How does flannel hand-made coffee taste good? Correct storage of flannel filter cloth

Speaking of flannel filter cloth, we can't help thinking of Japanese coffee, and pictures of "holding the filter cloth in the left hand and the coffee pot in the right hand, seriously making coffee" pour into our minds.

This makes people wonder what the magic of this little filter cloth can make them so fascinated. What are the characteristics of flannel nowadays most hand-brewed coffee uses a filter cup with filter paper as a filtering tool, and the filter cup plays a guiding role, that is, it can extract better coffee. In fact, it is the filter paper that acts as a filter. So, this problem is almost the same as something that flannel can do, but filter paper can't. Filter paper in front of the street has also said a lot, now the mainstream still uses filter paper to filter coffee, first of all, it has strong filtering performance, easy to achieve a cup of coffee without residue, and the second is its low price, about 3-4 cents per piece. And flannel, it is actually a kind of cloth, this material is cotton surface on one side and suede surface on the other. Cotton noodles feel refreshing and can feel the roughness brought by the braided lines. On the other hand, the suede has some fine velvet, which feels soft.

If you look at the flannel in the sun, you can clearly see the cracks formed by the lines interlaced with each other. So the most important feature of flannel is that the gap of flannel is much larger than that of filter paper, allowing grease and other insoluble substances to easily drip into coffee through the filter cloth, which can improve the mellow taste. Generally speaking, flannel filter cloth used by hand is sewn from two or three pieces of flannel. The sewing joint is usually convex to the other side of the suede surface. This also gives rise to the second question, which side should be used to make coffee with flannel. Qianjie believes that there is no difference between the pros and cons of flannel filter, both sides can be used to make coffee, and will not affect the taste of coffee. However, from the major Japanese cafes to use flannel coffee performance, will be more inclined to use cotton noodles for coffee, the reason is also very simple, first, the velvet surface glued to coffee grounds will increase the difficulty of cleaning, and the other is that the seam is on the other side of the velvet surface, if the suede surface is used as the inner surface, the shape of coffee powder is no longer pure geometry and can affect the performance of the extraction. How to make coffee with flannel use flannel as a filtering tool, it does not need a filter cup as a support and guidance like filter paper, flannel filter cloth can be fixed with a metal ring, can be held by hand or placed on the sharing pot. Generally speaking, when using flannel cooking, you will choose to hold it by hand because it will be more flexible.

Before cooking, please boil the flannel in boiling water for 5 minutes. On the one hand, disinfection, on the other hand, let the water thoroughly integrate into the fiber to maintain a stable state. And brewed coffee beans generally choose medium and deep roasting, grinding will also be too thick, about 20 sieve pass rate of 60% Murray 65%. The amount of powder is about 2 to 3 of the flannel capacity. The small flannel used in the street before, the amount of powder used in 20-25g is more appropriate. When injecting water, it is necessary to cooperate with the left and right hands to make the coffee powder fully wet, and the flow of water injection will be very small, because there is no diversion trough or closed trough for the filter cup, so it will be concentrated in the central small circle to prevent the water from flowing away from the edge.

Similarly, flannel is mostly cooked with a ratio of powder to liquid at 1:10, that is, 20g powder is extracted to 200ml's coffee liquid. The way flannel is preserved flannel filter can be used many times, as long as it is preserved correctly. Many people think that flannel can be washed, dried and stored in a dark and dry place, but this is not right. Continuous drying, wetting and drying will destroy the fiber structure of flannel.

This can not only maintain the fiber structure of flannel, but also achieve the effect of bacteriostasis and mildew inhibition, and the next time you use it, you should boil it in boiling water for 5 minutes.
