Coffee utensils refer to the utensils for grinding, brewing and tasting coffee. The more distinctive coffee makers include steam pressurized coffee maker, siphon coffee maker, espresso maker, straight bucket espresso machine and so on. It is an important part of coffee culture.

Hand punch pot

One of the most common hand-made coffee utensils, which can control the speed and volume of water output, is simple and skillful, and is loved by many people.

Siphon kettle

Siphon pot (Syphon), commonly known as "plug wind pot" or "siphon", is a simple and easy-to-use method of coffee brewing, and it is also one of the most popular coffee brewing methods in cafes.

Although the siphon pot has the nickname of "plug wind type", it has nothing to do with the siphon principle, but uses water heating to produce water vapor, resulting in thermal expansion and cold contraction principle, pushing the hot water from the lower sphere to the upper pot, and then sucking back the water from the upper pot after the lower pot cools.

There are also many people who like the precision of siphon cooking with a touch of laboratory flavor. Watching the water rise as the water boils, the coffee extracted into black drops, step by step in the hands of the coffee maker.

Using an Italian coffee maker often leaves part of the process to a machine, and siphon coffee seems to satisfy some people who like to do-it-yourself DIY.

Ice drop coffee maker

The principle of ice-brewed coffee is that it is extracted bit by bit by melting ice due to the compatibility of coffee with water. The coffee extracted has different flavor according to the roasting degree, water quantity, water temperature, droplet speed, grinding thickness and other factors.

The advantage of ice drop coffee is that it is not sour and does not hurt the stomach, because using this method to make coffee, most of the coffee beans selected are deep-roasted coffee beans such as Manning.

Because "shallow roasting is fragrant and sour, deep roasting is bitter but strong", ice drop coffee is not sour. Another reason for choosing deep-roasted coffee beans is that iced coffee will be diluted with ice cubes, so deep-roasted beans must be selected to filter so as not to be strong enough.

French pressure kettle

Also known as French filter kettle, tea maker, French Press.

French filter press: a simple brewing apparatus consisting of a heat-resistant glass bottle (or transparent plastic) and a metal filter with a pressure bar that originated in France around 1850. At first, it was mostly used to brew black tea, so it is also called tea maker.

The principle of using the pressure pot to make coffee: the essence of coffee is released by soaking and stewing through the full contact between water and coffee powder.

Vietnamese kettle

Vietnamese pot, a kind of French dripping pot, is very popular after it spread to Vietnam. After local learning and improvement, it has developed into a Vietnamese pot and is the preferred equipment for cooking Vietnamese coffee. Small size, easy to carry, generally made of stainless steel.

The biggest difference between the Vietnamese pot and the ordinary drip filter is that the Vietnamese pot is flat-bottomed, and there is a metal pressing plate on the coffee powder, which can be rotated and pressed on the coffee powder through a metal column in the pot.

Italian coffee maker

At first, it was a semi-automatic coffee machine, which we used to call Italian coffee machine, which got its name because it originated in Italy. Today, Italian coffee machine has been fully automated. This kind of machine initially according to the manual operation of grinding, pressing, loading, brewing, manual removal of residue.

The principle is to use a mixture of high-pressure steam and water to quickly pass through the coffee layer and instantly extract the coffee, so that the coffee temperature is very high, the content of caffeine and other impurities is very low, and the taste is rich.

American coffee machine

American coffee machines are fully automatic, there are no semi-automatic products, mainly for household use.

The principle is to use hot water to drop on the coffee powder, extract the coffee, and the extracted coffee will drop into the glass coffee pot below.

So the American coffee machine is usually divided into two layers, the coffee powder is placed in a funnel-shaped container with a filter, the lower layer is a coffee pot made of glass or ceramic, and the cold water is separated by another interval.

When starting, heat the cold water to about 90 degrees Celsius and gradually pour it into the funnel-shaped container, so that the hot water passes through the coffee powder and flows into the coffee pot below, thus making coffee.

Capsule coffee machine

Capsule coffee machine is a kind of coffee machine, which makes the operation of extracting coffee more simple and convenient. When operating the machine, the coffee capsule is put into the capsule bin and the coffee can be extracted with one key. compared with the semi-automatic coffee machine and the full-automatic coffee machine with coffee powder, the operation is very simple.

Mocha pot

Mocha pot (Moka Pot) is a tool for extracting espresso, which is widely used in Europe and Latin American countries, and is called "Italian trickle filter pot" in the United States.

The mocha pot has a two-layer structure, and when the water in the lower part is boiled, it is sprayed into the upper half of the pot through a mesh filter containing coffee powder.

Although hot water can be injected into finely ground coffee powder without air pressure, this is not strictly a concentrated extraction, but rather close to dripping, but the coffee made by the mocha pot still has the concentration and flavor of Italian coffee Espresso.
