Homemade coffee analytical siphon pot

Siphon pot (Syphon), commonly known as "glass ball" or "siphon", is a simple and easy-to-use method of coffee brewing, and it is also one of the most popular coffee brewing methods in cafes. Although the siphon pot has the nickname of "plug wind type", it has nothing to do with the siphon principle, but uses water heating to produce water vapor, causing thermal expansion and cold contraction, pushing the hot water from the lower sphere to the upper pot, and then sucking back the water from the upper pot after the lower pot cools-does that sound mysterious? Not at all. Follow the following steps and you will understand!

The basic appliances required for siphon pot coffee are as follows:

A set of siphon pots, alcohol lamps, lighters, bamboo spoons for mixing, dry wet rags

Process:

Step 1: load the water-hook the filter element

Fill the pot with hot water and mark it with the "two cups" icon. Put the filter element into the pot, hold the end of the chain with your hand, and gently hook it to the end of the glass tube. Be careful not to release the hook suddenly, so as not to damage the glass tube of the upper pot.

Step 2: ignite-insert the pot diagonally-wait for a big bubble

Light the alcohol lamp and insert the upper pot obliquely so that the rubber edge is pressed against the spout of the next pot (rest assured that the upper pot will not fall off) so that the chain is soaked in the water. Then boil the water and wait for the pot to produce continuous bubbles. Just put the upper pot diagonally, don't let it clog the next pot, small bubbles don't count, wait for big bubbles to appear.

Step 3: upright-insert into the upper pot

When large bubbles appear continuously in the lower pot, straighten the upper pot, shake it left and right and press it down slightly so that it is gently stuffed into the lower pot. After the upper pot is plugged in, you can see that the water in the next pot begins to climb up, and then begins to grind the beans!

Step 4: let the water in the lower pot rise completely to the upper pot

After the water has completely risen to the upper pot, don't worry, wait a few seconds, and then move the alcohol lamp away from the center of the lower pot and warm the pot at the edge.

Step 5: pour in the coffee powder-stir (left and right)

Pour in the ground coffee powder and gently move it from side to side with a stirring bamboo spoon to evenly remove the coffee powder into the water. The timing starts at the same time as the first stirring.

Stir gently to avoid violent stirring. If it is fresh coffee powder, it will float on the surface to form a layer of powder. At this time, the coffee powder needs to be stirred so that the flavor of the coffee can be completely extracted. The correct stirring action is to move the bamboo spoon in the left and right direction, with a "strong way" of downward pressure, to "press" the coffee powder floating on the surface of the water below the surface.

Step 6: stir twice more-flameout

After the first stirring, time 30 seconds, make the second stirring, and then time 20 seconds for the final stirring-the alcohol lamp can be removed. Take the pre-prepared (wrung-dry) slightly wet dishcloth and gently wrap the side of the lower pot from the side to prevent the wet cloth from touching the place where the alcohol flame at the bottom of the pot comes into contact, so as to prevent the pot from breaking. At this time, you can see that the water in the upper pot is quickly "pulled" to the lower pot. If your coffee is fresh enough, there will be a lot of light brown foam in the pot.

Step 7: finish

After the coffee is sucked into the lower pot, hold the upper pot in one hand and the handle of the lower pot in the other, gently shake the upper pot to the left and right to pull out the upper pot and the lower pot. Pour the coffee into a warm coffee cup and enjoy the mellow coffee that you have prepared by hand.
