The difference between Smart Cup and Philharmonic pressure Coffee making

Some time ago, we put forward some suggestions on making coffee utensils and received feedback from many friends: how did you choose the utensils?

Whether it's making a cup of Espresso or filtered hand coffee, the key point is to master the six elements.

Powder-water ratio

Lapping degree corresponding apparatus

Optimize cooking methods (soaking, mixing, filtering, etc.)

Operation skills (stirring, water temperature, disturbance, etc.)

Good water quality

Appropriate filter media

The overall factors are these six points, but it is much more difficult to use these basic points flexibly in the actual coffee making process, and there are many uncertain factors that may be encountered, so it is very difficult for beginners not to panic.

Flexible use is not just talk. Often encountered is that once the grinding degree of ground coffee is not adjusted in place, many people do not know what to do, or even have to grind to the "scale" taught by the teacher. In fact, you only need to change the total contact time between coffee powder and water or change a kind of cooking apparatus to make the flavor you want to achieve.

Sprudge

It is precisely because the factors that affect the extraction of a good cup of coffee are varied, so the coffee utensils I admire are mainly "simple, stable, and small variables", and it is certainly better to be "handsome" at the same time. Either in the design drawing or can not do simple, stable, small variables).

The advantages of the Smart Cup

Just like testing the quality of a coffee cup, it can most intuitively and stably restore the taste of coffee: grind the coffee, put it directly into a smart cup with filter paper, inject the boiled water into the ratio of powder to water you want to achieve at one time, and wait for 4 minutes. It can be filtered out and drunk.

As a result, you can judge whether the roaster is good or bad, the coffee raw bean is good or bad, and you no longer have to worry about the "boutique coffee roaster" accusation: it tastes bad because you can't make it.

The deficiency of the Smart Cup

Advantages and disadvantages, the whole production process does not seem to require the producer's advanced coffee skills, can not be handsome, can not guarantee to be photographed and admired.

The advantages of Philharmonic pressure

The Philharmonic pressure, which combines soaking, filtration and pressure extraction, can make a good cup of coffee in about 1 minute. Although it is impossible for everyone to make a good cup of coffee like a smart cup, it maximizes the consideration of "being handsome" and "simple, stable and small variables" compared with the hand-filter method.

The deficiency of Philharmonic pressure

Compared with the smart cup (note, it is not compared to the hand filter), the Philharmonic pressure is slightly more professional, and its design determines that the maker needs to be more involved in making a good cup of coffee, while using the smart cup, people almost only need to pour water into it.

From the step-by-step analysis, we can see that making a good cup of coffee is the most important factor. The less people participate in the equipment, the higher the stability, and the less opportunities to be handsome. If recommended from this point of view, drip coffee maker / pot and French kettle will also be the best choice.

All right, please tell each other and ask the agent of Philharmonic pressure and Smart Cup to ask me to bring salt.
