Seven factors affecting hand-brewed coffee

Hand rush into the door, newcomers contact, but also the first consideration is the equipment. On the contrary, coffee beans actually bought some utensils before they began to feel a little bit.

So let's first talk about the selection and purchase of appliances.

The instruments used for hand flushing include: 1. Bean grinder 2. Filter cup and filter paper 3. Hand flush pot 4. Thermometer and electronic scale

one。 Bean grinder

To produce a cup of single product, the first thing to consider should be beans, but today I won't talk about beans, let's assume that you have a good bean (good planting treatment, excellent baking, etc.).

The grinding of coffee became the first thing to do.

Brother Bird said, without a good grinder, you are wasting your beans. The choice of bean mill is hand mill and electric mill, and the first step is to recommend hand mill (in fact, I prefer hand mill, which has many advantages, such as easy to carry and easy to use. A good hand mill is no worse than a jagged electric mill. )

This hario 2TB is recommended for entry (the price is about 200RMB)

For ordinary people, the feel of this 2tb is quite good, my personal experience is very good, thick and wear-resistant.

Ceramic grinding core can prevent the adsorption of static electricity, and the trouble of silver skin can be solved very clean.

In addition to Yega Xuefei, a hard bean, it is quite labor-saving to grind (and very suitable for girls).

(I personally suggest that you spin to the tightest first, try to loosen a seven or eight grind, or you still need to adjust it yourself.)

Hario MSCS-2TB

The size of Hairo 2TB is still a little too big, and some people force it to be extremely scary, so well, we can only move out the previous generation 1B, not to mention, the picture above.

1B is the previous generation of 2tb, which is also a ceramic core, but the pot has become plastic and should be made of hard grease.

His figure and weight are more than refreshing compared to the 2TB. Easier to carry than a bottle of Pepsi. The amount of grinding is also relatively reduced, and it is no problem for one or two people.

Hario 1B (the price is about 120RMB).

Choose what you like and what suits you. The usage is a little different from that of 2tb. And it's worth saying that 1b has red to choose from.

Of course, there are a lot of bean grinders that look antique and have a strong look.

In fact, you can only put it up as a decoration after a few days of buying it. Hario has several luxurious hand mills, each has its own characteristics, and its functions are not very prominent. I have no objection to children with a lot of money to buy them.

In addition, the brand hero sounds very similar to hario, but the workmanship and quality of our own factories are still very mediocre, especially glass products. (it is not that we do not support domestic production.) Taiwan has a brand of Tiamo whose workmanship is better, and it is a good choice for domestic production.

In addition, Taiwan's sloshing A12 is also an option.

He is a wooden pot.

All right, the beginner's mill will recommend one first. No matter whether you buy an electric bean grinder or not, it is also necessary to have a hand mill. You can use anything to go out.

Electric bean grinder recommends small flying eagle, the price seems to be between 400 and 500. You can modify a ghost tooth.

A little Fuji made in China is recommended for those with more money, the price is about 1200. Baidu can take a look at the evaluation video.

two。 Hand punch pot

The hand-brewing pot is the soul of brewing coffee, and key people have played with all kinds of pots over the years. If you don't say much, go to the picture first to distinguish.

This is a Hario VKB pot with a layer of body, often called clouds. Hario this kind of pot, the workmanship is very fine, conforms to the Japanese style, the thin mouth mouth is smooth and regular, simple and elegant (the price is about 220).

There are two capacity to choose from, this price of the pot is not recommended for good performance-price ratio, there are some domestic can also try, a variety of shapes and prices are also low, but do not bear to see!

Here's a look at this Kalita crane mouth enamel porcelain, which looks like an European-style telephone booth or mailbox.

(the price seems to be around RMB 250)

Let's compare another crane mouth.

Wavy pattern on the beak of a kettle with a wooden handle.

These two spouts are the same as the spout, but the handle of the former is easy to burn, but the color is really beautiful. This is what the key person is using now, and the solution is also very simple. You can insulate yourself by winding it with hemp rope. Although the latter is not as dazzling as the red one, it is still a craft with meticulous workmanship.

This is still kalita, he impressed me very much, because this pot has been used for many years in Uncle Dou's experience shop.

Kalita's bronze palace pot

Kalita candy tricolor fine mouth, rubber bottom wear-resistant

Almost all of the recommended hand pots are from Japan, and I really admire the Japanese craftsmanship.

Everyone's choice should be considered from the color, style, price and other aspects, and the author suggests that the capacity to buy small, each has a different capacity to choose from.

The use of the thin mouth pot and the crane mouth pot is not the same, and the feel has its own characteristics, which is really another charm of the hand flush.

three。 Filter cup

Next, four more common filter cups are recommended.

The first is hario's V60 series, which is ceramic, grease, glass and stainless steel.

In the afternoon. The key man's glass v60 was broken. )

Secondly, we recommend kalita's three-hole filter cup, there are two kinds, one is straight, the other is triangular distribution. The two kinds of flow rates are different, if you are interested, you can compare and have a look.

Of course, there are single-hole filter cups to choose from. The materials are also glass, stainless steel, grease and ceramics.

Finally, let's talk about the one-piece pot chemex, the classic wooden and glass handles, and a variety of body sizes to choose from.

I also have a chemex, which is beautifully designed and can not put it down.

Chemex coffee pot brand was born in 1941, invented by German scientist Dr. Peter Schlumbohm in the United States, has always been loved by coffee lovers and professionals around the world, including Charles Ray Eames and other designers, and has been collected as permanent exhibits by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and other museums in New York.

He is a chemical triangle flask and funnel combined together, the glass container is transparent and beautiful, the middle wooden handle and leather rope bring the warmth of the natural material, and the flavor of the brewed coffee will not decrease after reheating.

But filter paper is more expensive. 100 sheets a box, the price is 100 RMB

four。 Other Devic

Temperature is the key to the extraction of a cup of coffee. It can be said that if you master the temperature, you can master the release of flavor.

The pen-type thermometer is convenient and practical, and the response is more sensitive.

Secondly, the electronic scale for measurement is essential. The general accuracy is 0.1g.

Some people say that drinking a good cup of coffee starts with a good cup.

Choose ceramic, glass is better, glazed ceramic cup, coffee tastes clean and odor-free.

If you like to drink coffee, you must choose a good cup. Choosing a cup is no small matter, because it will have a bearing on your health.

When I met a friend, he said something that surprised me, "it's like eating McDonald's can only choose more or less dipping sauce." Yes, in fact, it is. We are always pursuing freedom so that everything can be decided by ourselves. A cup of 180ml is selected from so many manors in so many regions in the world, and then it is decided that a trusted baker will bake him and send him to you according to his own requirements. After that, you have to choose a way, siphon, v60, Kalita, chemex, or drip filter, and then the water temperature, 90 degrees? 88 degrees? Or is it calm and stable since 85? Even the extraction rate, content, concentration, etc., and finally choose a cup you like, if you have a choice, all this, just want to drink a cup of 180ml! Why not, "Hey, give me a cup of coffee" and then someone handed it over, that's what makes us different, another kind of freedom and fun!

What I recommend is the mainstream choice, there are many strange ways to play, how to choose, how to do, there should be friends to come, this is a kind of experience to enjoy.

--

Some of my friends have asked me a few questions. I would like to answer my views here. Some people may have the same doubts.

"is there any difference in other properties between 1.2TB and 1B except for quantity, such as the quality of grinding?

two。 Can the thickness of the grinding be adjusted or is it fixed?

3. Which of the pots is better to control the flow, not to mention all of them are equally difficult to control? "

For the first question. 2tb and 1b author (key person) have used it, tell me about my experience, 1b feeling is not thick enough, the bottom of the grinding hand grip is good, but clamped on the thigh or pressed against the stomach will be very uncomfortable, and the hand force is very strong. 2tb will not, the gourd-shaped design allows him to clip between the thighs can be well fixed, the bottom glass pot arc design and cushion is also very powerful. But it's just the problem of carrying, otherwise I suggest buying 2tb. It is strong and durable, but the ceramic mill should not be idled.

The second question I have said before, it can be adjusted, and I give strong advice. "I personally suggest that you first spin to the tightest, and then loosen the six bars, so that it will be close to the second grinding of Mr. Sun Chao that day." the grid is a gear mouth.

The third problem is that the hand punch is not only used to control the flow of water, but also a work of art. The painstaking efforts spent on the design and production of many Japanese brands make it a worthy work of art. For beginners, I suggest a thin-mouthed pot, such as hario VKB, which I think is very suitable for entry and can be burned directly on an induction cooker (of course I wouldn't burn it directly). Like the author now uses is the red crane mouth pot, enamel porcelain, really beautiful, but the control is very fastidious, but also need to wrap a thread on the handle, do not burn the hand and affect the stability of the hand. I have been using the crane mouth for a period of time, and then using hario VKB, I will not be used to it. I need to adjust it several times, so I think there is a difference between the two.

If the price is tangled with the place of purchase, you can ask me. I will give some recommendations and I will add them later.

There is also the effect of water quality on coffee, which is also worth writing. Be sure to write next time you have a chance.
