Why is it called the smart cup? how to use the coffee bean recommended cooking parameters coffee bean flavor

As one of the hand filter cups, the smart filter cup is not only widely recognized internationally, but also designated by many boutique coffee shops. because of its simple mode of operation, every beginner can easily use it to make a good cup of coffee for himself at home. It is also very convenient for cleaning after use, which is like one of the necessary coffee brewing utensils at home.

The design of the smart cup is inspired by HandyBrew, another EK INTL product used to make tea, and immersion extraction is its biggest highlight. The smart cup can usually be divided into two layers, the outer layer is the frame supporting the filter cup, and the inner layer is the cup body with press switch valve. As long as it is laid flat on the table, the valve will be closed, the coffee liquid will not flow down, and the powder will be soaked. When the immersion is complete, the middle of the chassis is pressed, prompting the piston valve to open and allow the coffee liquid to flow into the container.

Compared with the direct trickling filter cup such as v60, the smart cup has more function of immersion extraction, which is to keep the water and coffee powder in contact with each other in the container. The soaking style is less affected by water injection, and it is easier for beginners to copy the basic flavor of coffee. The flavor substances will change the flavor and concentration of coffee with the water temperature, the ratio of powder to water, the thickness of grinding degree and the time of soaking.

It can be said that the smart cup has the advantages of both French filter kettle and hand filter cup, which can not only provide a complete soaking environment of French filter kettle, but also take into account the filtering function of hand filter cup. The use of the smart cup can be very simple, just spread a piece of filter paper on it, pour the coffee powder in, then pour in enough hot water, wait a few minutes, put the smart bar on the mug, and the coffee liquid will flow out automatically. It's very convenient. Let's share the process of making coffee from a smart cup in the front street.

① folds the filter paper into the smart cup and puts the smart cup on the container. When the filter paper is wet with hot water, the appliance can be preheated at the same time.

② moves the smart cup to the electronic scale (when the valve closes automatically) and pours 15g of ground coffee powder into the center of the filter cup. The ratio of coffee to water on the front street is 1:15. Grind: medium grinding (75% pass rate of Chinese standard No. 20 screen). Set the water temperature to 94 ℃, pour 225g of hot water, close the lid, and wait 4 minutes.

After soaking, move the smart cup to the container and open the valve to filter out the coffee liquid in the filter cup, so that the coffee made by the smart cup is finished.

What kind of coffee beans are more suitable for smart cups? In fact, smart cups are the same as coffee beans, which are mostly brewed coffee utensils. Hand-made coffee beans can also be used in smart cups. The degree of grinding of coffee can be the same as that recommended by hand or slightly thicker. Qianjie likes to be rougher than hand grinding, with a pass rate of 75% with No. 20 standard screen.

Those who like floral, citrus and other fresh flavors can choose Ethiopia's Yejasuefei, Guji's washed coffee beans, and Panama's Rosa coffee beans. If you like the sweetness of fruit, you can choose Costa Rican honey-processed coffee. Those who like nut chocolate can choose coffee beans from Brazil and Papua New Guinea.
