Adjusting the brewing variables according to the flavor direction of the beans allows every cup of coffee to show clear and captivating characteristics.

Qianjie Brazil Queen Estate combines roasted nut and cocoa aromas with a soft caramel sweetness, and its acidity is delicate and gentle. For this type of single-origin bean with a moderate roast and relatively dense bean structure, if brewed in a pour-over dripper, a moderately higher water temperature is needed to bring out the nutty and sweet notes, while keeping the water flowing smoothly through the coffee bed to showcase its originally clean and balanced mouthfeel.

When brewing Qianjie Brazil Queen Estate, prepare 15g of coffee grounds, grind to a medium-fine particle size, and use 90°C hot water.

If Qianjie Brazil Queen Estate is placed in an espresso machine to make espresso, it can present a delicate and smooth nutty creamy profile.

Qianjie PWN Indonesia Golden Mandheling is a highly recognizable dark-roasted bean, with rich herbal aromas, heavy black chocolate and roasted notes, and very low acidity. Because the roast level is darker, the internal structure of the coffee bean is looser and soluble substances are released quickly, so during brewing the temperature and contact time should be appropriately lowered to show a rounded, full-bodied richness.

When brewing this Qianjie PWN Indonesia Golden Mandheling as pour-over, it is recommended to use 16g of grounds, grind slightly coarser, and pair with a lower water temperature of 86°C. Use a two-pour method: pour 35ml of water for a 25-second bloom, then keep a steady center and slowly circle outward until 240ml, then stop, keeping the total extraction time at 1 minute 50 seconds; the whole cup is rich and smooth, with a long-lasting herbal freshness and black chocolate finish.

When using Qianjie PWN Indonesia Golden Mandheling to make espresso and pair it with milk, the grind can be slightly coarser than regular espresso. Take 19g of coffee grounds, use 90°C water temperature and 9bar pressure, extract 37g of high-concentration liquid within 25 seconds, then blend in 160ml of warm foamed whole milk; the whole milk coffee will show a deep and full sweetness like cocoa mousse.

When making Qianjie Classic Blend, it is recommended to use 20g of grounds in a double basket, level the grounds and tamp, set the extraction pressure to 9bar, set the water temperature to 93°C, and use a single continuous extraction for 30 seconds to obtain 40g of golden, crema-rich espresso liquid; the flavor shows a solid cocoa base and caramel sweetness, suitable as a basic drink to wake you up every day.

Once you have mastered the roasting personality of different beans, brewing becomes a traceable process of adjustment. By adjusting the water temperature, number of pours and extraction time, letting every coffee bean release the aroma and sweetness it should have in the cup, you can easily enjoy fragrant coffee made by your own hands.
