Some people have many different coffee utensils and often make coffee in different ways, but have you ever wondered why you need so many wardrobes? Wouldn't it be better to keep it simple?

Anyone who can make their own coffee must have a bean grinder, maybe even more than one, including electric at home and hand grinders for going out. There are electronic scales, timers, thermometers, and cooking utensils are dazzling: all kinds of hand pots, French pots, V60 filter cups, trapezoidal filter cups, siphon pots, Philharmonic pressure, mocha pots, smart cups and so on. There are all kinds of appliances of different materials, shapes and sizes.

The more the wardrobe, the more professional, and the better the coffee? Definitely not, otherwise why none of the world champions started by selling coffee utensils. The reason why most people have so many wardrobes has little to do with the difference in the flavor of the coffee brewed by these utensils-although the utensils do affect the flavor, the key lies in the ritual of brewing.

Making coffee is actually like shaving.

Making coffee and shaving can be done quickly or slowly, painful or enjoyable. If you don't like shaving, you can use a cheap disposable razor and cheap shaving cream to do it quickly. However, if you enjoy the shaving process, you can use a high-quality razor with multiple blades, mix the shaving cream with a brush and bring luxury with fragrant foam. Shaving may also give people a sense of achievement, because it must be as difficult without leaving dead corners or causing redness and swelling.

For many people, coffee may be just for refreshing purposes, or at best for drinking, and they don't want to participate in the process of making, let alone understanding the process of harvesting, processing, roasting, and so on. As a result, the amount of time involved varies greatly from person to person, and we can choose to grind the coffee beans by hand and brew them in some way, so that we can immerse ourselves in all the sensory experiences and immerse ourselves in the 10-15 minutes of coffee preparation.

Of course, sometimes you don't have 15 minutes to do it slowly, just want to drink a cup of coffee as soon as possible, for example, if you don't have leisure to grind the beans by hand, it's faster to throw away the opportunity to grind beans directly. If time is the main reason for your consideration, then different cooking utensils will suit your different needs.
