What kind of coffee is suitable for siphon pot? comparison of the characteristics of siphon coffee and hand coffee

Generally speaking, the siphon pot is not as common as ground coffee (such as espresso) because it is much more technical than ground coffee, and the procedure is more complicated, but relatively speaking, siphon coffee is more hierarchical and mellow than ground coffee, so people who like the pure strong flavor of coffee can not miss the single coffee brewed by siphon pot.

Since it comes to individual coffee, for the boutique coffee that is now popular in the coffee market, the coffee beans to be boiled in the siphon pot are indispensable.

Convenience

Siphon coffee must be heated in real time, such as alcohol lamp or halogen lamp, so siphon coffee is slightly less convenient than hand coffee or other coffee making methods.

Temperature of extraction

The temperature is usually about 90 °C-92 °C when brewing coffee, but because the siphon coffee maker needs to be constantly heated to maintain pressure to push water up, the temperature is difficult to control. On the contrary, the temperature of hand coffee is easier to control. Temperature is one of the main reasons that affect the extraction rate of coffee powder, thus affecting the flavor of coffee.

The mode of extraction

When making siphon coffee, when the water boils and flows up the pot, the coffee powder is soaked in water. Hand-brewed coffee is extracted by a hand pot by dripping. In contrast, due to the use of hand pot, the speed of water will affect the taste of coffee, so the use of soaked siphon coffee will be relatively stable.

Extraction time

Because siphon coffee is made by soaking, it takes less time to make than hand-brewed coffee, which is generally said to be finished in 40-50 seconds. Hand coffee is made in about two to three minutes. If the extraction time is too long, it will produce astringent taste.

The way of filtering

Siphon coffee uses flannel filter cloth to filter coffee powder, while hand-brewed coffee usually uses filter paper. The biggest difference is that filter paper absorbs oil released by coffee powder while flannel filter cloth does not. There is a decisive taste difference between siphon coffee and hand-brewed coffee.

The flavor of coffee

The characteristic of hand-brewed coffee is that it can cause the sour taste and aroma of coffee. The extraction temperature of siphon coffee is higher, and the essence of coffee will be released in a short time, making the coffee more bitter. At the same time, because the flannel filter cloth of the siphon coffee pot does not filter the coffee oil, it makes the siphon coffee taste thicker and round.
