要放喺 密封容器，避免光線、熱力同濕氣。常溫保存最合適，唔好放雪櫃或冰格，因為會影響香氣同風味。建議每次沖煮前先磨豆，確保手沖咖啡嘅香味同層次。 Store hand‑drip coffee beans in an airtight container, away from light, heat, and moisture. Room temperature is best — avoid refrigerators or freezers, as they can damage aroma and flavor. Grind beans only right before brewing to maximize freshness and preserve the complex flavors of hand‑drip coffee.
咖啡豆新鮮度可以維持幾耐？ How long do hand‑drip coffee beans stay fresh after roasting?
整粒咖啡豆喺 烘焙後2至4星期 內最理想，味道同香氣最突出。之後新鮮度會逐漸下降，手沖咖啡尤其需要新鮮豆，建議細批購買，盡快使用，確保最佳口感。 Whole hand‑drip coffee beans are freshest within 2–4 weeks after roasting, when aroma and flavor are at their peak. After that, freshness gradually declines. Since hand‑drip brewing highlights subtle flavors, buy smaller batches and use them promptly to enjoy the best taste experience.
