[tasting coffee] the seven major genres of hand-brewed coffee become masters after watching it?

Hand-brewed coffee is the "third wave" that is, the most popular coffee brewing method in today's boutique coffee era, whether it is its production method or coffee flavor is worth in-depth study and exploration of knowledge.

Bentz Melitta, a housewife in Germany, is credited for this worldwide popularity of follicular coffee brewing. She invented the coffee follicle method more than 100 years ago, rewriting the history of coffee drinking in Germany and the world. Before this invention, people used cloth bags to filter coffee grounds. However, the cloth filter bag is troublesome to clean, and the other is unsanitary after repeated use. The coffee grounds remaining in the gap of the bag are easy to destroy the original taste of coffee. On June 20, 1908, Melita registered her invention at the Royal Patent Office: a copper coffee filter cup with an arched bottom perforated with a water outlet, which was the world's first follicular coffee cup. Melita Benz founded Melita Inc. in her residence on a small budget and registered her signature Melitta as a trademark.

Like siphon coffee, with the rise of fine coffee culture, hand-brewed coffee also ushered in a new spring. This ancient way of brewing coffee miraculously took root and blossomed in the eastern land, especially in Japan, South Korea, China Taiwan and inland areas. Especially since the 1950s, Japanese people have almost become obsessed with coffee brewing. Follicular and drip coffee filter cups of various materials emerge one after another. A complete set of hand-brewed follicular coffee theory and operation technology has been established, which has been loved by more and more people. It is really the proverb of "the west is not bright and the east is bright".
