Share tips on how to inject vertical water from hand-brewed coffee! What are the practice methods for making coffee by hand and injecting water in circles?

How to maintain a stable and vertical water flow when injecting water is an issue that many new friends will pay attention to, because the water flow injected by novice friends during the brewing process is always large and small, intermittently, and the circles drawn when injecting water in circles are not round enough, so every time a friend sees the "superb" brewing skills in Qianjie,

, you will start asking for tips on water flow control.

Although practice makes perfect, stable injection of vertical water requires a lot of practice to improve proficiency. But if you know some of the techniques in advance, the practice time can definitely be greatly shortened. So today, Qianjie came to share with you how novices can inject a stable and vertical water flow and stably rush out a pot of delicious coffee ~

How to inject a stable and vertical water flow? If the friend in front of the screen has not purchased a water filling bottle and has plans to buy it, then you can first consider purchasing a more suitable water filling bottle. Because there are many styles of water injection bottles, the feel and holding methods of different water injection bottles will be different. Therefore, Qianjie will recommend that you buy a water injection bottle that you intend to use for a long time before starting to practice, so as to avoid the need to adapt again because of the feeling and holding method. The selection of water filling bottles was previously shared in the previous article "How to Choose a Hand-Made Water Filling Bottle that suits You". Interested friends can move forward and learn about it ~

When you are equipped with a water filling bottle, you can start formal practice. First of all, the Qianjie Association recommends that you first inject the maximum amount of water into the kettle that you can accept, because if the weight of the kettle is too light, it will not be easy for novices to inject water stably. If the weight is too light, the kettle will easily be erratic if the force is not properly controlled during water injection, which naturally makes it difficult to steadily inject a vertical water flow. When the filling bottle is heavy enough, this situation will be greatly reduced, which naturally helps us inject the vertical water more stably. In addition, there is another reason, that is, when there is a large amount of water, we do not need to tilt the body too much to inject vertical water. Coupled with the stability brought by weight, this makes it easier for novice friends to inject vertical water and maintain stability. That's why Qianjie recommended everyone to inject the maximum amount of water they can accept into the kettle.

Why is it the maximum amount of water you can accept? It's very simple, because the brewing process of hand-brewed coffee usually takes about 2 minutes, and during this process we need to hold the kettle and fill water. In order to ensure that our brewing process is not too laborious and relatively relaxed, we'd better control the hot water in the kettle. More can help us inject vertical water, but not affect our brewing too much. Experience. Of course, holding the pot with both hands is also a good way to stabilize the body of the pot. Hold the handle with one hand and hold the lid with the other hand, which can effectively increase stability. Not only that, this posture seems quite professional to outsiders. It can add a delicious BUFF to the coffee ~

In terms of actual operation, if we want to stably inject vertical water and circle it, we only need to do the following two things. The first point is that when we inject water in a circle, we should try not to circle the circle by turning the wrist, but to complete the circle by translating the arm and body. Many novice friends do not move their arms and bodies when circling and injecting water, but move their wrists. When circling forward, their wrists will inadvertently raise, and when circling back, they will lower them again. Not only is the circle formed in this way not round enough, but the water flow will be large and small, and it is easy to be intermittent. The reason is also very simple. The tilt angle of the kettle is constantly changing, so the water flow is affected by the tilt of the kettle and the gradual decrease of water volume, making it difficult to maintain vertical.

But if we complete the circle by translating our arms and bodies, then the kettle will always be at the same level, which not only injects vertical water more stably, but also helps us to better inject water around the circle (although it won't have much impact if it is not round). So then we only need to master one more small skill to ensure that the vertical water flow can be injected steadily all the time ~ What skill? That is: Gradually increase the tilt of the kettle. When making coffee, the water in the kettle will gradually decrease as it is poured out (good nonsense). During the decrease, if we do not increase the tilt, the water pressure will be reduced and the amount of water poured out will be affected by this. It will be reduced, and the water column will become smaller as a result, and then it will not be able to maintain its vertical stability. But if we gradually increase the tilt of the kettle as the amount of water decreases, then the amount of water poured out will remain the same throughout the process, and it will naturally be easier to steadily inject vertical water.

Therefore, as long as everyone practices injecting water according to these two points, Qianjie believes that everyone will be able to inject vertical water freely and quickly.
