I always thought it looked cool to brew coffee with flannel filter cloth, so today Qianjie Coffee is going to use flannel filter cloth to make a pot of Blue Mountain ~ so the problem is, if you use flannel filter cloth, how much should you choose to grind? Is it the same as the usual grinding degree when using kono filter cup to wash Blue Mountain?

Flannel filter cloth

By Front Street Coffee

Background knowledge of flannel filter cloth hand-made coffee:

Flannel filter hand brewed coffee (Nel drip) tastes mellow, thick and incredibly sweet, reminiscent of sweet wine. It is not easy to brew good coffee in this way. Too fast water injection, too high water temperature, and immature techniques will degrade the flavor of coffee.

one

The brand new flannel filter cloth must be removed, soaked in boiling water for 5 minutes, and then placed on the metal ring.

two

Grind beans while soaking the filter cloth. It is recommended to grind the coffee beans into a thickness between white sugar and fine sugar.

three

Dry the filter cloth, twist it by hand, and then put the filter cloth in the middle of a clean dry towel to absorb dry.

four

Rinse with hot water, preheat the filter cloth and drip filter, and then pour out the water.

five

Pour the coffee powder loosely into the filter cloth without special compaction.

six

Turn the coffee powder with a wooden blender to adjust the shape of the bottom.

seven

When the coffee in the filter cloth drips completely, you can start to enjoy it.

Flannel filter cloth can retain some of the oil esters of coffee because its pores are larger than filter paper, unlike filter paper, which usually filters out all oil esters, so the coffee made with flannel filter cloth is thicker and smoother than filter paper.

Qianjie Coffee found that when brewing, because there was nothing else around the flannel filter cloth, the water in the flannel filter cloth could flow away directly from all sides. And the flow velocity of flannel filter cloth is different from that of flannel filter cloth.

Qianjie Coffee recommended brewing parameters:

Degree of grinding: moderate grinding between V60 filter cup and KONO filter cup; water temperature: 85 ℃; ratio of powder to water: 1: 13; one knife flow

The time of steaming starts and the extraction time is 2: 15 "

Flavor: it smells nutty and creamy, with flavors of milk chocolate, sucrose, vanilla, citrus, mulberry and cream in the mouth.

Summary

By Front Street Coffee

When brewing with flannel filter cloth, the flow rate is relatively fast when the water level is high, but after the water level is lowered, there is a thicker coffee powder wall around it, and the ultra-fine powder will adhere to the mesh of the filter cloth, resulting in a slower flow rate.

Therefore, Qianjie Coffee suggests that when using flannel filter cloth to cook deep-baked beans such as Blue Mountain, we can choose a moderate grinding degree to reduce the occurrence of over-extraction caused by fine coffee powder and slow flow rate during coffee extraction.
