Guests who often come to Qianjie for coffee sometimes ask the barista if there is a lazy coffee maker suitable for use at home, and the best price is also suitable. Then. Let's find out about the American drip filter coffee machine. American drip filter coffee machine (Drip Coffee Maker) is a common coffee machine at present, which is suitable for coffee beginners to use at home or office; it is easy to operate, easy to use, and the process is basically very standardized, generally brewing a pot of coffee for 5 minutes and 8 minutes. In front of the screen, are you also moved? Next, Qianjie will introduce in detail the common American coffee maker as well as its operating standards and methods of use.

Coffee machine is a general term for brewing machines, which can be divided into two types: drip coffee machine and Italian coffee machine. Before World War II, household trickling filters were more popular in the United States, which were small and easy to operate, and were popular in American families. Now the American coffee we buy in the cafe is made of espresso. What's the difference between this espresso and American coffee? The American style made with an Italian coffee machine is made by adding water to the espresso liquid. During World War II, the US military in Europe could not get used to the traditional Italian espresso, so they mixed hot water into the powdered espresso and diluted the coffee to make it taste the same as the drip coffee machine. This way of drinking is despised by Europeans and only Americans like it, so Europeans call this kind of coffee "American coffee". After listening to the story of American coffee, let's follow Qianjie to learn about the American coffee machine.

Model and capacity of American coffee maker

The American drip filter coffee machine generally has two models: 5 cups and 12 cups, that is, it can cook 5 cups of coffee and 12 cups of coffee at a time; usually, the capacity of the glass pot and water tank of 5 cups of coffee machine is 550 ml, 550ml, 650ml, and 12 cups, and the capacity of the glass pot and water tank of 12 cups is 1.2 ml and 1.3L, respectively.

Water consumption standard of American drip filter coffee machine

The measure of a cup referred to in the appeal is based on the 100-120ml/ cup, which means that the water used to make a cup of coffee is between 100-120ml; generally speaking, the American coffee machine should make coffee at least 2 cups at a time. Water use scale

Powdered standard coffee

General American coffee 1 cup coffee quantity 100-120ml/ cup, need to add coffee powder 5mur7g, each American coffee machine has its own special coffee powder engraving spoon, a cup of coffee generally needs a spoon of powder, boil several cups of coffee to put a few tablespoons of powder; no matter what coffee beans can be used as long as they are ground.

Standard for coordination of water and powder

To make a cup of coffee, you need to add 100-120ml water. Compare the scale in step 2 in detail and add water to the water tank of the coffee machine to the corresponding scale; while to make a cup of coffee, you need to add 1 flat spoonful of coffee powder, usually about 6g, which can increase or decrease the amount of coffee powder according to your own taste.

Operation steps of American drip filter coffee machine

Step 1: grind the coffee beans into coffee powder. If you are preparing coffee powder, omit this step. According to the number of coffee cups to be boiled, determine how many beans to grind, how much to drink, how much to grind, how much to boil. It takes about 6g of coffee powder to brew a cup of coffee. To make a few cups of coffee, grind the corresponding amount of coffee beans. In general, when the American coffee powder spoon is 6g, you can use the powder spoon to measure a full spoon of coffee beans for grinding into powder corresponding to 1 cup of coffee.

Step 2: take out the glass pot, open the filter basket of the coffee machine, and put the coffee powder into the coffee machine filter; pay attention to making a cup of 100ml coffee, and put the ground coffee powder into the coffee filter with a quantity of 5m / 7g; of course, different coffee spoons are equipped according to different coffee opportunities, generally 5g, 6g, 7g and 10g, and the amount of coffee powder is determined according to different coffee machines. The coffee machine we use here is demonstrated with 6g powder.

Step 3: close the filter basket, open the water tank, and add water to the tank; the principle of adding water: make a few cups of coffee, add a few servings of coffee powder, then add 100ml for each person, you can use a glass pot to add water to the tank until the water required for the water scale on the coffee machine is reached. The corresponding parameters can refer to the water standard described above. In addition, some coffee machines have a scale on the glass pot, which is exactly the same as the water scale on the coffee machine, which can accurately help you add water.

Step 4: close the water tank, close the coffee filter basket, put back the glass pot on the insulation plate, plug in the power supply, and turn on the coffee maker switch.

Step 5: wait 8 minutes for 5mi, a pot of coffee will be cooked (when there is no more coffee dripping from the top of the glass pot), then turn off the switch and enjoy the delicious coffee.

Step 6: add sugar or fresh milk according to your taste

Like this, coffee made from an American coffee machine is hot. If you want to drink iced American coffee, how to make iced American coffee?

There are two ways: one can reduce the amount of water and add ice to the extracted coffee, but the coffee as a whole will be diluted a lot. Second, use espresso and mix it into an one-to-one mixture of ice water.

Seeing this, I believe everyone can make a perfect cup of coffee at home, but the front street here needs to remind you in front of the screen that the coffee grinding degree used by the American coffee machine is completely different from that of the Italian coffee machine. What degree of powder should American coffee machines use? Qianjie Coffee responsibly tells you that it is similar to hand-brewed coffee, because it is drip-filter coffee, its brewing principle is similar, and the grinding degree of coffee powder does not need much adjustment. If you don't have a bean grinder at home, you can ask the store to grind the beans for you when you buy coffee beans.

What kind of coffee beans are suitable for American coffee machines? Qianjie believes that the flavor and taste of American coffee is closely related to the coffee beans used. Any coffee bean is suitable for an American coffee machine, depending on your subjective feelings. Generally speaking, shallow roasted coffee beans have very obvious acidity and a strong sense of fruit juice. Medium-roasted coffee beans are highlighted by their nutty and well-balanced flavors. Deep-roasted coffee is more bitter than the above two types of coffee beans, but the aftertaste of its chocolate is still unstoppable. In the same way, the same is true of American coffee made by an espresso machine, except that almost all espresso beans are deeply roasted. However, the obvious characteristics of coffee beans can still be detected, such as Qianjie special Italian matching coffee beans-warm sun mix has a very obvious fermented aroma, cream chocolate texture, rich layers.
