In this issue, we will introduce the method of making coffee in the French pressure pot.

French pressure kettle, also known as French filter kettle, tea maker. A simple brewing appliance consisting of a heat-resistant glass bottle (or transparent plastic) and a metal filter with a pressure bar, which originated in France around 1850. At first, it was mostly used to brew black tea, so it is also called tea maker.

The principle and characteristics of using pressure pot to make coffee: the essence of coffee is released by soaking and stewing through the full contact between water and coffee powder to complete the extraction of coffee liquid. The oil in the coffee beans can be retained, so the taste is thicker, and there is a wonderful taste difference between the first cup and the second cup.

Suitable for coffee: coffee powder with both thick and light taste, can be blended with a single product, which can fully reflect the characteristics of a cup of coffee.

Degree of grinding and matters needing attention: coarse granulated (granulated sugar), because there is a relatively large gap in the opening of the filter screen of different pressure pots, so we should not only try to choose the pressure kettle with moderate opening size, but also pay attention to the fact that the bean powder is too fine not only easy to extract too much, but also easy to cause coffee residue in the coffee solution, affecting the taste, remember.

The operation steps of the method of brewing coffee in the French pressure pot:

1. Warm the French kettle and coffee cup with hot water.

two。 Pull out the filter of the kettle. Pour out the water from the kettle and put the right amount of coffee powder in the kettle.

3. Slowly rinse the hot water at 90-95 degrees Celsius into the kettle, stir slowly with a stirring stick, so that the coffee powder is in full contact with the hot water, extract evenly, then cover and rest for 4 minutes.

4. Press the filter slowly to the end to separate the coffee liquid from the coffee powder and pour the coffee extract into a warm coffee cup while maintaining the pressure.

5. Add milk and sugar according to your taste.

PS: for a single serving of beans, it is recommended to taste black coffee without milk and sugar, and then add milk and sugar according to taste. And the amount of coffee powder and water is recommended: if you are using a 350ml kettle, use 16g coffee powder and 330ml for hot water; if you are using a 500ml kettle, use 24g coffee powder and 480ml for hot water.
