How to Make an American Coffee Maker

American coffee pot is easy to operate and easy to clean. It is the first choice for home and business coffee.

And now sometimes buyers send coffee pots like this.

Even coffee farmers in coffee producing areas use American coffee pots as their main brewing appliance!

The American coffee maker is easy to use.

1. Fill water tank

2. Put the filter paper on the hopper (some models have filters, filter paper can be placed or not…)

3. Add coffee powder

4. Turn on the switch

5. Let the coffee drip slowly to the desired amount (the glass of an American coffee pot will generally indicate the number of cups)

6. Enjoy this coffee.

After reading these six steps, you may wonder,"Is it really that easy to make a cup of coffee?"

The answer is yes. And even if the method is so simple, you can still play with the American coffee pot!

The following recommendations:

1. Ratio of coffee powder to water

Most American coffee pots come with a coffee spoon, which is designed to mix a spoonful of coffee powder with a spoonful of water. You can cook it according to this ratio first. If you want a strong coffee, add more powder. If you want a weak coffee, add less.

Try it out so you can find the proportions you like.

2. Coffee powder thickness

The thickness of coffee powder will affect the time that water stays in coffee powder, fine point extraction is longer, coarse point extraction time is shorter. In addition to the change in intensity, the taste of coffee will also be different. If you have a bean grinder handy, you can experiment with this.

3. How to put coffee powder

There are three ways to put coffee powder into the filter!

a. Beat the coffee powder flat

b. Let the coffee powder form hills

c. Dig a hole in the powder layer

The coffee made in all three ways is different, so you can try them all.

4. soaking time

In addition to the above two ways to control the shade, you can also control the soaking time by turning off the switch to stop the water supply. You can switch the water on and off at the beginning and then switch it off when a drop of coffee drips. Wait 20~30 seconds (you can adjust the waiting time yourself), and then turn on the switch to let it drip. This controls the soaking time.

5. Changes in coffee beans

When shopping for beans, don't hesitate to ask the bean dealer when the beans you bought were baked. Beans change daily at room temperature for two weeks from the day they are baked. If you look carefully at the changes in coffee, you will find that coffee is really an interesting drink!

6. drink coffee

When you get the coffee that the espresso pot has just brewed for you, try a little black coffee first. See what flavor it has in its original flavor, and if you have friends to drink with, you can discuss the taste of this cup of coffee together. If you can accept the taste of black coffee, you may as well drink black coffee directly. Wait until the coffee is a little cooler, and cool to room temperature, and see if it changes. If black coffee is too much for you, perhaps you should consider drinking it lighter, or generously adding sugar and creamer. After all, this is your cup of coffee.

7. Freshly brewed coffee should be drunk hot, do not heat, do not reheat... (Generally, American coffee pots have the function of keeping warm, so you can turn off the power after cooking)

8. Before making coffee, you can warm the glass pot with hot water, which can reduce the appearance of non-good acids.

I hope everyone gets a good cup of coffee.
