Coffee brewing method Philharmonic pressure method Coffee Philharmonic pressure positive and negative pressure is what coffee making video

"AeroPress" is a new coffee-making appliance launched by AEROBIE in 2006. Its inventor, Alan Adler, is a lecturer in mechanical engineering at Stanford University in the United States. It has more than 40 patents in the United States and other countries. "Philharmonic pressure" is easy to use, put coffee particles in the pressure bucket, soak in water for 10 seconds, gently and slowly press the pressure bar in 20 seconds, a total of only 30 seconds, a cup of delicate, rich, supple, delicious coffee will be made.

"Philharmonic pressure" outer packaging:

Unlike the drip filter coffee machine, although the soaking time is very short, it can fully soak the coffee particles and exert soothing and gentle pressure during extraction. It draws lessons from the pressure bar principle of the French press, but the coffee liquid is pressed out from the bottom of the apparatus through the filter paper, and the coffee particles are finer than those required by the French press, and the contact time between coffee and water is shorter but the pressure is higher, thus ensuring that the coffee drink is almost free of coffee powder. It uses the extraction method of an Italian espresso machine, but a layer of filter paper is added to the powder bowl, resulting in lower water temperature and lower pressure, resulting in a simpler structure and a much lower cost. but the extracted coffee tastes richer and softer without bitterness. Kenny Kenneth Davids, a famous American coffee reviewer and author of several coffee monographs, commented on "Philharmonic pressure": "if used correctly, Philharmonic pressure can make espresso and American coffee with a pure sense of export, but its price is only 20 or 1/30 of that of many household coffee machines." Eight reviewers from LOCALS ONLY COFFEE, a company in Washington State, where the coffee industry is well developed in the United States, gave the highest "five-star" rating after trial.

In use, we will find:

The soaking time required by "Philharmonic pressure" is only 10 seconds, but it can be fully soaked, thus ensuring that the coffee can be extracted quickly and have a stronger flavor.

"Philharmonic pressure" requires a lower water temperature of-80 degrees, so that it can extract a more supple taste.

The extraction time of "Philharmonic pressure" is only 20 seconds, which is much shorter than that of other utensils (such as the French kettle and the drip filter coffee machine are all at least more than three minutes). Therefore, the coffee extracted does not taste bitter.

The press speed of "Philharmonic pressure" is only about 10 centimeters in 20 seconds, and the movement is gentle, so it can extract the richer taste of coffee.

Due to the low water temperature and short extraction time, the acidity of coffee extracted with "Philharmonic pressure" is 1/5 of that of dripping coffee, which is more comfortable for many coffee drinkers.

Instructions for use:

1. Remove the pressure bar and powder bowl from the filter cartridge:

2. Put a piece of filter paper at the bottom of the powder bowl, and then buckle the powder bowl into the filter cartridge (350 pieces of filter paper attached with the appliance):

3. Place the filter cartridge on the coffee cup (make sure the cup is a little bigger and heavier to prevent tipping):

4. Put in two tablespoons of coffee powder particles:

5. Slowly pour in about 80 degrees hot water, the amount of water to the scale 2:

6. Stir with a stirring rod for about 10 seconds:

7. Soak the rubber ring of the pressure rod into the filter cartridge, press down half a centimeter (0.6 cm), and then maintain the pressure so that the pressure rod can reach the coffee particles at the bottom in 20 to 30 seconds. Note: pressure is the key to extracting satisfactory coffee:

8. A cup of double espresso is finished. Add hot water and it becomes American coffee; add hot milk and it is latte coffee. How's it going? Easy!

9. Clean up: remove the powder bowl, push the pressure bar, and eject the coffee "pressed powder":

10. Rinse the rubber ring on the head of the pressure bar with water and wipe off coffee powder and water stains.

Use tips:

Hot water of about 80 degrees is recommended. Calculate the time it takes to boil a pot of water. The temperature of boiling a pot of water in three strokes and four times is about 80 degrees; the temperature of hot water in a household thermos is about 80 degrees.

The thickness of coffee particles. Fine grinding, coffee particles for drip filter coffee machine and espresso machine can be used; if a blade grinder is used, the time required to grind two tablespoons of coffee powder is between 20 and 30 seconds; if it is found that the pressure bar is difficult to press down and the resistance is too high, it proves that the coffee grinding is too fine.

Pay attention to using a stronger coffee cup and hold it steady, so as to prevent the pressure from being too high when the push rod is too fast, which leads to coffee cup tipping or fragmentation.

Put the filter paper into the powder bowl:

Buckle the powder bowl into the filter cartridge:

Add coffee particles to the filter bucket (you can use your own funnel):

Inject 80 degrees hot water:

After stirring with a stirring rod for about 10 seconds, put into the pressure bar, press down about half a centimeter, maintain the pressure, and press to the bottom in 20 to 30 seconds:

The espresso produced:

Pick up the coffee and smell it, you will immediately realize that it may be a good cup of coffee; after drinking it, you will find that the taste is very unique, delicate, supple, sweet, mellow, balanced, without the slightest bitterness, especially without any coffee powder in the coffee liquid, the taste is very pure.

To tell you the truth, when I first got the Philharmonic pressure, I didn't love it; I didn't take it seriously when I saw a lot of praise on foreign websites, but I had to be impressed by it after the trial. Kevin Knox, author of Coffee Basics and 28 years of experience in boutique coffee, said: "I have all kinds of coffee making utensils, but since the Philharmonic pressure came in, all the other coffee utensils have started to accumulate dust." Colin Nwell, editor of the coffeecrew.com website, called Philharmonic pressure "the most important coffee invention of the 21 century."

You will like the coffee made with "Philharmonic pressure", and you will probably like "Philharmonic pressure".

"Philharmonic pressure", exquisite, rich, supple, delicious pure coffee.
