In so many different capacities, materials and other different characteristics of hand punching pots, how to choose? The following will be for you to sort out a few points for attention when shopping, please measure it according to your preferences and needs.

Choose the appropriate spout and caliber according to grade or preference.

The shape of the spout and caliber will affect the difficulty of controlling hot water. Therefore, in addition to match your own level of ability, don't forget to choose the spout and caliber that are suitable for the taste of coffee.

A "thin-nosed pot" suitable for beginners

In order to make it easy for beginners to control the amount of hot water flowing out, products with a fine spout and consistent caliber will be a better choice. With a spout with the same caliber, hot water can be injected more steadily and slowly, so that the taste and quality of coffee can be maintained at a certain level. If you want to see the amount of hot water more clearly, don't forget to choose a caliber as sharp as an injection needle.

Medium and high-end "crane mouth pot"

The caliber of the crane mouth pot is in the shape of the crane mouth, and the root is thick, and the hot water outflow can be controlled through the tilt angle, which is very suitable for middle and high-level people to use. Although it is difficult to control, it can make more changes in the taste of coffee. Among them, it is easier to use the spout with high and low drop.

Recommended capacity selection

It is best not to use both large and small hand-made pots. Too heavy styles are more difficult to control the flow of hot water. If you are not careful, you may get hot water on filter paper or even pour it out, so it is recommended to buy the appropriate capacity with the amount of coffee you usually drink. It is suitable for 700ml capacity when brewing 1 cup to 2 cups, and about 1L hand pot is recommended for 3 cups and 4 cups.

If you come into contact with the fire, you should choose a material with good heat conduction.

Generally speaking, the material of hand punching pot can be divided into "stainless steel", "copper" and "enamel". If you want to use gas furnace directly, it is recommended to choose a material with better thermal conductivity. Although enamel has the worst thermal conductivity, people who want to flush slowly can consider it because of their good heat preservation ability. Copper is the best heat conductor, but more difficult to maintain is a big problem. In addition, if you want to use the induction cooker or IH cooker, be sure to make sure that the material of the hand punch pot corresponds to the machine.

The right grip is better controlled.

It is very important to choose the handle that suits your habit, because the hand is the most laborious when injecting hot water, and you must maintain a certain posture. If the grip is not smooth, it may cause hand fatigue and unable to pour hot water accurately.

Also, don't forget to choose a grip that is not easy to get hot. Whether it is made of wood, rubber or metal, you should choose a style that has holes to dissipate heat or is far away from the kettle body, so that it will be safer.

Convenient features suitable for use habits

In addition to the basic style, there are also many products with special convenience functions on the market. For example, the style of the quick-boiled pot can not only be used everywhere, but also save time; the style with an additional thermometer can quickly and easily grasp the appropriate temperature; and those who want to make stable quality coffee more easily can choose a machine with the function of temperature control. In addition, the goods that can be washed with the dishwasher are also very good. You can first imagine the situation when you use it, and then choose your favorite style according to your preference.
