Advantages and disadvantages of cake filter cup

The horizontal ditch ditch plays a role in properly regulating the infiltration of water. The bottom of the cake filter cup is flat, so that the coffee powder will be in the filter cup at an equal height. In the process of water injection, the pouring water will not tilt to one direction, but evenly infiltrate and steadily extract. The use of this filter cup will not cause coffee taste deviation.

The advantage of this filter cup is that it is easier to maintain a stable output, and even beginners can extract stable coffee liquid according to their own ideas, but compared with V60, the aroma and flavor are not as strong as V60, however, the overall flavor and solid taste of coffee can be well preserved.

Pour in the right amount of water for 20 to 30 seconds of steaming, which means that at the beginning of the extraction, the coffee is injected with just the right amount of hot water, enough to wet all the coffee powder to make it expand. Coffee powder injected with hot water releases carbon dioxide, making the flavor of the coffee easier to extract.

At the end of steaming, the water is evenly injected into the extracted coffee liquid from the inside to the outside. the hand-flushing rate plays an important role in the whole brewing process. It is rare to achieve the best results by using a daily household standard kettle. We usually use a small-mouth kettle, which has a narrow mouth, which can better allow the water column to flow out at a very slow and steady speed.

Moving picture
