Siphon pot coffee basic utensils

Siphon pot, also known as Saifeng kettle, is a relatively stable way of coffee extraction, and the process is also very interesting. using the siphon principle, coffee completes the whole extraction process up and down in the pot. We can show off our technology by controlling water temperature, stirring, grinding, powder amount, water volume, extraction time, mixing techniques, etc., without testing the patience of ourselves and our friends like hand pots. This article will first introduce the utensils that need to be prepared to use a siphon pot to extract coffee.

(as shown in the figure)

a. Siphon pot

b. Siphon pot filter-can be matching filter paper or filter cloth, filter cloth can be used repeatedly 30 to 50 times, but each use must be cleaned, preferably boiled in boiling water, to prevent coffee flavor will remain on the filter cloth.

c. Upper pot bracket

d. Siphon pot-the upper and lower pots of the siphon pot are fragile, the upper pot is easy to break when cleaning, and the lower pot is more likely to burn when extracting coffee, so be sure to match the upper pot and the lower pot separately when you choose and buy it, so you can save a lot of money in the future.

e. Siphon pot rack-ABCDE these five parts assemble a complete set of siphon pots, the common siphon pots on the market are divided into 2, 3, 5, etc., please note that 3 people at least cook 2 cups, 5 people at least 3 cups, so household is generally recommended to buy 2 or 3 people. Of course, low-skilled friends can ignore this restriction.

f. Gas stove-siphon pot is originally equipped with alcohol stove, for friends who pay a little attention to quality, I will recommend gas stove, not only because the heating is fast, but more importantly, the gas stove is adjustable, which is important for really making a cup of siphon coffee.

g. Coffee cup-you can choose bone porcelain cup or porcelain cup with thicker wall, which is more conducive to heat preservation.

h. Dry rag

i. Wet rag-it's wet and it won't drip.

j. Stir bamboo slices-Please remember to confirm whether there are free bamboo slices in the siphon pot. If not, remember to buy them. Although plastic can also be used for mixing, I always think that plastic will bring some bad taste to coffee under the action of high temperature.

If the above equipment is complete, you can prepare to make your own siphon coffee! When buying a siphon pot, I still recommend Japan's HARIO, which will have a higher performance-to-price ratio.
