How to make coffee hand-brewed coffee at home Hario V60 filter cup Philharmonic pressure mocha pot recommended

Make coffee at home

Actually, it's not a complicated thing.

It basically depends on your coffee needs and budget.

Coffee is a kind of drink, which is almost the same as tea.

We often go to cafes to spend money.

It's just "I just want to get a drink".

When you make coffee at home, you don't need to buy expensive utensils or wait until all the utensils are ready.

Hand-made coffee

Suitable for people: you who like to study coffee

It is generally composed of hand punching pot, filter cup and filter paper.

Making coffee by hand allows you to get a slightly different taste of coffee each time you brew it.

Water temperature, steaming time, flow size, circle technique, times of water injection, grinding scale, etc.

These details are the factors that affect the flavor of hand-brewed coffee.

Hario V60 filter cup

This is a very popular cooking appliance.

The name comes from its shape-a cone with an angle of 60 °.

It can bring you a clean and rich flavor.

By adjusting the water temperature, grinding degree, powder / water ratio and other parameters, you will also get different flavors of coffee.

Tips: for the first try, you can choose to use finely ground coffee powder, after 30 seconds of steaming

Draw a concentric circle of water on the coffee powder with a thin stream.

(for more methods of brewing v60 filter cup, you can also pay attention to the coffee in front street.)

Kalita cake filter cup

The cake-shaped filter cup of Kalita is similar to the V60, but the principle is quite different.

First of all, the bottom of the cake filter cup is flat and has three small round holes. This detail design will also affect the flow of water.

Water can be more evenly exposed to coffee powder, stable extraction, balanced taste.

This appliance is used in the same way as the V60, using finely ground coffee powder

After steaming, draw concentric circles of water on the coffee powder.

Attention should be paid to the consistency of thickness from beginning to end, regardless of whether you choose a flow or a small flow.

And don't rush to the edge of coffee powder and filter paper.

Of course, you can try different ways of injecting water. For example, multi-stage water injection-each time a small amount of water, divided into multiple water injection to complete.

Smart Cup

Suitable for the crowd: you who pursue convenience and like balanced taste

The smart cup is easy to operate and has relatively few variables.

Smart filter cup is another convenient, simple, fast and stable choice in addition to Philharmonic pressure.

Coffee utensils invented by Taiwanese

To brew coffee with a concept similar to making tea, put filter paper on the smart filter cup first.

And wash the paper with hot water and warm the cup to drain the water through the smart device.

(the middle gate pushes up and the valve opens automatically, so it is called smart filter cup.)

As for the grinding scale of coffee powder, I would suggest that the medium and coarse scale will be more suitable for this appliance.

Its usage is slightly different. First of all, it is up to you to decide whether to wet the filter paper or not.

After the coffee powder is poured into the filter cup, pour in a small amount of hot water first.

Then you can stir, or you can choose not to stir.

After steaming, hot water is injected according to the ratio of powder to water, and it is not required to inject water in a concentric circle.

After the completion of water injection, it can be stirred to help extraction.

When the soaking time is over, drive the filter cup on the sharing pot.

The valve will open automatically and the coffee extraction will be completed.

Philharmonic pressure

Suitable for people: you who are infatuated with the taste of high-alcohol thick coffee

The Philharmonic is born for convenience.

It is a portable device that can quickly make a cup of coffee.

It has the annual World Philharmonic pressure Cooking Competition. But instead of talking about the game,

Rather, people want to celebrate this great invention in this way.

Its play is changeable and operable, and there are no absolute rules.

The coffee made with Philharmonic pressure has a full taste and there is a lot of room for experimental operation.

Philharmonic pressure is very easy for beginners to use.

Philharmonic pressure positive pressure cooking method and reverse pressure cooking method / difference

I think the biggest difference is that when you pour water under positive pressure, coffee will be filtered out at the same time, which will affect the integrity of the taste.

This problem can be avoided by using reverse pressure.

Cooking parameters of Philharmonic pressure

If you ask me for a standard cooking parameter of Philharmonic pressure, I will probably say sorry with you (showdown .jpg)

There are two things I have learned:

The material of the Philharmonic pressure determines its slow heat dissipation and low temperature loss.

However, too high temperature will easily lead to over-extraction, and too low temperature will also lead to insufficient extraction.

Use a lower water temperature:

The use of 84 degrees plus or minus 2 degrees of the temperature range, you can get a more supple, balanced taste.

Mocha pot

Suitable for people: you who have a strong love of drinking Italian style.

The mocha pot is also called "Italian drip filter pot".

Like the French kettle, it is a common coffee brewing appliance.

There are three spaces in the mocha pot, the bottom space is filled with water, and the middle is filled with coffee powder.

The top layer is filled with brewed coffee liquid, with a metal filter in the middle of each layer.

When the mocha pot is heated on the stove, it will produce water vapor and increase the pressure at the bottom.

Make the water pass through the middle layer of coffee powder, and finally stay on the top layer to become brewed coffee.

The coffee at the end of the mocha pot is usually not taken.

Compared with the 9 atmospheric pressure of espresso, although the mocha pot uses 1.5 to 3 atmospheric pressure to brew the coffee

But compared with other ways of making coffee, it is still more mellow and full-bodied.

And can retain grease (Crema), very popular.

French pressure kettle

Applicable to the crowd: you who drink coffee in the simplest way

This should be the most well-known and simplest coffee brewing appliance in the world.

Most of the French presses on the market are friendly to the people and are easy to make. Large-capacity French kettles can also make coffee for multiple people at a time.

The taste is mellow and thick, but it doesn't show the full flavor of coffee beans.

If you pay attention to the surface of the brewed coffee, you can find that the coffee itself contains oil.

The French filter pressure is to put the coffee powder into the French filter kettle and soak it in hot water for a certain period of time before extraction.

The French filter pressure is not like hand-made filter paper to remove the grease from the coffee part.

Therefore, it will have a more different aroma and taste than hand flushing.

Chemex

Suitable for people: Chemex is especially suitable for young artists & for those who want to make coffee for more than one person at a time

A large Chemex can brew coffee for eight people at a time.

For coffee, the most noteworthy thing about this filter cup is the special filter paper it uses.

Chemex special filter paper is thicker, and the final filter paper always retains more grease.

However, because of the deep V design of Chemex appliances

Because the consistency of the taste is difficult to master.

Different from other hand flushing instruments, Chemex is more suitable for medium and rough grinding scales.

The taste of coffee is very clean and the flavor is obvious, but it is difficult to ensure consistency and requires practice.

Household coffee machine

Suitable for the crowd: depth & a deep coffee-loving trench

Household coffee machine can be divided into Italian fully automatic coffee machine, Italian semi-automatic coffee machine,

There are four kinds of coffee machine: drip filter coffee machine and capsule coffee machine.

Italian fully automatic and semi-automatic coffee machine

Italian fully automatic and semi-automatic coffee machines are fully automatic without manual operation.

Can automatically grind, fill and make coffee

You can enjoy the coffee by putting the coffee beans. The structure corresponding to the rich function is more complex, and the maintenance cost is higher.

Semi-automatic is called the most professional coffee machine, and the extraction is better than full-automatic.

However, it needs to be filled and pressed manually, which requires higher requirements for the operator.

Compared with fully automatic, it has the advantages of simple structure and easy maintenance.

Drip filter coffee machine

The drip filter coffee machine is also known as American fully automatic.

The concentration of drip filter coffee is relatively light, and the operation is relatively simple. The finished product can be produced in 5-8 minutes.

It is very suitable for use in home and office. But because it's atmospheric hot water,

Therefore, the coffee oil can not be extracted, and the coffee concentration is not high.

If you don't want to drink instant coffee but don't pursue Italian concentration, a drip coffee maker will be recommended.

Capsule coffee machine

If you want to drink espresso and are afraid of trouble, the capsule coffee maker is the best choice.

You can enjoy the taste of espresso by using one click of coffee capsule.

Some capsules can also be paired to make fancy coffee.

The deficiency is that the cost of use is relatively high, the price of Italian full-automatic and semi-automatic espresso is 1-3 yuan, and the cost of capsule is 3-9 yuan.

In addition, various brands of capsules are not compatible.

The choice of capsule coffee machine is actually a selection system.

The capsule system determines the number of capsules you can enjoy later as well as the price of the capsules.

The household coffee machine can make the mellow espresso you like.

At the same time, you can train yourself to be a barista.

The above is a general introduction to household appliances.

They all have one thing in common, as long as you master simple brewing skills.

You can get a cup of coffee of your own!
