Several skills of brewing coffee in a follicular hand pot

Hand pot

There are several important points in choosing a hand pot.

1. Water column size and stability

When shopping around coffee utensils, we often see a thin and long spout of the hand pot, and the shape of the kettle body is often narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The slender spout and the pointed decoration of the outlet provide a thin and stable flow, the upper width and lower narrow make the water output stable, but also increase the flexible control of the water column. Why emphasize thin and stable water column? Just as you need a bean grinder that can provide uniform particles and precise size control when playing with espresso, fine water column kettles usually provide good water column size control. Only with such a good resolution can the follicular technology be brought into play to the limit. The interesting thing about the follicle is to use a freely controlled column of water to watch the development of coffee powder interact with it in this circle.

From the above point of view, how can we find a good and suitable tool around us when there is no money to buy a hand pot? The water column of the old man's teapot is really fine and suitable, but it only has enough water to make you a cup of coffee. If there is an unwanted stainless steel pot around you, although its effluent has a diameter of about one centimeter, you can also use pliers to squeeze it into a more suitable aperture.

If there is a flower teapot or other pot around, although the amount of water is a little large, you can still make good coffee. You can first evenly pour a circle of hot water on the powder, in this way of steaming, let the coffee be fully extracted, and then make it.

What if all you have is a cream pot or a glass pot with only a V-shaped tip? You can still play hand flushing, but because the water output of this tool is large and difficult to control, you can use several watering methods to play. It's like steaming once with water. Wait a minute, drench again. You can make a good cup of coffee three or four times.

All kinds of utensils can be used as hand pots, the only difference lies in the resolution and stability of the effluent. We just have to grasp the concept of how long the water stays in the coffee and the extraction of the coffee powder, so that it can be adjusted according to different appliances.

two。 Effluent position

In addition to the slender spout, the spout also has a very special shape. This is to control the position of the water, when making coffee, the height of the water column will affect the impact of the water on the coffee. The higher the outlet, it often produces a strong impact, in which case it takes skill to make a good cup of coffee. So after actually using the hand pot utensils you can find, you can also evaluate its effluent height. The utensils that provide you with water from the lower the coffee powder, but also provide more space for you to play with hand flushing.

3. The degree of flexibility to use

The uniformity of the column of water around this circle is also important. If your pot makes it easier for you to hold it and use your wrist, it will help you to inject water evenly. Uniform water injection helps you to evenly extract coffee, and it also has a lot to do with the balance of coffee taste.
