There are so many utensils for making coffee, I don't know which one to choose, which is very painful for people with difficulty in choice. If I had to choose, I would choose a coffee brewer called Philharmonic pressure. What is Ailo pressure, in fact, is a piston similar to a syringe working principle, through manual pressure, a way to extract coffee. And Philharmonic pressure is also divided into positive pressure and reverse pressure, the flavor of the coffee is also different, if you do not know what love pressure is, move on!

Aile pressure is a coffee utensil invented by Alan Adler, the founder of American Aerobie company in 2005. Although this instrument does not have a long and majestic history, it has a legendary experience, because the company that invented it is actually a toy company established in 1984. Alan Adler, the owner of the company and the inventor of Philharmonic pressure, is a senior coffee glutton who uses the syringe principle to directly make a coffee utensil and put ground coffee and hot water in its "syringe". Then press the putter and the coffee will flow into the container through the filter paper. It combines the immersion extraction method of French filter pressure pot, the filter paper filtration of hand coffee and the principle of pressure extraction of Italian coffee. And what is more important is convenience, ah, as long as a minute, you can extract a cup of coffee, and cleaning is extremely convenient, it is simply subversive design.

When it comes to the extraction method of Philharmonic pressure, in fact, we all know that there are also Philharmonic pressure competitions, so there is really a lot of playability, and the basic mode of operation is divided into standard method and inversion method, that is, "positive pressure" and "reverse pressure". You can choose between these two choices. Personally, I prefer reverse pressure, which is just a matter of habit, but in fact, you can extend a lot of creative ways of playing from this basic method, starting with time, grinding and other conditions. if you like to play with coffee utensils, then Ailo pressure is really a good toy, (well, I feel that the company is still very relevant here. Sure enough, it was invented by a toy company. But positive pressure and reverse pressure, I personally think there will be some difference in the product, the reverse pressure will make the coffee taste more layered, mellow thickness more full.

Hand-brewed coffee, as the name implies, is hand-brewed coffee, which is the most common way of making coffee in cafes nowadays. You only need a simple coffee utensil to make it, but that doesn't mean it's not difficult to make coffee by hand, because it will be very bad when it's not brewed well, and it's common to have insufficient flavor extraction and excessive extraction.

Hand coffee, no external interference, through the filter paper filter extraction of coffee, can better show the natural taste, coffee tastes more palatable, more layered.

A perfect cup of hand-brewed coffee requires not only a skilled brewing technique, but also a delicate grasp of various factors, such as the variety of coffee, the amount of coffee beans, the degree of grinding, water temperature, water quality, water flow, extraction time, the technique and timing of water injection, and even the preferences of drinkers, to adjust the brewing mode, so that coffee always presents a perfect balance of sweet, sour, bitter, mellow and fragrant in front of people.

How can I make a good cup of coffee by hand?

Generally speaking, as long as you do the following three points, your coffee will not be too bad.

① hot water should be injected into the middle area of the coffee powder, do not aim at only one point and do not pour it on the outer edge of the coffee powder.

The ② flow must be thin, slow and gentle to ensure adequate coffee extraction.

③ Japanese hand flushing tip: water flows on coffee powder to draw Japanese "dough".

As for the choice of coffee beans, whether you choose deep-roasted coffee beans or light-roasted coffee beans, it is mainly based on your personal pursuit of flavor and taste. Generally deep-roasted coffee beans will be more full-bodied, taste more mellow, shallow roasted coffee beans will have obvious flower and fruit aroma, moderate mellow thickness and so on. According to your personal requirements for coffee flavor to choose their own coffee beans on it, whether it is Philharmonic pressure or hand-brewed coffee, after all, everyone has their own like and dislike flavor.
