Qianjie-introduction of hand-made and Italian coffee

Espresso (ESPRESSO), as its name implies, originated in Italy and means "brew it for you immediately". Commonly known as espresso, espresso is a way to make water pass through coffee powder quickly in a short period of time. The so-called lattes, cappuccinos, American style and so on are all classified as espresso because they are all based on espresso.

Espresso originated in Italy, and its development was promoted to the world by an American coffee company, which is best known as Starbucks.

Many people's freshly ground coffee enlightenment is brought by 'Starbucks' (including myself). I remember that the first time I went to Starbucks, I really did my homework and read countless strategies (concentrated, Herbalife, Macchiato, American, latte, large, medium, oversized) before I dared to order the first cup of freshly molded Italian coffee in my life. I thought it was really TM's bitterness. It was not as good as instant coffee at all!

The essence of hand-brewed coffee: extraction-filtration

Extraction principle: put coffee powder into filter paper or filter, inject hot water of 85-94 degrees under atmospheric pressure, and get coffee liquid by gravity natural dripping extraction.

As a method of extraction, it is also known as "drip brewing". Coffee filter paper was invented by German Ms. Mellita in 1908 (also known as German filter paper brand Mellita). Separate the coffee liquid from the coffee grounds. But then there is a problem. The filter paper needs something to support to better separate the coffee grounds from the coffee liquid. We call this device that can hold filter paper and coffee powder as a "filter cup".

Just using simple utensils and hot water, you can get the beautiful substances in the coffee beans without adding anything during this simple and direct brewing way, it is easier to drink the taste of the coffee itself. The ever-changing flavor of coffee brought about by different varieties, different producing areas, different seasons and different treatments is the reason why hand brewing is fascinating.

A good cup of hand-brewed coffee should have the characteristics of cleanliness, rich layers and obvious flavor. In which you can feel the personality of coffee beans from different places. The acidity of African beans is as bright as the sunshine of Central Africa, while the aroma of coffee beans in Asia is mellow and low-sour, as humble and thick as the Asian people influenced by our Chinese culture.

In addition, hand-made instruments with exquisite workmanship and full sense of design, and filter cups of various shapes and materials are already pleasing to the eye.

Knowledge: unlike what we know about pressure, siphon and espresso, it is easier to make and clean.
