What kind of utensils will be better to brew fine coffee?

Hand brewing coffee / mechanical brewing coffee

The main difference between "hand brewing coffee" and "mechanical brewing coffee" lies in the influence of human factors on this cup of coffee.

Although there are six factors that affect coffee brewing, such as "grinding, ratio of water to powder," in fact, when using instruments such as "hand brewing, siphon, love pressure, smart cup, French presser, mocha pot, and semi-automatic Italian coffee machine," the operation of the apparatus is the most important factor affecting the quality of coffee.

When you use a fully automatic coffee machine (ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands on Taobao), it is almost difficult to trace the influence of human factors. I call it mechanical coffee.

Single origin coffee / blended coffee

Many friends know that single-origin coffee (SOC) starts from WBC (barista competition), because too many winners use single-origin espresso (SOE). The understanding of blended coffee comes from the saying that espresso should be made from different coffees. But according to the definition of the American Fine Coffee Association, espresso can be extracted from any coffee: it can be blended, single-origin coffee, light-roasted or deep-roasted.

But why is SOE so rare in an era when everyone is advocating boutique coffee?

There is an interesting phenomenon: barista contestants can use SOE on the field, exaggerating its excellent flavor, while daily production is not easy to see SOE.

In my opinion, as long as you choose the right quality of raw beans, the coffee produced by SOE is simple, stable and strong in flavor. Do not see any of its weaknesses, the more unable to understand the misunderstanding of it.

Think about it, do the negative labels attached to SOE "unstable, single, low alcohol thickness, sour and expensive" really exist?
