Friends who love coffee must not be satisfied with just drinking coffee, and they will definitely enjoy the taste of making coffee by themselves. The easiest way to achieve this goal is to get a set of hand-made equipment.

The cost of getting started with hand-brewed coffee will be much lower than that of an espresso machine, but as your technology improves, more and more money will be invested later (better beans, better equipment) and, in theory, uncapped. Therefore, Qianjie will calculate the cost input for beginners this time. (the choice of equipment will not be the cheapest, because it takes into account the difficulty of beginners, so the budget calculated below is intended to make coffee for a long time, and the equipment ensures that there is no need to replace the novice equipment within 1 year.) A. Hand pot as an important instrument for making coffee, just like a swordsman's sword, choosing a pot is like choosing a sword. There are dozens of hand-made pots and thousands of yuan hand-made pots on the market, and the styles of the pots are even more varied. For beginners, it is easier to use a more popular hand-made pot. If you have water boilers at home, the price of a hand punch pot without a heating device will be lower. According to the price of each platform, the price of B pot is 280 yuan. If you choose the temperature-controlled version, the price is calculated at 500 yuan.

b. A thermometer needs to be equipped with a thermometer if it is not a thermostat. Of course, the prices of thermometers vary widely, from as low as 20 yuan to as high as hundreds of yuan. As for the difference between them, the experience of Qianjie is that the temperature with high price refreshes faster, the reading is more accurate, and the refresh with lower price is slower. In view of the experience problem, Qianjie takes the price of the sloshing thermometer 85 yuan as the calculation index.

c. For filter cups, beginners suggest buying a resin version of V60, which will initially allow you to flush all the coffee beans. If you only consider the functionality, the appearance can be compromised, the price of opaque resin version is 40 yuan.

d. The price of filter paper is about the same. The Kono filter paper used in the street before is calculated at RMB 32 per pack.

e. In fact, sharing the pot is not necessary, you can buy good-looking glass containers in major glass container stores, the price is about 40 yuan. If you don't stick to trivialities, it's okay to take any container at home. (sometimes for convenience at home, I often use the mug from which I drink water as a pot

If you need a sense of ritual, buy professional coffee utensils, which cost about 100-150 yuan. f. The front street of the bean grinder thinks that this appliance is the most important, and it is easy to grind to make good coffee. For beginners, it is cheaper to choose a hand mill, but Qianjie does not recommend you to buy a cheap hand mill, because its grinding accuracy and quality are difficult to guarantee. If you really want to make good coffee. Qianjie thinks that this instrument is worth a lot of investment. The price of the mid-range hand mill of Tai Mill is 699 yuan as the calculation basis. Then the hand mill needs to clean the utensils, painting + blowing the ball, the budget is about 30 yuan. g. Electronic scale for beginners, equipped with a timing function of the electronic scale is very necessary. Like thermometers, low-cost electronic scales have the disadvantages of low refresh and jumping. According to the previous experience of using electronic scales in the street, it is not recommended to use the design of integrating the button with the platform, because when pressing the button, the pressure of the finger will be pressed on the platform, causing temporary distortion of the data. The comprehensive calculation is based on the price of the electronic scale of watchget 85 yuan.

h. Coffee beans when all the coffee equipment is ready, the protagonist will be invited to appear. If you have just learned to brew coffee by hand, Qianjie does not recommend buying expensive coffee beans right away. After all, the cost is too high. It is recommended to choose some entry-level hand-brewed beans, such as the 7 food rations in Qianjie. The price is 25 yuan / 100g. The purpose of Qianjie to make this series of beans is to let more novices know the world of individual coffee at a lower cost. At the beginning, the cost of coffee beans is calculated at 100 yuan per month.

All in all, it costs about 1400 yuan to enjoy making coffee comfortably at home. This is much lower than the initial cost of the toy coffee machine.
