Coffee fundamentals Coffee making method

Traditional methods

Siphon brewing method

Using the principle of vapor pressure (a method invented by a marine engineer, probably inspired by a steam engine), the heated water flows upward from the lower beaker through a siphon and filter cloth, and then mixed with the coffee powder in the upper cup, the ingredients in the coffee powder are completely quenched out, and the quenched coffee liquid is removed from the fire and flowed back to the lower cup. After full of scientific process, you can enjoy the fruits of science.

Filter paper brewing method

This is a method invented by housewives, a typical family method, very practical and simple! In brewing, filter paper is used to filter out all coffee grounds, and the filter paper is discarded every time it is used to get clear and mellow coffee. When using filter paper coffee pot, it is appropriate to choose finely ground coffee powder to get the best brewing effect.

Filter cloth brewing method

Using the principle of "old soup to boil new medicine", this is the method favored by experts, because after the filter flannelette has been used repeatedly, the grease of the coffee will be attached to the lines of the flannelette, making the coffee more mellow. If you want to fill everyone's coffee cups at once, try this old cloth-get twice the result with half the effort!

Water drop brewing method

Dripping coffee, also known as Dutch coffee, is a dripping pot invented by an archbishop in Paris. It uses cold or ice water to quench the coffee essence at a rate of 40 drops per minute. Of course, this method takes time and effort, and most people will not use this method to make coffee.

Modern methods

Coffee permeator

A household coffee pot can give you a wonderful smell of coffee and a beautiful sound, which is emitted as the water flows through the system. But the coffee brewed from the permeating pot has a bitter taste.

Connor vacuum device

You can sometimes see it in some old-fashioned stores (but mostly for decoration). This method is very interesting, much like alchemy. As long as you are careful not to let the coffee boil, it still tastes great, but it is not very convenient for daily use.

Trickling filter method

The drip filter is divided into two parts, the roasted coffee is placed on the upper filter paper, the hot water is poured on it, the liquid is dripped by gravity, and the whole process takes 6-8 minutes to enter the coffee pot below. in the end, all you get is pure coffee with a little foam. The correct manual dripping method is to use cold water and heat near boiling, heat the coffee pot, and then pour out the water. Add some water to the ground coffee to stimulate the coffee's activity. Then pour in the right amount of water.

French Piston Pot method

The method of using the piston pot is very simple. Now preheat the pot, put in the roasted coffee (about 5 grams per cup), add hot water and stir, soak for 4-5 minutes, then push down the stainless steel piston with mesh to separate the coffee foam from the liquid. Finally, pour the coffee liquid from the piston pot. One thing to pay attention to when buying piston pots is not to buy back the ones with nylon mesh pistons because stainless steel mesh is more effective and durable.

Their greatest feature is simple and dexterous, this coffee pot consists of two parts, water is placed in the lower container, pressure makes the water flow through the coffee into the upper container, and then everywhere from this container. Although it is clever and lovely, it has only a few advantages of piston pot and drip filter pot.
