Material

Common coffee filter cup materials are plastic, glass, ceramic and metal, acrylic, AS resin and so on. Each has its own characteristics, pay attention to the metal filter cup may rust, so every time it is best to dry, put in a ventilated place. In addition to the above-mentioned most commonly used materials, there are heat-resistant glass, aluminum alloy, tin, stainless steel and other materials, and even in some hot climate producing countries in Southeast Asia, there are pure natural and environmentally friendly coffee filter cups woven with plants such as bamboo and Zongma.

The flavor of the coffee brewed by the filter with the same shape but different material is slightly different, and the material has little effect on the coffee flavor. The specific choice depends on individual preferences and willingness to invest economically. In fact, this is not high-tech, as long as the coffee filter cup can meet the three basic conditions of filtration, ventilation and heat preservation, it can make good coffee.

1. Single hole filter cup

The characteristic is that the flow rate is slow, the initial amount of coffee powder and the amount of water injected must be calculated, and the water injection must be completed at once, so the shallow baked beans which are easy to block the filter hole are not very suitable, and the single-hole cup is more suitable for beginners-simple, low cost and durable.

The single-hole filter cup is relatively common, the filter hole makes the air flow through easily, when using the filter paper dripping method to brew coffee, the filter paper will stick to the filter cup wall, if there is no groove, after injecting hot water, the air can only be discharged from the filter hole at the bottom of the cup, and the rest of the air will be discharged from the surface of the coffee powder in the steaming state, and the coffee powder surface will break a hole, and the cold air will enter, so that the coffee will not be fully steamed.

Note: (the steaming reaction of shallow baked beans is smaller than that of deep baked beans, and the drum bag is small, because shallow baked beans are mostly high-quality high-altitude producing areas, the baked beans are shallow, and the internal tissue structure of beans is relatively tight, resulting in poor water absorption of coffee powder during hand flushing, and more fine powder after grinding.

The performance is as follows: when steaming, the hamburger is not obvious or not as fast as the hamburger ~ while the water of the single hole itself is slow, coupled with more shallow baking fine powder, it is easy to cause blockage and eventually lead to excessive extraction rate.

Solutions (the following methods should be used comprehensively):

(1) when steaming, there should be less water than usual, otherwise you will find that the water above will flow down very quickly. At this time, it is no longer steaming, it has already begun to extract.

(2) the water temperature should be about 92 degrees higher.

(3) it can be ground thicker than usual.

(4) because the powder is launched quickly and the filter cup is slow, it is best to use a small flow and multi-stage water injection to match the beans and the filter cup.

two。 Macroporous filter cup

As the name implies, it is single and big. It is characterized by fast flow rate, so its popularity is relatively high. The disadvantage is that because the flow rate is too fast, it is easy to cause insufficient extraction, so the requirement of water injection speed is relatively high.

3. Three-hole filter cup

It is suitable for coffee of all roasting degrees.

In addition, there are double-hole, four-hole and six-hole filter cups, which are similar to Karita's three-hole cups and are suitable for all degrees of coffee. However, the more the number of holes, the higher the requirements for water injection skills, which requires the accumulation of certain experience.

Basically want to have a very stable brewing quality, it is recommended to choose a slower flow rate of the filter, because the slow flow rate, you can have more time to add water. At the beginning, it is recommended to choose 1 to 3 small holes, easy to use, experts, please feel free. A large hole is not recommended for beginners, and it is very difficult to get started.
