The most fascinating thing about hand-brewing coffee, in addition to the sensory enjoyment of taste, is to appreciate the elegant, persistent and professional display of the staff holding the pot in their hands. Therefore, how to choose a suitable hand punch pot is particularly important. If you want to do good work, you must first "manage" its tools. Therefore, before buying a hand-flushing pot, you should not only measure your own ability and needs, but also understand the structure of various instruments, that is, the characteristics of each hand-flushing pot, so that it is easy to find a sharp weapon that suits you. The following is to share my seven-point experience in making pots for your reference:

1. Appearance: choose your favorite color and be happy to hold it in your hand. The common primary metal colors are stainless steel, copper, or baking paint or enamel, which makes the color more selective.

two。 Heating method: after the hot water is loaded into the hand flushing pot, it needs to be heated if the water temperature is not enough. The commonly used heat sources are induction cookers and gas stoves, but each pot is of different material, so it is recommended to read the instructions carefully before buying.

3. Material thickness, characteristics: this will affect the heat preservation and thermal conductivity of the hand-punching pot. The thicker the material is, the better the thermal insulation is, the better the thermal conductivity is, and the faster the heat dissipation is, but the average temperature speed between the body and neck of the pot will be better.

4. Kettle body: most of the hand punching pots are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the ratio of width to width of the pot body will directly affect the water pressure and stability.

5. Bend the neck of the kettle: every time you go through a turning point when you come out of the water, it will reduce the impulse of water injection and make the flow more flexible. The body and neck of the kettle often match each other, such as the KALITA thin stainless steel kettle (700ml), which is tall and thin, so the neck is designed for nearly 90 degrees double bending, while another KALITA palace fine mouth kettle (900ml) is designed to bend relatively slowly because of its chubby body.

6. The inner diameter of the spout: it is divided into thin mouth and wide mouth, which will affect the water flow, stability and impulse.

7. Spout incision: divided into flat cut type and crane mouth type.

★ fine-mouth pots are all flat-cut, and the flow is easy to control, which is more suitable for beginners to choose, but it also limits the change of water injection techniques, such as KALITA thin-mouth stainless steel kettle (700ml).

☆ crane mouth thin mouth flow is easy to control, water injection methods can be changed, but still need to control the practice, for example: moon rabbit printing hand pot (700ml)

★ wide-mouth flat-cut water flow is large and smooth, while small flow requires more practice, and it is difficult for beginners to control, for example, Moon Rabbit Indo Noda Enamel hand Pot

☆ crane mouth wide mouth type flow is large and concentrated, so it is suitable for large water flow flushing method. For example: KALITA big-billed birdhand flushing pot.

Personally, I think it is a very easy-to-use pot with large capacity, so it is recommended to be used in business stores.

Barista's experience: the neck of the Kalita1L does not rise smoothly, but gradually converges as a triangular streamline from the kettle body to the tip of the mouth, increasing the arc, thus limiting the flow rate of the effluent. The intensity of water injection is much softer than the heroic appearance.

It is suggested that the hand brewing method: it is suitable for the brewing mode of slow infiltration.

Barista's experience: the neck of the Kalita1L does not rise smoothly, but gradually converges as a triangular streamline from the kettle body to the tip of the mouth, increasing the arc, thus limiting the flow rate of the effluent. The intensity of water injection is much softer than the heroic appearance.

Apart from individual extreme hand pots with relatively large spouts, there are probably only a few kinds of pots on the market:

1. Small spout pot (inner diameter 4~5mm), representative: KalitaPOT900 copper kettle, because the spout is thin and long, no matter how the hand shakes or pours the kettle, the flow can be fine and stable, but it also leads to a strong impact force when increasing the amount of water.

two。 Small spout pot (inner diameter above 6mm), representative: Bonavita constant temperature hand punch pot, Bonavita hand punch pot. British imported Strix temperature control system, accurate control of water temperature, positive and negative temperature difference of 1 degree Celsius, professional gooseneck design, more effective control of flow speed, flow and direction, the base with temperature regulation, heat preservation, memory function.

3. Flattened wide mouth spout, representative: enamel porcelain. The advantage is that the water flow of the large water column is flexible, and the thickness of the water flow is more controllable, but it is not easy to control the fine water column, and if the inclination is not well controlled, it is easy to make the water flow out.

4. Wide mouth type crane mouth pot, representative: Taguchi coffee protection master hand brewing pot. The intensity of water injection is much softer than the heroic appearance, and it is suitable to use the brewing way of slow infiltration.

5. Big beaked bird, representative: Kalita coffee enamel pot.

It feels like a sharp-mouthed crane-billed kettle, but can be injected into a larger water column. The characteristic is that the range of water injection is widely used, and different degrees of water output can be applied when brewing coffee powder of different sizes. However, if we want to control it improperly, it is easy to produce the phenomenon of unstable water thickness, and the users are required to have higher brewing skills.

The mouth of the enamel kettle is large, the neck of the kettle is thick and low, and the distance from the kettle body is relatively close, which can not well limit the flow rate of the effluent. If there is a little careless force in use, the water will pour out or cause the flow to stop. Compared with ordinary pots, it is more difficult to control water.

TAKAHIRO

TAKAHIRO is commonly known as cheating pot, the origin is Japan, the effluent is very stable, so even the novice can be as steady as cheating. Generally speaking, hand flushing techniques are divided into fast flushing and slow flushing, fast flushing is generally completed in 2 minutes, slow flushing is generally more than 3 minutes, and continuous and steady water injection and drip are divided into continuous and steady water injection and drip, whether it is steady or drip. all require high water control ability, and the new pot is more handy in controlling water flow, and even beginners are easy to control.

The hand-made pot, which is respected by many coffee professionals, makes me have to be the first to introduce him to you, not only because of its beauty, but also because it was well received as soon as it was launched. Its birth is also very simple, just because of the guest's sentence, "is there no finer hot water to make coffee?", so this ultra-fine-mouthed hand pot was born, unexpectedly elegant and noble, it is simply a sharp weapon of the dining table.

TAKAHIRO comes in many colors and textures, and the most famous is black scrub, because it is so hot that many sellers say it is out of stock in eight seasons of the year.

Puppy imprint

The puppy seal has a hot-proof resin in the handle and the spout is special in shape, so it is also a very popular style in Japan. The puppy seal series was founded in 1951 and is made of 18mur8 stainless steel. It has a certain thickness and has a good texture in the hand. It is also a hot style, and it is also good to be a teapot.
