Hand flush, siphon, Philharmonic pressure, French press pot, etc., using different coffee brewing appliances coffee flavor will be different, perhaps different coffee appliances can find out your favorite flavor, here to see the brewing tips of these brewing appliances.

I. Filter type

1.Hario V60

The Hario V60 drip cup, the inventor of which combines chemistry, glass and coffee. The name V60 comes from its 60° conical angle, the material has been used ceramic, glass, plastic and metal, is a very popular brewing appliance, brewed coffee flavor consistency and has a clean flavor characteristics, but also easy to find out from the experiment brewing some parameters, such as water temperature, grinding degree and powder water ratio.

Suggestion: V60 filters quickly, use medium fine grinding scale, after steaming, water injection in concentric circles around the coffee powder bed, you may try to use drip brewing, batch injection of small amounts of water.

Why choose V60: If you want clean coffee, you want to try adjusting the brewing parameters yourself, and you are willing to accept the difficulty of brewing it.

2.Kalita Wave

Kalita Wave is a flat-bottomed hand-rinse cup from Japan, similar to the V60, but with several key differences. First of all, the bottom of the filter cup is flat and there are three small holes, which will affect the flow rate of water, so that water can stay at the bottom of the filter cup before flowing out of the filter cup, which will make the brewed coffee more stable and fault-tolerant.

Suggestion: The brewing method is the same as V60. The suitable grinding degree is medium to fine. This filter cup is slower to drain. Although there are three drip holes, they are small. Coffee powder grinding too fine will increase the extraction rate, will not make the flavor more prominent, but will be easy to extract, drink up the end will be astringent mouth.

Why Kalita Wave: If you prefer a more fault-tolerant brewing method, try this filter cup.

3.The Chemex

Chemex filter cup is visually very eye-catching, has an elegant smooth body Chemex Coffeemake classic coffee pot, has 74 years of history, and even in New York Museum of Modern Art exhibition, unlike other hand brewing filter cup, Chemex can brew eight cups at a time, the best is its filter coffee function, because it retains the fat in the coffee, so the brewed coffee will be more mellow.

Suggestion: Chemex extraction is actually a way between filtration (pourover) and immersion (immersion). The reason why coffee shops in the United States like to use it so much is because this feature allows Chemex to operate without too much skill and stupidity. So, with Chemex you can steam, but without cutting off the water, just fill it with water at once.

Why Chemex: You want clean coffee and you want to brew coffee for more than one person at a time, but consistency in taste is not your primary concern.

4. American coffee pot

American coffee pots used to be associated with poor-quality, burnt coffee that had been sitting for hours. However, all this has changed because there are many smart American coffee machines, these American coffee machines are easy to control, you can set the closest water temperature, simulate the human hand brew, control the steaming time and so on. Best of all, you can even set the water temperature to respond to changes in control extraction.

Suggestion: In the past, it was recommended to brew with medium grinding thickness, but according to the model innovation, or according to the machine recommended grinding thickness brewing.

Reasons for choosing American coffee pots: clean and convenient to use. You want to brew consistent quality coffee for many people at once, and you don't mind spending a little more money on the equipment, or sacrificing the pleasure of the hand-brewing process.

II. Immersion

1. Smart filter cups

This appliance may look like a hand filter cup, but it actually combines filtering and soaking functions. The secret of the smart cup is that there is a piston at the bottom of the cup, which is usually submerged in the middle (there are four feet below, so that he is suspended). After pouring water, it is closed under pressure, and the piston firmly blocks the water flow. When placed on the container, the piston below is pushed up, and the coffee flows out.

Suggestion: Use medium grinding, powder amount reaches 1/3 of filter cup, except when filling water, cover cover and soak after steaming and steaming, in addition, water injection does not need to be too full, leave one inch space at the top.

Why choose a smart filter cup: You want to taste both steeped and filtered coffee, or you care about brewing stability.

two。 French pressure kettle

This is the most well-known and simplest brewing utensil, and the French kettle is often despised by people who drink fine coffee, but there are still many steps that can improve the flavor. The most important thing is to make sure that the coffee is poured out gently when the brewing is finished. if the action is too rude, there will be some fine powder, and some people will think that the coffee is not clear enough, but for others, this primitive, rugged flavor is fascinating.

Suggestion: it is usually recommended to brew with rough grinding, but some people try to find a better balance between grinding and soaking time.

The reason for choosing a French filter pot: you want a full-bodied cup of coffee and prefer a simple brewing method.

3. Philharmonic pressure

The lightweight, portable and durable utensils invented by Aerobie have since become a favorite tool for people to travel, and they can quickly make a good cup of coffee whether they go up the mountain or down the sea.

The game of AeroPress is changeable, its maneuverability, the controllability of coffee extraction factors are changeable, and there are no absolute rules, so it is deeply loved by the majority of senior coffee lovers. Coffee made with Philharmonic pressure will have a full taste, which combines the immersion extraction of French filter kettle, the filter paper filtration of hand-brewed coffee, and the fast, pressure extraction principle of espresso. So in theory, the coffee brewed by the Philharmonic can have both the richness of espresso, the purity of hand-brewed coffee, and the smoothness of a French kettle.

It is suggested that the water temperature is 74 ℃-85 ℃, the ratio of powder to water is 1: 8 to 1, the ratio of powder to water is 15, the degree of grinding is very coarse to medium and fine, and the extraction time is 1 to 3 minutes. Philharmonic pressure is highly playable, so there are basically no standard tutorials.

The reason for choosing Elle pressure: you can make coffee when you want to go out, or you want a cup of coffee that can be made simply and has a full taste.

III. Pressurization (concentration)

1. Household Italian coffee maker

For people who love espresso, only a few people have an espresso machine available at home, which is a heavy burden on the cost, whether it's the machine itself or the peripherals. The starting price of a household espresso machine is about 1000 yuan.

You can buy a portable or handheld coffee maker, which not only has fewer functions, but also produces poor coffee quality. however, they are still cheaper and can be used when you go out.

Of course, the brewing method of espresso is completely different from that of hand brewing or soaking: before putting the powder on the filter cup of brewing handle, the coffee powder must be ground very finely and brewed in a very short time after filling and pressing. It is very suitable for adjusting the brewing formula (depending on the quality of the machine).

Suggestion: lovers who have a certain economic foundation and simple operation experience can choose, although the price is really ruthless, but there are many ways to play, enough for you to play for a long time.

Reason for choosing a coffee maker: you really love espresso and don't mind spending a lot of money on it.

two。 Mocha pot

Mocha pots are like French filter pots. People often react poorly to this traditional brewer, but like French filter pots, they can improve the quality of brewed coffee in some ways.

The mocha pot is designed to be an espresso machine heated by a stove, but the mocha pot cannot create as much pressure as the coffee maker does, and pressure is important for espresso extraction.

Suggestion: put the finely ground coffee powder into the brewing seat and add water, put the mocha pot on the heating furnace, it is very simple. However, the coffee brewed from the traditional mocha pot can cause the bitter taste of the coffee. in order to avoid this situation, the water should be heated first. if the normal temperature water is used, it will cause the coffee powder to come into contact with the heated metal for too long.

The reason for choosing a mocha pot: you want coffee to taste like espresso rather than spend too much money on equipment.

Next, let's take a look at some unusual cooking utensils (note: these utensils are not suitable for beginners)

4. Boiling type

1. Siphon kettle

Siphon coffee can best show the original taste, aroma, sour and bitter taste of coffee, highlighting the taste differences between different individual coffee, it combines soaking and filtration, including heating fire source, glass brewer and scientific principles. Usually brewed coffee tastes fuller.

Siphon coffee taste in addition to beans itself will be different, because heated by the fire, but also with the brewing will produce high, medium and low temperature differences, thus creating rich flavor changes.

The first thing you feel when drinking is hot! Hot! Hot! Then there is sweetness, the sour taste will only come out when the temperature drops slightly; at high temperature, the aroma of coffee is very strong, and when the temperature drops to 70 degrees, the inherent rich taste of coffee beans will gradually emerge.

Suggestion: to master the stability, especially the water temperature of coffee, and the timing of various operations, you may need a lot of experiments and experience to accumulate stable conclusions.

The reason for choosing a siphon pot: you don't want to have a troublesome production process, like a full and clean flavor, and want a full cooking process.

two。 Turkish kettle

This unique and historic brewing utensil, originated in Turkey during the Ottoman Empire, produced coffee with a bitter taste, a particularly elaborate brewing process with very fine grinding, and a special bean grinder to grind such fine powder.

You must buy a Turkish pot to make coffee, add water and sugar (sugar can be added or not) to the pot and put it on the stove or bury it in hot sand. Add the coffee powder when boiling, quickly remove the fire when it reaches the top of the pot, put it on the fire, repeat three movements and enjoy the coffee!

Brewed coffee will have a full taste, while the traditional practice is not to filter the coffee grounds, usually in front of guests or guests to show them. This coffee is also known as Turkish coffee.

Suggestion: Turkish coffee has not yet kept up with the trend, the way of brewing still needs to rely on more attempts and explorations, interested enthusiasts can study it in depth.

The reason for choosing the Turkish pot: you want to experience the culture of the Turkish pot, and you like bitter or sweetened coffee, and you are not afraid of the trouble of brewing.

Finally: no matter which method has its own unique culture and temperament, do not divide it according to the price or the degree of difficulty of operation, no matter which one you use, go and buy a bag of beans first.
