Coffee cloth powder press what's the difference-manual video tutorial

Single Espresso usually 7g powder, double 14g powder, triple 21g powder, with single handle and double handle to choose from, double head is the most commonly used, the amount of coffee powder is the first thing you need to grasp.

It usually takes a while to find a good bean grinder (usually very expensive) to ensure the quality of Espresso. Recommend three better bean grinders: Baratza Virtuoso and Rancilio Rocky and the Mazzer Mini.

When we put the coffee powder into the powder bowl, we finally need to ensure that the coffee powder is evenly distributed. As you can see from the photo below, the coffee powder has been piled into a hill so that there is enough coffee powder to fill the gap when powdered.

Water will flow out of these pits, and there is no doubt that this place has become a route for the rapid flow of water, resulting in uneven extraction in this area, and of course the aroma of coffee is out of the question.

Now let's talk about the impact of too tight pressure on Espresso extraction. If the coffee powder is pressed very tightly and the water cannot penetrate the pressed powder at nine atmospheric pressures, I dare not imagine the taste of this cup after dripping 30ml and the time it will take. I believe such an espresso would also be a very failed cup.

Tell your friends how the correct coffee powder filling is done. In the process of pressing the powder, after evenly laying the coffee powder, the action of pressing is carried out immediately. Generally, there is an action of leveling with a slight force, and only after this action is the action of real pressure. At the end of the mild pressure, some people will have a bump on the handle to let the powder attached to the powder bowl fall into the powder bowl, and then put the handle hammer horizontally in the powder bowl and rotate clockwise three times. Then rotate counterclockwise once and lift the handle hammer so that our coffee powder is pressed.

The above mentioned rotary pressing powder is to make the coffee cake surface smooth, beginners often can not grasp the strength but the coffee cake pressure is uneven, so we can try to reduce the pressure as much as possible. try this method when you have a good grasp of the pressure.
