Nordic minimalist design aesthetics, synonym for French filter kettle

Bodum, founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, has a history of more than 70 years. With the design concept of simple fashion aesthetics, the French filter kettle (French Press Coffeemaker) has become a necessity for home life in Northern Europe. At present, bodum, headquartered in Switzerland, has sold its products to more than 50 countries in the world, which has become synonymous with French filter kettles. Today, bodum French filter pots are manufactured in Portuguese factories, following the same craftsmanship as craftsmen in the past. The exclusively designed metal filter not only filters coffee grounds, but also retains more oil and flavor.

If you want a full-bodied cup of coffee, the French filter pot is definitely better than a regular drip coffee maker. Because the French filter can flush out the coffee oil, but the general drip coffee machine can not make the strong coffee oil out. The French filter kettle can be used anywhere and is easy to operate. And if you use the right tools and prepare correctly, your coffee is even very mellow and thorough.

If you want to use a French filter to make a good cup of coffee, you must first have a good bean grinder. Never choose a screw grinder or a cheaper sawtooth grinder, such as Pavoni PA or Braun KM30, whose quality is really poor. The spiral bean grinder is only a suspected bean grinder, but this is not the case.

This time, let's talk about the operation mode of fine grinding.

The amount of coffee powder is 18 grams (fine grinding)

The boiling water temperature is 93 ℃.

Two-stage water injection, total time 3 minutes

The total water volume is 250ml, and the ratio of powder to water is about 1:14.

This time the coffee beans were treated with very fine grinding. This method is completely different from the general use of French filter kettle, is the use of very fine grinding powder to achieve the same particle size. At first, I was a little worried about whether this way would lead to too much coffee grounds, but in the actual test, I found that the filtering effect was pretty good, which was similar to that of rough grinding.

In the process of making iced Olei coffee, we pour the extracted coffee directly into the ice and add milk. If you are looking for a cup of coffee, you might as well add another procedure, just like Hsieh Ting-hsin, the second runner-up in the 2017 Taiwan Coffee Brewing Competition.

Brewing coffee does not fail, "soaking" is a good helper for beginners!

This is something you must know. "soaking" is the extraction principle of the French filter kettle, which is completely different from the "filtering" way of hand-brewing coffee. The failure rate of soaking extraction is very low, as long as the water temperature, time, and the ratio of powder to water are well controlled. Beginners can also easily brew a cup of professional coffee. The bodum French filter pot is designed with a special metal filter screen to completely filter out the coffee residue and retain the rich oil in the coffee. At the same time, it is also the source of good flavor. The French filter coffee with rich texture must be the heart of the coffee glutton.

If you care about the taste of the French filter kettle, you might as well take out the tapered filter cup at home and put it on the filter paper and do the filter action again. This is not a necessary action, but a method recommended to you according to your personal preference.
