7 key points, choose Select Coffee Pot for hand flushing pot

The most fascinating thing about hand-brewing coffee, in addition to the sensory enjoyment of taste, is to appreciate the elegant, persistent and professional display of the staff holding the pot in their hands. Therefore, how to choose a suitable hand punch pot is particularly important. If you want to do good work, you must first "manage" its tools. Therefore, before buying a hand-flushing pot, you should not only measure your own ability and needs, but also understand the structure of various instruments, that is, the characteristics of each hand-flushing pot, so that it is easy to find a sharp weapon that suits you. The following is to share my seven-point experience in making pots for your reference:

1. Choose your favorite color and be happy to hold it in your hand. The common primary metal colors are stainless steel, copper, or baking paint or enamel, which makes the color more selective.

two。 After the hot water is loaded into the hand flushing pot, it needs to be heated if the water temperature is not enough. The commonly used heat sources are induction cookers and gas stoves, but each pot is of different material, so it is recommended to read the instructions carefully before buying.

3. Material thickness, characteristics > > this will affect the thermal insulation and thermal conductivity of the hand-punching pot. The thicker the material is, the better the thermal insulation is, the better the thermal conductivity is, and the faster the heat dissipation is, but the average temperature speed between the body and neck of the pot will be better.

4. The kettle body > hand punch pots are mostly narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the ratio of width to width will directly affect the water pressure and stability.

5. The neck of the kettle bends > every time the water goes through a turning point, it will reduce the impulse of water injection and make the flow more supple. The body and neck of the kettle often match with each other, such as the KALITA thin stainless steel kettle (700ml) in the picture below. The kettle body is tall and thin, so the kettle neck is designed for nearly 90 degrees double bending, while another KALITA palace fine mouth kettle (900ml) is designed to bend relatively slowly because the kettle body is chubby.

6. The inner diameter of the spout is divided into thin mouth and wide mouth, which will affect the water flow, stability and impulse.

7. The spout cut is divided into flat cut type and crane mouth type.

According to the experience of using 6 and 7, the following is explained and sorted by the degree of difficulty:

★ thin-mouth pots are all flat-cut type, and the flow is easy to control, so they are more suitable for beginners to choose, but they also limit the change of water injection methods, such as: KALITA thin-mouth stainless steel pot (700ml, refer to this book p. 22).

☆ crane mouth type flow is easy to control, water injection methods can be changed, but still need to control the practice, for example: moon rabbit printing hand pot (700ml, refer to this book p. 24).

★ wide-mouth flat-cut water flow is large and smooth, while small flow requires more practice, which is more difficult for beginners to control, such as the moon rabbit printing Noda enamel hand flushing pot (see p. 42 of this book).

☆ crane mouth wide mouth type flow is large and concentrated, so it is suitable for large water flow flushing method. For example: KALITA big-billed birdhand flushing pot.

The 1-7 mentioned above all affect the convenience and extensibility of each hand punch, so I add the characteristics of the hand punch to "DATA" in part of this book, especially the angle of water injection. Just like some hand pots can be used for drip water injection, others are limited to the flushing and stirring of small currents, some are limited to the softness and bubbles of large water flows, and some hand pots can easily control the water even with high elevation, which beginners can control quickly.
