Selection and purchase of coffee pots and cups

Buy a coffee pot.

Now the coffee pots on the market are all drip-type, and they are divided into Japanese style, American style and Italian style.

The Japanese coffee maker, also known as the siphon pot, has an alcohol lamp on the base and two glass balls on it. It heats the water from the lower glass ball to produce steam, pushes the hot water from the lower sphere to the upper pot, and then sucks back the coffee extracted from the upper glass ball after the next pot cools. Making coffee in a Japanese coffee pot has the interest of doing chemical experiments. But burning requires a certain amount of technology, and you have to use your hands to shake the alcohol lamp below to control the temperature. It is suitable for people who have time and leisure. Japanese coffee pot requires coffee beans to be ground with slightly thicker particles, which is suitable for single coffee with slightly sour taste.

The American coffee maker is based on an electric brewing machine, which is suitable for medium or partial deep roasting coffee with slightly fine grinding particles. The taste is bitter. The American coffee maker has the function of heat preservation, but if the heat preservation time is too long, the coffee will easily turn sour.

The espresso pot is a machine that allows steam to quickly extract coffee through coffee powder through high pressure and high temperature. the optimum temperature for brewing coffee is between 90 ℃ and 98 min. The Italian coffee maker does a pretty good job of temperature control. Household espresso pots often have a bubbling mouth to make cappuccinos. In addition, most espresso pots also have the function of keeping the cup warm, which is very important. If you use a cold cup to serve coffee, it will taste bad.

Buy coffee cups.

Coffee cups are generally made of pottery and porcelain. In recent years, under the concept that coffee must be drank hot, cup makers have developed ceramic cups with thermal insulation effect and bone porcelain cups that are more exquisite than porcelain cups.

The hue of the coffee cup is also very important. The color of the coffee liquid is amber and clear. In order to show the characteristics of coffee, it is best to use a white coffee cup. Some manufacturers ignore this problem in the production, in the coffee cup interior on a variety of colors, and even describe the practice of complex fine patterns, it is often difficult for us to distinguish the coffee brewing by the coffee color.

In addition, according to the type of coffee and drinking method, with drinking occasions and other conditions to choose.

Generally speaking, pottery cups are more suitable for deep-fried and full-bodied coffee, while porcelain cups are suitable for lighter coffee. In addition, drinking Italian coffee generally uses a small coffee cup with less than 100 milliliters, while drinking coffee with a high proportion of milk, such as latte and French milk coffee, use mugs without a cup holder. For the weight of the cup, it is appropriate to choose the lighter one, because the lighter cup has a denser texture, which means that the raw material particles of the cup are fine, and the cup noodles are so tight that it is not easy to make coffee dirt adhere to the cup noodles.
