The charm of Philharmonic presses a cup of boutique coffee in 30 seconds.

The charm of the Philharmonic pressure. The reason is that it is easy to make, tastes clean, and it can be adjusted according to our taste. It is first soaked by water injection. Then rely on a certain amount of pressure to extract the water mixed with coffee through the filter. Because the filter paper has a certain density, the particles that do not dissolve with water are filtered, leaving behind coffee with a clean taste. At the end of the article, we will tell you how to use Philharmonic pressure to adjust some variables to get different taste experiences.

The operation method and process of Philharmonic pressure:

1. Prepare utensils, love press, bean grinder, coffee cup, coffee pot.

two。 Coffee Grinding. The important thing is that the coffee is ground to medium particle size for use of quality. By grinding the coffee, this allows for a thicker, more subtle cup or even more extraction.

3. Install Philharmonic pressure. The No. 4 round bottom that contacts the black rubber part in the plunger brewing tube. When operating, the numbers should be reversed.

4. Flush and preheat the filter. Use hot water in the Philharmonic pressure filter cap to pass through the filter to wash away the residual smell of the paper.

5. Put freshly ground coffee powder, recommend 17 grams or a round Philharmonic pressure spoon freshly ground coffee cup.

6. Water injection for the first time. Wait 45 seconds for steaming the water temperature is about 83 ℃, start the timer set to one minute, and pour in 50 ml or 1 / 4 cup of enough water.

7. Stir evenly for three times to make sure there are no dry spots.

8. Complete the stirring, the second water injection, so that the total level is slightly higher than 2 circles. This should be a 50ml or 1 / 4 cup 100ml or about 1 / 2 cup of your total water capacity.

9. Install and tighten the washed filter.

10. When the alarm clock prompts for 60 seconds, gently rotate it at a 45 °angle for 10 seconds and gently stir the coffee.

11. Use stable, mild pressure, allowing 15 to 25 seconds to prevent air leakage.

twelve。 For dilution and enjoyment, the recommended ratio of water to coffee is 1:1.

Tips and precautions when using Aeropress:

1. Do not use too fine grinding: because the Philharmonic pressure is not an espresso machine, nor is it a mocha pot. Aeropress depends on the pressure of your body to filter coffee, which is not enough to cause crema, so don't have the myth that "there must be crema".

two。 Crema can be increased by using metal filter

The coffee spoon supplied with 3.Aeropress is about 1.5 times the size of the take-out standard Huai coffee spoon. (about 14g per square spoon)

4. If you like stronger coffee, you can use two flat spoons of coffee beans supplied with Aeropress, with hot water up to scale 4. If you like it lighter, use one spoonful and fill it with water to scale 4.

5. It doesn't matter if the hot water temperature can be a little higher. Anyway, although the hot water in the office water heater is marked 100 degrees, the real temperature is rarely to 90 degrees. If you use a kettle to boil water, let it be brewed for a minute or two to avoid coffee powder burning and bitterness.

6. In the process of adding water, you can be divided into two parts of water injection. The first injection of water to about scale 2, the coffee will heat the expansion of the gas first stirred to release, when the water level dropped, the second injection of water to your desired height.

7. The cup that holds the coffee is preferably a thick cup or a stainless steel cup, at least in case it slips and falls, it is less likely to be stabbed by thin glass. It is also suggested that one hand press down and the other firmly holds the cup at the bottom, otherwise it is really possible to "have a cup". If you feel too hard during the press-down process, please don't force yourself to avoid injury. Change to a thicker scale and try again, or you can wet the sealed rubber ring or squeeze out the air first and then press it down (for inversion)

8. After brewing, open the black filter paper cover directly, push out the coffee powder, and then clean the piston with a little soap at the cleaning opening, which can save you a lot of cleaning time.

9. After cleaning, the tools can be assembled back without waiting for them to dry. I am used to putting all the kits back together and putting the Aeropress in a cool place to dry to avoid missing parts and deforming parts. The key point is that the material of Philharmonic pressure is good, it has not been used for a long time, and it will not stink like a filter kettle and metal screen. Never separate the piston from the sleeve, because it will deform for a long time; keeping the piston and sleeve combined at any time will help to prolong the service life of the equipment. Do not expose the rubber piston to the sun, as it is easy to drive the rubber to deteriorate.

According to the principle of Philharmonic pressure, we can change the flavor of coffee a little. And there are many ways to play:

1. Change the ratio of water to powder.

This is very intuitive and can change its concentration.

two。 The thickness of grinding

The finer the coffee powder, the higher the proportion of coffee powder will be extracted. You tend to get a more sour taste.

But if it is too thin, it may penetrate the filter paper, making the taste not very clean.

3. One piece of filter paper becomes multiple sheets.

It can filter out more particles.

4. Time of push

This is the process of generating pressure, and if the time is longer, there will be more extraction per unit time.

5. Soak time

The longer the time, the more substances are dissolved. But it is not the more the better, it may bring more miscellaneous smell. Of course, if the coffee is not fresh, sometimes it is necessary to soak for a long time.
