There are many kinds of coffee brewers all over the world, such as hand brewing / siphon / mocha pot / French filter / Philharmonic pressure / smart filter cup / Italian / Turkey / ice drops. Even the capsule coffee machine likes a lot of people.

So what is the difference between these tools? We know that coffee brewing can be divided into several factors, namely, powder-to-water ratio, grinding degree, water temperature, brewing time, water quality, and utensils.

The powder-to-water ratio, grinding degree, water temperature, brewing time and water quality can all find ways to make it a fixed variable, so today Resa Caf é is going to introduce common coffee utensils and how they are different.

-hand flush.-I just want a different taste every day.

If you like the taste that is different every day, in addition to drinking special coffee beans, another way is to use hand brewing coffee, excluding the unstable taste caused by coffee not yet raised beans, when coffee beans gradually stabilize, hand brewing allows you to show a slightly different taste of coffee every time you brew, the taste is very diverse. Because of the water temperature, steaming time, flow size, circle technique, water cut-off or not, water cut-off times, grinding scale … Wait, these small details are the factors that affect the flavor of hand-brewed coffee, so that you can brew a different coffee every time.

French filter-if you like the taste of coffee grease

If you have ever paid attention to the surface of the brewed coffee, you can find that the coffee itself contains oil. The French filter pressure is to put the coffee powder into the French filter pot and soak it in hot water for a certain period of time before extraction. The French filter pressure is not like the hand filter paper will filter the coffee part of the oil, so it will have a more different aroma and taste than the hand filter paper. Because coffee powder is soaked in hot water and extracted, special attention should be paid to the weight and extraction time of coffee powder. It is recommended to use scales and timers to accurately measure the coffee powder to avoid the problem of excessive extraction, and the French filter pressure is more likely to have residue.

Philharmonic pressure-five minutes of coffee in a busy morning

If you are tired of drinking a cup of coffee and have to buy complicated utensils, such as hand brewing, siphon and so on, you need to prepare more equipment, then you can consider taking a look at the Philharmonic pressure, which is made for convenience. There are non-inverted and inverted brewing methods. After grinding 35g with a thicker grinding degree, place the coffee powder on the Philharmonic pressure. With a water temperature of 84 degrees, pour 150g of water and wait for 20 seconds, then cover with filter paper and lid, reverse the Philharmonic pressure and shake gently, finally the coffee is hydraulically released, and the coffee liquid can be drunk after adding water. The advantage of Philharmonic pressure is convenient, very easy to clean and fast, and easy to make the same taste, but the disadvantage of Philharmonic pressure is its small capacity and can not be boiled too much at a time.

Mocha pot-another option for espresso

The Italian coffee maker is expensive and not suitable for ordinary families, so give it to the mocha pot.

There are three spaces in the mocha pot, the bottom space is filled with water, the middle is filled with coffee powder, and the top layer is filled with brewed coffee liquid, and there is a metal filter in the middle of each layer. when the mocha pot is heated on the stove, it will produce water vapor to increase the pressure at the bottom, so that the water passes through the middle layer of coffee powder, and finally stays at the top to become brewed coffee, while the coffee at the end of the mocha pot is usually not used. Compared with the 9 atmospheric pressure of Italian coffee, although the mocha pot uses 1.5-3 atmospheric pressure to brew coffee, but compared with other ways of brewing coffee is still more mellow and rich, and can retain oil (Crema), but the mocha pot is not suitable for brewing shallow roasted beans, usually used to brew medium and deep-roasted coffee beans, and the boiling water temperature is too high to produce scorched taste.

Siphon Coffee-an amazing brewing show

If we say that the hand-made multi-layered taste, the beans baked in light can get a distinct sour taste.

But do not like sour taste bitter coffee also has a certain weight supporters, if you do not like acid, might as well try siphon brewing, siphon type is based on steam attraction pressure change principle for extraction, water in the lower pot through the heat source to heat the water to run to the upper pot, coffee powder in the upper pot gently stirred, soaked, remove the heat source coffee liquid attracted automatically back to the next pot due to pressure, seemingly simple But it hides a lot of devil-like details, which is a gorgeous way to pay attention to the details of brewing, and the advantage of siphon is that it can remove acid and taste clean, so the performance of shallow roasted beans is better, but medium-and deep-roasted beans are easy to have problems, so fewer and fewer people use siphon, and more coffee beans are needed to be brewed, and the equipment will be covered with oil and is not easy to clean, and the filter cloth needs to be changed regularly.

Smart filter cup-fast, simple and convenient

The smart filter cup is another convenient, simple, fast and stable choice in addition to the Philharmonic pressure. The coffee utensils invented by the Taiwanese brew coffee with a concept similar to tea, first put filter paper on the smart filter cup, wash the paper with hot water and warm the cup, and drain the water through the smart device (the middle gate is pushed up and the valve opens automatically, so it is called smart filter cup) Then put in the ground coffee powder of about 20cm 22g (usually similar to the manual scale, small eagle\ Kilita nice cut scale 3.5or Fuji\ Pegasus scale 4), then pour into the water temperature 8895 degrees Celsius hot water 50~100C.C steaming for 30 seconds (the principle of completely covering the coffee powder is the principle), then add the hot water to 9 minutes full of the filter cup. Wait one minute and finally put the filter cup on the mug or accept the pot to enjoy a quick and delicious cup of coffee, and of course, with the smart filter cup, you can also choose not to steam, directly add the water to nine minutes and wait for 2-3 minutes. no matter which way you use the smart filter cup to let the temperature and time change under the instructions of the extraction, so you can brew stable coffee, so more and more shops are using smart filter cups. Just for his stable taste, although the smart filter cup is convenient, it is soaked like making tea, so the good and bad flavors are easy to extract.

The above is a general introduction to the utensils

If you like coffee with stable flavor, then you can choose Philharmonic pressure and smart filter cup.

If you like changeable taste, you must try hand flushing and siphon.
