Unlike hand flushing, Philharmonic pressure is an extraction method of soaking with pressure. Extractable espresso is easy to clean and easy to operate.

Where does the Philharmonic pressure come from?

In 2005, Alan Adler, an engineer, physicist and lecturer at Stanford University, found that he really did not have the patience to use the troublesome plug-in coffee pot and did not even want to spend four minutes making coffee by hand, so he worked around to design this strange-looking apparatus that could quickly brew delicious coffee, and because of a layer of filter paper, it could filter out excess impurities and make coffee with clean flavor. And it will not precipitate mud or produce a bitter taste like the bottom of the French filter pot. So he decided to go into mass production and succeeded in making it popular among coffee lovers.

The principle and structure of Philharmonic pressure

The Philharmonic pressure combines the soaking extraction method of the French filter pressure pot, the filter paper filtration of the hand-brewed coffee and the Italian pressure extraction. After mixing the coffee powder with hot water, squeeze the air with the pressure cylinder and penetrate the filter cover to extract the coffee with clean flavor. If you use more fine coffee powder and reduce the amount of water, you can also make a good espresso!

Its structure can be simply divided into three parts: kettle body, filter cover and piston cylinder, which need to be used with filter paper or metal filter. In addition, funnel, measuring spoon, mixing rod and other convenient operation will be attached. It became popular among coffee lovers.

Six reasons why you will fall in love with the Philharmonic pressure

1. First of all, compared with other cooking methods, the Philharmonic is much more approachable. Unlike French filter pots, it's best to use a zigzag bean grinder to avoid uneven thickness affecting the taste; unlike hand coffee, you don't need any special skills, just pour water and press!

two。 Its price is not expensive at all. The whole set of Philharmonic pressure plus a copy of filter paper can be started at about NT $1000. In addition, there is a special metal filter screen to replace the filter paper, the pore is large, so it will not completely isolate the coffee grounds, but the fine residue produces a richer flavor, but also saves costs and gives consideration to environmental protection.

3. Lightweight and durable, the plastic material is not afraid of breaking, so it is a good choice when traveling.

4. The brewing process is very fast. It doesn't take much time to soak or slowly inject water, the author says. As long as the water boils, he can make a cup of coffee in about 60 seconds.

5. Philharmonic pressure can make coffee with excellent flavor, and the flavor is clear and clean. If you are interested in tasting the interesting flavor differences between different types of coffee, Philharmonic pressure is very good at showing the flavor of coffee.

6. Last but not least, its cleaning method is extremely simple. If it is a French filter pot, you have to dig up the coffee grounds and then wash the residue. Philharmonic pressure only needs to turn the filter cover away to take out the complete coffee cake like pressed powder, and then simply rinse it.

So does Philharmonic have any drawbacks? Yes, it can only make one or two cups of coffee at a time, so it is not suitable for brewing for a large group of people. Of course, its appearance is not attractive at all, but this plastic tube which looks like a medical device has a strange charm.

It is exciting to be able to make coffee with pure flavor so easily and quickly. However, the French filter pot also has its unique and rich taste, and some people especially like the taste of coffee grounds, and how to improve the technology of hand-brewing coffee is the common goal of many coffee lovers; in addition, there are even household espresso machines on the market. In other words, there is no difference between the advantages and disadvantages of all kinds of coffee utensils, each with its own flavor and personal preferences. Maybe you should give it a try. You can choose your own coffee time at any time according to your mood and needs.

So how to choose the parameters of Qianjie Coffee when it is suggested to use Philharmonic pressure to make coffee?

1. Water temperature: when making Philharmonic coffee, the water temperature can range from 80 ℃ to 92 ℃, depending on the baking degree of the beans and the flavor you want to express!

2. The degree of grinding: Qianjie Coffee thinks it is about the same as the usual degree of grinding by hand. If the degree of grinding is relatively fine, then it is easy to be extracted and tasted like fine powder, while if the degree of grinding is coarse, it is easy to be sharp and sour, and there will be insufficient extraction.

3. The ratio of powder to water: 1:15. If the proportion of powdered water is too small, because the concentration is too high, it will be difficult to feel the flavor of coffee, and it is easy to appear acidity; while if the proportion of powdered water is too large, it will extract more flavor, making the coffee with obvious woody taste and miscellaneous flavor.

In the former street [90 + candle], for example, the recommended parameters for cooking with Philharmonic pressure are:

Small Fuji Grinding 3.5Compact 89 ℃ / 1:15

Flavor: nectarine, sucrose sweet
