Hand-brewed coffee, as the mainstream brewing method of fine coffee today, is the love of many "coffee powder" people. Hand brewed coffee has always been known for its ability to produce coffee with distinct layers of taste before, during and after a few simplified steps. Siphon coffee, by contrast, is so understated that many people think it's a pompous version of hand-brewed coffee.

The difference between the two can now be described briefly in the following points:

1. There are differences in filtering

Making hand-brewed coffee requires filter cups, filter papers, small mouth pots and other appliances, while making siphon coffee requires siphon pots, alcohol lamps or light wave ovens and other appliances.

2. There are differences in extraction methods

Hand brewed coffee uses filtration extraction; siphon coffee uses immersion extraction.

3. There are differences in extraction time

The approximate extraction time of hand-brewed coffee will be 2 minutes and 30 to 45 seconds (of course, there are more than 4 minutes of "drip method"); while the extraction time of siphon coffee is at least 2 minutes shorter than that of hand-brewed coffee, usually lasting 50 seconds to 60 seconds.

4. Differences in flavor and taste

Due to the unique extraction method, siphon coffee will taste more fragrant than hand-brewed coffee, which should be related to the filter paper that will filter out part of the oil, if you use filter cloth to hand flush, you can improve the thickness.

Hand rush is in power, the front is unstoppable, the biggest charm of hand rush lies in the ability to drink a variety of other flavors of coffee recognized by ordinary people, fruit acid or strong taste, rich and multi-layered, before, after taste are very obvious.

Siphon coffee can best show the original flavor, aroma, sour taste and bitterness of coffee, highlighting the taste difference between different single coffee products, with rich taste, mellow taste and high alcohol degree.

Siphon to mellow thick good, hand red to elegant sweet sour fragrance, known for variety, each has its own merits.
