The basic knowledge of hand-brewing coffee the cooking method of siphon pot

Siphon pot, commonly known as "glass ball" or "siphon", is a simple and easy-to-use method of coffee brewing, and it is also one of the most popular coffee brewing methods in cafes. Although the siphon kettle has the nickname of "plug wind type", it has nothing to do with the siphon principle, but uses water heating to produce water vapor, causing hot expansion and cold contraction, pushing the hot water from the lower sphere to the upper pot, and then sucking back the water from the upper pot after the lower pot cools. Does that sound mysterious? Not at all. Follow the following steps and you will understand! Preparation supplies: siphon pot group, industrial alcohol, lighter, bamboo spoon for mixing, dry wet dishcloth, water-hook filter element, fill the pot with hot water and mark it with the "two cups" icon. Put the filter element into the pot, hold the end of the chain with your hand, and gently hook it to the end of the glass tube. Be careful not to release the hook suddenly, so as not to damage the glass tube of the upper pot.

Second, ignite-insert the pot diagonally-wait for a big bubble to light the alcohol lamp, insert the upper pot diagonally, put the rubber edge against the spout of the lower pot and soak the chain in the water of the lower pot. Then boil the water and wait for the pot to produce continuous bubbles. Just put the upper pot diagonally, don't let it clog the next pot, small bubbles don't count, wait for big bubbles to appear.

Third, upright-insert into the upper pot when large bubbles appear in the lower pot, straighten the upper pot, shake it left and right and press it down slightly, so that it is gently stuffed into the lower pot. After the upper pot is plugged in, you can see that the water in the next pot begins to climb up. If you have a bean grinder, you can start grinding beans now! Two cups of water use a medium grinding scale of three spoonfuls of coffee.

4. Let the water in the next pot rise completely to the top pot. After the water has completely risen to the top pot, don't worry, wait a few seconds, and then prepare to pour in the coffee powder after the bubbles rise to the top pot.

Fifth, pour in the coffee powder-stir and pour in the ground coffee powder, move it around with a stirring bamboo spoon, and put the coffee powder evenly into the water. The timing starts at the same time as the first stirring. Stir gently to avoid violent stirring. If it is fresh coffee powder, it will float on the surface to form a layer of powder. At this time, the coffee powder needs to be stirred so that the flavor of the coffee can be completely extracted. The correct stirring action is to move the bamboo spoon in the left and right direction, with a "strong way" of downward pressure, to "press" the coffee powder floating on the surface of the water below the surface.

6. Stir twice more-after turning off the first stir, time 30 seconds, make the second stir, and then time 20 seconds for the final stirring-- then remove the alcohol lamp. Take a slightly wet dishcloth prepared in advance and gently wrap the side of the lower pot from the side to prevent the wet cloth from touching the place where the alcohol flame at the bottom of the lower pot touches, so as to prevent the pot from breaking. At this time, you can see that the water in the upper pot is quickly "pulled" to the lower pot. If your coffee is fresh enough, there will be a lot of light brown foam in the pot. 7. After the coffee is sucked into the lower pot, hold the upper pot in one hand and the handle of the lower pot in the other, gently shake the upper pot to the left and right to pull out the upper pot and the lower pot. Pour the coffee into a warm coffee cup and enjoy the mellow coffee that you have prepared by hand.
