The French filter kettle (French press) is the easiest coffee appliance to operate, and it is very popular in Europe and the United States, but most Taiwanese think of it as "to make tea." in fact, its coffee flavor is not inferior to that of hand-brewed coffee, and it can brew coffee for more than two people at a time. If you have many coffee enthusiasts in your home, it will be a good choice for you to consider coffee utensils.

The principle of using a French kettle is simple:

First of all, do the action of warming the cup, pick up the French pressure lid (including the filter), pour the hot water into it, and so on, you can pour out the water if you can feel the external heat of the French pressure. Next, pour the ground coffee powder, about 15g to 20g, into the French pressure. Then pour a little bit of 90 C water to make the coffee powder wet evenly, wait 10 to 20 seconds, and then pour in hot water, (15 to 20 grams) is a cup. Finally, pull the filter to the top, close the lid, then slowly press the filter down to half the amount of water, wait 2-3 minutes, and then press the filter to the bottom, OK. When you still have half a minute, you can do the action of warming the coffee cup first, and then fill the coffee cup with hot water, and then you can OK when you feel warm outside the cup!

The steps are super simple, but the thickness of coffee powder, the temperature of hot water and the length of soaking time will affect the taste of coffee.

When it comes to the origin of the invention of the French filter kettle, it was originally used as an extraction tool in France, because the use of a metal filter can fully extract oil and taste the characteristics of coffee beans. The quality of coffee beans will directly affect the taste, in other words, the disadvantages will be obvious.

Because the filter mesh of the French filter pressure pot is larger, if you use the coffee powder ground in the middle, the extracted coffee will be mixed with a lot of powder, and the taste will become rustling. However, the mesh sizes of filter pots produced by different manufacturers are also different.

Full-bodied and mellow are the characteristics of the French filter kettle, some people think that there is too much miscellaneous smell, but in fact, the successful French filter kettle taste should be very pure. The device of the French filter kettle includes a long glass and a lid with a filter screen. It should be noted that the French filter pot is easy to overextract, so it is best to pour the coffee out of the filter pot immediately after the extraction is complete.

What kind of coffee beans is the French press suitable for?

Deep-roasted coffee beans, soak for about 2-2.5 minutes, the water temperature is 90 degrees, if you want to be bitter, grind a little finer, or have more powder, or less water! Please note that the particles are a little bigger than the filter screen of the kettle, otherwise they will run out!

For light-roasted coffee beans, soak for about 3-3.5 minutes and the water temperature is about 95 degrees. If you want to taste sour fruit, you can consider grinding it a little thicker. If you want to be thicker, you should have more powder or less water.

The French kettle is characterized by strong and mellow taste, which is especially suitable for deep roasting coffee beans. No filter paper, no plug-in or heating. As long as you put in the coffee powder, as soon as the hot water is flushed, the time is up, press the pressure bar, and you can enjoy a fragrant and mellow busy leisure time.
