Everyone has their habits and passions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If one of the things you love most in the world is coffee, you are in the right place. Today we will reveal one of the secrets to making a really good espresso: <\/span>what coffee pre-brewing is and what it is used for.<\/b>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We at <\/span>Pontevecchio<\/b> have been <\/span>manufacturers of manual coffee machines<\/b> for almost 50 years, so we know well that <\/strong>to extract an excellent coffee<\/strong> <\/a>you need to take a lot of small precautions. Our mission is to allow everyone to savor <\/span>the taste of coffee<\/b> in all its nuances. We do this through the choice of materials and the care with which we make our equipment.<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in addition to the choice of the coffee machine, you need to know <\/span>how to make an espresso for true connoisseurs.<\/b>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The selection of the <\/span>coffee<\/b> blend<\/b> is essential, as is the correct storage. But not even a small step should be overlooked in the <\/span>percolation<\/b> process.<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The machine must be set according to precise parameters and the <\/span>grinding<\/b> must take place immediately before extracting the coffee.<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are preliminary operations that are part of a sort of ritual. Only in this way can the coffee be creamy at the right point, have a perfect aroma without hints of burning or a bitter taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the <\/span>fundamental steps for quality coffee is pre-infusion,<\/b> a process that frees the coffee beans<\/strong><\/a> from <\/span>carbon dioxide<\/b> to make room for water.<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s see what it is and how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is pre-brewing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"pre-brewing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pre-brewing <\/b>is a process that takes place just before the coffee is brewed. <\/span>It is used to increase the moment of contact between water and coffee powder.<\/b>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a very delicate step and it is important to eliminate carbon dioxide from the coffee cells. This is to facilitate the passage of water and maintain the purity of the coffee.<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-brewing coffee can be done with a <\/span>professional coffee machine <\/b><\/a>and it is a secret that only the most experienced baristas know.<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To activate the process, you need to know <\/span>how to adjust the coffee machine<\/b>. Just move the lever a little, giving a very small pressure. Then you have to wait a few seconds before proceeding with the actual extraction. For <\/span>percolation<\/b>, the lever must be brought to the end of its stroke, while for <\/span>pre-infusion<\/b> it moves only slightly.<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are wondering <\/span>how long the pre-brewing should last<\/b>, there is no precise rule. The <\/span>pre-brewing time<\/b> is a parameter that varies according to the type of drink to be prepared.<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an espresso coffee<\/strong><\/a>, you can give a pre-infusion ranging from 3 to 5 seconds. While in more elaborate coffees such as <\/span>filter coffees<\/span><\/i>, the pre-brewing time can range from 30 to 40 seconds.<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of the variables you need to take into account when deciding<\/span> the duration of pre-brewing <\/b>are the time that has elapsed since roasting and the type of blend you use. These factors determine the amount of <\/span>CO2<\/b> present in the coffee beans.<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it is important not to underestimate the pre-infusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"pre-brewing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pre-brewing is a fundamental process for having <\/span>a coffee of the highest quality<\/b>. Thanks to this step it is possible to obtain an aromatic, healthy drink that best expresses the characteristics of the beans.<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its function is to release the carbon dioxide present inside the cells. CO2 must be eliminated to facilitate the passage of water inside the powder.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water is the solvent that activates the percolation process. Its transit inside the cells that form the coffee powder serves to dissolve the characteristic elements of coffee.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way you get the quality and flavorful coffee you love to enjoy at any time of the day.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This way you get the quality and flavorful coffee you love to enjoy at any time of the day.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to choose <\/span>a quality blend<\/b>, make sure that it is stored correctly, pay attention to when <\/span>grinding<\/b> and evaluate when the beans have been roasted, set the coffee machine<\/strong> correctly.<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the fundamental steps is pre-infusion<\/strong>, the process used <\/span>to extend the contact time between water and ground coffee<\/b>. Its function is to eliminate the CO2 present in the coffee cells<\/strong> and make room for the water so that it captures all the particles. It must be performed before the actual extraction, by moving the lever a little, to have a coffee rich in aroma.<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No rule establishes<\/span> the duration of the pre-infusion.<\/b> It is a parameter that varies according to tastes, the type of drink to be extracted, and the characteristics of the powder used.<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
