Last Updated: 2026/04/06, Today we will talk about the effect of the number of times of stirring on the taste of coffee in the siphon pot.

When making coffee in a siphon pot, you need to stir three times, three or four times clockwise each time. Of course, we have a question here: why do we have to stir three or four times each time? what would happen if we stirred 10 times or kept stirring? In the evaluation of this article, the answers will be revealed for friends one by one.

According to Uncle Dou, don't guess the taste of coffee subjectively (although we can probably guess how the taste of coffee will change). Use the Cupping spoon in your hand to illustrate the problem.

After cleaning the siphon pot, still use the method mentioned above to make the siphon pot coffee. The time for brewing coffee is the same as the standard method for the first time is one minute, and the three stirring times are: adding coffee powder, 30 seconds and flameout.

The difference this time is that when stirring coffee three times, not only stir 3-4 times, but change to 10 laps and keep stirring.

Pour the finished coffee into the coffee cup so that we get the fourth cup of coffee. Cupping these four cups of coffee respectively. What effect does the method of making have on the taste of coffee?

Finally, we can come to the conclusion that stirring coffee tastes bitterer, darker, lighter and messy than standard coffee.
