I do not know why the winners of both international and domestic Philharmonic pressure competitions use reverse pressure, but I would like to emphasize that according to the design of Philharmonic pressure.

Standard usage of Philharmonic pressure:

The use of Philharmonic pressure you may have heard of positive pressure and reverse pressure, I do not know why international or domestic Philharmonic pressure competition champions use reverse pressure, but I would like to emphasize that, according to the design principle of Philharmonic pressure, reverse pressure is not the original intention of the design, I am more willing to guess that it is for intuitive quantification and gives birth to reverse pressure.

Positive pressure: refers to the filter with filter paper, the knob on the barrel body, the Philharmonic pressure on the sharing pot or cup.

Then you can simply think of it as a hand filter cup, then put in the coffee powder, and then add hot water.

When adding hot water, you can use a method similar to hand flushing, first steaming and then circling, or you can put all the hot water in. How much hot water you can add can see the scale of the bucket or put it on the scale to read the data. after the water injection is finished, you can choose to stir it gently or violently with the attached mixing rod according to the different techniques.

According to the method of stirring, there will be many different ways to use beans according to the way they are cooked.

After stirring, buckle the pressure bucket into the barrel body, gently or violently press down vertically.

Note: if the sharing pot below is relatively inferior, it is extremely easy to crush, and it is recommended to use a mug.

Reverse pressure: the pressure bucket is squeezed into the empty barrel body to adjust to the desired scale, with the pressure barrel as the bottom, and then the steps are similar to the positive pressure method.

Screw buckle with filter paper filter, gently push down to squeeze out excess air, hold coffee easily upside down on top of the filter, quickly flip down pressure.

Compared with positive pressure, the amount of water and powder can be calculated more intuitively when there is not enough experience and no aids. During positive pressure water injection, some of the water will leak first, which is similar to the filter cup. If you add stirring to accelerate dripping, it may be more difficult to control gouache, and the reverse action is also easier to attract attention.

Why is it said that the original intention of the design of Philharmonic pressure is for positive pressure? In fact, we can see the following points:

The mixing piece of the Philharmonic pressure can reach into the length of the barrel body, no matter which angle can not touch the bottom of the filter paper, the reverse pressure will touch the rubber washer SOEASY.

1. The push of the Philharmonic pressure requires some strength. We know that compressed air is easier than compressed liquid, and positive pressure will inevitably leave part of the air. For people with less strength, slowly push and squeeze the air. Then using the rebound of the air to push the coffee filter is a more energy-saving way. Reverse pressure has an exhaust step, so it directly acts on the liquid and requires more force.

2. When the barrel is upside down, the external force on the coffee suspension is strong, and it has an unpredictable effect on the extraction. Sometimes the stirring extraction is just right, and the result is reversed and over-extracted, and the positive pressure obviously does not exist this problem.

3. During the positive pressure, the filter at the bottom of the coffee suspension is flat, while the bottom of the reverse pressure is a rubber gasket. Due to its sealing requirements, the rubber gasket will not be a plane, and there will be a height difference between the middle and the surrounding, either a hillside or a pit. Of course, it is a bit exaggerated. In fact, this consequence will make it easy for beginners to extract unevenly, and often some people don't squeeze the air over to take a look, okay? The coffee powder is glued to the rubber mat. What do you think this coffee tastes like?

4. To tell you a little secret, pressing the bucket can be used as an emergency hand flushing pot. Try pouring water if you don't believe it. Reverse pressure? Reverse pressure what should I do without a hand-flushing pot? Or the thermos can be poured directly.

Other uses of Philharmonic pressure:

1 、 Fresh Juice

2. Simple ice droplets

3. Simple cold bubble

4. Cupping? It might be painful.

5. Other strange uses are welcome to add.
