Family siphon Pot Coffee making course the process of making Coffee in the Air Pot

Siphon pot is an excellent way to make coffee. Many people are fascinated by making bottles and cans similar to chemical experiments when making siphon, as well as the barista's attentive attitude, and some even fall in love with coffee because they fall in love with siphon pot.

The siphon pot originated in 1840 when RobertNapier, a Scottish engineer, invented the coffee pot, which was later patented by Mrs. MadameVassieux of France. It was already manufactured in Britain and Germany in the 1850s, and then coffee culture was introduced into Japan, which carried it forward and then into Taiwan, with the popularity of the "third wave" coffee culture all over the world.

Siphon phenomenon in physics, siphon is a curved pipe that uses the pressure of air to move the liquid in a container into a container B. Saifeng pot uses this principle to make coffee, so it is also called "siphon pot" or "Vacuumpot pot". "Saifeng" is the name of direct transliteration.

Aesthetics is also one of the addicts of siphon pots. I bought a siphon pot when I bought coffee utensils for the first time a few years ago. Although I have long been idle, I still "think of the running in the sunset that day." it was our lost youth that came from 'never thought of'. Now, when we see a good pot, we can't help but want to start, so this post is posted in the hope that more friends will join the siphon pot.

☆ this time we use a three-person siphon pot to make coffee for two, usually the ratio of powder to coffee liquid is 1: 12: 15, which means 10 grams of coffee powder out of 120~150ml coffee liquid (usually marked with 1cup, 2cup, etc., 1cup is about 120ml, that is, about 10g powder).

The thickness and fineness of ☆ coffee powder is about coarse sugar, and the thickness is uniform.

Need equipment: siphon pot, heating equipment (alcohol lamp, gas stove, halogen lamp, etc.), bean grinder, stirring stick, wet towel, gram

On the bean grinder: it is suggested that friends who like to drink freshly ground coffee should invest in a reliable bean grinder, whether electric or hand-operated, the quality of the product is much better than that of buying coffee powder, and the price for household use is not very high.

On heating equipment: common heating equipment are alcohol lamp, gas stove, halogen lamp, etc., each has its own characteristics, it is recommended to choose gas stove or halogen lamp, although alcohol lamp is much cheaper, but it is inconvenient to use, firepower is too small and not easy to adjust, and alcohol is easy to spill, not particularly safe. The gas stove is light and easy to use and the price is low. Halogen lamp has good ornamental property and high price. It is hoped that players will choose reasonably according to their own conditions.

About the production method: siphon is probably divided into two genres, one is to pour coffee powder into the upper pot before the water from the lower pot enters the upper pot (there is a saying: 'siphon is like going uphill, hand rush is like going downhill,' that is to say, the water temperature is constantly heating up to extract coffee, while hand brewing is extracting coffee under continuous cooling). The other is to wait for the water in the next pot to completely enter the upper pot and then pour in the coffee powder after the water is stable, and then extract it. Here we take the second way to operate. The first kind of interested players can try it on their own, without further explanation here.

Operation steps:

1. Install the siphon pot: no matter how the siphon pot looks, the shape is similar, which is divided into five parts: the upper pot, the lower pot, the base, the lid and the filter. (choice of filter: the common filter is generally a filter cloth filter, but the filter cloth is easy to absorb oil and is not easy to clean, and the next time it is used, it is easy to produce foul smell, while the filter paper and filter filter are much easier to clean. But the filter paper needs to be handled carefully, do not pierce the filter paper, and the coffee made by the filter screen usually produces a little impurities, so the choice of the filter depends on your choice. Here we choose the screen filter.)

two。 Weigh coffee beans: weigh coffee beans 20g (there is a saying that it can be 15g or less than 20g for one cup, but it is not in line with the extraction principle. If you want to get light coffee, you can reduce the amount. But it is incorrect to make two cups of coffee and the coffee beans can be reduced. Players can try it on their own, and the taste is really very different.)

3. Grinder: hand grinder grinds coffee beans

4. Add water: add water to the kettle (it can be hot water, and the amount of water is slightly higher than the amount of coffee liquid we want to extract, that is, more than 2cup, because the coffee powder will absorb water, and when the extraction is finished, the coffee liquid will be just on the 2cup scale)

5. Start heating: heat the water in the pot with a halogen lamp and turn the firepower to the maximum (make sure there is no water on the outer wall of the pot before heating, so as to prevent the pot from exploding during heating)

The water in the lower pot begins to enter the upper pot.

The water in the lower pot completely flows into the upper pot and produces violent bubbles.

6. Adjust the firepower: lower the firepower, stabilize the bubbles, and prepare to pour the coffee powder into the pot to extract.

7. Start extraction: pour the coffee powder into the pot, gently pat the coffee powder with a stirring stick to make it completely immersed in water, and then start stirring (stir clockwise or counterclockwise, but remember to stir in one direction, not back and forth). From the beginning to the end of the extraction for about 1 minute, some players like to count the time for extraction, which is a good habit, but aesthetics doesn't like timing very much. Usually I stir twice. About 20: 30 each time, so the extraction time is controlled in about one minute, and the coffee beans of good quality are resistant to boiling, while the coffee beans of poor quality are not resistant to cooking, and the time is not fixed. Players will adjust it later by virtue of experience, and I will not elaborate on it here.

8. Finish the extraction: it takes about one minute, remove the fire, and quickly wrap the next pot with a cold wet towel prepared in advance (this step is very important, the temperature of the next pot is still very high when the fire is removed, while the temperature of the coffee liquid in the upper pot is low. The coffee liquid flowing down from the upper pot will be damaged by the high temperature of the lower pot), the glass of a good siphon pot can withstand such a conflict of high temperature and low temperature. As long as you buy the authentic product, you don't have to worry that the next pot will burst.

Coffee grounds in the shape of a hill

Personally, I think that whether it is in the shape of a hill bag or not has no effect on the taste of the coffee. When we wrap the next pot with a wet rag, we stir the coffee in the pot with a stirring stick at the same time. When the coffee liquid in the upper pot flows into the lower pot, the coffee grounds in the upper pot naturally show the appearance of a hill bag.

The amount of coffee extracted is exactly two cups.

9. Warm cup: pour into a pre-heated coffee cup

10. Perfect: you can enjoy a cup of coffee made from a mellow siphon pot
