Wet or non-wet?

In the early years, when I was still surfing the Internet, I had the privilege of witnessing an "academic debate" between two groups of netizens on this issue.

Here is the main point of this debate:

Positive side: wet filter paper pie (mainstream faction) the opposite side: non-wet filter paper pie

Square argument | filter paper tastes good, wet filter paper needs to be washed.

It smells like paper on the filter paper.

Times have changed, and drifting filter paper is tasteless and pollution-free. | the opposing party argues.

Square argument | Wet filter paper can also preheat filter cup and sharing pot.

This problem can also be done with non-wet filter paper. | two arguments on the opposite side.

But after the wet filter paper is poured into the coffee powder, it will be extracted in advance.

Square argument | the coffee liquid in the front section of the non-wet filter paper will be absorbed by the filter paper

The brown color of the filter paper is a good proof.

Non-wet filter paper can better vaporize and exhaust. | | three arguments between the opposing party |

Square argument | the most important thing for wet filter paper is to fit the filter cup.

Depending on the weight of coffee powder, | four arguments on the opposing side

It fits well without wetting.

……

Wet and not wet, should no longer be a problem!

Whether it is wet filter paper pie or non-wet filter paper pie, they say that the views discussed are opposite but reasonable. So do you want wet filter paper or non-wet filter paper? [practice is the only criterion for testing truth]

For the previous street, a comparative experiment of wet filter paper and non-wet filter paper was carried out, the details are as follows:

It can be seen that the biggest debate about wetting and non-wetting is that sticking the filter cup will not be a problem at all. Whether the filter paper fits completely with the filter cup depends on the matching degree between the filter paper and the filter cup. How to wet the filter paper with poor matching will not completely fit. Moreover, it is also related to personal habits, and the fitting state of some partners' non-wetting filter paper will be better than that of wet filter paper.

The second biggest debate about paper flavor, now large brands of filter paper are bleached with bioactive enzymes, which can effectively remove the smell of logs, and these technologies are widely used in the field of medicine, and their harm is close to zero. The big-brand filter paper is only 30 cents a piece (rounded is for nothing), and the quality is reliable. Of course, if you buy log filter paper or have quality problems (with a bad smell), it is recommended to flush the filter paper or stop using it.

Finally, it is about the change of taste. In practice, it is concluded that the difference is not obvious, almost the same. In other words, in a stable grasp of the five major parameters of coffee brewing, the wet filter paper does not matter for the flavor, as for the preheating problem of the filter cup, if the filter cup made of resin is used, it will not be a big problem, and the resin material will not absorb heat and keep warm. There is little difference between preheating or not. As for glass or ceramic filter cups, wet the filter paper in the process of preheating.

Finally, with the development of the times, the utensils of coffee are also improving, and the brewing technology is also being improved. now, there is no room for debate on whether the filter paper should be wetted or not. Follow your own habits and like wet filter paper. It's okay to get used to non-wet filter paper!
