Pure dripping coffee in Vietnam method of using coffee pot in Vietnam

Drip coffee (Drip Coffee)

Part2

Drip coffee was very popular in France, Germany and the Netherlands in the 1940s because most manual coffee grinders were made locally. This method was introduced into Asia when the French occupied Vietnam, and Vietnam joined the local culture and evolved Vietnamese-style dripping coffee.

At the end of World War II, espresso machines slowly developed. At present, drip coffee has been replaced by the convenience and fast extraction of espresso machines.

Having said that, dripping coffee is still the way of brewing coffee chosen by most families or those who don't like instant coffee because it doesn't require too many complicated tools.

This article is excerpted from coffee Trapi magazine.

Recently, I began to use the American trickling filter (Siemens CG7232) to make my own coffee. At first, I felt very light. Then I checked various methods to try it again and again. More than half of the bags of coffee powder were put in. Here is my experience: the water must be cold water or warm water. @ DimLau said in the answer that adding 90 degrees of hot water is problematic. I tried to extract it with hot water heated by the water cooler, and it tasted terrible, bitter and astringent. In particular, that kind of acerbity is obviously a feeling of over-extraction. Be sure to use filter paper. Although the machine has its own filter, the effect of this filter is difficult to guarantee. Coffee without filter paper is not only light in color and taste, but also contains a certain amount of particles in the filtrate, which makes it taste very bad. It's no use putting in more coffee powder. This is also the conclusion of my own experiment. I even used the amount of one cup of water to extract four cups of coffee powder, and the results showed that the taste of the extracted coffee was not much different from that of the normal amount. If you put water and coffee powder in proportion, there will be no problem. It is true that the amount of one or two cups extracted will be a little lighter than five or six cups at a time. Finally, I think it must be painful to transfer from instant coffee to drip filter pot. On the one hand, the American pot is really light, and this is the characteristic of the machine, which cannot be improved by other methods; on the other hand, it is not used to drinking American coffee. if you don't add sugar or milk, it really tastes like traditional Chinese medicine.
