Can a coffee maker make high-quality coffee? Summarized into two articles:

1. Can the French press completely extract coffee?

Second, a few friends say that the coffee made by the press pot is mixed with pulp, so how to explain that the press pot can make good coffee?

As for the question of whether the press can completely (perfectly) extract coffee, first ask a question, what kind of coffee appliance can completely achieve the effect of perfect coffee extraction today? It should be said that each appliance has its characteristics and limitations, if someone says siphon pot is very good, but scientifically speaking siphon pot extraction coffee belongs to excessive extraction coffee (because extraction time is long).

Some people also say that hand flushing, then whether it is from the subtle differences in brewing equipment, techniques, water temperature, etc., it has changed to completely belong to personalized equipment. Then some people say Italian machine, let's say large commercial semi-automatic (professional enough!) So grinding fineness, pressure, machine water temperature and pressure these indicators are not easy to apply it!

Therefore, the birth of any kind of appliance has its reason, but it also has its limitations. I introduced the method to many friends mainly for the purpose of simple operation, low cost and easy to use. It is fully supported to make high quality coffee, I once sent a photo back from Europe in April (the largest coffee roaster in Hamburg, Germany), the roaster in Hamburg is using pressed single items, I also bought a pot, and this phenomenon is common at least in Germany.

Some friends make coffee in French press pots mixed with pulp, which is indeed a fact. But this should be attributed to the problem of production skills, first of all should be coffee beans more uniform coarse grinding, especially manual grinder friends, this grinder coffee uneven thickness, fine coffee powder is easy to filter and suspended in coffee liquid. In addition, the speed of filter pressing is too fast, which will also cause the coffee powder to be pressed down from the filter to turn up, resulting in rough taste.

We should be soberly aware that the purchase of coffee equipment should be based on their own taste characteristics, economic conditions and the use of environmental restrictions, but coffee equipment from the principle of no distinction between high and low. I just don't believe that using the French press is inferior to using the semi-automatic. Siphon pot, manual brewing player friends, you play this on the continue to improve we give you vertical thumb brother, the use of French pressure friends you down-to-earth, Xiaobian at home to use French pressure to make coffee.

As you know, I often buy finished coffee from abroad, especially from my peers in baking houses, to learn from textbooks, including Blue Mountain, Kona, and some famous small manor coffee, all of which I use pressure to make. This morning I made a French press coffee from Kenya and its famous small estate coffee, and I think French press coffee is the closest thing to professional cupping in principle.
