The taste of siphon coffee will be different in addition to the beans itself. because it is heated by the fire source, it will also produce differences in high, medium and low temperatures with brewing, thus creating rich flavor changes. The first thing you feel when drinking is sweetness, and the sour taste will not come out until the temperature drops slightly. At high temperature, the aroma of coffee is very strong, and when the temperature drops to 70 degrees, the inherent rich taste of coffee beans will gradually emerge.

The four steps of siphon coffee pot are as follows:

1. Put in the filter

First of all, put the filter into the upper pot, pull the filter spring out of the lower pipe mouth, buckle the hook at the bottom of the pipe, and then use the mixing rod to adjust the filter position to make it center.

2. Heating

After joining the upper pot and the lower pot, ignite and heat up the water in the lower pot. Keep heating up and push the water to the upper pot through the hot expansion and cold contraction of the air in the next pot. At this time, you can observe the bubbles floating on the water surface, if there are large bubbles, it means that the filter is uneven, and then you can use the mixing rod to adjust the position to make sure that the close does not leave a gap.

3. Pour in the powder and stir

When most of the hot water is injected into the pot, adjust to the required firepower, then pour in the coffee powder, time and start stirring, stirring is a key link in the siphon cooking process, the purpose is to make the coffee homogeneous extraction, first use a stirring rod to gently press, let the powder sink, and finally draw a circle to stir so that the powder can come into contact with enough water and release the substance smoothly. About 20-30 seconds for the second stirring, the cooking process will continue to have aroma, the total cooking time of about 50 seconds-1 minute.

4. Stop heating

After turning off the fire, because the gas pressure decreases, the hot expansion and cold contraction, the upper pot of coffee liquid falls due to the siphon principle. (another way is to cover the lower pot with a wet cloth to accelerate the reaction of hot and cold shrinkage. After use, soak the coffee pot in hot water to remove the remaining oil stains. If you need to clean thoroughly, you can use cleaning enzyme or baking soda powder.

Little Tips

The mastery of heat is the most critical cause of siphon cooking. In use, alcohol lamps need to adjust the bulbs, and it is not easy to control firepower; gas stoves have strong firepower but are prone to uneven heating, so it is suggested that you can put the source of fire on the side and move to adjust firepower at any time; halogen lamps have no flame, the heating state is the most stable.
