Is the ice pupil filter cup easy to use? What is the difference between the ice pupil filter cup and the V60?

When using different filter cups to brew the same bean, we will obviously find that there will be obvious differences in taste and flavor, because different shapes of filter cups have different coffee powder distribution, water speed, and contact time between powder and water. Even if it is the same type of filter cup, the difference in design will bring different performance! For example, today's protagonist, ice pupil filter cup and V60 filter cup ~ both belong to conical filter cup, but due to the different distribution of ribs, the brewing effect is different, today we will compare, what is the difference between the two!

ice pupil filter cup

Careful observation, the ice pupil filter cup ribs are distributed vertically according to the ladder type, the bottom of the filter cup can present a filter paper overhead appearance, and at the top of the filter cup and filter paper is a completely sealed state. One advantage of this design is that, because the filter paper at the upper end is in a completely sealed state, if the water flow is too much at once during brewing, the water temperature is too high to submerge the guide groove, there is no exhaust space, and the water level drops slowly. Instead, it is soaked like a KONO filter cup to avoid insufficient extraction.

V60

In the heart of Xiaobian, V60 is basically an artifact! The design of V60 filter cup focuses on the speed of water level drop, so that coffee powder particles can reach a better extraction flow rate. The internal ribs adopt curved vortex structure design to assist in speeding up the water flow, extending from the bottom to the top, so that the exhaust effect can be maintained smoothly from beginning to end. The curved ribs increase the water flow path to increase the contact time between coffee particles and water.

brewing contrast

Xiao Bian today used [Washing Ye Jia Xue Fei Woka] to make this comparison!

In order to achieve the greatest possible experimental consistency, our grinding degree, water temperature, powder-water ratio and brewing method are basically consistent.

Flavor contrast

V60 filter cup, can clearly feel jasmine flower fragrance, the entrance is bright citric acid, sugar sweet feeling and green tea aftertaste, rich flavor layers, there is a lemon green tea feeling!

Woka, which was brewed using an ice pupil filter cup, had a round taste when it was hot and a slightly astringent taste when it was cold. With bergamot, honeysuckle and a slight aroma of grass, the tail is a slight green tea feeling, grapefruit peel like bitter sweet, sweet lasting.

summary

The ice pupil filter cup was indeed as legendary as it was. The filter paper was very suitable and was quite friendly to OCD. After several times, I feel that the design of the ice pupil filter cup will be somewhat similar to the KONO filter cup. It is mainly an immersion extraction, which is also easy for beginners to use. The coffee brewed with ice pupil filter cup has good performance in balance and taste, the aroma is more restrained, the fly in the ointment is weaker than V60 in flavor level.

Because of its design and fast flow rate, V60 filter cup is easy to separate in the extraction process, so it can better show the flavor level of a cup of coffee, the taste is clear and transparent, but the stability is not high, the flow rate is easy to lead to uneven extraction, and the mellow degree is general.
