It is suggested that the method of hand flushing: it is basically applicable.

Barista use experience: the flow is relatively difficult to control, the handle is hot, after proficiency, the size of the flow can be changed at will, handy. If the water flow is well controlled, it can be very fine, which is very suitable for Japanese hand flushing.

Practicability: copper has good thermal conductivity and uniform heat dissipation, noble shape, and makes people feel calm and down-to-earth in appearance. Let the users also show a taste of sophistication.

Barista's experience: the neck of the Kalita1L does not rise smoothly, but gradually converges as a triangular streamline from the kettle body to the tip of the mouth, increasing the arc, thus limiting the flow rate of the effluent. The intensity of water injection is much softer than the heroic appearance.

2, filter cup, reference

V60 filter cup:

We commonly use Hario V60 glass and plastic models, which have a fast flow rate and can be cooked in a short time. Playable V60 has three characteristics:

(1) A cone with an angle of 60 degrees, which 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: produces the function of twisting and extruding, increasing the dilution of soluble matter, which allows the air to escape from all around, greatly increasing the contact area of coffee grounds with air and water.

Kalita sector:

The shape of the top is wide and the bottom is narrow, which is conducive to the concentration of water, while the top shows a circle. The purpose of making a wider area is to make coffee particles evenly distributed and reduce stacking. There are many ribs on the wall of the kalita cup, distributed in a straight line, and the distance between the ribs is the same, in order to increase the speed of exhaust and flow. At the same time, its flow rate is relatively slow, and it is mainly extracted by soaking. With three small round holes, the flow rate is relatively slow, so the whole process is a semi-immersion extraction.

Kalita cake cup:

Kalita Wave is a flat-bottomed hand filter cup from Japan. The flat-bottomed design can make the extraction more sufficient. Although the aroma and flavor change of the cake cup is not as strong as that of the conical filter cup, the overall flavor of the beans also has a solid taste and sweetness.

According to the way of work can be divided into human and electric, no matter what category, my personal advice is to buy a good electric bean grinder that you can afford!

Electric bean grinder: small steel gun

There are three different types of knives: split knife, cone knife, ghost tooth and so on.

The flat knife grinds the coffee beans in a "peeling" way to increase the area of the cell wall, so using the flat knife can increase the concentration and extraction rate of coffee liquid in a short time, so that the aroma of coffee can be significantly improved in a short time.

[ghost teeth] Grinding in the way of grinding, the particles are close to round, and the ratio of coarse powder to 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, we use the small steel cannon of ghost teeth.

4, filter paper, reference filter paper | filter paper, metal filter screen, filter cloth how to choose, do you need to wash filter paper?

Kono unbleached coffee filter paper 100 pieces of 01 1-2 for human use, almost no smell of paper.

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.

6, thermometer

The thermometer is used to measure the water temperature, and there is also a corresponding cost-effective thermometer on a certain treasure.

7, share the 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.

If you have a set of completed equipment, you can make it by hand. You can refer to the beginner's brewing guide | choose and purchase simple hand-brewing equipment, V60 brew a cup of delicious Yunnan tin card boutique coffee.

Here is an extension of the coffee machine, the general household coffee machine, you can also choose:

Drip coffee maker: drip coffee maker is the most popular coffee maker in the family, and it is suitable for daily consumption.

American coffee machine is a method of brewing coffee that produces a lot of coffee. the taste of the coffee brewed is not as good as that of Italian coffee machine, and American coffee machine can only be brewed with coffee powder. American coffee machine the coffee made by the American coffee machine is already quite light. Because his principle is to pour water on the coffee powder and then flow to the pot.

2, capsule coffee machine: the emergence of capsule coffee machine is absolutely the greatest liberation for lazy people who are keen on coffee.

3, coffee machine: full-automatic and semi-automatic coffee machine, the threshold of full-automatic coffee machine is slightly higher, the price basically starts from 3000 yuan. For busy people, a fully automatic coffee machine means that a cup of coffee can be easily made in the process of washing.

Having said so much, I would like to introduce some household semi-automatic coffee machines that are popular in coffee forums.

The price of elegant em-18 (imitation s) is about 1600 yuan for the second generation and 2000 yuan for the third generation.

Huijia 210s 2, the price is about 3600 yuan

NUOVA Nova SIMONELLI OSCAR Oscar Italian steam semi-automatic coffee machine 5800 +

The machines of many small household appliance brands are like this (such as Cankun, Delong, Electrolux, etc.). After all, these brands are not professional coffee makers. Another thing to consider is a good heat conduction material, a good machine has a better circuit and pipeline design, using copper or stainless steel as the main material of the coffee machine, they have good thermal conductivity (to ensure uniform and stable temperature). Otherwise, it is still more than 90 degrees from the boiler to 70 or 80 degrees out of the coffee machine, which will be more obvious in the low temperature environment.

About 1000 yuan is Cankun level, the condensed product is more water, a dragon's semi-automatic machine is actually about the same, no better, after all, the internal hardware can not keep up with, according to your budget, EM-18 meets your budget, the so-called penny per cent, price response quality, in addition to the appearance of the shell you see. The key point is the principle of grinding beans and cooking inside the machine, the manufacturing material of important parts, the overall quality, and whether there is a perfect after-sales service.

Italian coffee maker:

Italian coffee machine-here you can choose between fully automatic integrated coffee machine and semi-automatic coffee machine. The fully automatic coffee machine can complete the Italian concentrated extraction with one click, and the fully automatic coffee machine can grind your beans, so you don't need to buy another bean grinder. But the fully automatic coffee machine needs to be more meticulous in maintenance, more expensive, and less personalized, such as the fully automatic wmf coffee machine used by the whole family and Rosen, which costs more than 20, 000 yuan; the fully automatic egro coffee machine used by 7-ELEVEN is a little better, selling more than 60, 000 on a certain treasure.

If you use a semi-automatic coffee machine, you need baristas to grind and press powder, extract, milk foam and so on. You can watch baristas make coffee and enjoy the process of being served. Most cafes use semi-automatic coffee machines, recommended around RMB 1W-3W, Nuova commercial machine double reference price 16500-2W, mother boiler, Italian Pegasus FAEMA Enova A220000

Nuova Appia 2

FAEMA ENova A2

I heard that the price of GS3 has also gone up. You can't buy more than 3W, it costs 40-50, 000.

A good machine is equipped with a good mill. If you consider buying a hot mom, you should also consider buying a good mill. Know the price of EK43.

Mahlkonig EK43

I've been playing coffee machine since I knew coffee! So, now you know why baristas can't save money and spend it on equipment.

Go on, go to Level 6 and directly recommend a book. Take a look at it:
