Many coffee lovers like to collect and try to play with all kinds of coffee utensils, but the French kettle always seems to be the "neglected" existence, and may really think that the way it makes coffee is too simple and rude. In short, there are few people around to learn about the world of the French kettle. What I want to share with you today is a list of recommended French pots from abroad, including the one I have specially shared. Personally, I think it is still of reference value. Let's take a look at it.

French kettle is a simple coffee process, if you say what are the components of the kettle? Perhaps there are only two main components, that is, the screen plunger and the glass bottle. Soak in hot water, then press, and then. It's gone. Even if it is such a simple instrument and operation steps, it can not be said that the pressure pot can be bought casually, in which there are some key elements worthy of our comparison and reference. First of all, the material of the cup body, is it stainless steel, ceramic or glass? Is the screen mono-binocular or trinocular screen? Is its appearance simple or traditional? Is it easy to clean?

Michael Phillips, director of brand culture at Blue bottle, once said: "the French kettle is the easiest way to extract coffee. I am personally a fan of the glass press. If it is designed as double-wall glass, it will help to keep warm." If it is made of stainless steel, it is OK, but if you clean them with cleaning products such as steel wire balls, it will form a dent on the surface over time and it is easy to accumulate a peculiar smell. "

At the same time, based on his own experience in buying a French kettle and his experience in using it, he gave some suggestions for choice. first of all, you need to know the amount you need, which determines the size of the cup you buy. usually most people choose 16 ounces to make two or four cups of coffee. In addition, easy cleaning is also very important, because one of the biggest advantages of French kettle extraction of coffee is that it will retain some of the oil in the coffee, which is why many people like French kettle extraction to enhance the mellow taste of coffee. So if it is not convenient to clean, it will produce a peculiar smell over a long time, and it will become impractical.

The following is a list drawn after a lot of consumer feedback and based on some basic selection references, hoping to bring some inspiration to friends who are struggling with what to do.

The first model is called FORLIFE (reference price: $48.50, RMB 345). This French kettle has a capacity of 32 ounces, and its design is a relatively regular one. It is hand-made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass and can support the extraction of coffee and tea (in fact, I have always thought that the French kettle is better for making tea, ). The glass with simple design is easy to clean. The silicone foot cover absorbs the impact of the hard surface and prevents skidding. all parts are removable for easy care and cleaning. Functionally, the piston pressure of the FORLIFE kettle has a continuous traction force, so there is a buffer in the overall pressure and try to help you maintain a uniform speed.

The second, called Frieling (reference price: $86.95, 620 yuan), is a 23-ounce French kettle, which is a "heavy pressure kettle". Its double-wall stainless steel design keeps coffee hot four times longer than the glass kettle, and the kettle has a double filtration system, which also claims to be almost free of extraction of particulate residual powder.

The third model is called Chantal (reference price: $49.95, 356 yuan) this French kettle has a capacity of 28 ounces, and people can take a look at the ceramic kettle. This French kettle has a classic French design style and is available in a variety of colors. It feels like the lightness of spring party, . The handle is wide and easy to hold, and the top lid and the overall ceramic texture are not bad in terms of thermal insulation.

The fourth is called ESPRO (reference price: $129.95, 929 yuan). I still have a say in the ESPRO French pressure kettle. I have written about the evaluation of the ESPRO travel version of the French pressure kettle before. It is really easy to use, but the price is not so expensive. What is mentioned in this list is the P7 French pressure kettle in ESPRO. I think a French pressure kettle can cost thousands, which can be regarded as the "pinnacle of kettle life". This is a top French filter kettle with a double-wall stainless steel body and a patented double miniature filter.

I think the ESPRO travel version is enough. For those of you who have not seen the previous evaluation of this device, you can also click on "ESPRO Portable Travel Insulation Pot Test".

ESPRO can also be regarded as my personal testing process, can do a better barrier to fine powder precipitation of the pressure pot, the effect is good, insulation is also very good.

The fifth is the kitchen utensils brand LeCreuset that we are all familiar with (reference price: $50, RMB 356). Its colorful and unique design is also a series of products that many people love this brand, from pots, plates to coffee cups, it can be said that LeCreuset brushed out the existence of many people's kitchens.

Unexpectedly, Le Creuset still has a French kettle, but according to the feedback of the test team that created this list, the lid of this kettle is not very strong, so it may be inconvenient to use. But as a French kettle, you can still make good coffee. At the same time, the glaze on the inner wall can resist coffee stains, making cleaning easy. Although it has only 12 ounces, it's a little expensive in terms of performance-to-price ratio, but the big brands are guaranteed and there are 16 colors to choose from.

Section 6 is the famous Peugeot French kettle (reference price $120,855 yuan) famous Peugeot brand, in fact, about the understanding of Peugeot, I still start from the antique hand bean grinder, indeed this is a too classic brand, with a history of more than 200 years, so for some friends with retro and nostalgic complex, should like this kind of brand design with time precipitation.

The seventh is called the Planetary Design kettle (reference price: $39, 278 yuan). This French kettle looks like an ordinary coffee kettle, with a stainless steel shell to protect the body of borosilicate glass. According to the evaluation of the test team, the feedback from the test team is that it is a cost-effective French kettle, which is consistent from the first cup to the last cup, and can remain hot for several hours under the protection of double insulated stainless steel. Therefore, this French pressure kettle is more suitable for outdoor lovers, more suitable for outdoor scenes.

The eighth is the French kettle called OXO (reference price: $39.99,285RMB) OXO is a household name in kitchen appliances. This French kettle looks relatively regular in appearance, but it is also a combination design made of common materials. First of all, the inside glass body and the innovative silicone cover are easier to clean, while the stainless steel wrapped on the outside is a "cup cover". The toughened borosilicate glass kettle body can be separated from it, and the stainless steel shell will have a certain heat preservation function.

The ninth is from the YIELD brand of the law pressure pot (reference price: 85 US dollars, 606 RMB) This law pressure pot I have also written a special article to share, in my opinion this is I have ever encountered, the highest value of the law pressure pot. It does have a distinct modern minimalist design color, and its amber glass press pot is really too recognizable and very eye-catching. I haven't seen the little friends I shared before. You can click to view and learn about this high-value French press pot.

To sum up, this group of foreign evaluation team obtained this list, they also gave a comprehensive somatosensory evaluation of the overall use, found that FORLIFE method pressure pot in terms of material and practicality is relatively high cost performance, in the conventional design method pressure pot, this can be regarded as the first choice. At the same time, if you don't mind the high price, then meESPRO P7, a thousand yuan press pot, will definitely not let you down. As its patented double micro filter, the extracted coffee can indeed be more silky and almost no residual powder is precipitated. The coffee solution produced is relatively clean.
