Make a siphon pot of coffee at home

Recently, I have been asked by friends, it seems that I have been using siphon all the time recently. Indeed, recently I have been fascinated by the smell of siphon, and more and more friends have started asking me how to use siphon to make coffee.

A tool used to make siphon coffee

Siphon pot brewed coffee taste more mellow, because a lot of coffee fat are dissolved in the coffee liquid, so siphon pot made coffee more mellow, taste more fragrant.

Most friends have the so-called three-person siphon pot, let alone whether this is a three-person powder, but when you make it, you need to try to add water to your pot load, so as to play your pot potential, too much, too little may affect the product. (In fact, this three-person serving, the final coffee is about a little more than 300 ml, which is exactly the amount of one and a half people for me.) I usually add boiled water directly to the pot to reduce the reheating time, but you can also add cold water directly.

Install the filter, hook the lower hook of the filter, do not underestimate this bead chain, it is useful oh ~

Put on the upper pot, start heating the lower pot, don't be afraid, just put it like this, the upper pot won't fall off.

At this time, you know the use of the small bead chain mentioned above, this is a "signal light", when you see bubbles floating along the bead chain, it is a signal that you can cover the pot, note, I said can cover, not have to cover, you can delay for a while, so that the temperature of the pot will be higher, of course, when you should cover your pot, this depends on your experience value.

As it heats up, all the water in the lower pot pours into the upper pot.

The temperature of the upper pot is about 84-92 degrees (depending on when you cover the upper pot), try to keep the water in the upper pot at 85 degrees, and then add coffee powder.

Special tips: coffee powder for siphon pot grinding thickness and hand flush similar, that is, coarse granulated sugar particle size, or slightly fine, reference grinding fineness, small eagle type of grinder, reference value in 3.5)

After adding the coffee powder, you need to stir it. After the coffee powder is fully soaked, it will form a thick layer of grease, like a lid, covering the coffee in the upper pot, thus causing the water temperature to rise. As you stir, you can clearly see that the original thick fat layer becomes thinner and thinner, and these fats dissolve in the coffee, making the coffee more mellow. As for how long the coffee should be brewed in the upper pot, this is another experience value, depending on your judgment of the beans, the judgment of the water temperature, and then decisively stop the brewing process, generally between 1 minute and 2 minutes.

When you want to stop brewing, remove the heat source, and then you will use the cold damp cloth prepared in advance, cover the joint of the upper and lower pots with a damp cloth, let the temperature of the lower pot drop, and quickly suck the coffee in the upper pot back into the lower pot through siphon action.

All the coffee flows into the lower pot.

Next, you can quietly enjoy the sweetness of the siphon.

In fact, the above description just said how to use the siphon pot again, but how to make a good siphon pot coffee, or you need to slowly explore, find a suitable way to make your own taste, perhaps this is the charm of coffee, different people, different practices, the same coffee can completely present a different taste.
