Use the hand brewing device at hand, but you can't get the flavor of the coffee; you spend money on a lot of hand brewing equipment, but none of them is suitable for you. Once you buy the wrong hand flushing device, you are the wrong guy! The basic six items of hand-brewed coffee are equipped with "bean grinder, hand pot, filter cup, filter paper, thermometer and electronic scale". Want to buy a pair of "hand flushing equipment"?

grinder dosers

Hand made. Want the best flavor? Then your first step must be fresh grinding! Bean grinders are divided into two categories: manual and electric. In principle, both manual and electric can adjust the fineness of seeds. Coffee, like cooking, can be fried, boiled, fried or fried. The size of the coffee beans will be adjusted according to our processing methods.

Hand Grinder-Easy to start, affordable

Add to the joy of brewing coffee by grinding it yourself before drinking it. Since there is less electric way, the price is of course close to the people. Manual rotation is more time-consuming and laborious. The material of the hand-operated bean grinder should pay special attention to the selection. For wooden bean grinders, due to the relatively difficult cleaning relationship, the oil of the coffee beans themselves will accumulate in the sun and the moon, gradually affecting the flavor.

Buying advice is "glass, plastic, stainless steel" as the direction, easy to clean, so that every time you can taste the most delicious.

What kind of person is the hand grinder suitable for?

"Beginner of hand washing, frequent traveler, traveler."

Electric Bean Grinder-Advanced Master, Higher Price

If you already have a passion for hand-brewed coffee, a necessity in your life, then you should buy an electric grinder! Electric is divided into propeller type, cone knife, flat knife, ghost tooth knife. Propeller type (commonly known as bean-chopping machine) is not recommended for everyone to buy this machine. The way of cutting beans is very uneven. The thickness of each knife is different. The grinding temperature is higher. Under these shortcomings, the price is of course cheaper. The flat knife is sliced, and the aroma is very sufficient when it is washed by hand. The conical knife is ground into blocks, and the taste will be more complicated. The ghost tooth knife grinds each bean evenly, round and spherical. The grinding process temperature is lower, the price is certainly less friendly to the people.

The purchase suggestion is to "ghost teeth, flat knife" as the direction, when the hand will be more prominent bean flavor. Pick mouth and high budget friends can choose ghost teeth; pick mouth but low budget can choose flat knife.

[Hand washed heavy drinkers, heavy users.]

Hand flushing kettle

Hand-washing pot style is varied, in fact, there is no too much influence, according to personal preferences can be selected. What really matters is "spout, caliber, capacity, and insulation", the first two directly affect how easy it is to control the flow of water, the capacity affects the powder-to-water ratio, and the temperature affects the flavor of the coffee.

Cheat Pot-Super Beginner

With a cheat pot, you don't have to worry about anything! It didn't matter if he couldn't control his hand shake. With it, he still flowed out with a steady flow. Whether you are using continuous injection or drip, with this extremely high water control ability artifact, let the novice among the novice are easy to control.

Slimming Kettle-Beginner

Before you learn how to control the flow of water, it is best for beginners to use "thin spout, consistent caliber". When the fine spout pot is brewed by hand, it has a stable flow rate, so that the quality of the coffee brewed is maintained at a certain level. The purchase suggestion is to use the direction of "diameter of less than 5mm, shape of large waves" as the direction, easy to control the flow of water, but also to retain the full flavor of coffee beans.

Crane Mouth Kettle-Master Style

Due to the large diameter, the controllable degree of water flow thickness is relatively high. Whether it's a big stream or a small stream, it's all in your hands. It can be matched with water temperature, water injection level and water flow size to make coffee flavor more layered. It takes a long time to practice using a crane-billed pot.

filter bowl

There are many different filter cups developed in the market, and each dish has its own good. The key point is that the filter cup affects the "flow rate and extraction time", and the filter cup pattern affects the extraction condition. If you can understand the characteristics of the filter cup in your hand, you can control the taste and flavor of your hand brewed coffee!

Conical filter bowl (V60)-highest market share

Cone has a very fast flow rate, water injection skills should pay special attention, especially in the construction of coffee wall this is important. If the water injection is not good, it will lead to insufficient coffee extraction and over-extraction. The coffee flavor using conical filter cups is brighter, lighter and cleaner.

Trapezoidal Filter Cup (Fan Filter Cup)-Advanced Master

The market is mainly divided into one hole, two holes, three holes, due to the small opening, the relative flow rate is also relatively slow. The number of holes will affect the speed of flow, but it is generally slower than the conical filter cup. Also because of the slow flow rate, there is enough extraction, brewing flavor will be thicker, over-extraction will have a heavier bitter feeling.

Wave filter cup (cake filter cup)-easiest to get started

It's a rookie. It's perfect! The special design of filter paper wave replaces the high flow rate caused by ordinary filter paper too close to the filter cup. The flat design of filter cup bottom can make coffee even during extraction. Brewed coffee bean flavor, with the best balance of proportions. The biggest drawback may be that the filter paper is too expensive, one is about twice the price of ordinary filter paper.

Metal filter cups-environmental first

filter paper

It is used to extract coffee beans and get good coffee! The main function of filter paper will be to bring out the "bright sour feeling" of coffee, and a good filter paper can also filter out impurities, making the whole coffee taste more fragrant and good.

Filter paper (bleached, non-bleached)

Mainly divided into bleaching, no bleaching, the main difference lies in the filter paper smell heavy or light. Bleaching filter paper has no smell of paper, most people have health concerns about bleaching filter paper, and today's bleaching filter paper is bleached with acids and enzymes, which will not affect health. When using non-bleaching filter paper, it is recommended to wet the filter paper first to effectively remove the filter paper smell, and the brewed coffee will not have the flavor that does not belong to coffee. Advantages are convenience, less impurities, clean flavor, disadvantages are less environmentally friendly, coffee has no grease feeling.

metal screen

The use has the advantages that the coffee bean oil can be retained, the layer performance is better, and environmental protection, reusable and low consumption rate are achieved. The disadvantage is that it is easy to pour fine coffee powder into coffee, and too much fine powder will directly affect the taste and flavor of coffee and it is not easy to clean.

flannel cloth

The coffee washed out of the filter cloth has the advantages of filter paper and metal filter, but the disadvantage is that it is not easy to clean and requires skill in use. If the cleaning is not accurate, it will leave coffee oil residue, affecting the coffee flavor after each brewing.

thermometer

Water temperature control is also a major factor affecting brewing. Do you have great sensitivity to temperature difference? Decide whether you want to choose a pointer or a digital thermometer. However, it is generally recommended to buy a digital thermometer directly!

pointer

If you are a person with a high tolerance for temperature differences, use a pointer thermometer. The disadvantage is that it is not easy to observe, it is difficult to see the temperature changes; if you are still in a more unstable temperature environment, the pointer type cannot be changed immediately, which will make your water temperature inaccurate.

digital

The advantage is that the display panel is large, the temperature difference changes instantly, if you are a friend who requires fast and convenient, then you should use a digital thermometer! The disadvantage is that the battery needs to be replaced, and the poor quality is easy to break.

electronic scale

If you have a certain understanding of coffee brewing, you will find that powder and water are more important than time! Accurate weighing and timing are all part of the process of making coffee. When selecting, it is recommended that the minimum scale can reach 0.1 g. In addition, you can choose whether to charge according to your own use needs.

Baking Scale

The price of using this instrument is cheap, but the accuracy is poor.

Timing

This is a combination of weighing and time, if the first contact with hand coffee can be used as an option.

Special purpose for hand punching

This section has more functions in line with hand flushing, and is more suitable for people who specialize in hand flushing and train them to use.
