Advantages and disadvantages of Kalita Wave wave cup coffee filter cup perfect use of cake cup

Just as every coffee filter cup has its own characteristics, Kalita filter cup features three small round dripping holes. Although Kalita also introduces a few filter cups that are not 3 holes. But generally speaking, three small leak holes are its characteristics, and this also affects one of the main characteristics of the Kalita filter cup: flow rate.

After our test, the flow rate of Kalita trapezoidal filter cup is about 1.7 times that of Hario V60 when there is only filter paper and empty water flow. In the case of powder filling (Ditting KR805 scale 6, water temperature 94 C), the flow rate of V60 is about 1.5 times that of Kalita, which can be regarded as medium and slow in the filter cup. What is the effect of slow flow rate?

Coffee is brewed. The word "brewing" reflects the two "cooking methods" when making coffee. A slow flow rate means that when brewing coffee, the effect of "brewing" is longer, so when all the elements are fixed and do not add special brewing methods, the quality of the coffee brewed each time will be closer, in other words, stable. Of course, the slow flow rate of the filter cup can also play some cooking factors, but this belongs to a more in-depth scope, there is a chance to share again.

Back to the point, let's introduce the filter cup of Kalita.

This time we introduce several Kalita filter cups, including various materials and shapes. First of all, in terms of materials, we have introduced three kinds of copper, stainless steel and ceramics, of which ceramics have the best thermal insulation, but more water is needed to preheat ceramic filter cups before use. in contrast, metal filter cups do not need to pre-pour too much hot water to heat up quickly, but relatively fast cooling. Does copper and stainless steel have any effect on the extracted coffee liquid? To be honest, when all the factors have been controlled, we think that even if there is, it is difficult to detect the subtle impact, but the visual effect is greater, and the copper filter cup is more pleasing in appearance.

In terms of shape, we introduce Kalita trapezoidal and round filter cups. The trapezoidal filter cup is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, and needs to be matched with trapezoidal filter paper. Although the circular filter cup is also narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, the bottom of the filter cup actually has a larger bottom area and needs to be matched with special wavy filter paper. With the same amount of coffee powder, the thickness of the powder bed of the trapezoidal filter cup is thicker than that of the circular filter cup, which directly affects the time for the water to pass through the coffee powder. And not only that, the disturbance caused by water injection will also be different, and other brewing factors will also be affected. this will be more complicated, and people who are interested in coffee will back down, so they still have a chance to talk more slowly.

In short, brewing coffee is often the same as doing scientific experiments, through the manipulation of equipment and factors to get different results. Some people will say that this will not be reduced to equipment control? But in fact, this is not the case, these experiences can give you a better understanding of how each link is interlinked, and even confirm some of your own ideas, so that you can have a more comprehensive understanding of coffee brewing.

Finally, share a short story. When asked which filter cup Tim Wendelboe likes to use, he replied "V60". "because I am an impatient person, I can't wait long, and the speed of the V60 is fast. "while many people are still worrying about which filter cup will bring out any unpleasant so-called" miscellaneous smell ", such a person who plays an important role in the coffee industry does not take these things into consideration at all. And his answer, which seems to be understated, actually has the intelligence of the enlightened person.
