For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Individual coffee is becoming more and more popular in the market, and the utensils for making single coffee are also dazzling, among which hand pots emerge one after another. For baristas who have just entered the coffee industry or "tasters" who like to drink coffee, they may be dazzled to see all kinds of hand pots on the market. now let's find out what's different about so many hand pots.

There are many brands of hand-brewing coffee utensils, such as Kalita,Kona,Hario,Tiamo,Yami,Bonavita and so on, each brand has its own characteristics, and some brands also produce various types of hand-brewing pots, we first understand the hand-brewing pots from the shape of the spout.

It is generally recommended that beginners start with a small-mouth pot and use a small-mouth pot with an inner diameter below 5mm. The water flow is easy to control, and there will not be too much water flow, which can * * improve the success rate of brewing, so that enthusiasts can flush out a good cup in a shorter time. Flat-mouth pots and crane-mouth pots have higher requirements for water flow control, but the corresponding degree of freedom will also be high, which belongs to advanced appliances.

Hand pots are also classified in terms of materials, which are mainly related to heat preservation, appearance and texture, and whether they are hot or not. Enamel porcelain and copper hot hands are famous, so if you buy these two materials, it is recommended to wrap hemp thread around the handle, so as to enhance the feel and not be hot. In addition, the appearance and texture of different opinions, after all, each has its own style.

As far as personal experience is concerned, as soon as you get started, you may not have to consider only the thin-mouthed pots with an inner diameter below 5mm. The general fine-mouthed pots, court pots, and pointed-nosed crane-billed pots only need a little practice, which is not as difficult as I said. Don't be scared.

Unless you want to show the flavor of some specific techniques, such as a stable fine water column, you may really have to use a pot like POT900, but generally you don't often do this special performance, which belongs to the player, and it is enough for beginners to master uniform extraction.

The thin-mouth pot can also achieve the coffee flavor like the wide-mouth pot by adjusting the water injection height, water volume, temperature, and so on. As long as you practice more and make it several times, it will not be a problem.

A hand flushing pot is just a container for holding and pouring water. the so-called design is nothing more than the difference in heat preservation, capacity, and the shape and size of the outlet, understand the significance of extraction, adjust the rhythm of water injection, correct the technique, and practice the basic skills. pay attention to the changes in water temperature, thickness, time and water ratio, large teapots can make good coffee.

Barista's experience: the neck of the Kalita1L does not rise smoothly, but gradually converges as a triangular streamline from the kettle body to the tip of the mouth, increasing the arc, thus limiting the flow rate of the effluent. The intensity of water injection is much softer than the heroic appearance.

Apart from individual extreme hand pots with relatively large spouts, there are probably only a few kinds of pots on the market:

1. Small spout pot (inner diameter 4~5mm), representative: KalitaPOT900 copper kettle, because the spout is thin and long, no matter how the hand shakes or pours the kettle, the flow can be fine and stable, but it also leads to a strong impact force when increasing the amount of water.

two。 Small spout pot (inner diameter above 6mm), representative: Bonavita constant temperature hand punch pot, Bonavita hand punch pot. British imported Strix temperature control system, accurate control of water temperature, positive and negative temperature difference of 1 degree Celsius, professional gooseneck design, more effective control of flow speed, flow and direction, the base with temperature regulation, heat preservation, memory function.

3. Flattened wide mouth spout, representative: enamel porcelain. The advantage is that the water flow of the large water column is flexible, and the thickness of the water flow is more controllable, but it is not easy to control the fine water column, and if the inclination is not well controlled, it is easy to make the water flow out.

4. Wide mouth type crane mouth pot, representative: Taguchi coffee protection master hand brewing pot. The intensity of water injection is much softer than the heroic appearance, and it is suitable to use the brewing way of slow infiltration.

5. Big beaked bird, representative: Kalita coffee enamel pot.

It feels like a sharp-mouthed crane-billed kettle, but can be injected into a larger water column. The characteristic is that the range of water injection is widely used, and different degrees of water output can be applied when brewing coffee powder of different sizes. However, if we want to control it improperly, it is easy to produce the phenomenon of unstable water thickness, and the users are required to have higher brewing skills.

The mouth of the enamel kettle is large, the neck of the kettle is thick and low, and the distance from the kettle body is relatively close, which can not well limit the flow rate of the effluent. If there is a little careless force in use, the water will pour out or cause the flow to stop. Compared with ordinary pots, it is more difficult to control water.

TAKAHIRO

TAKAHIRO is commonly known as cheating pot, the origin is Japan, the effluent is very stable, so even the novice can be as steady as cheating. Generally speaking, hand flushing techniques are divided into fast flushing and slow flushing, fast flushing is generally completed in 2 minutes, slow flushing is generally more than 3 minutes, and continuous and steady water injection and drip are divided into continuous and steady water injection and drip, whether it is steady or drip. all require high water control ability, and the new pot is more handy in controlling water flow, and even beginners are easy to control.

The hand-made pot, which is respected by many coffee professionals, makes me have to be the first to introduce him to you, not only because of its beauty, but also because it was well received as soon as it was launched. Its birth is also very simple, just because of the guest's sentence, "is there no finer hot water to make coffee?", so this ultra-fine-mouthed hand pot was born, unexpectedly elegant and noble, it is simply a sharp weapon of the dining table.

TAKAHIRO comes in many colors and textures, and the most famous is black scrub, because it is so hot that many sellers say it is out of stock in eight seasons of the year.
