First, the upper cup and filter paper

Today, the development of the upper cup by hand has been very diversified, from the ordinary three-hole and two-hole to the V60 single-hole series produced by HARIO, and then to the new blue filter cup of kalita, the material is ever-changing from resin to ceramic to glass, and of course the function is the same, all used for loading powder and filter paper.

Among them, the blue filter cup is a new product, and only Jialu Dream can be seen in China, and the price is not cheap.

While the prices of three holes and V60 vary according to their respective materials, resins generally range from 30 yuan to 40 yuan, ceramics range from 80 yuan to 100 yuan, and glass V60 is also a new product, with prices ranging from 100 yuan to 120 yuan.

Of course, there are some very alternative products, such as kalita copper material and enamel material, domestic relatively rare not one by one examples.

All kinds of upper cups need to be equipped with corresponding filter paper.

Blue filter paper is quite special, you can take a look at figure 3

Three-hole filter paper

It is worth noting that the last cup is divided into sizes: 101, 102, 103, the corresponding filter paper is also divided into the above model. The 101 model is generally recommended for household use.

The price of filter paper generally ranges from 30 yuan to 35 yuan per 100 sheets.

In addition to the traditional filter paper filtration, there is also flannel filtration. Compared with the two: the filter cup is easier to clean, but for sensitive people, filter paper taste and environmental protection is a problem; flannel taste is relatively mellow, the disadvantage is difficult to clean, high cost.

Flannel sloshing

HARIO flannel (three-piece package), Taobao 80 dollars, you can buy more than 200 pieces of filter paper of the same brand.

There are also some strange cups, such as the Swiss gold KF-2Plus 4, which was originally used in the American machine, and students who think the filter paper is tasteful or not environmentally friendly can also choose. It is easier to clean than flannel and basically does not need to be replaced as long as it is not squeezed hard. The disadvantage is that due to the metal filter, it is inevitable that a little bit of coffee powder will be filtered into it.

The first one on the right is the three-hole installation of Swiss gold KF-2 in kalita ceramics. KF-2 can also be used alone with lovely pots.

2. Thin-nosed kettle

Hand punching requires a steady and fine flow, so the thin-mouth pot is a must. The thin-mouth pot is generally made of stainless steel, and a small number of products are made of copper or enamel (mainly kalita and tiamo). Since hand punching is a very temperature-sensitive way of making, some small-nosed pots also have their own thermometers.

The famous KALITA copper pot is expensive.

Novices generally recommend small spout pots with relatively large capacity (for example: 900CC), which are relatively easy to control.

Third, sharing pot

This is an optional part, and a glass of the right caliber is also easy to use at home. Of course, in order to accurately control the concentration and content of the extraction, a scaled sharing pot is also needed.

Yami's sharing pot is cheap and practical.

Hario sharing pot, the price is slightly higher, the quality is very good!

Some manufacturers also offer sets of hand-made cups and sharing pots:

The personal hario animation set is very popular with MM.
