Today the editor summarized the brewing characteristics and extraction differences of hand-made coffee filter cup-Hario V60 and Kalita Wave.

Let's start with extraction:

Hario V60

The Hario V60 drip filter cup, which was invented by a combination of chemical, glassware and coffee. The name V60 comes from its 60 °tapered angle, which has been made of ceramic, glass, plastic and metal. The final version of the V60 uses a copper filter cup designed for high thermal conductivity to achieve better extraction with better heat retention.

V60 caters to many variables in coffee making, mainly in the design of these three points:

1. Cone at an angle of 60 degrees: this prolongs the time for the water to flow through the coffee powder to the center.

2. A large filter hole: this allows us to control the flavor of coffee by changing the flow rate of water.

3. Spiral pattern: this allows air to escape upward from all around to maximize the expansion of coffee powder.

Suggestion: the filtering speed of V60 is fast, medium and fine grinding is recommended, and the method of water injection is random, as long as it is uniform enough. Flavor features: bright, clean and refreshing.

Kalita Wave

[Kalita Wave] is a flat-bottomed hand filter cup from Japan. The flat-bottomed design can make the extraction more sufficient. The difference between KalitaWave and the HarioV60 we are familiar with is that the bottom is flat. Although the aroma of cake cup is not as strong as that of conical filter cup, the overall flavor of beans also has a solid taste and sweetness that always perform very well-with the cake cup special waveform filter paper Kalita filter paper, specially deepen the design of side grooves, so that you will have a better hand flushing experience.

Suggestion: Kalita Wave drip filter cup is suitable for moderate grinding, it is recommended to be a little thicker than when you use v60, this filter cup is relatively slow to enter the water. Although there are three drip holes, they are all very small. Coffee powder grinding too fine will increase the extraction rate, will not make the flavor more prominent, but will be easy to over-extract, drinking the end will be astringent.
