Different types, effects and uses of hand-brewed coffee filter cups

Many friends like to walk around Paris cafes, I not only want them to drink the best coffee, but also make some TTP plays about coffee and coffee equipment stories, everyone said this process is really enjoyable, because they never see or hear these coffee history and such interesting stories in the cafes outside, many friends were lured by me on the coffee road.

I think this is really the culture of coffee. A qualified barista not only needs to make every cup of coffee carefully, but also needs to know more about the history of coffee and coffee equipment. They will make you rich in personal charm.

Although flannel has many advantages, but the only disadvantage is that cleaning is very troublesome, every time you use it, you must carefully clean it, and boil it with boiling water. You must not leave any coffee grounds on the flannel. In order to prevent the coffee traces on the flannel from oxidizing and smelling, it is best to put the flannel into a box filled with water after cleaning, and then put it into the refrigerator for storage.

And generally after brewing 30-40 times, you need to replace the filter cloth, Japanese experts suggest that every 20 times after brewing to replace the flannel, and this flannel is sometimes very difficult to find, this is also a more troublesome thing.

These factors may be the main reason why flannel filter cups are not popular in China.

We all know that Vietnam drip cup was brought into Vietnam by the French at the beginning of the last century, but I am afraid that not much is known about the history of who invented it. In fact, it is a replica of the earliest Melitte copper filter cup. If you compare Vietnam drip cup with the world's first copper filter cup invented by Mrs. Melita, you will find that they are almost the same in shape and structure except for their different materials. Moreover, the early Melitte porous filter cup is almost identical to the current Vietnam drip pot. So if you want to get a taste of what the early Melitte filter cups really tasted like, you have to have a Vietnamese drip cup. If you can tell your guests the relationship and story of Melitte and Vietnam's drip cup, it will definitely make your guests think highly of you.

American Follicle Pot is a coffee pot invented in the United States in 1941 by Dr. Peter J. Schlumbohm, born in Germany. Its design and uniqueness have been recognized, not only as one of the "Illinois Institute of Technology's Top 100 Modern Products," but also as a permanent collection of the Smithsonian and the Philadelphia Museum of Art by MoMa, New York.

The uniqueness of the American follicular pot is that the coffee pot and filter cup are integrated, not separate. It has a slender waist and is wrapped in wood and leather rope. It is very elegant and elegant. But the secret to pure, flavorful coffee lies elsewhere. The upper half of the American follicular pot filter cup has an air channel (air channel), which is funnel-shaped. When extracting coffee, it can smoothly supply air, and it can easily remove filter paper after use. There is also the filter paper used in American follicular pots, which is about twice as heavy as ordinary filter paper, but its advantage is that it can drip out strong coffee without bitterness.

The coffee extracted by American follicular pot can not only remove excess oil and bitter ingredients, but only extract the purest coffee. After freezing and preservation, even if it is heated again, it still loses its flavor. When the follicle pot is directly heated on the gas stove, even if it is heated with heat-resistant glass, it is still dangerous, so it is better to heat it on the iron frame or tripod.

The filter paper of American follicular pot is not funnel-shaped, but flat four-corner or round filter paper. This is a common method in the laboratory. Fold a flat filter paper twice to form a funnel shape. Perhaps because the inventor was a doctor of chemistry. Kono and Hario filter paper is also used to select the end of the funnel shape, filter paper wall is wet with water, can withstand the weight of coffee, and use pressure to adhere to both sides. However, the funnel and flask part of the American follicular pot do not have a receiving part. Because of the filter paper, if the sewing filter paper is used, the two sides of the filter paper will be broken due to the weight of the coffee. It's as simple as putting filter paper on a mug and making coffee. However, the basket-shaped filter paper can be folded twice like a round filter paper and folded into a funnel shape instead of being used.

However, we must remind domestic friends who are ready to choose Kemex filter cups to pay attention: this American filter paper is not easy to find, it seems that the whole Asia is not sold, the chef once ordered a batch abroad, but helpless customs do not let go, he can not help but send out in the blog "filter cup easy to find, filter paper difficult to find" sigh.

Different shapes of grooves, forming different concave and convex exhaust groove channels, will also have different subtle effects on the taste of coffee, but this requires a deep understanding of the nature of coffee and hand brewing appliances, only accumulated considerable experience and attainments of the masters can experience it.

In addition to the above three most commonly used materials, there are heat-resistant glass, aluminum alloy, tin and other materials, and even in some hot countries in Southeast Asia, there are coffee filter cups woven with bamboo and hemp plants, which are really pure natural green.

In fact, as long as the coffee filter cup can meet the three basic conditions of filtration, ventilation and insulation, it can make good coffee. If we think about it, there are quite a few alternative materials.

The biggest feature of the coffee utensils made by Japan NONO company is very exquisite, and the whole set is matched, whether it is material, color and overall style design are very elegant, with the same fear of tea ceremony and idyllic poetic painting, such exquisite coffee utensils are lit up, no matter whether you like coffee or not, it will immediately kill countless literary young men and women.

German Melitta company from the late 1950s, mainly devoted to the study of coffee filter cup automation, and finally achieved success in the United States, that is, now popular American drip filter machine, pure hand-washed drip filter cup has not been produced, so now can be found are Melitta filter cup products from the 1920s to the 1950s, but Melitta is not small, if you can still find the heart. These exquisite and precious Melitta filter cups displayed in this post are collected directly from abroad by a big man named "EN1808" on the coffee salon forum.

If it comes to today's most used hand-brewed coffee filter cup, non-HARIO company manufacturing V60 conical coffee filter cup belongs to, the success of the filter cup has three secrets: one is spiral groove can more effectively exhaust hot air; second, the deeper cone makes coffee powder pile higher and makes the waterway longer, so that coffee can be stewed evenly; third, the larger leak hole makes the water flow unimpeded, and the speed of dripping is all controlled by the speed of your water injection. V60 coffee filter cup has been widely used since its launch in 2005, and has been fully affirmed by industry experts and coffee lovers.

HARIO company in the discussion of V60 market strategy when the final decision: do not take the aristocratic high-end route, a variety of material selection and reasonable price so that it successfully pushed to the global coffee market, especially millions of ordinary people's families.

Kalita translated into Chinese is "Kalita", if the Japanese wrote about coffee monographs in the interpretation,"Kalita" filter cup is specifically referred to only three holes flat cone coffee filter cup, Kalita company so named probably means to inherit and carry forward Melitta company's hand-made filter cup spirit. Indeed, Kalita's most classic is the three-hole filter cup, whether it is the early development similar to Melitta flat cone filter cup, or later blue Mercedes-Benz three-hole filter cup, all have the meaning of reflecting this meaning.

With so many different types of coffee filter cups introduced, is there one that is the best and most perfect? To be sure-there is never such an answer.

As a coffee lover, how to choose coffee filter cup, through comparison, according to their own favorite and economic affordability, choose the most suitable coffee filter cup, the most suitable for their own is the best.

It is very important to keep rational when purchasing, and avoid greed, especially when one or two sets of beginners can be used, and it is not too late to try other filter cups after playing skillfully. Although the price is not expensive, if you want to collect a full set, see a love one, and the price is by no means a small number.

Coffee players have traditionally had two levels:

One is to play equipment, the more expensive the price, the rarer the better, set the movie lines "do not seek the best, only the most expensive", play to become a device control, there is a good equipment is a good thing, but if you forget that any equipment is ultimately for a cup of good coffee service, become a slave to coffee equipment, this can not help but make people a little sad.

Second, always adhere to the overall goal of carefully producing a good cup of coffee, according to their own needs and economic ability, give full play to and tap the potential of existing equipment, give full play to people's subjective initiative and infinite creativity, have good conditions equipment is gratifying, no conditions do not have to lose heart, do not be happy with things, do not be sad with things. There are conditions to go on, no conditions to create conditions also have to go on, golden hit gold filter cup will be able to make good coffee, soil fired filter cup can also rush out excellent good coffee, with existing equipment to make the best coffee, this is truly admirable good players.

Originally intended to write a variety of coffee filter cup basic use methods and differences, but in this way the post will become very complex, first put aside the selection of beans, roasting and bean cultivation, but also at least involves the identification of beans, judgment of roasting degree, grinding coffee powder thickness, selection of water quality and temperature, stewing and flushing drip and other important operation links, but also involves the selection of corresponding tools, etc., need to classify and classify the editing, it will not become a big article. Therefore, strictly limited to the scope of filter cup appliances, although not yet finished writing (such as smart cup), but the most common and most commonly used main filter cup tools have been written, so stop at this point, there will be time to write brewing methods and friends to communicate with each other, common improvement.
