[reprint] making coffee at home: making siphon pot coffee
Recently, some friends have been asking me, it seems that I have been using siphon recently. Indeed, recently I have become obsessed with the taste of siphon, and more and more friends have begun to ask me how to use siphon to make coffee.
Tools used in making siphon pot coffee
The coffee made by the siphon pot tastes more mellow, because a large amount of coffee oil is dissolved in the coffee liquid, so the coffee made by the siphon pot is more mellow and more fragrant.
What most friends have is the so-called three-person siphon pot, not to mention whether it is made by three people, but when you make it, you need to add water to the load of your pot as much as possible, so as to give full play to the potential of your pot. Too much, too little may affect the product. In fact, for three people, the final amount of coffee is a little more than 300 milliliters, which is exactly one and a half for me.) Usually I am used to adding boiled water directly to the pot to reduce the reheating time, of course, you can also add cold water directly.
Install the filter, hook the lower hook of the filter, do not underestimate this bead chain, it is useful.
Put on the upper pot and begin to heat the lower pot. Don't be afraid. Just leave it like this. The upper pot won't fall off.
At this time, you will know the use of the small bead chain mentioned above. This is a "signal light". When you see bubbles floating along the bead chain, it is a signal that you can cover the pot. Note, I said it can be covered, not must be covered, you can delay a little longer, so that the temperature of the pot will be higher, of course, when you should cover your pot, it depends on your experience.
As it is heated, all the water from the lower pot rushes into the upper pot.
The temperature of the pot is about 84-92 degrees (depending on when you cover the pot), try to keep the water in the pot at about 85 degrees, and then add coffee powder.
Special hint: the grinding fineness of coffee powder used in siphon pot is similar to that of hand pulping, that is, the particle size of coarse sugar, or slightly fine, reference grinding fineness, small flying eagle bean grinder, reference value is 3.5)
After adding the coffee powder, you need to stir it. When the coffee powder is fully soaked, it will form a thick layer of oil, just like a lid, covering the coffee in the pot, resulting in a possible rise in water temperature. Keep stirring, you can open this "lid" and keep the temperature in the desired range. As you stir, you can clearly find that the original thick grease layer becomes thinner and thinner, and the fat dissolves in the coffee, making the coffee more mellow. As for how long the coffee will be brewed in the pot, this is another empirical value, depending on your judgment of beans, water temperature, and then decisively stop brewing process, usually between 1 minute and more than 2 minutes.
When you want to stop brewing, remove the heat source, and then use a cold wet cloth prepared in advance, wrap the wet cloth around the interface between the upper and lower pots, lower the temperature of the lower pot, and quickly siphon the coffee back into the lower pot.
All the coffee flowed into the pot.
Next, you can quietly enjoy the sweetness of siphon.
In fact, the above description is only about how to use a siphon pot, but how to make a siphon pot of coffee, you still need to slowly explore and find a way to make coffee that suits your own taste. Maybe this is the charm of coffee, different people, different practices, the same coffee can show a different taste.

About "Fair Trade Coffee"
Fair Trade (Fairtrade) coffee has become a familiar sight in British supermarkets and cafes. Its motives are laudable because it guarantees a minimum price for coffee growers, and it would be ruthless if anyone objected to giving them a better price. In 2007, coffee with the Fairtrade logo sold £117 million in the UK. Last November, Starbucks (
