Self-cultivation of boutique coffee-teach you how to buy a good hand brewer

Only about hand-brewed coffee

To pay so much attention to how the water is poured out.

About only penguins eat and drink.

To care so much about what you want to know before you buy it.

There are many ways to brew coffee, such as French pressure, mocha pot, siphon pot, love pressure, hand brewing. In so many ways of brewing, only hand flushing needs a good water injection tool-hand flushing pot.

The function of hand flushing pot

Before we start to choose, let's take a look at the function of the hand pot in brewing.

Ability to control the flow of water:

When brewing, the water flow should be large and small, in order to deal with different coffee beans, and control the brewing time-the water is fine, the brewing time is long; the water is thick, the time is short.

Provide hot water at a specific temperature:

The water temperature of hand-brewed coffee is usually 90-93 degrees.

How to choose an easy-to-use hand pot

Therefore, judging the quality of a pot with one hand can be viewed intuitively from the following angles:

a. Spout

A thin-pointed spout is very important. The sharper the spout is, the more it can give a trickle of water.

b. Outlet pipe

I do not like the outlet pipe that is too thin, if it is too thin, there is no way to give a larger flow, but not too thick, otherwise the control of the fine flow will become a little tricky.

c. Capacity

Most hand pots need to add more than 80% of the water, which will be easier to inject, so basically do not use a hand pot with a capacity of more than one liter, because it will be too tired when it is too heavy, and the watering of the water will be difficult to control. However, if the capacity of the kettle is too small, the water temperature will fall too fast, and after brewing, the water temperature will be too low.

Therefore, it is recommended to use 0.7-1.0L hand punching pot.

d. Kettle body

The shape of the kettle body had better be thin at the top and fat at the bottom, so that when we are circling, the inertia of the water in the kettle will not have a great impact on the stability of water injection.

e. Temperature

The temperature must be controllable, so a combination of heat source and thermometer is needed.

You can choose induction cooker or open fire to heat (personally, it is not recommended to use fire, because most household gas stoves have a large core, and most hand pots on the market cannot be safely mounted on gas stoves, which increases some danger. in addition, heating with fire will heat the handle at the same time, making it easier to burn.

For thermometers, please use electronic thermometers (pointer thermometers are not allowed!). At present, some appliance manufacturers have developed a heating electric kettle with its own temperature measurement function, which has solved a lot of problems at once!

Next, start chopping hands.

To sum up the above, here are some of the coffee handmade pots I recommend:
