Many people like to buy their own coffee beans, use bean grinders, buy equipment to brew coffee, they will choose their own convenient filtration method,"hand-brewed coffee" this magical drink, because everyone brews out the taste is different, so drink unique and personal style. As long as the filter paper, filter cup and hand brew pot are prepared, it is easy to brew a good cup of coffee. Coffee filter paper is used in follicular coffee, which can evenly and fully soak the extracted coffee essence, thus obtaining a purer coffee taste.

Bleached filter paper vs unbleached filter paper:

Coffee filter paper is mostly made of wood, and most of the pulp color after wood cooking is brown, which can be turned white after several bleaching processes.

The difference between bleached and unbleached coffee filter paper is as follows:

1, bleaching: refers to the coffee filter paper after bleaching treatment, filter paper looks more white.

2, no bleaching: refers to coffee filter paper has not been bleached, filter paper looks close to light brown.

Simply put, filter paper is generally used to drip coffee, grind coffee beans, coffee powder, extract coffee liquid filter into the cup, filter paper can also filter the fat of coffee, get a clean coffee solution, good filter paper can filter out impurities, coffee drink more alcohol, aroma is more obvious.

Advantages: high convenience, disposable, can also change the brand; rushed out of the taste is relatively clean; impurities less miscellaneous smell.

Disadvantages: less environmentally friendly use of paper; non-bleached paper will have paper smell; oil will be filtered out, resulting in coffee taste without grease feeling, get a cleaner taste. Daily brewing| Share experiences, make a cup of coffee with balanced taste and fat extraction method

While we've been comparing bleached and unbleached coffee filters, that's not the only difference between filter papers. The quality of the filter paper is also important to keep the coffee apparatus clean and good filtration flow rate. It sounds easy to say here, but the impact is really big.

In addition, be sure to select filter paper that fits the cup size and pay attention to thickness and density-too thin and thin filter paper will allow water to flow through faster, while too thick and dense filter paper will filter out more coffee fat (such as Chemex).

Does that mean you have to rinse the filter paper? Wash? Or not? This is a problem…

For beginners, a set of practices is to fold filter paper, wash filter paper, warm filter cup, anyway, just do it, but some Japanese old drivers, is not washing filter paper, so can not imagine "why must wash filter paper?"

1. Consideration of removing pulp taste:

In fact, the above description of bleaching non-bleaching filter paper, pulp filter paper because it has not been rinsed, wood pulp flavor is still very strong, so wash filter paper. The bleaching filter paper, residual paper taste and bleaching taste are adapted to the brand, and the high-quality filter paper can indeed be processed to be very clean, and there is little difference between washing and not washing.

2. Consideration of fit with filter cup:

Washing the filter paper helps improve the fit of the filter cup, helps to fit the rib design of the filter cup and the brewing principle, but in most cases, the fit of the filter paper and the filter cup is worse than that of the preheated pre-washing.

3, filter paper absorption coffee oil and initial extract considerations:

If the filter paper is not rinsed, the filter paper will absorb some of the water and oil during steaming, and bring out some suspicious odors. Therefore, for the sake of the integrity of the extraction flavor, it is more appropriate to rinse the filter paper.

Our front street cafe still prefer this KONO coffee filter paper drip filter hand-washed filter paper, as long as it is conical filter cup are applicable oh, whether it is harioV60 filter cup or KONO filter cup can be used, and Japan imported KONO filter paper medium texture, not thin nor thick, water filtration medium strong, water injection and filter cup fit is very ideal.

[Brewing Method]:

Filter cup: Hario V60

Water temperature: 90 degrees

Abrasion: Small Fuji Abrasion 3.5

Cooking method: water-powder ratio 1:15, 15g powder, first injection of 25g water, stewing for 25s, second injection to 120g water, water cut off, wait for the powder bed water to drop to half, then inject water slowly until 225g water, extraction time about 2:00

Analysis: Three-stage brewing, clear coffee before, during and after the flavor. Because V60 has many ribs, the drainage speed is faster, and the extraction time can be prolonged when the water is cut off, so that the nutty and chocolate flavor of the tail section can be better extracted.

Flavor: Various layers, overall clean, plum, honey, brown sugar, orange blossom, white chocolate, sweet, soft fruit acid, round and full, lasting finish.

[KONO Hand Charge]:

Filter cup: KONO filter cup

Water temperature: 89 degrees

Polishing degree: Small Fuji Polishing degree 4

Cooking method: water-powder ratio 1:15, 16g powder, first injection of 30g water, stewing for 30s, second injection to 234g water, extraction time about 2:05 s

Analysis: The ribs at the bottom of the KONO cup are not many, and the filter paper is attached to the filter cup to achieve the purpose of limiting the airflow, so that the water and coffee powder can have a longer contact soaking time in the filter cup to ensure the extraction time and extraction rate of coarse grinding. This allows the coffee powder to be fully extracted, enhances the mellow taste, and makes the taste more concentrated.

Flavor: High balance, plum, brown sugar flavor, soft fruit acidity, with fruit fermentation flavor, overall clean, thick and solid taste, lasting dark chocolate finish.

To brew a good cup of hand-brewed coffee, many variables need to be grasped. Filter paper is a variable, and there are also variables such as water quality, water injection amount, drip rate, coffee grinding degree, etc. You need to grasp each variable and adjust constantly so as to finally find the kind of experience that your taste buds need_
