Kinto Slow Coffee Style's four-person ceramic filter cup & filter paper was also the outfit of my slow living trip to the United States in 2015. previously, Hario's V60 ceramic filter cup was mainly used in Taiwan. V60 is popular all over the world with its groundbreaking single-hole tapered filter cup and its spiral cup pattern, which is a necessary filter item for almost all manual users. So when I saw this thick Kinto ceramic filter cup for the first time, I wondered what it took to compete with Kalita, Hario and other big brands in the coffee filter cup market.

KINTO SCS four-person ceramic filter cup & filter paper open the box

The appearance shows very beautiful Japanese manufacturing technology, warm and shiny texture, fall in love at first sight--

The appearance also has an observation point: the tilt angle of the cup body will affect the flow rate of hot water in the coffee powder.

Next, let's look at the key interior design! It is also the magic weapon of each filter cup! Different designs of the inner wall and cup bottom affect the flow speed and flow method, for example, the outlet speed is fast when the hole in the bottom of the cup is large, and vice versa; if the filter paper is too attached to the cup wall, the flow speed will slow down. Basically, the faster the flow rate is, the less the extraction time is, and the coffee flavor is lighter, while if the flow rate is too slow, the extraction time is long and the flavor is heavier, but if the hand flushing technology is not good, the extraction may be too bitter.

The KINTO ceramic filter cup is conical, with a large single-hole outlet hole at the bottom, and the cup wall has 16 water guide grooves that go straight to the end, thin on the top and thick on the bottom, coupled with the tilt angle of the cup body, the three together adjust the speed of water flow.

Compared to the spiral lines on the inner wall of the Hario V60, which emphasizes letting the water flow from top to bottom to soak all coffee powder like a whirlpool, such as Kinto filter cup, this laser radial straight line design is different from Hario's "Creating Turbulence", but advocates "Creating Culumn of Water" to let hot water run straight through all coffee powder from top to bottom like a laser, to the bottom of the cone.

The texture of the KINTO ceramic filter cup is so beautiful that the repeated photos at the bottom of the cup show that I don't know which one to delete.

The characteristics of KINTO ceramic filter cup are summarized as follows:

* made in Japan with high quality, the nobility and beauty of Kinto ceramic filter cup can be proved with the naked eye, and it is indeed higher than other brands of ceramic filter cup.

* thick cup wall, high thermal insulation effect, so there is no handle.

* the inner cup wall has 16 radiation ruled lines, the top is fine and the bottom is thick, which is the unique filter cup inner wall design of KINTO.

Start using

The key points of the expert skills of hand dripping filter coffee (including the SCAA guidelines of the American Golden Coffee Association, and the demonstration of Taiwan's hand champion, plus my own lazy man method), please refer to (click) here!

1. Treatment of filter paper

The sewing edge of the filter paper is folded first

Fold the filter paper in half again

Put the filter paper into the filter cup

First pour all the filter paper with boiling water

There is still a gap between the filter paper and the filter cup, which is beneficial to the thermal expansion of coffee, so that the air can flow out and the coffee powder will not be oversqueezed.

two。 Grind powder into filter cup

Is the use of American friends in the home of the Krups blade bean grinder, the particle size will be uneven. We can only make do with it--

Don't grind the powder too coarse. Medium to fine is better. Therefore, when grinding beans with Krups, you have to grind a little longer before you have more and finer powder.

After the coffee powder is poured into the filter paper, gently shake the filter cup with your hand and tap on the side of the filter cup to make the coffee powder surface flat.

3. Hot water hand flushing

Soak the surface of the coffee in hot water of about 90 degrees and heat it for 15 minutes.

Inject water slowly and evenly. Draw concentric circles from the center, and then draw from the outside to the center, using this path to inject water. As the design of filter paper and filter cup is fast, it is recommended that beginners use kettles with narrower spouts or thinner water columns to inject water.

The filter cup can be held by hand, and the ceramic thick cup wall has excellent thermal insulation, so you don't have to worry about hot hands. The outlet diameter of the single hole at the bottom of the cup is large, so it can be seen that the flow rate of coffee liquid is not too fast, but also slow, very uniform.

Observe the filter paper adhering to the wall, the gap between the water guide groove and the filter paper, in addition to conducive to the extraction of coffee, so that the wrinkled filter paper as a whole like a flower.

The results of the master of the original factory are as follows:

The pictures taken by the original factory show that the master can use the KINTO ceramic filter cup hand to flush out the towering coffee bubble effect, so it can be seen that the design of the inner cup wall does make the air run out easily and let the coffee powder expand as much as possible.

Purchase suggestion

1. It is recommended to buy four cups of filter cups, mainly because of the large elasticity of portions. Even if it is usually only for one person, a maximum of 20g of powder per person per day, four cups of filter cup space is enough for one-time continuous water injection practice. If you flush 40g for two at a time, there is not enough room for hot water for two cups.

two。 It is suggested that you can buy four cups and two cups of filter paper at the same time, and then decide which amount of filter paper to use according to the actual number of cups, so as to avoid waste.

3. KINTO SCS ceramic filter cup can be equipped with KINTO stainless steel filter. It is also recommended to buy a four-cup stainless steel filter, which has greater flexibility in practical use. Even with a two-cup ceramic filter cup, the four-cup filter will not leak out.

4. The ceramic filter cup can be placed directly on the mug. If you want to observe the color of coffee dripping to determine the extraction status, or to share the results with other coffee lovers, you can choose KINTO's glass pot, which has two choices: 300ml (two cups) and 600ml (four cups).
