It is the size of the spout that will affect the cooking flavor. In general, it is easier to control the amount of water out of the pot, so it is suitable for beginners to use.

Filter cup

The size and material of the filter cup are also different, and the size of the filter diameter at the bottom of the filter cup will affect the flow rate of coffee extraction, thus affecting the flavor of coffee.

The fan-shaped filter cup has the advantages of small filter diameter, slow flow rate and mellow taste; the cone-shaped filter cup has large filter diameter, fast flow rate and light taste; the wavy filter cup has a flat bottom with special wave filter paper, which makes the coffee taste the most uniform.

The grinding basin in the bean grinder can be roughly divided into flat knife, cone knife, ghost tooth; flat knife belongs to use-cutting, so that the contact area is large, the advantage is fast extraction, but a double-sided blade is also easy to over-extraction; cone knife is-rolling way, resulting in thicker particles, it takes a long time to extract, but will not over-extract; and ghost teeth balance the advantages of both sides.
