Introduction to the brewing method of V60 filter cup hand coffee pot using tutorial steps in detail

Qianjie shares the brewing articles of filter cups and chooses different filter cups according to different roasting in order to make a good cup of coffee. Take the V60 as an example, it is a very classic brewing appliance, and this filter cup is used for all the flavorful coffee brewed in the front street. The long ribs of the V60 filter cup help to quickly extract flavor substances, the macropores do not have the risk of hindrance, and the extracted coffee has a layered feel. All right, here is the "drama meat". If you look at it, you can learn more about the characteristics and cooking skills of the filter cup.

When it comes to what kind of filter cup you use to make coffee, you will definitely say V60 filter cup at first impression. today, let's talk about the characteristics of V60 filter cup.

Structural characteristics of V60 filter cup

The V60 filter cup designed by the Japanese company Hario can be said to be one of the instruments that every beginner must enter. The name V60, which means a conical angle of 60 °, is quite intuitive. The data of 60 °angle is constantly verified by Hario that coffee powder can be distributed centrally, and water can also flow to the center of the filter cup during water injection, ensuring that the contact time between water and coffee powder is enough to extract the right coffee liquid.

Another structural feature of the V60 filter cup is that the ribs on the inside of the cup body, the spiral shape extends all the way from the bottom to the top, and the function is to guide the flow, so that there is enough space between the filter paper and the filter cup, so that the flow of water is good and the flow velocity is relatively fast. it is also a filter cup with a fast flow velocity among many filter cups. In addition, the ribs of the V60 filter cup rotate clockwise, and when injected clockwise, it will flow more smoothly along the lines, and if it is injected counterclockwise, it will slow down the flow of water. The large hole in the bottom of the V60 filter cup is also designed to promote the flow velocity.

V60 filter cup material

Hario itself sells glass products. When the V60 filter cup was first launched, it was made of heat-resistant glass, followed by ceramics, resin, and now metal. The thermal insulation properties of V60 filter cups made of four different materials are different: resin > ceramic > glass > metal. Good heat preservation performance can better ensure the stability of water flow temperature in the cooking process, and then will not affect the effect of extraction too much.

V60 filter cup model

There are two models of V60 filter cup: 01 and 02, the difference is that 02 is larger than 01, which can be made for two people, while 01 is suitable for one person. Qianjie coffee is recommended to choose 01, meet more people to brew more times, so that the product will be more stable, because if you use 02 to brew more people, the amount of powder will be more, and the powder layer will be thicker, so it will be more difficult to control when brewing. Therefore, when many coffee shops produce products, they mostly use model 01.

Flavor description: the wet fragrance has ripe tomato and flower aromas, imported virgin fruit and black plum flavor, bright acidity, clean and the most solid and rich taste. The middle part is sweet and juicy, with sweet berry and yellow sugar on the finish, with aromas of green tea.

Generally speaking, the fast flow rate and many ribs of the V60 filter cup make the coffee flavor slightly weaker in the alcohol thickness and layering, but this also means that the use of the V60 filter cup will rarely have the appearance of extraction or miscellaneous odor infiltration, so it is a very friendly appliance for beginners.
