Coffee common sense correct use of household coffee utensils

Drip coffee machine, also known as American coffee machine. Its prototype is hand-brewed filtered coffee, but it makes hand-brewed filtration by manual operation of electrical and automated. The principle is to generate heat through an electric heating tube, distil water to the sprinkler, condense it into hot water, and evenly drip it onto the coffee powder on the filter (funnel). When the coffee pot pushes the switch on the filter, coffee flows into the coffee pot.

Hand-brewed coffee is one of the oldest coffee brewing methods, and it is still a must for many home brewers to drink high quality coffee. The essence of this method is that water naturally seeps through coffee powder to achieve coffee extraction. In terms of taste, the drip coffee machine is a manual process of electrification, so the taste and taste can completely achieve the purpose of expressing the characteristics of coffee itself.

Drip coffee machine is also the most commonly used family coffee machine in China, according to the survey, about 60% of the families currently use this coffee machine. In addition to inheriting the traditional hand-brewed drip coffee, this coffee machine can be automatically brewed by the machine. Therefore, convenience has become the key word of this machine. In terms of drinking method, it also does not need to comply with the rules, you can enjoy the natural taste of coffee like tea; you can taste it, enjoy the special softness produced by mixing coffee and milk; you can drink coffee as usual in a large cup, and you can drink it in a small cup, such as cherishing the size of time.

This coffee needs to be of the right strength. With the right concentration, all the characteristics of good coffee can be represented. Therefore, a reasonable amount of coffee powder corresponding to the appropriate amount of water is the key to ensure that the coffee taste is not distorted. Recommended brewing water powder ratio: 8 g/120 ml (powder/water).

A common problem is confusion between home and commercial coffee machines. Some families mistakenly think that when purchasing, they should try to buy large capacity, and brew as much as they need. In the family use guidance, some families bought 12 cups or even larger capacity, but most of them brewed 2~3 cups in actual use. The result is that coffee is not steeped long enough, the extraction effect is not good, and the taste is weak.

In fact, most drip coffee machines are labeled with minimum and maximum brew volumes. This is because the heating pipe of the water heater of the drip coffee machine is fixed heating power, and the power of the heating pipe of different sizes of coffee machines is different, and the larger the machine heating pipe power is, the larger the machine heating pipe power is. Its role is, regardless of the size of the coffee machine, in 2 to 3 minutes, so that the maximum capacity of water heater to be fully promoted and evaporated, this 2 to 3 minutes, is just a reasonable brewing time for soaking filter coffee. Only at this time coffee extraction is more ideal, taste is also the best. More than that, the coffee is over-extracted, and the coffee has a mixed taste and a burnt taste; less than that, the coffee is either under-flavored, under-mellow, or simply tasteless.

Therefore, the family to buy drip-type coffee machine, should be based on the family regular use of coffee to determine the size, the minimum brewing amount is the reference indicator. Generally 2~3 people family, buy 4~6 cups brewing volume is more appropriate; if single use, 2~4 cups brewing volume is enough.

Recommendations:

1, recognize and accept drip coffee is a kind of filtered coffee, convenient and free to drink the need is the purpose of purchasing this coffee machine.

2, coffee machine capacity is an important reference when purchasing a machine, each brewing amount must be greater than the minimum reasonable brewing amount. When buying a machine, you should know how many cups of coffee you need to brew at least at a time.

3) The appropriate concentration. Water powder ratio: 8 g/120 ml (powder/water)

4, the correct coffee powder particle size: medium fine particle size. It is best to ask the coffee bean supplier for a medium and fine powder sample for reference.
