Many people who like to drink coffee must be infatuated with the magic drink of "hand-made coffee", because everyone has a different taste, so they get a unique and personal style. As long as you have the filter paper, filter cup and hand pot ready, you can easily make a good cup of coffee.

So in the face of Taobao's dazzling array of appliances, what to buy and what not to buy? Of course, the following choices are made for small family coffee shops or direct family coffee lovers.

If you want to make a cup of hand-made coffee, you need at least:

1. A hand punch pot

two。 A filter cup

3. Filter paper as consumable material, temperature machine, called

4. Sharing pot

5. Coffee beans and bean grinders

Part 1. Hand punch pot

Hand-flushing pot is the core of buying hand-flushing utensils, with a wide variety, and the style is naturally in line with personal aesthetics. I do not recommend popular Hario VKB because it is not easy to use. Here are a few pots that you suggest to buy at the initial stage. The price difference is small, don't waste money when you see it in one step, you know.

Takahiro Shizuku- "cheat" (cheating pot)

Takahiro Shizuku, known as the cheating pot, is due to its excellent flow control and impeccable workmanship. If you can only buy a single-function pot, shizuku is the best choice. The price of more than 500 seems a little expensive, but it is well worth it, and the 0.9 L specification can also cope with most environments. 18-8 stainless steel. There are two main disadvantages, one is that the stainless steel top cover will burn those players who are accustomed to holding the top cover with the other hand, and the other is that the current limiter cannot be installed.

Bonavita temperature control long nozzle suction pot "Kettle"

Small spout pot (inner diameter above 6mm), representative: Bonavita constant temperature hand punch pot, Bonavita hand punch pot. British imported Strix temperature control system, accurate control of water temperature, positive and negative temperature difference of 1 degree Celsius, professional gooseneck design, more effective control of flow speed, flow and direction, the base with temperature regulation, heat preservation, memory function. High-quality kettle body workmanship, top cover of plastic, can be equipped with throttle valve, water flow control is also better than VKB. There is nothing else to ask for in a pot, a good choice for a small cafe.

Kalita crane mouth pot

Kalita is an established appliance manufacturer, adhering to the consistent characteristics of the Japanese: Seiko, art-grade workmanship, of course, there is still a gap between this crane-beaked pot and some top products, but if you have no experience in using other works of art for your own use, it is undoubtedly a pleasure to use it. The handle is extremely comfortable, the upper and lower handles make the kettle stable, and the crane mouth is also an advanced style, which is more varied and more interesting. The perfect combination of wood and stainless steel. It goes well with your own stainless steel filter cup. The appearance is benevolent, at least I like it, cool, not bad.

Beginner hand punch if you use a thin-mouthed pot with an inner diameter below 5mm, such as KALITA copper kettle, you can make a good product in a shorter time, but if it is a general fine-mouthed pot, court pot, sharp-mouthed crane-nosed pot, you just need a little practice.

KalitaPOT900 copper pot

Small spout pot (inner diameter 4~5mm), representative: KalitaPOT900 copper kettle, because the spout is thin and long, no matter how the hand shakes or pours the kettle, the flow can be fine and stable, but it also leads to a strong impact force when increasing the amount of water.

Enamel porcelain

3. Flattened wide mouth spout, representative: enamel porcelain. The advantage is that the water flow of the large water column is flexible, and the thickness of the water flow is more controllable, but it is not easy to control the fine water column, and if the inclination is not well controlled, it is easy to make the water flow out.

Kalita wavy kettle

Sharp mouth crane mouth pot, representative: Kalita wave kettle, the spout has a long extension, it is more convenient for users to observe the outflow point of the water flow, the water flow is soft, and the size of the water column is easier to control.

Taguchi coffee protection master hand brewing pot

Wide mouth type crane mouth pot, representative: Taguchi coffee protection master hand brewing pot. The intensity of water injection is much softer than the heroic appearance, and it is suitable to use the brewing way of slow infiltration.

Kalita700

Elephant trunk jug neck, representative: Kalita700, characterized by a wide range of water injection, brewing different sizes of coffee powder can show different degrees of water output. However, if we want to control it improperly, it is easy to produce the phenomenon of unstable water thickness, and the users are required to have higher brewing skills.

HARIO grenade

Hand coffee stainless steel dripping type long mouth sharp mouth small mouth pot: the kettle body made of pure unembroidered steel is polished by secondary fog surface to avoid small scratches caused by slight collision or cleaning. The body and lid of the pot are made of stainless steel, and the cap and handle of the pot are made of phenol formaldehyde resin. The Japanese Hario hand punch is popular all over the world, not only because of its excellent workmanship and design, but also because it is an omnipotent kettle whose flow can be controlled. Compared with all kinds of 5mm pots that can only be brewed with a small current, the Hario kettle can also meet the popular immersion method in Europe and the United States, and can also be controlled to get a small flow of water.

Part 2, filter cup

Popularity: Hario V60

To be exact, Hario V60 is a series that includes resin, glass and ceramics. 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.

[filter cup Kalita] Karita

Hand coffee 2-4 people use fan-shaped three-hole ceramic filter cup Kalita Karita is known as the first brand around Japanese coffee, founded in 1959, to produce ceramic, copper and stainless steel made of excellent coffee equipment well received in Japan, Kalita Karita hand coffee 2-4 people use fan-shaped three-hole ceramic filter cup, the whole body is made of ceramic material, ceramic coffee filter cup has stronger heat preservation, uniform enamel and positive color. The cup is a three-hole trapezoid with a retro style, with a unilateral cup ring and a clear keel in the cup body. The coffee filtered by this filter cup is mellow and fragrant, and is suitable for coffee beans with weak sour taste and high alcohol thickness.

Kalita Wave 155

The Kalitta Wave coffee filter cup is available in two sizes: # 155 and # 185. The size of # 155 is smaller for a cup of coffee and # 185 is larger for 2-4 people. The KalittaWave coffee filter cup is available in both glass and stainless steel, and there is also a ceramic one for # 185.

KalitaWaveDripper 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 familiar HarioV60 is that the bottom is flat. Although the flavor change in the cake cup hand is not as strong as that in the cone filter cup, the overall flavor, solid taste and sweetness of the beans always perform very well.

Chemex 6-Cup

Classic Series Glass Coffee Maker American coffee filter pot, coffee pot and filter cup are one of these. There is a funnel-shaped air channel in the upper part, which can supply air smoothly when extracting coffee. The coffee extracted from the American filter pot can remove excess grease and bitterness, and the extracted coffee is so pure that it will not change its flavor even if it is frozen and heated again.

[key home] tapered diamond filter cup

Filter cup design: perfect tapered, diamond-shaped lines, large round hole in the center.

Extraction characteristics: the design of the diamond pattern of the filter cup can make the flow velocity more uniform; the design of the large round hole in the center of the filter cup can increase the flow rate and make up for the non-uniformity of extraction to a certain extent. The use of diamond filter cup also requires some cooking skills and stability, if hot water is injected in the same way as V60, the filtration speed will be different, so the extraction time will also change. The difference in extraction time will lead to a difference in coffee flavor.

KONO

KONO coffee filter cups and original wooden handle coffee pots have always enjoyed a high reputation among drip filter coffee fans. Mr. Kono, the president of coffee filter cups and coffee pots, who designed coffee filter cups and coffee pots, has studied delicious coffee for many years and designed a series of coffee pots full of pastoral KONO coffee filter cups and log handles. KONO is the favorite professional coffee utensils used by coffee shops and coffee professionals in Japan. It is also a product pursued by many lovers who like drip-filter coffee.

A closer look at the ribs of the KONO filter cup shows that the ribs of the KONO do not extend from the bottom to the top, but stop when they are less than half the height of the filter cup. This height is designed to ensure that during the dripping process, the filter paper can be attached to the wall of the filter cup after absorbing water, and once the exhaust space is limited, the air flow will be limited, which will increase the water absorption time of coffee powder particles.

Part 3. Bean grinder

In fact, this is the key to the quality of coffee. It's just that it's been underestimated for a long time. All those who are afraid of tiredness are electric, but considering that some friends may only use about 15g (one serving) a day, some relatively delicate manual mills are also a good choice. AKIRA A12, HARIO 1B/2TB, KILITA, PORLEX and so on are basically available. Please avoid HERO and TIAMO consciously. This is my suggestion. Of course, as a mill recommended by everyone, I also recommend Encore, but it really doesn't feel good to use.

OE Lido

Compared with mills such as Porlex,Hario 1B/2TB, I'm afraid the only name for Lido is Big Mac. The price is also very high, but the quality of the powder is good, as a hand mill, the residual powder is also more serious. For those who pursue higher, but the output requirements are not high, you can take a look at HG one.

[Japan PROLEX]: recently, it is quite popular, grinding fine powder is better, ceramic core grinding.

Heller Helor 101hand bean grinder: stainless steel spindle, portable, high precision, all parts can be replaced, the price is high

Fuji royal R220

It is known as Little Fuji or Little Nurse because there is also a large version, a bean grinder specially designed for hand flushing. Optional machines for coffee shops and friends who drink more coffee every day, the price is between 3k and 4k. It's durable, there's nothing to say. The processing speed is also very fast. The disadvantage is the inevitable residual powder, prepare 2-3 beans to wash and grind each time, the effect will be better.

Baratza electric bean grinder

Electric bean grinder: [Baratza electric bean grinder] 30 fixed-point grinding scales, each scale can be fine-tuned 9 grinding degrees, almost covering the currently used cooking grinding scale.

The left is the Ghost Tooth Pegasus, and the right is the Round Blade Pegasus.

Yellow for the domestic small Fuji, black for the original [small Fuji Fujiroyal Fuji electric bean grinder Rmur220 ghost teeth] 220V Japanese original imports, domestic small Fuji referred to as "small steel cannon" (below) ghost tooth grinding plate can grind out more uniform coffee powder, at the same time produce less fine powder, higher grinding efficiency. The coffee powder particles of ghost tooth grinding are close to round, and the proportion of coarse powder and fine powder is more uniform, so the coffee taste is cleaner, the flavor is more three-dimensional and full, but the machine price is higher.

Part 4. Filter paper

Special recommendation: Kono unbleached coffee filter paper 100 pieces of 01 1-2 human use, reject Tiamo, if you want to spend more than 400 ML of water at a time to wash the filter paper.

Chemex filter paper is the most expensive, but the filter water is very strong. It can be used repeatedly. If it is used repeatedly for 3 times, the price can be reduced to 50 cents per page. But taking time to clean is also a problem. If it is not clean, it may leave the residual taste of the last coffee.

Hario- V60 filter paper can be said to be in order, with its large number of V-shaped cup, its original filter paper is definitely the first choice.

The filter paper filter paper can absorb the miscellaneous smell and oil of coffee, so the brewed coffee is bright in color and refreshing in taste.

Part 5. Electronic scale

Electronic scales are often the easiest to overlook, the amount of powder and the amount of water injected when brewing coffee. There is a certain ratio of water to powder to extract how much coffee needs to be ground with beans and how much powder is needed.

Smart, rich and handsome: Acaia hand scale

By connecting to the IOS device, Acaia can get your hand injection curve and guide your water injection process scientifically. It's a little expensive, depending on whether it's worth it or not. If it's just for a drink, it doesn't make any sense, and if you want to keep practicing or even become a world champion, it might really work. It is a bit expensive (basic version 1k, advanced version 2k). If you can't afford it, Hario's hand scale VST-2000 is enough, and the second best choice is to buy Tiamo or even a general kitchen scale, just to control the amount of water injected, you don't have to take it too seriously.

Part 6, thermometer

The thermometer is used to measure the water temperature, or you can buy a hand-brewed pot with a thermometer on the lid, because the importance of making coffee by hand is self-evident.

Special recommendation:

[Kalita Karita 64225 drip coffee pot thermometer] is made of stainless steel, the pointer plate is 3.5 × long 14.7cm needle length × width 4 × long 13cm, suitable for hand punch pot and flower jar.

The HARIO electronic thermometer is specially equipped with the thermometer used in the thin-mouth hand punching pot. The temperature dry design is close to the outlet of the thin nozzle, which can directly measure the change of the effluent temperature in the process of hand flushing.

Part 7. Sharing pot

For sharing pot coffee, if you drink it alone, you can put it on the mug instead of sharing the pot. To extract multi-cup coffee, you need to share the pot. With the scale display and transparent material of the sharing pot itself, it is also easier to understand and control the extraction process, and the sharing pot is not just the role of dividing the cup.

[beginner's Guide to brewing Coffee by hand]

The filter paper is folded

Step 1: fold the filter paper and put it into the filter cup.

Hot water filter paper

Step 2: rinse the filter paper with hot water, as long as let the filter paper all wet, so as to remove the smell of the filter paper. (although there is only a little water to wash the filter paper, don't forget to pour it out first and then take follow-up actions.)

Coffee powder rubbing a small hole

Step 3: pour in the coffee powder, distribute it evenly, and rub a small hole with your little finger in the center.

Pour hot water into the hole

Step 4: with 87 to 92 degrees hot water, first pour some hot water into the small hole, then slowly spread to the surrounding coffee powder clockwise or counterclockwise, until the water is dripping and steam for 30 seconds. (steaming allows coffee powder to inhale hot water and discharge carbon dioxide, which is helpful for the extraction of aromatic substances.)

Coffee powder will swell and bulge

Step 5: when steaming, the coffee powder will swell (the fresher the coffee powder is, the more it will bulge), until the bulge is about to collapse, it can be injected with hot water.

Spread in an intermediate circle

Step 6: when flushing by hand, take the middle as the center and slowly spread out in a circle, so that the hot water can be diffused horizontally in the coffee powder to extract rich coffee flavor. (do not rush directly to the outermost ring when making a circle with your hand, which will cause the hot water to fall directly along the edge of the filter paper cup, not only without extraction, but will dilute the coffee concentration.)

Stir coffee powder with hot water under pressure

Step 7: raise the pot slightly before the end of the hand, shake the pot in the middle of the coffee powder, increase the brewing pressure, stir the coffee powder with hot water pressure, and do the final extraction before the end.

Let the water in the filter paper drip slowly

Step 8: collect the water, let the water in the filter paper drip slowly, and so on when you like the coffee in the proportion of powdered water, you can pick it up and enjoy it.
