The brewing steps of the smart cup description of the flavor and taste of the Costa Rican rose summer

Coffee lovers should have more or less heard of the smart cup as a coffee brewing apparatus. Where is the smart cup? This time Qianjie Coffee is going to talk about where the "cleverness" of the Smart Cup is, and what is the principle of its brewing?

The Smart Cup, which originated in Taiwan and has the full name "Clever Coffee Dripper", is a filter cup with a controllable on-off valve at the bottom.

Because there is "Clever" in the name, and because the cup is easy to use, "Smart Cup" has become its synonym. In principle, only this Mr. Clever filter cup can be called "smart cup", while other similar brands can only be called "switch cup" or "quasi-smart cup". ) "Coffee Dripper" means that this cup can be used as a hand filter cup. Because there is a "Clever" in the name, and because the cup is easy to use, "Smart Cup" has become its synonym.

Many coffee lovers come to Qianjie to ask if there is such a brewing appliance that likes to drink hand-made coffee but does not want to operate as complicated as the V60. At this time, the baristas on the front street will recommend smart cups.

1. One cup is dual-use, which can not only be used as a normal filter cup for passing extraction, but also can be used to make coffee with immersion extraction.

2. The operation is simple: using the immersion extraction method, it is less affected by water injection and techniques, and it is more friendly for friends who are difficult to improve flow control and water injection in a short period of time. As long as the ratio of powder to water, grinding degree, water temperature, time and other parameters are fixed, you can basically get good and replicable coffee.

Smart cup principle

The key to the design lies in the piston valve at the bottom of the filter cup. After boiling water is injected into the filter cup, the water pressure will make the piston valve automatically close and stop the water, and the coffee powder can be fully soaked in it; after the soaking is completed, the filter cup will be placed on the mug, the chassis will be pressed to open the piston valve, and the coffee will slowly flow into the cup.
