Pressure
Brewed Coffee
|
 |
What is
Pressure Brewed Coffee:
It is regular black coffee brewed under
High Pressure.
It is brewed similarly like an espresso. |
Pressure
Brew Aroma System:
Use a regular espresso machine.
Use a medium to light roast coffee blend
(may add some robusta).
Grind coffee medium to fine.
Brew 6 oz. of coffee into a cup. |
How does
Pressure Brewed Coffee Look Like:
If brewed right, it is crowned with a gold colored
froth, also referred to as crèma, preserving the full aroma of the freshly brewed coffee. |
|
Pressure Brew Aroma System: |
|
Hot water is forced through the grounds under high
pressure, resulting in extremely short extraction time (contact time between the water and
the grounds).
If the extraction is kept under 20 seconds, following benefits result from Pressure
Brewing:
|
|
Benefits of
Pressure Brewing: |
Because of the short extraction time, the
extraction of unwanted substances such as caffeine and tannin is reduced! |
|
|
|
Caffeine: |
Up to 30% less
caffeine compared to regular filter coffee. |
| Aroma: |
100% aroma is
extracted providing the unmistakable aroma of freshly brewed coffee. |
| Tannic
Acid: |
Almost no Tannic Acid
(Tannin), enabling people with sensitive stomachs to enjoy their coffee again. |
| Color: |
Color is extracted at
the beginning and starts fading after a few seconds. |
 |
Ensure that the extraction is kept under 20 seconds.
If the extraction is too long the coffee will turn bitter,
also referred to as over extracted. |
|
Reasons for
over-extraction: |
| Grounds too fine. Use a courser ground to reduce the
extraction time.
|
| Brewing pressure too low. Get your machine checked out.
|
| Cup size too large. Use maximum 6 oz. cups.
|
|
|
By the way: |
Understanding the above
extraction curves, after 20 seconds the espresso machine can be turned off and hot water
can be added to the cup without sacrificing the quality of the coffee! This is how Caffe
Americano is made, except a dark espresso roast is being used. |
|
a commercial espresso machine
with Water By-Pass capabilities is required
to prevent over-extraction!
