Where does the Philharmonic pressure come from?

In 2005, Alan Adler, an engineer, physicist and lecturer at Stanford University, found that he really didn't have the patience to use the troublesome plug-in coffee pot and didn't even want to spend four minutes making coffee by hand, so he came up with this strange-looking device that could quickly brew delicious coffee, and because of a layer of filter paper, it could filter out excess impurities and make coffee with clean flavor. And will not like the French filter cup bottom sediment or produce bitter taste. So he decided to go into mass production and succeeded in making it popular among coffee lovers. Now you can find it in some coffee shops and on the Internet in Taiwan.

The principle and structure of Philharmonic pressure

The Philharmonic pressure combines the soaking extraction method of the French filter pressure pot, the filter paper filtration of the hand-brewed coffee and the Italian pressure extraction. After mixing the coffee powder with hot water, squeeze the air with the pressure cylinder and penetrate the filter cover to extract the coffee with clean flavor. If you use more fine coffee powder and reduce the amount of water, you can also make a good espresso!

Its structure can be simply divided into three parts: kettle body, filter cover and piston cylinder, which need to be used with filter paper or metal filter. In addition, funnel, measuring spoon, mixing rod and other convenient operation will be attached.

Six reasons why you will fall in love with the Philharmonic pressure

1. First of all, compared with other cooking methods, the Philharmonic is much more approachable. Unlike French filter pots, it's best to use a zigzag bean grinder to avoid uneven thickness affecting the taste; unlike hand coffee, you don't need any special skills, just pour water and press!

two。 Its price is not expensive at all. The whole set of Philharmonic pressure plus a copy of filter paper can be started at about NT $1000. In addition, there is a special metal filter screen to replace the filter paper, the pore is large, so it will not completely isolate the coffee grounds, but the fine residue produces a richer flavor, but also saves costs and gives consideration to environmental protection.

3. Lightweight and durable, the plastic material is not afraid of breaking, so it is a good choice when traveling.

4. The brewing process is very fast. It doesn't take much time to soak or slowly inject water, the author says. As long as the water boils, he can make a cup of coffee in about 60 seconds.

5. Philharmonic pressure can make coffee with excellent flavor, and the flavor is clear and clean. If you are interested in tasting the interesting flavor differences between different types of coffee, Philharmonic pressure is very good at showing the flavor of coffee.

6. Last but not least, its cleaning method is extremely simple. If it is a French filter pot, you have to dig up the coffee grounds and then wash the residue. Philharmonic pressure only needs to turn the filter cover away to take out the complete coffee cake like pressed powder, and then simply rinse it.

So does Philharmonic have any drawbacks? Yes, it can only make one or two cups of coffee at a time, so it is not suitable for brewing for a large group of people. Of course, its appearance is not attractive at all, but this plastic tube that looks like a medical device has a strange charm.
