The usage of hario hand bean grinder which kind of good brand is recommended

Some friends here will say, as long as it is not grinding right now!? I bought a few dozen yuan of spiral bean grinder on Taobao and now I can OK it. In fact, as long as your beans are good enough and fresh enough, it must be much better than buying coffee powder directly to brew and extract! But you still waste coffee beans! A spiral bean chopper (we call it a bean chopper because this machine crushes beans by chopping rather than grinding) not only can't process coffee beans into uniform coffee powder, but also generates a lot of heat in the process of chopping. Coffee powder accelerates the oxidation process when heated. The flavor will also be taken away! In addition, under the first principle of successful extraction of boutique coffee (uniform extraction), because the coffee powder particles chopped by the chopping machine are coarse and fine, it will also lead to the failure of coffee extraction! The most direct is excessive extraction, or insufficient extraction! The coffee with insufficient extraction will be sour and astringent, and the coffee with excessive extraction will be too bitter!

If you don't understand, a simple example is fried sour and spicy shredded potatoes. If some of the shredded potatoes you cut are thick and thin, then you will find that the thick ones are still raw when you stir-fry the fine ones and put them into the pan. But if you stir-fry the coarse ones, the fine ones will be fried into mashed potatoes! So a good bean grinder is the first product for good baristas in the field of boutique coffee, rather than coffee machines or other extraction tools! This is why the price of bean grinders with excellent performance can be tens of thousands of reasons!

1. Applicable scenario

Hand flushing, siphon kettle, pressure kettle and similar brewing methods at home are recommended to use a hand grinder. It is not recommended to use espresso if it is made.

2 selection of grinding core

The movement of the hand bean grinder is divided into metal and ceramic. The metal will heat when grinding, making the aroma of coffee beans volatilize ahead of time; the ceramic is fragile, but the ceramic is basically not hot, so the aroma is corrected.

3 Brand introduction

Many people are using the sloshing A12 affordable, Kyocera, HARIO and TIAMO are also good, HARIO shanzhai Kyocera, TIAMO copycat HARIO. The grinding core of HARIO is manufactured by Kyocera, the brand of TIAMO is made in Taiwan, almost all of it is made in the mainland, and the plastic of TIAMO may not be safe. The grinding core of Kyocera CM45 can grind the powder needed by espresso, and I think it is better to grind espresso powder with special electric mill (not the best hand mill, such as HG-ONE).

4 using skills

Hand grinder gives everyone the impression that it is very tired to grind. At present, coffee beans are more popular in the domestic market for medium and deep roasting, and beans are still easy to grind. You can try to sit on the stool, clip the bean grinder on your knee, and then start grinding. I usually use this method, which is very easy to say, and you don't have to press down hard.

5 Clean

After each use, try to clean the residual powder in the grinding core, bean warehouse, powder cartridge and powder cartridge. When it is not clean, you can blow it in the dishwashing pool with your eyes closed. If it is not used for a long time or for a long time, it can be cleaned with warm water again. If the grinding core is metal, it cannot be washed with water.
