The Philharmonic presses the coffee pot for 20 seconds to make a cup of coffee.

Tencent Home Telecom (translated: Mike) Today, there are many ways for us ordinary people to get a delicious cup of coffee at home. However, there is no doubt that the most convenient and popular device is called AeroPress, which has a syringe-like appearance and uses the principle of manual pressure extraction, which can quickly get a delicious cup of coffee on a very simple premise. More importantly, the price of Philharmonic pressure is also very cheap, as little as $25.

Since the launch of Philharmonic pressure in 2005, it has attracted countless enthusiastic and loyal users, from white-collar workers to housewives, and even Coffee Geek critics have called it "the most valuable tool in the coffee field." Matt Galligan, founder and CEO of Circa, wants to take the Philharmonic with him wherever he goes in the world. At the same time, Philharmonic pressure also holds a manual coffee-making competition every year, and contestants from all over the world use this most simple way to compete for who can best control the powder and concentration of coffee. "there is no other way so easy and interesting." Jeff Verellen, the world champion of the two-time Philharmonic Competition, said.

Compared with other coffee equipment, the birth process of Philharmonic pressure is not in the laboratory of a large company, but by an American inventor, Alan Adler. He is a lecturer, electrical engineer, amateur physicist and toy enthusiast at Stanford University. As he was not satisfied with the coffee made at home, he began to look for a new way to make it. He identified factors that affect coffee taste time, temperature, and coffee grinding, and developed a simple device to coordinate these factors. From then on, the Philharmonic pressure was born.

The principle and usage of Philharmonic pressure is very simple: a hard plastic pipe, a filter cover, a rubber sealing plug. The basic kit also includes a blender, a spoon and filter paper for a year, and a funnel to pour coffee powder into a plastic tube.

Before we begin, we should put the Philharmonic pressure filter paper into the filter paper cover, and let the filter paper wet to better fit the filter paper cover. Next, install the filter paper cover on the filter cartridge, and then stand the device on the cup where the coffee is held. Next, pour the coffee powder into the filter cartridge through a special measuring spoon for Philharmonic pressure, then pour it into the filter cartridge with 80 degrees of hot water and reach the specified scale. After gently stirring, wet the rubber seal plug, insert the pressure rod into the filter cartridge, gently press for about 20 seconds, and then an espresso is done. Then we can continue to add water or hot milk according to our preferences and turn it into American coffee or latte.

The cleaning process of Philharmonic pressure is also extremely simple, and the filter paper can even be reused 5 to 6 times. Take apart the Philharmonic, put it under the faucet and rinse directly, and the whole process does not take 20 seconds.

For those who love coffee, the coffee concentration pressed by the Philharmonic is very flexible and can be adapted to their own taste by adjusting the water or coffee powder. So if you like a cup of espresso but don't like the taste of instant coffee, then AeroPress will definitely tell you how to make a perfect cup of coffee with your own hands.
