American electric coffee maker

In movies, people often pick up a pot of coffee from an American coffee pot and say, "Want some coffee?"

Even coffee farmers in coffee producing areas use American coffee pots as their main cooking utensils.

The use of American electric coffee maker is very simple.

1. Fill water into the water tank

two。 Put the filter on the filter (some machines are metal filter or gauze filter, you can put the filter paper or not.)

3. Put in coffee powder

4. turn on

5. Let the coffee drip slowly to the amount you want (usually there are several people marked on the glass pot of the American coffee maker)

6. Enjoy this cup of coffee

After looking at these six steps, you may wonder: "is it really that easy to make a cup of coffee?"

The answer is yes. And even if the method is so simple, you can still play with the American coffee maker.

The following suggestions are made:

1. Ratio of coffee powder to water:

In general, an American coffee maker comes with a coffee spoon, which is designed with one spoonful of coffee powder and one serving of water. You can cook it according to this proportion first. If you want to drink a little stronger, add more coffee powder, and if you want to drink something light, add less.

Give it a try, so you can find the proportion you like.

two。 The roughness of coffee powder:

The thickness of the coffee powder will affect the time for the water to stay in the coffee powder, the thinner is longer, and the thicker is shorter. In addition to the thickness will change, the taste of coffee will also be different. If you have a bean grinder on hand, you can experiment with this.

3. The way to put the coffee powder:

There are three ways you can put coffee powder into the filter.

a. Knock the coffee powder flat

b. Let the coffee powder form a hill.

c. Dig a hole in the powder layer

The coffee made in all three ways is different, you can try all of them.

4. Soaking time

In addition to the above two ways to control the shade, you can also control the soaking time by turning off the switch and stopping the water supply. You can turn on the water supply at the beginning, turn off the switch when the coffee drips out, wait for 20 to 30 seconds (but adjust the waiting time yourself), and then turn on the switch to let it finish. When soaking in this way, you can soak out your favorite taste.

5. The change of coffee beans

When buying beans, don't hesitate to ask the seller when the beans you buy will be baked. Beans change every day for two weeks from the day they are baked at room temperature. If you observe the changes of coffee carefully, you will find that coffee is really an interesting drink.

6. Drink coffee

When you get the coffee that the American coffee pot has just brewed for you, try a little black coffee first. See what the original taste is, and if you have friends to drink with you, you can discuss the taste of this cup of coffee together. If you can accept the taste of this black coffee, you might as well drink it directly. When the coffee is a little colder and cold to room temperature, it will change.

If you find black coffee unacceptable, you might consider drinking it lighter, or generously add sugar and cream. After all, this cup is your coffee.

7. Drink the freshly brewed coffee while it is hot, don't keep it warm, don't heat it again. (generally speaking, American coffee pots have the function of keeping warm, so you can turn off the power after cooking.)

8. Warm the glass pot with hot water before making coffee, which can reduce the appearance of non-good acid.
