Process flow chart of coffee making-Starbucks coffee making process

In the 17th and 18th centuries, coffee in Europe was boiled with powdered coffee and granulated sugar, with Turkish coffee as the mainstream. The problem is that the coffee powder stays in the mouth, feels weird and tastes very bad. In order to improve the situation, we came up with a way to filter the coffee with a cloth before drinking it. Later, there was hand-brewed coffee, which was first put in the filter and then injected with water to extract. At that time, the commonly used paper filter cup was not invented at that time, so hand-brewed coffee was filtered with a cloth called "flannel". This method of extraction can also be regarded as the origin of flannel filter cloth. After the 18th century, filter cloth hand-brewed coffee became a popular trend in Europe. British, American and other English-speaking countries directly borrowed the name of flannel cloth and called it "Flannel drip (flannel hand-brewed coffee)", while the Japanese took the last syllable, referred to as "Nel drip".

Turkish coffee, made with coffee powder and sugar and water, became mainstream in the 17th and 18th century.

Consistency emperor

Flannel filter cloth hand-brewed coffee is rated as the thickest among hand-brewed coffee, mainly because the filter paper is the main filter, coffee oil and other coffee ingredients (insoluble solids) will be filtered out by filter paper, but because of the unique fiber structure of filter cloth, instead, it can pass easily. Therefore, the coffee with filter paper tastes clean, but a little thin; on the contrary, the coffee with filter cloth is thick and smooth. Therefore, the front of hand-brewed coffee in flannel filter cloth is crowned with gorgeous adjectives such as "King of consistency" and "King of hand-made Coffee".

Flannel filter cloth with full personality to make coffee by hand

Different from other hand-brewing coffee utensils, flannel filter cloth can expand freely in it because of its telescopic property. Therefore, the taste of coffee varies with the initial steaming and hand-brewing methods. For example, when steaming, shake the filter rack to draw a circle, let the water spread evenly into the coffee powder layer, and then use the drip filtration method to extract the coffee when injecting water. There is also a way to shake the filter frame by drawing a circle instead of moving the small kettle during water injection. Hand-brewed coffee, which is proud of such a variety of extraction and is also the most distinctive flannel filter, has been widely used in Japan, but in other countries, it is difficult to see because of the trouble of keeping it.
