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 Philharmonic coffee beans, Philharmonic pressure is very good at showing the flavor of Philharmonic coffee beans.

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 which looks like a medical device has a strange charm.

The necessary knowledge of using Philharmonic pressure

As mentioned earlier, the operation mode of Philharmonic pressure is too simple, but as long as it is to make coffee, there is always something to pay attention to.

In short, like other coffee brewing, you still need to pay attention to the water temperature. Boiling water will make the coffee beans bitter, so you must use hot water instead of boiling water. In order to reach the proper temperature, you can boil the water and let it stand for about one minute before using it. If you want to be more accurate, I recommend 90 degrees, while Philharmonic pressure officially recommends 80 degrees.

In addition, you have to use freshly roasted premium Philharmonic coffee beans, even with a cheap blade grinder. Grind to a medium scale similar to that of hand-brewed coffee, with a thickness about between the fine grinding of espresso and the coarse grinding of French filter pressure. You can refer to the teaching of GOAT CAFE: "if the downpressing is difficult, it means the coffee powder scale is too fine; the downpressing is too easy and fast, which means the scale is too thick, so you can make appropriate adjustments."
