Coffee brewing utensils: introduction of beginners' choice of hand pot and detailed analysis of the reasons

About only hand brewed coffee,

That's why it's so particular about how water is poured.

About only penguins eat and drink,

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

There are many ways to brew coffee, French press, mocha pot, siphon pot, Philharmonic press, hand flush... Of all the ways to brew, only hand flushing requires a good water injection tool-hand flushing pot.

The function of the hand-made kettle

Before you start picking, let's take a look at what the hand-washing pot has in brewing ~

Ability to control water flow:

Brewing water flow can be large or small, in order to deal with different coffee beans, and control brewing time-small water flow, brewing time is long; thick water flow, 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 a good hand pot

Therefore, to judge the quality of a hand pot, you can intuitively look at it from the following angles:

A. the spout

A pointed spout is important. The sharper the spout, the more it gives a trickle of water.

B. water outlet pipe

I don't like the outlet pipe too thin, if it is too thin, there is no way to give a larger flow; but it should not be too thick, otherwise the control of fine flow will become a bit tricky.

C. capacity

Most of the hand-washed pots need to add water to more than 80%, which will be better for water injection, so basically do not use hand-washed pots with a capacity of more than one liter, because it will be too tired when it is too heavy, and the pouring of water will be difficult to control. However, if the capacity of the kettle is too small, the water temperature will drop too fast. After brewing, the water temperature will be too low ~

Therefore, it is recommended to use a 0.7~1.0L hand rinse pot.

D. kettle body

The shape of the pot body is best to be thin and fat, so that when we circle, it will not have too much impact on the stability of the water injection because of the inertia of the water in the pot.

E. temperature

The temperature must be controllable, so a combination of heat source + thermometer is required to achieve this.

You can choose an induction cooker or open fire to heat (individuals do not recommend the use of fire, because most of the household gas stove core are very large, most of the hand-washed pots on the market have no way to be stable on the gas stove, which increases some danger, plus heating with fire will make the handle hot at the same time, when it is easier to burn).

And thermometer, please use electronic thermometer (pointer thermometer is not allowed!). At present, there are also heating electric kettles with temperature measurement function developed by appliance manufacturers, which solve many problems at once!

Next, let's chop off our hands

To sum up the above points, here are some coffee hand brewers I recommend:

Bonavita constant temperature hand rinse kettle

Advantages:

The tip of the spout gives a steady stream of water

The thickness of the outlet pipe is just right. If you want a large water flow, it is ok.

Small upper and wide lower kettle body, good stability of water injection around the circle

The kettle with its own thermometer can accurately control the desired water temperature, and it is also easy to make tea!

And a timer.

Disadvantages:

price is slightly higher

Kalita wave 1.0L hand rinse kettle

Advantages:

Easy to use, big flow small flow, easy to use

Wood handle, even if open fire heating, the handle will not be hot

moderate price

Disadvantages:

Additional heat sources are required for heating

An electronic thermometer is needed to know the water temperature

Guiguigui

Additional heat sources are required for heating

An electronic thermometer is needed to know the water temperature

Pots buying notes

In this way, my friends know what to buy and put it at home ~

â'¢ The role of the hand-made pot:

control the flow of water

Hot water at a specific temperature

▪ Selection criteria for hand-made pots:

Spout-fine tip

Outlet pipe-too fine to provide large flow; too thick to increase control difficulty

Capacity-0.7-1L

Kettle body-thin on the top and fat on the bottom

Temperature-heat source (fire or electricity)+ thermometer (electron)
