The essentials of dripping coffee brewing coffee with water injection

Perhaps a major problem is: in the beginner stage, the seemingly simple and light hand flushing pot suddenly becomes heavy in the hand, the flow regulation is not as easy as it seems, and the hands will tremble after a long time of water injection, unable to control the water flow. These, on the one hand, are due to the lack of practice and lack of proficiency; another reason is the failure to find a suitable posture and exertion.

What kind of posture is the best for hand-brewing coffee? There is no standard answer, and there will be some differences in posture, but for beginners, if you master the essentials of posture and learn to adjust your posture according to your own conditions, you will get twice the result with half the effort in practice. so here summed up a set of the most basic and simple hand-brewed coffee beginner posture for reference only.

1. Prepare to keep the operating area clean and orderly, prepare the necessary tools: hand punch, filter, filter paper (Swiss gold), coffee grounds pick-up cup, towel, fill the hand flush pot with 9 minutes of water.

two。 Adjust your posture. Move your limbs a little to keep your body comfortable and relaxed. There are two standing positions that can be used during operation:

One is to stand upright in front of you with your feet one punch apart.

Second, the body is facing to the left and front, the left leg is in front and the right leg is behind, and the heels are in contact with each other and separated at an angle of 30 degrees. Adjust your standing posture according to your physical conditions, and make sure that the soles of your feet touch the ground, keep your center of gravity on your feet, keep your waist straight, open your shoulders naturally, and keep your whole body visible and relaxed.

3. Adjust the distance between the body, the bar and the appliance. The distance between the body and the bar is about 5ml / 10cm. Place the filter pot directly in front of the body, within 10 centimeters from the edge of the bar, to ensure that when injecting water, look directly at the filter and the flow of water. Gently press the bar with your left hand to help you balance your body and hold the pot with your right hand. Lift the pot and water it. When holding the pot, the thumb and little finger are on the outside of the handle, and the index finger, middle finger and ring finger are on the inside of the handle. Hold the hand and flush the pot in the form of buckle to maintain a natural and comfortable state.

4. Inject water. Lift the hand punch, keep the spout about 3 centimeters above the filter, align the spout in the center of the filter, look directly at the filter, gently tilt the spout angle, and let the water flow out slowly. Take the central point of the filter as the center, inject water clockwise, and draw a concentric circle from the inside to the outside. The outermost circle of the concentric circle is less than 1 cm from the edge of the filter. Keep the flow fine, uniform, slow and stable. Keep the flow moderate when the water injection stops. After being proficient in water injection, practice according to the normal extraction and water injection steps, that is, the ratio of 30% to 10%. After three times of water injection, gently separate the filter from the filter pot and be careful not to splash the residual water droplets on the bar.
