How to make Coffee Decoction
The resulting liquid from straining Boiled Coffee Grounds is called the decoction. Here we show you the steps on making coffee decocotion with a stainless steel coffee filter:
The typical coffee filter consists of two chambers – the upper chamber and the lower chamber. The upper chamber is a perforated container, where the coffee powder added before adding water.
How to make Coffee Decoction
- Place the upper chamber over the lower chamber.
- Add 2-3 Tablespoons full of good quality ground coffee powder (Filter coffee – Not Instant) in the upper chamber.
- Cover the Coffee up with the perforated distributor, used to control the flow of water.
- Add Boiled water to the upper chamber almost to the brim. Cover with the lid. Allow the decoction to settle down in the lower chamber. It will take approximately 5 minutes for the entire filtrate to collect.
Ofcourse you can have your coffee black, no sugar.
TO MAKE FILTER COFFEE with Coffee Decoction
Pour one quarter of the decoction into a cup. Add milk and sugar. For lighter coffee, take three equal portions of milk, water and coffee decoction. Use Pre-boiled Milk and water. Foam it up by ‘Pulling’- Pouring into a cup or container from a high height.
How do I make coffee decoction without a machine
If you do not have a filtering pot, you can try this: Use ground coffee or grind your own coffee beans using a coffee grinder. Place filter paper (available at your supermarket near the coffee), shaped into a cone inside a COFFEE CONE OR funnel. Place the funnel over a coffee mug. add about 2 TBSP of ground coffee per mug and pour a little boiled water first. Wait till the ground coffee is completely dampened. Then pour the required amount and cover the funnel till the water drips through. I did this a long time ago when i didn’t have the perforated coffee filter.
