Characteristics of Qianjie-v60 hand brewed coffee

The V60 we use is called "V60" because its V-shaped angle is 60 °, which can highlight the texture and flavor of coffee itself.

The shape of the whole cone is like a filter, because of the conical structure, the distribution of the powder layer is concentrated, the surface area is smaller, the thickness of the powder layer will be thicker, the passage of the water flow forms a "gravity extrusion", and the coffee substance is transferred downwards, so that most of the concentrated layers will eat water together, thus releasing more soluble matter.

Usually we see the diversion slot of the V60 filter cup, that is, the ribs we often say are very obvious and prominent, which means that there will be a good gap between the filter paper and the cup wall, and the air fluidity will be very good. The water level will drop faster. In addition, the bottom of the V60 filter cup is equipped with large holes, which also makes this type of filter cup much faster than the fan-shaped three-hole filter cup.

Due to the shape of the cone, the whole coffee powder layer can quickly get all the water, so the V60 filter cup does not need intermittent multiple water supply when brewing, so that the coffee powder layer can reach a state of balance between running water and water supply. in this way, the requirement for the operator's ability to control water is reduced, coupled with the design of large holes, the existence of water immersion in the powder layer is reduced. The whole is in a state of unified extraction of all the powder layers, and the operator only needs to maintain this balance until the set target amount of coffee is reached.

The next thing to talk about is the role of the diversion tank in the V60 filter cup. Just now we have been talking about the design of the filter cup with conical enlarged holes, so that the overall flow rate is faster than that of the fan-shaped filter cup, then there will be a worry. That is, the flow rate is too fast, will not be enough extraction, so that part of the coffee powder is not extracted or insufficient extraction, resulting in a single flavor. So how can this worry be properly made up? This is the function of the diversion groove.

The spiral diversion trough can increase the extraction force when the water falls, and this secondary force produced by the flow along the vortex structure of the diversion channel will make the coffee powder release more soluble substances, thus making the coffee flavor intact. To a certain extent, it makes up for the possibility of insufficient extraction.

On the whole, the V60 filter cup is not particularly stringent for the operator's practical experience, but the thickness of caffeine brewed from V60 is weaker, the imported flavor is good, but the persistence is weak and lack of layering. But basically, you can get coffee that tastes good, at least with less penetration of extract or miscellaneous flavors.

In short: Qianjie is a coffee research hall, happy to share the knowledge about coffee with you, we share unreservedly just to make more friends fall in love with coffee, and there will be three low-discount coffee activities every month. The reason is that Qianjie wants to make more friends drink the best coffee at the lowest price, which has been Qianjie's tenet for 6 years!
