This thing that looks like an enlarged syringe can make coffee that tastes clean and mellow? And super fast and easy?

If you also like to make your own coffee, then in addition to the follicular hand brew, French press, mocha pot, you may not know the "AloPress AeroPress", which has received more than 5,000 reviews on the shopping site Amazon, with an average of 4.5 stars. And not only the average consumer, it is also the heart of many professional baristas, and even holds the annual World Philharmonic Pressure Competition WAC for this purpose, perhaps it will become your favorite brewing appliance.

Where does music pressure come from?

In 2005, Alan Adler, an engineer, physicist and Stanford lecturer, found himself impatient with a cumbersome plug-in coffee maker and didn't even want to spend four minutes making coffee by hand. So he designed this strange device, which can make delicious coffee quickly, and because it has a filter paper, it can filter excess impurities and make clean coffee. And it doesn't precipitate mud or produce bitter flavors like a French press cup. So he decided to officially mass-produce, but also successfully in coffee lovers caused popularity. Now some coffee shops in Taiwan and the Internet can also be found!

Principle and Structure of Philharmonic Pressure

Ailepressure combines French press infusion extraction, filter paper filtration of hand-brewed coffee and Italian pressure extraction. After mixing coffee powder with hot water, air is squeezed by a pressure cylinder to extract clean coffee flavor through the filter cover. If you use more refined coffee powder and reduce the amount of water, you can also make a good espresso!

The structure can be simply decomposed into three parts: body, filter lid and piston cylinder. It needs to be used with filter paper or metal filter screen. In addition, it will also be attached with funnel, measuring spoon and stirring rod for convenient operation.

6 reasons you will love the music.

1. First of all, compared to other brewing methods, the music pressure is much more approachable. Unlike a French press, it's best to use a serrated grinder to avoid uneven thickness affecting the taste; nor does it take practice to make coffee by hand, you don't need any special skills, just pour and press!

2. It is not expensive at all, the whole set of Philharmonic pressure plus a year of filter paper, about NT$1,000 can be bought. There is also a special metal filter to replace the filter paper, the pore is larger, so it will not completely isolate the coffee grounds, but the fine residue will produce a richer flavor, but also can save costs and take into account environmental protection.

3. Light weight and durable, plastic material is not afraid of breaking, is a good choice for travel.

4. The brewing process is very fast. It doesn't take much time to soak or pour water slowly. The author says he can brew a cup of coffee in about 60 seconds as soon as the water boils.

5. Aile pressure can make coffee with excellent flavor, clear and clean flavor. If you're interested in tasting the interesting flavor differences between individual coffees, Ale Press is great for bringing out the flavor of coffee.

6. And finally, and crucially, it's cleaned in an incredibly simple way. If it's a French press, you have to dig out the coffee grounds and then clean the residue. If you want to press, just turn the filter cover to remove the complete coffee cake like a powder cake, and then simply rinse it!

Is there a downside to the pressure? Yes, it can only make one or two cups of coffee at a time, so it's not very suitable for brewing large groups of people. Of course, its appearance is not attractive, but this plastic tube like a medical device can have a strange charm!

Essential knowledge of using Philharmonic pressure

As mentioned above, the operation of Philharmonic Pressure is simple to no good, but as long as it is coffee, there are always some things to pay attention to.

In short, as with any other coffee, you still need to pay attention to the water temperature, boiling water will make coffee bitter, so you must use hot water instead of boiling water. To reach the right temperature, you can boil water and let it sit for about a minute before using it. To be more precise, I recommend 90 degrees, while the Philharmonic Press official recommends 80 degrees.

Also, you need to use freshly roasted, high-quality coffee beans, even if you use a cheap bladed grinder. Grind to a medium size similar to that of hand-brewed coffee, roughly between the fine grind of espresso and the coarse grind of French press. You can refer to GOAT CAFE's teaching: "If it is difficult to press down, it means that the coffee powder scale is too fine; if it is too easy and fast, it means that the scale is too thick, and appropriate adjustments can be made."

Here's to the finale! Music pressure brewing teaching

Philharmonic pressure brewing is divided into general straight legislation and reverse inversion method two kinds, this article will explain the first way, inversion method can refer to GOAT CAFE clear teaching, and its vertical method also has some differences, may wish to try more.

The Vertical Brewing Method can make about 1-2 cups of coffee

material

Water, quality coffee beans

appliance

General Electric kettle

Philharmonic pressure (including measuring spoon, funnel and stirring rod)

grinder dosers

Mug or small pull flower steel cup

Timer (optional)

brewing step

1. Boiling water: Let it stand for one minute after boiling, the water temperature is about 80-90 degrees.

2. Grind coffee beans: Measure two tablespoons of coffee beans (about four tablespoons) and grind to medium.

3. Wet filter paper: Spread filter paper on the filter lid, close the lid, place it on a mug, and gently pour some warm water to wet it.

4. Pour in coffee powder: Place the funnel on the pot body and pour in coffee powder to avoid residue sticking to the edge.

5. Pour in hot water: until marked on the body.

6. To stir quickly and slightly.

7. Pressurization: Insert the piston cylinder into the pot body and press it down at the same speed for about 10-20 seconds. Remember to keep the desktop stable and not skewed to avoid uneven extraction when pressing down. The container below can be made of metal and other materials with higher pressure resistance, which is safer.

8. Dilution after concentration test: If you feel too concentrated, you can add appropriate amount of hot water.

In fact, in addition to the various benefits described in the article, the editor feels that the love press can also take into account environmental protection, because its filter paper is much smaller than that of hand-brewed coffee, and if it uses a metal filter, it is not wasted!

Finally, it's exciting to see how easy and fast it is to brew pure coffee. However, French press also has its own unique rich taste, some people also particularly like the taste of coffee grounds; and how to improve the technology of hand-brewed coffee, is the common goal of many coffee lovers; in addition, there are even domestic espresso machines on the market. That is to say, there are no advantages and disadvantages of various coffee appliances, each flavor has its own characteristics, personal preferences are not the same, perhaps you should try, according to mood and needs can always choose your own coffee time.
