"put down the American coffee beans, turn on the switch, and a cup of delicious American coffee awaits you."

Lazy person level: ★ (up to five stars)

The budget for appliances is about 200 yuan up.

Advantages: easy to operate, adjust the powder ratio, need to put filter paper / cloth, filter out some coffee oil, five minutes (or even less), you can get a pot of American coffee, very suitable for busy you, by the way, it can also be used to make tea.

Disadvantages: need to occupy a small piece of indoor space, if you do not pay attention to the amount of water, but it will be flooded to the table, it is recommended to put a chassis under the machine, in case of an embarrassing accident, it is everywhere to avoid flooding (leaking the stupid things I used to do before.)

Key point: never accept the necessary items of equipment!

Non-professional recommendation: it is really convenient, and you can brew coffee for the whole family or guests in five minutes. Choose and buy coffee with automatic power-off system and stainless steel pot. This machine is really recommended to you who are busy.

● the habit of most people using American coffee machines is to pour the water, install the coffee powder, press the power, run to other things, and come back to pour coffee after dozens of minutes or more. Some people will turn off the power of the coffee machine when they come back, while others won't because they want to keep the coffee warm. However, all these behaviors will make the coffee extraction time become too long, leading to too high temperature, so that the coffee gum is destroyed.

It is best to keep the temperature of the extracted coffee at 92 degrees Celsius. Because the American coffee machine has a heating plate, it keeps the coffee heated or kept warm, which will make the coffee lose its taste.

So, how do you make good coffee with an American coffee machine?

Because the American coffee machine uses bubbles to extract coffee, the coffee beans should be ground a little thicker. If you use Pegasus bean grinder, please adjust the scale to 3. Please use 15g coffee beans for one person.

First, put the cold water into the coffee machine sink. Put filter paper in the place of the filter cup, and then put in the ground coffee powder.

Then, here comes the point! As the American coffee machine is mostly a single-point outlet, in the extraction process, the water column can not fully contact all the coffee powder, so before extraction, we first sprinkle the cold water of 50c.c to make sure that all the coffee powder is drenched with water.

Then, close the lid of the sink, push the filter cup to the correct position, place the coffee pot on the electric plate, turn on the power, and begin the extraction. This time! This time! This time! (three times because it's important.) Don't leave to do anything else, lest the coffee be overcooked.

Since I am cooking for one person today, when the coffee liquid is close to the scale 1 on the coffee pot, turn off the power and let the rest of the coffee liquid drip slowly. When the coffee liquid is almost filtered, you can pour out the coffee and make a good cup of coffee.

Using the above small steps, you can improve the two shortcomings of the American coffee machine: (1) avoid letting the electric plate heat the coffee all the time, destroying the flavor; (2) soak in cold water before extraction, let all coffee powder be wet first, and solve the problem of single-point outlet.

On the morning of weekends and holidays, friends who already have an American coffee maker at home can try to make a good cup of coffee in this way.
