Full-bodied and mellow are the characteristics of the French pressure pot, some people think that there is too much miscellaneous flavor, but in fact, the taste of the successful French filter pressure pot should be very pure. The device of the French filter kettle includes a long glass and a lid with a filter screen. It should be noted that the French autoclave is easy to over-extract, so it is best to pour the coffee out of the autoclave immediately after the extraction is complete.

French filter kettle (French Press), also known as French pressure, can guess which country the inventor came from from its name. Because of its simple operation and no need for consumables such as filter paper, it is almost a necessary coffee prop for families in Europe and the United States. The common French pressure is mostly made of glass and stainless steel, the former is affordable, the latter is good thermal insulation effect.

Compared with hand-brewed coffee, the coffee extracted from French filter kettle retains rich oil and has a thick and round taste. If you prefer clean flavor, you can use a very fine mesh screen to sift the coffee powder first and then cook it, so as to reduce the miscellaneous smell caused by the over-extraction of fine powder. In fact, French pressure is not only used to make coffee, but also can be used to brew tea or make fresh milk bubbles and other functions. Cleaning is convenient and no consumables are needed, so there is no reason not to own it!

According to the characteristics of the kettle, the main factors that affect the flavor are as follows: the grinding thickness of coffee powder, the soaking time and the temperature of hot water.

Step 1

Boil about 400 ml of water.

Step 2

Grind beans while boiling water, French filter kettle needs thicker particles. It is generally recommended that the ratio of coffee powder to water is about 40 grams of coffee beans for 10400 milliliters of water.

Step 3

Put the filter kettle on the electronic scale and add coffee powder. Start with twice as much water as the coffee beans. For example, 40 grams of coffee beans need about 80 grams of water at this time.

Step 4

Gently stir the coffee powder back and forth with a wooden stirring spoon or chopsticks, a bit like rowing when boating. At this point, the coffee powder will begin to expand, and the process will take about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Wait for the coffee powder to expand, add the remaining water and close the lid. Don't press down the strainer at this time, wait four minutes. Four minutes. No less.

Step 6

Remove the filter kettle from the electronic scale, and then slowly press the filter down. The force required for downpressing is about 7-9 kilograms, if the resistance encountered is too small, the coffee powder particles are too thick; if the resistance is too large, the coffee powder particles are too fine.

After the filter is pressed to the bottom, the coffee must be poured out immediately, otherwise it will cause excessive coffee extraction.

Step 7

Come on, enjoy the delicious coffee.
