Making coffee is a rare and ordinary thing.

As an unlucky kid who is addicted to coffee, I have talked about the history of coffee, the cultural connotation of coffee, the purchase of coffee beans, including the purchase of coffee pots. But recently, the addiction to curry has come again. I want to change the card ash machine for my own home, and then I have expanded all kinds of tips of the coffee pot for myself. If you want to do a good job, you must sharpen its tools first. If you only have curry ash beans, you can't eat them raw, so share a little knowledge about the curry ash pot card ash machine, and then if you are willing to chop your hands together, we will buy a knife in a group and chop it together.

NO.1: siphon pot

It takes time to make coffee in a siphon pot, but it can hone your mood, taste coffee and show your style. Because it includes grinding, stewing, and mastering the heat, the whole process must be devoted to it. One more point is heavy, and one less point is light. Only with good technical mastery can the most perfect part of coffee be extracted. Although it is a little troublesome, isn't it one of the joys of coffee?

The siphon pot was inspired by the chemical laboratory, and its initial shape may have been more inclined to chemical instruments-alcohol lamps and glass cases-than it is now, so it was not popular with Europeans at first.

By the middle of the 20th century, siphon pots were spread to Denmark and Japan, and aestheticist Danes liked its design-this is what less is more is today! On the other hand, the Japanese like its order, follow the rules, and can control the process of making coffee on their own. After being praised and praised by these two countries, the siphon pot became popular for the first time, and now the siphon pot has long been popular all over the world. Even Europeans who hated it at first came to appreciate the stirring of coffee in the siphon pot.

It is a very mysterious thing, intuitively composed of the upper and lower parts, detailed study, every time it is heated, every time the steam produced, every time the hot expansion and cold contraction all show that the siphon pot has a mysterious scientific basis, science is the most powerful backing, and the siphon pot is also full of human feelings, as long as you operate it carefully, those worrying security risks, or the deviation of extraction taste. Can be avoided.

Here, it is suggested that when buying a siphon pot, try to buy a cup larger than you need. at present, the siphon pots on the market are mainly made in China, made in Taiwan and made in Japan. the quality depends on the quality of the glass. I recommend two brands (I will be angry if you say soft!):

A, hario of Japan

This is the best siphon pot at present, a Japanese brand, the heat resistance of glass is definitely one level higher than ordinary glass, the workmanship is also very exquisite, the price is about 600.

B. Taiwan's tiamo

Keep up with the design steps of hario, the quality of glass is slightly reduced, there is no big problem in use, and the price is also reduced, probably more than 300.

At present, there are many other brands on Taobao, the price is about 100Lv 200, the time for discerning has come, the glass of poor quality is easy to blacken after using for a long time, the handle fades, even because the glass is cooled too fast and broken, so it is best to buy a good siphon pot, of course, if the silver is limited and an entry-level player, then don't think about it, use a cheap practitioner first.

Finally, we must choose the right coffee beans to make coffee in a siphon pot, first of all, to ensure the freshness of the beans, and secondly, because the siphon pot can maintain the original taste of coffee, so it is suitable to brew individual coffee, such as Columbia beans, Blue Mountain, Brazil, Manning and so on. The idea of making fancy coffee in a siphon pot is absolutely amusing.

NO, 2: capsule coffee machine

A friend of mine in moments has been yelling about the coffee machine for recommendation for half a year! I can't believe I haven't done it yet. this choice of obsessive-compulsive disorder is really a deadly rhythm.

Capsule coffee machine is now a relatively new style of coffee machine, the operation process is extremely simple, do not need to grind powder, do not need to observe the heat time, as long as the purchase has been packaged coffee powder capsule, put it into the capsule coffee machine, a cup of full-bodied coffee simply appeared in the process of a few buttons.

It can not meet the needs of people who are happy with DIY, but it is fast, simple and fashionable enough. For some fast-paced business people, capsule coffee maker is undoubtedly a necessary choice in life. Under such hands-free conditions, the choice of coffee capsule and coffee maker is particularly important.

The first is the coffee capsule.

Coffee capsule was born in 1976, its creator is Eric Favre, he visited numerous cafes, tasted thousands of cups of coffee, carefully studied the brewing process of coffee, and finally developed the coffee capsule product that we see today.

Therefore, it has also become the CEO of the coffee capsule department of Nestl é. Of course, coffee lovers like this will not stay in Nestl é all their lives, and eventually he founded his own company, MONODOR, to make the best use of capsule coffee.

And then there's the coffee machine.

The choice of coffee machine mainly depends on quality and after-sale, and there is a more important point: for commercial considerations, many capsule machine brands can only use their own brands of coffee capsules, which is also a big limitation for people who choose to buy capsule coffee machines, so choose compatible coffee machines.

For me, I will not choose capsule coffee, especially the fact that I can only use capsules of the same brand, which gives me a sense of being forced to get a card to wash, cut, blow and cut my hair.

Whatever, but from the perspective of beauty and fashion convenience, the capsule machine is irreplaceable. It depends on your personal preference.

Several brands are recommended:

1. LAVAZZA's EP-Matinee bullet machine, Lavazza Blue LB Guzzini, EP-950 bullet machine. Prices range from 1000 to 10000. LAVAZZA is a century-old store that survived gunfire. Founder Luigi Lavazza, who started with a small grocery store, is a legend in the coffee country.

2. Nestle's NESPRESSO (Nespezo), take the emotional route, close to life, the fighter in the coffee.

3. Italian Illy's Francis Francis X7 capsule machine, whose price is above 5000, is the top and best-known coffee leading brand in Italy.

4. CAFFITALY SYSTEM (also called CAFFITA system) of GAGGIA (Jiajiya).

NO, 3: French kettle

If you want to master the most practical coffee entry equipment, the French pressure pot must be in the top three, and its ease of control of time and convenience of observation are incomparable to other coffee appliances.

Compared with the siphon pot, the development history of the French pressure pot is more dramatic, because it has been used as a tool for making tea for a long time. Around 1850, a simple brewing apparatus composed of a heat-resistant glass bottle and a metal filter with a pressure bar appeared in France. This kind of apparatus was the earliest model of the pressure pot, which was fully soaked in hot water and coffee powder. The water powder is separated by a filter screen, and the coffee essence produced by the collision between coffee powder and water is what you expect.

The French kettle is especially suitable for lazy people in the office. You don't need to learn how to understand it. Of course, it takes skill to brew coffee well. What you need to pay attention to is: a, coffee powder should be a little thicker, too fine and easy to extract too much.

B, coffee powder must be fresh, which is probably known to all coffee drinkers, it is best to buy coffee beans and grind their own powder; c, because of the size of the filter mesh, may produce very fine coffee grounds, all drinking time need to rest for about three minutes.

The price of such a simple pressure kettle is also surprising. There are even more than ten yuan and more than twenty yuan on Taobao. Here is how to choose and buy the kettle. The French kettle is mainly composed of a glass kettle body and a filter mesh, so we mainly look at whether the glass is thick and resistant to high temperature, and whether the filter screen is fine and strong. Two brands are also recommended here.

1. Swiss bodum, the historical brand of French kettle, has many styles and different prices.

2. Japan's hario, known as the king of glass, is priced at about 200 yuan.

NO, 4: Ailo pressure

Young Philharmonic pressure, whether in terms of shape design or usage, is absolutely a magical creation, similar to a syringe, but has a strong understanding of coffee, pour coffee and water, and press the push tube. you can use it to create the American coffee or latte you want.

For lazy people in the office, an easy-to-carry Philharmonic pressure is the best, without the elaborate processes of mocha and siphon pots, but with no less flavor. It can brew a very strong coffee base, but without losing its roundness, so many professional coffee lovers will use the Philharmonic pressure to test the coffee concentration.

It is worth mentioning that the inventor of AeroPress pressure, Alan Adler, a mechanical engineering lecturer at Stanford University, is a powerful figure who has more than 40 patents in the United States and other countries. Even Kenny Davis, a famous American coffee reviewer and author of several coffee monographs, has commented on Philharmonic pressure in this way: "if used correctly, Philharmonic pressure can make espresso and American coffee with pure export feeling." Its price is only 20% or even 1/30 of that of many household coffee machines. "

So we can see that it makes sense to be young and promising. Lazy people, it's time to use Philharmonic pressure to make coffee!

NO, 5: hand filter cup

Every time I see the shape of the hand filter cup, I think of the hourglass with time lapse. When you are with your friends and are in a relaxed mood, it is especially suitable for you to make a cup of coffee by hand, so you hold the water in the pot, and the water flows down slowly from the pot. Blend with coffee powder, not for a long time, a cup of exquisite coffee is produced.

When it comes to the emergence of the hand filter cup, it should be attributed to Ms. Melita in Germany. At the beginning of the 20th century, she had a whim at home, using her son's blotting paper as filter paper, putting coffee powder in the filter paper, and injecting water into the coffee powder with a kettle. Extract a cup of coffee that tastes different from the past, this simple discovery got out of hand, and then she set up a company specializing in the production of hand-brewed coffee utensils.

When it comes to the taste of hand-brewed coffee, it can satisfy those professionals who have a high demand for coffee. Although it is simple and easy to operate, it can perfectly reflect the flavor of coffee.

A. Spiral grooves can discharge hot gas more effectively.

B. the deeper cone heaps up the coffee powder and lengthens the waterway, so that the coffee can be steamed evenly

C, the larger leak makes the effluent unimpeded, and the speed of dripping is all controlled by the speed of your water injection.

Of course, the above points are also the standard for buying hand filter cups. Apart from those, you should also pay attention to the outlet of the pot, preferably a small-mouth pot, so as to facilitate the flow of water and trend. The recommended brands are Japanese brands KALITA, HARIO, Taguchi, Moon Rabbit, and you can also choose relatively cheap domestic brands such as TIAMO, Zhengzheng, etc.

NO, 6: American drip kettle

As the name implies, the American drip pot is a coffee brewing instrument commonly used in the United States. specifically, it is not a pot, it is only a way of making coffee, and the operation process is very simple. after being connected to the power, the high heat element in the n pot quickly heats a small part of the water from the water storage tank to boiling, and the steam pressure pushes the water out of the water delivery pipe in turn, and drips evenly into the filter containing coffee powder through the distributor. And then into the coffee bottle, it becomes drinking coffee.

However, people who are very particular about coffee may not like American drip pots, and think that the taste of coffee made in this way is very light and lacks the mellowness of coffee. Of course, this is right. Americans like this simple mode of operation, saving time and efficiency. When it comes to China, the role and gimmick of this imported product will directly become a necessity for lazy people, as long as it is used properly. Lazy people can also create coffee with pure taste.

Here are some tips for lazy people:

A. Work hard on coffee powder

If you don't care about coffee powder, increase the amount of coffee powder with the same amount of water, and you can also use a more detailed coffee powder so that you can get purer coffee during extraction.

B, prolong the soaking time of coffee powder in hot water to make the extraction sufficient.

C, the machine can be turned on and off repeatedly, after the hot water flows out, turn off the machine for a few seconds, and then turn it on again. After the hot water continues to flow out, turn it off again and again for several seconds, so repeatedly (the time is self-controlled), so that the purity of the extracted coffee will be higher.

D, the United States is a family to share coffee, so there are more powder and more cups, which can be used for reference, so that there is no need to waste coffee when the purity of coffee is guaranteed.

-

So much for the time being, let's not talk about the steam ash machine for the time being. The above points are enough for lazy people. on the one hand, the price of automatic steam ash machine is relatively high, and on the other hand, it is less fun to brew. Friends who have rice and time can go and buy as much as they like. Lazy people and those who need to take a look at our current issue is enough.
