Will it affect the hand-brewed coffee filter paper not attached to the filter cup? Sharing of conical filter paper folding pressing skills!

If you are a friend who has been following Qianjie for some time, it will not be difficult to find that this topic is not the first time Qianjie has mentioned it (of course, it is not just this

), because every three or five friends will ask Qianjie this question when buying beans at Qianjie stores, that is, whether the filter paper does not fit the filter cup will have an impact on cooking. The reason why friends often ask this question is that many times people find that even if their filter papers are stacked neatly according to the dotted line, some of them will still not fit together. So, will the filter paper not fit together have an impact on the extraction of coffee?

The answer is-for most filter cups, yes! Why? Because many times we need to fit the filter paper and the filter cup to make some special designs of the filter cup work, for example, the guide bone of the filter cup. Here is an example of the V60 with a large number of ribs and long ribs. The V60's flow guide groove has two functions. One is to guide the water flow so that hot water can flow along the ribs, thereby contacting and extracting more coffee powder; the other is to support the filter paper and form a channel, allowing the brewing process. Carbon dioxide emitted from the body of the coffee powder can have more space to flow, thereby increasing the speed of water entry.

No matter which effect it is, it requires the filter paper to be attached to the filter cup, or the filter paper to be in contact with the ribs to produce it. Therefore, from this perspective alone, it is still important to make the filter paper and the filter cup highly fit. In addition, the higher the fit between the filter paper and the filter cup, the less gaps we will have when brewing, especially for those filter cups with smooth walls and no diversion bones. The filter paper ensures that all the hot water we inject can come into contact with the coffee powder.

If the fit is poor, there will be many gaps where hot water can flow. If we mistakenly inject hot water into these filter papers that are not fitted to the filter cup, bypass water will easily be generated, resulting in uneven extraction or the coffee taste is thin and dull. Qianjie once conducted such an experiment, using filter paper cups that fit perfectly with other degrees of fit to brew coffee, and then comparing their values and taste.

Putting aside the influence of techniques, there is indeed a certain difference in the results. Although the difference is not very big, it is still a real impact, whether in terms of taste or parameters. Therefore, the degree of fit between the filter paper and the filter cup is still important for most filter cups. It doesn't matter. Next, Qianjie will come to share with you two tips that can make the filter paper and the filter cup more closely. They should help you better make the filter paper adhere to the filter cup and make delicious coffee more stably.

Tip 1: The problem that the filter paper does not fit well with the filter cup when folded less/more often comes from the conical filter cup. The reason is also very simple, because not all conical filter cups have the same taper, or standard conical filter paper may not be suitable for all conical filter cups. So sometimes, we need to fold more or less when folding the filter paper to change the folding angle of the filter paper so that it can fit perfectly with the filter cup currently used.

Tip 2: Press the filter paper, if the filter paper fits perfectly with the filter cup, but the filter paper will automatically deviate when you soak it with water. In this case, we only need to do one thing to make the filter paper "obey". Make it a perfect fit-use your fingers to press the coffee powder.

With no problems in folding, the reason why the filter paper deviates when we wet it is because it has not come into contact with the filter cup at the beginning. Since there are no attachments, we naturally cannot get the filter paper to stick to the filter cup when we wet it with water. Therefore, we can take out our two fingers and press on one side of the filter paper when wetting the filter paper, so that the filter paper will not move around and run around when wetting the filter paper, and naturally it can fit perfectly with the filter cup.

So the above is all the content shared by Qianjie this time ~ It is worth mentioning that both Qianjie Taobao and Tmall flagship stores only sell freshly baked coffee beans, and do not sell raw beans or filter papers or other utensils. Oh ~
