Professional coffee knowledge exchange more coffee bean information please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

All the love and obsession with coffee will start to break through the new realm of failure again and again by getting a coffee machine.

Many years ago, we only relied on Nestle to know what coffee is. As people have more money in their mobile phones, drinking coffee is no longer just an elite fashion consumption in imported culture.

More and more people began to go into the cafe to enjoy a cup of coffee, and then slowly understand coffee, can not do without coffee lovers, and finally choose to make their own coffee at home.

It is no longer pleasant to wake up every morning and give yourself a cup of coffee to awaken the energy of the whole body. If you make your own coffee at home, you will learn a lot. Solid knowledge, skilled skills, high-quality raw materials, as well as different appliances, can not be done without.

Today we will focus on teaching you how to choose a coffee maker from beginner to advanced.

Before we do that, we have to sort out a few basic concepts:

What kind of coffee do you make at home

Many people don't know what good coffee tastes like, and there are very few qualified coffee produced by coffee shops all over the country. What everyone likes and loves still stays at the level of milk coffee. When it comes to black coffee, people probably have the impression of frowning and causing people to stick out their tongues.

Different ways of brewing coffee

According to atmospheric pressure and pressure and other different brewing methods, there are standard single-item hand-brewed coffee and Italian coffee. If you want to go from beginner to advanced, you can try pressurized brewing, that is, to start making a cup of espresso. Hand-made coffee requires more advanced skills, so let's not repeat it here.

What is good coffee?

Espresso includes espresso, latte, mocha, etc. Lattes and mochas are further processed on a concentrated base, so in fact, espresso is the core of making a cup of coffee from beginner to advanced.

A good espresso is neither bitter nor sour, but it will give people a pleasant taste.

After understanding these basic concepts, we are about to start making our own coffee:

Know the bean grinder

When we make a good cup of coffee, we tend to ignore a very important role, that is, the bean grinder! In fact, the shelf life of roasted coffee is very short, so as an advanced coffee lover, you have to form a good habit of freshly ground coffee.

Freshly roasted coffee beans are most suitable for drinking within 30 days. Once the time is long, the aroma and flavor of the coffee beans will be lost. Freshly roasted coffee beans are always much better than buying coffee powder to brew and extract.

So the first rule to make a good cup of coffee is to start with freshly ground coffee.

Different coffee extraction methods, there are different types of bean grinder. Today we only talk about the Italian coffee grinder. From entry to advanced level, electric bean grinder is a better choice than manual bean grinder. The bean grinder is also divided into flat knife, cone knife and ghost tooth.

At present, the flat knife bean grinder is the most widely used, which can grind the fine powder suitable for Italian coffee. On the other hand, the coffee powder produced by the ghost tooth bean grinder is thicker and is not suitable for making Italian coffee. The two-stage differentiation of the cone knife bean grinder is too serious, if you are in the entry to advanced stage, you do not have to consider the cone knife bean grinder.

How to choose the flat knife bean grinder? Just remember one thing, look at the diameter of the grinding disc.

Understand the bean grinder and coffee powder, this time really start to brew coffee.

Know the coffee machine

Different extraction methods naturally have different coffee machine classification. The classification is not complicated, it is divided into traditional drip filter coffee machine, high-pressure pump coffee machine and capsule coffee machine, and these different types of coffee machines can be divided into fully automatic and semi-automatic coffee machines according to the way they work.

Once again, today we will only talk about how to make a good espresso and how to buy the utensils. In fact, nowadays, with its unique flavor and charm, espresso-based milk coffee (mocha, latte, etc.) has captured the hearts of most consumers. Italian coffee machine is simply to dominate the rhythm of the domestic coffee machine market. On the other hand, the market share of the traditional American coffee maker is shrinking year by year.

On the other hand, at a time when people are still interested in the unique flavor of espresso, people also begin to explore more convenient ways to enjoy a cup of espresso.

It is under this expectation that the capsule coffee machine was born. Just prepare the capsule in advance and throw it into the capsule coffee machine, which greatly reduces the difficulty of making a good cup of espresso.

From the beginning to the advanced stage, the capsule coffee machine is indeed the first choice, and there is no need to buy another bean grinder, and the preservation of coffee beans is also saved. It is simple, convenient and does not lose the flavor of coffee.

Of course, if you simply pursue convenience, a fully automatic espresso machine is also a good choice. Put the beans into the coffee maker and you can get a cup of freshly ground espresso at the click of a button. But what fun is a stupid coffee machine for advanced coffee lovers?

So for many coffee lovers, the semi-automatic espresso machine is the real coffee machine. And once you choose the semi-automatic consciousness coffee machine, it means that your road to defeat has really begun.

Semi-automatic coffee machine is the most expensive and painstaking way to make coffee at home, but it is also the most interesting.

The five key variables affecting the production of espresso are grinding, powder quantity, water temperature, pressure and extraction time. From advanced to entry, if you want to improve your production level, you must have an intuitive understanding of these five variables.

Naturally, there are several key criteria for selecting a semi-automatic espresso machine: heating system, extraction system and steam system.

Heating system: too high or too low temperature will affect the quality of coffee. So the temperature control technology of the coffee machine is very important. At present, the most stable application is the PID temperature control technology, which can keep the water temperature at the extraction temperature of 92 degrees Celsius, ensuring that the output of each cup of coffee is more stable.

Extraction system: the gold extraction pressure in the coffee extraction process is 9-12bar, so that better oil can be extracted. On the other hand, cooking head and powder bowl also play a very important role.

When selecting a coffee machine, a wide-caliber powder bowl and a brewing head can expose the coffee to more steam pressure in the extraction process, making the brewing process have a deeper extraction effect.

Steam system: in espresso, the steam pump head is a key thing, which affects whether you can successfully steam away the foam and make more different flavors of espresso.

Having a good four-hole steam head is the basis for getting rid of good milk bubbles, and then there is a stable steam pressure. But a steady steam pressure is not a big problem in front of an Italian coffee machine heated by a big boiler.

This is the end of the coffee machine from the entry to the advanced stage to the purchase guide. Finally, I would like to remind you that Italian is a pit, so you need to be careful when entering the pit.

The size of the water tank is just the size of a pot of coffee cup is really very convenient! It is also very easy to use, and the powder is perfect with the grinding machine. Of course, the taste of coffee depends on the beans. These two items are really good to use. So I decided to spend some time on the coffee machine and continue to give it a compliment.

Watching the video from the Coffee Research Institute in the Little Red Book, I bought it and sent a bag of coffee powder during the activity. The foaming ability is very excellent and the production speed is very fast. I just don't know why the room temperature is better than the refrigerated one. The only disadvantage is that cleaning is more time-consuming. It is not convenient to use it in the dormitory. It will be more convenient if you use it at home.

It's the same price. But the things he sent were different. The cup he sent was a set of cups, which looked better. Tmall sent this brown glass bowl. Is it all right? I hope the quality will be better and it will take a little longer, otherwise I really regret it and should have bought the dragon. I didn't know until after I bought it.

Yes, the appearance is online, the operation is simple, if there is ready-made coffee powder, it can be made in a few minutes. The coffee is greasy. I always drink hanging-ear coffee and make it more mellow. I will certainly use this to grind the coffee frequently in the future. I can operate it by myself. American coffee machine can buy Italian coffee machine at a high price, the performance-to-price ratio is still good, I believe that strict selection ~

On the whole, it's still good. As expected, it is smaller in size. But what you see on the Internet about "cleaning is very simple" and "one-click cleaning" is nonsense, or those people are probably water army. Because you can't use filter paper, you have to clean the coffee trough and sink after each use. One-click cleaning is only for the need to clean the inside of the machine after a long period of non-use, not the daily coffee grounds cleaning. However, I think the ratio of performance to price is still relatively high.

In the morning, having a cup of coffee is a good day. It turns out that the hot hand coffee is frankincense. Toffy's hand-imitating taste is really good, accidentally finished more than half of the pot, Shenma drinking coffee is not good for the health of all the Tao left behind, really fragrant heart. It is very convenient to wash, and you can stop switching between different concentrations of taste midway. Although it is a simple American style, you can turn it into a latte, mocha, etc., and keep it warm for 30 minutes. You won't drink cold coffee in winter. Fortunately, it is really petite and capable.
