The latest introduction of hand-made coffee filter cup the different types, functions and uses of coffee filter cup

We all know that the Vietnamese trickle filter cup was brought to Vietnam by the French at the beginning of last century, but I am afraid we don't know much about the history of who invented it. In fact, it is a replica of the earliest Melitte copper filter cup. If you compare the Vietnamese filter cup with the world's first copper filter cup invented by Mrs. Melita, you will find that they are almost the same in shape and structure except for their different materials. And the early Melitte porous filter cup is almost exactly the same as the current Vietnamese dripping pot. So, if you want to try what the early Melitte filter cup tastes like, you have to have a Vietnam drop cup. If you can tell the relationship and story of Melitte and Vietnam drip filter cup to the guests, it will certainly make the guests think highly of you.

The American follicle pot is a coffee pot invented in the United States by Dr. Peter J.Schlumbohm, who was born in Germany in 1941. Its design and particularity are recognized, not only selected as the "Illinois Institute of Technology" top 100 modern products, but also displayed by New York MoMa as a permanent collection of "Smithsonian and the Philadelphia Museum of Art".

The uniqueness of the American bubble pot is that the coffee pot and the filter cup are integrated, not separate. On the slender waist, the appearance wrapped in wood and leather rope is quite advanced and elegant. But the secret to extracting pure but flavored coffee lies elsewhere. The upper part of the filter cup of the American bubble pot has an air channel (air channel) in the shape of a funnel, which can supply air smoothly when extracting coffee, and the filter paper can be easily removed after use. There is also the filter paper used in the American bubble pot, which is about twice as heavy as the ordinary filter paper, but its advantage is that it can leak strong but non-bitter coffee.

The coffee extracted by the American filter pot can not only remove the excess oil and bitter ingredients, but also extract only the purest coffee. After frozen preservation, it still has its flavor even if it is heated and drunk again. When heating the bubble pot directly on the gas furnace, even if the heat-resistant glass is used, it is still dangerous, so it is better to put it on the iron frame or tripod and then heat it.

The filter paper of the American bubble pot is not funnel-shaped, but flat four corners or round filter paper. This is a common method in the laboratory. The flat filter paper is folded twice and folded into a funnel shape. Maybe it's because the inventor used to be a doctor of chemistry. The filter paper of Kono and Hario is also funnel-shaped with a sharp end. If the filter paper wall is soaked in water, it can withstand heavier coffee and use pressure to attach both sides. However, the funnel and flask part of the American bubble pot is not accepted, because of the filter paper, if you use the sewn filter paper, the two sides of the filter paper will break because of the weight of the coffee. It's as simple as putting filter paper on a mug and making coffee. But the basket-shaped filter paper can be folded twice like circular filter paper and folded into a funnel instead of being used.

Different shapes of grooves form different concave and convex exhaust channels, which will have different subtle effects on the taste of coffee, but this requires a deep understanding of the nature of coffee and hand-making utensils. Only experts who have accumulated considerable experience and attainments can experience it.

In addition to the above three most commonly used materials, there are heat-resistant glass, aluminum alloy, tin and other materials, and even in some hot countries in Southeast Asia, there are coffee filter cups woven with plants such as bamboo and flax, which is really pure natural and green.

In fact, as long as the coffee filter cup can meet the three basic conditions of filtration, ventilation and heat preservation, it can make good coffee. If we think about it, there are a lot of materials that can be replaced.
