Coffee hand Pot recommendation-- complete Analysis of the Best hand Pot

It was probably in college that I fell in love with coffee. At that time, in order to have a place to concentrate on reading without spending any money, I would go to McDonald's after class and order an American coffee that could be refilled indefinitely. I would sit all afternoon, and it would be no problem to drink three or four cups. It should be the foundation laid at that time, so that coffee can cheer me up, but it doesn't make me sleepless. I still have to drink a cup of latte every day to prove that I am alive.

In the world of coffee, there are two kinds of people: one is drinking coffee, the other is tasting coffee. If an impatient like me is the representative of the first type, then today's protagonist Xi Xingai (Mary) is definitely the representative of the second type. For her, coffee should satisfy not only the sense of taste, but also the sense of sight and touch. Coffee is not only a drink to satisfy the appetite, but also a relieving agent for the soul to some extent.

The interview with Mary took place in a Nordic-style cafe in the inner lake. Mary chose this place because she prefers the richness and fullness of Nordic coffee, as well as the prominent, bright and lively fruit aroma, which is suitable for drinking alone or with milk. On Friday afternoon, Mary carefully recommended a Flat White for me, who only drank lattes everywhere. She said Flat White was full-bodied and tastier than lattes. I took a sip of Flat White, showing the satisfaction that Mary had expected, and began my afternoon conversation with her over coffee and coffee.

The coffee shop is really a wonderful place, and it is always easy to open the chatterbox. And a good cup of coffee can quickly shorten the distance between people. In fact, it is not difficult to find someone who loves to drink coffee and can make coffee in the design center, but the reason why she is staring at Mary to share with you is because she has an air of captivating temperament. Mary is extremely elegant to me, the kind of girl who knows at a glance that she has a good tutoring. In the course of the interview with her, I learned about her growing background and work experience, which made me secretly proud of my accuracy in judging people.

In the afternoon, we started talking about Mary's childhood. She said that when all the children of the same age were playing with Barbie dolls, she already loved the kitchen toy package. The kind of cooking and baking were only simulated, but they always brought her great happiness. When she grew up, she especially liked to stay in the kitchen and make all kinds of dishes. Especially from an early age, I also looked at the elders, how to turn all kinds of materials and leftovers in the refrigerator into delicacies one after another. These memories are all enlightening to Mary. The first cup of coffee in my memory is the Viennese coffee that my mother drank when she and her brother had afternoon tea. It was full of chocolate whipped cream, which sweetened the coffee and memories.

When Mary lived in the United States, she worked as a ground clerk for an airline and a counter clerk at the Grand Hotel. when she first arrived in Asustek, she was also the receptionist of the general manager of our enterprises. in addition, her father and mother had special requirements on her speech and behavior since childhood, so Mary's standing, sitting and speaking is a kind of temperament that has been internalized, not a delicate and pretentious posture. With her unique experience and attitude, Mary was later assigned to the design center as a manager, where she took care of everything, big and small, and is now our forward-looking design strategist. Mary works very hard, she told me, to work hard is to make up for their own shortcomings, to make up for their clumsiness, I admire such Mary very much.

Mary's baking is excellent. I remember eating the dessert she made and asking her where she bought it. She smiled and thought I was coaxing her. Mary told me that because she was getting busier and busier at work, it was too extravagant to spare enough time for baking, but she really needed a relieving skill, so she started learning to make her own coffee a few years ago. So for Mary, the process of making coffee relieves the itching of her hands and the thirst of her heart.

I'm not serious about Mary's elegance. It's really enjoyable to watch her make coffee. I smell coffee while watching. It's definitely a feast. I can't wait to ask Mary to demonstrate.

First prepare 24g coffee beans (one person). The coffee beans are ground as thick as fine sea salt (medium grinding). Then pour the ground coffee powder into the filter and remember that the coffee powder must be evenly distributed.

Then, because the coffee powder in the center is the thickest, a small hole is dug in the center of the coffee powder to make sure that the temperature of the hand punch pot has dropped to about 88mur90 degrees.

Use a thin water column to circle the small hole in the center (try not to rush to the filter paper) until the coffee powder absorbs the water evenly and begins to swell, and the measuring cup below is still empty after stopping the water. Steam (wait) until the coffee powder stops expanding and when the surface is dry and cracked, start dripping water into the center until the coffee drips from the bottom (don't rush to the filter paper). Keep dripping water and keep the coffee powder expanding until the filter flows in a straight line. Start injecting water twice (by this time the filter paper has been soaked), and the last time you can use a larger water column to circle around the filter cup. (the foam should be kept on the surface, not left to the bottom filter)

Coffee extraction to 1 80Gg 3 (about 3) is almost over, and then put the filter in another container. If you pour 1x3 coffee solution into the cup, and then add 2gam3 milk (about 120g) to the cup, it is coffee o'lei! (hot and cold milk is recommended at 60 millet 65 degrees.) but if you want to taste black coffee, just dilute the milk with hot water.

This cup of coffee, O'Lei, is very different from the hot coffee in the convenience store, which she must order every day. Mary's hand-brewing coffee is also very different from the beast drink that she always pours into her body before the coffee gets too cold.

Mary, who likes delicious food and coffee, also loves to travel. Wherever she goes, she will visit different coffee shops and taste the local coffee. Mary told me that each cafe has different features to admire. Like this coffee shop called why not, the name itself is very attractive. Let her think that if one day she can own her own coffee shop, she would like to go one step further, called "Mary's oh yes!" Cafe ", believing in all possibilities. I am looking forward to having this coffee shop, which will have the best coffee, the most delicious desserts and, of course, the most elegant landlady. But unexpectedly, Mary's greatest dream is not to open a cafe, but to one day become a gourmet coffee critic, objective and professional to introduce and share delicacies and coffee from all over the world. I absolutely believe that with her rigorous way of doing things and her personality of sharing, this dream must be much closer than she imagined.

I took my last sip of Flat White and finished this interview with Mary. I felt that I had learned more about coffee and Mary. Walking on the road to the Inner Lake, I passed a McDonald's and saw high school students in uniform and drinking American coffee. I thought of their past and thought of their future. Like me, I finally knew that coffee was more than that.
