How many coffee beans are used in the French kettle? how many coffee powders are put in the general pressure pot? is there much coffee oil in the French kettle?

Coffee is becoming more and more popular, and there are all kinds of brewing methods. However, when you are busy, you may feel that you don't have time for a cup of hand, and you don't seem to have much time to have an Italian. In this case, it may be a good choice to use a lazy pot for a cup of coffee. Compared with the hand-brewed coffee, the coffee extracted from the French filter kettle retains a lot of oil and tastes thicker and round, but has less oil compared to the Italian coffee.

When it comes to coffee fat, you may immediately think of the "foam" on top of espresso, also known as "Crema". If espresso does not have that layer of oil, it may be said to be an unsuccessful espresso. Indeed, espresso is perfect with that layer of fat. The oil of espresso is mainly composed of carbon dioxide and insoluble oil of coffee powder.

Roasted coffee beans contain gases such as carbon dioxide. In modern Italian semi-automatic coffee machine extraction coffee, there will be a 9bar pressure to "squeeze" coffee pressed powder, coffee powder because of the pressure of carbon dioxide, water for carbon dioxide showed a state of supersaturation, so carbon dioxide can not be released, directly into the coffee liquid. And in this process will emulsify the fat in the coffee, these fat will be wrapped in carbon dioxide, because it is lighter than water, all will gradually delaminate, golden oil will appear on the surface, very beautiful.

The French pressure pot is indeed one of the most convenient household coffee pots, and it is also the best way to completely retain the flavor of coffee (it is easy to show the good flavor of coffee and expose the shortcomings of coffee), so it requires high quality and freshness of coffee. The French kettle is also the easiest way to copy the same kind of coffee among the production methods we have. The same pressure pot, the same coffee beans, the same water temperature, the same amount of water, the same brewing time, different people can almost copy the same cup of coffee, which is beyond the reach of hand brewing and siphon brewing methods, so it is also the most recommended method for beginners to learn.

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

The French pressure pot is the simplest of all coffee brewing equipment, and the extraction rate is also closest to the brewing method of coffee cup products, which can give full play to all kinds of monosodium glutamate in coffee, such as oil composition, aroma, flavor and so on. smooth, sweet, full-bodied taste, is a very good choice for coffee utensils. Therefore, it is also loved by most people.

The French pressure pot is indeed one of the most convenient household coffee pots, and it is also the best way to completely retain the flavor of coffee (it is easy to show the good flavor of coffee and expose the shortcomings of coffee), so it requires high quality and freshness of coffee.

Let's take a look at the simplest way to make coffee in a press pot:

We use a two-person kettle to make coffee for two. The ratio of powder to added water is usually 1: 14: 18. Some pots have a water scale, while others don't. We can measure them with grams. If there is a scale on the kettle, you need to pour water before pouring the coffee powder into it. Only in this way can the ratio of water to water be accurate.

The fineness of coffee powder in ☆ press pot is about the thickness of yellow sugar (coarse grinding), and the thickness is uniform, which is related to the extraction and filtration mode of the kettle, the density of metal filter is low, it is easy to pass through fine powder and hot water to directly contact coffee powder, and it is easy to extract too much after grinding.

Equipment needed: French kettle, hand kettle, bean grinder, thermometer, gram scale, timer, fresh coffee beans, coffee cups.

The operation steps of pressing pot coffee in front street are as follows:

1. Weigh 20g fresh coffee beans.

two。 Usually, the water temperature of pressure can be controlled at 85 ℃, according to the baking degree of beans, the water temperature of shallow baked beans can be a little higher in order to highlight the aroma, and the water temperature of deep baked beans can be lower in order to restrain bitterness, which needs to be controlled according to experience and personal preference.

3. Pour the ground coffee powder into the French kettle.

4. Water injection can be similar to hand-flushing uniform circle water injection.

5. Pour about 300g hot water and the powder / water ratio is about 1:15. As mentioned earlier, the powder ratio of French pressure to water is about 1pur14mur18, which can be adjusted according to personal taste. This kettle has no scale to show we use grams to measure the amount of water. After pouring coffee powder, we weigh it back to zero. In weighing hot water, although there are some errors between the weight and volume of hot water and cold water, this error can be ignored under family conditions.

6. Stir.

7. Put the lid on, do not press the filter down, rest for 4 minutes, the taste will be light for a short time, and the taste will be strong for a long time, so the time is also set according to your own taste.

8. Filter, press the pressure bar, and slowly press down to the bottom of the pot (this action should be slow to prevent the fine powder from passing through the metal strainer, close to the bottom of the pot, do not wait for the pressure to stop).

9. Pour out the coffee and slowly tilt the kettle to prevent the coffee powder at the bottom from floating and affecting the taste.

10. Enjoy the French pot of coffee.

Does the French press pot coffee contain a lot of fat?

Just now Qianjie also said that French pressure pot coffee has more oil than hand-brewed coffee and less than Italian coffee, which is a moderate one.

Italian coffee maker

If you want to extract the oil from the coffee, the Italian coffee machine is the most suitable extraction method, because the Italian coffee machine extracts the coffee liquid through a fixed high pressure, which is not available in other extraction methods, and the extracted oil is the most. It is very suitable for flower extraction, and the taste is very mellow, mostly with coffee beans extracted with the depth of fine grinding.

Mocha pot

Friends who have used the mocha pot know that the coffee extracted by the mocha pot is extremely bitter and can also extract oil, but there is not as much oil as the Italian coffee machine. If the budget is not enough, but want to drink the coffee oil, the mocha pot is a good choice, mostly extracted with finely ground and deeply roasted coffee beans.

French pressure kettle

If you want to extract oil from the kettle, you must use coffee beans that are deeply roasted with medium grinding. the oil extracted from the kettle will not be very much, but the characteristic of the kettle is simple and convenient. If you want to drink a cup of coffee with grease quickly and easily, then the kettle is a good choice.

Qianjie coffee brewing suggestion:

Whether it is hand-brewed, French-pressed or Italian-style, as long as it is your favorite taste, it is delicious. Qianjie believes that any way of brewing requires fresh coffee beans. Qianjie has always believed that the freshness of coffee beans has a great relationship with the flavor of coffee, so the coffee beans shipped in Qianjie coffee are roasted within 5 days. The purpose of Qianjie roasting is "freshly roasted coffee", so that every guest who places an order is the freshest coffee when he receives it. The bean cultivation period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so when the guest gets it, it is the time when the flavor is the best.

For those who need to be ground, Qianjie warmly reminds you that if the coffee beans are ground in advance, there is no need to raise the beans, because in the process of transportation, the pressure caused by carbon dioxide in the package can also make the coffee flavor round. so you can drink a cup of coffee as soon as you receive the coffee powder. But the coffee powder needs to be brewed in time, because the coffee powder oxidizes more quickly after contact with the air, that is to say, the flavor of the coffee will dissipate more quickly, and the flavor of the coffee is not so good. Therefore, Qianjie suggests buying whole beans, grinding and flushing now, so that we can better taste the flavor of coffee.
