Is it better to use a siphon pot or a dripping pot to make coffee?

Brewing coffee in a siphon pot will taste lighter than that in a French filter kettle, because some of the water in the tube in the upper pot will not flow into the upper pot and come into contact with coffee powder. In addition, because alcohol has been heated all the time, it tends to be extracted at high temperature, so it is easy to extract bitterness or astringency and become stronger. And its use of filter cloth will also filter out some of the original smell of coffee. But it depends on one's hobbies and preferences, because different utensils have their own uniqueness.

"siphon" (also translated as "plug wind") is a physical phenomenon, which means that under certain conditions, it is possible to pump liquid without using a pump. The name of the siphon pot comes from this phenomenon. Not only is the name "very physical", but the shape of the siphon pot is also full of scientific research. Unlike the giant espresso machine (Espresso Machine) in Starbucks, which brings a sense of the future of technology, the siphon pot gives you the feeling that-- how to say, it looks into the future from the age of Nikolai Tesla.

After choosing the beans, you will know the making tools. The siphon pot can be divided into three parts: a cylindrical upper pot for making coffee, a spherical lower pot for heating and receiving coffee (usually placed on a bracket), and finally an alcohol lamp or halogen lamp for heating (I use a more economical alcohol lamp today). In addition, you need a kettle to boil water, a cloth soaked in cold water, and a stick or spoon to stir coffee (I heard that the most fastidious Japanese barista will even make a special mixing stick the size of his hand out of bamboo).

The first step is to pour hot water into the ball under the glass, bring it to a boil over high heat and wait for the water to boil. Half of the coffee per cup should be added with 200cc, 175cc when not pouring the bottom water, and 350cc when boiling two cups. After pouring water, dry the glass ball with a dishcloth, otherwise it will easily break the glass.

The second step is to load the filter into the upper ball, take the filter out of the water and press it dry, hook the filter hook to the bottom of the ball, and then use the adjusting rod to adjust the filter position to the middle position.

The third step, after the water boils, insert the upper ball into the lower ball, at this time the heat is very important, you need to adjust the fire into a small fire, carefully tilt the ball on the glass into the lower ball, and make sure that the water will not roll too much. Press the ball on the glass straight down a little and rotate at the same time.

The fourth step, after the water rises by half, put the coffee powder, start stirring, and start to time, a cup of coffee powder is 15 grams, after adding the coffee powder, start stirring for the first time, do not stir around the circle, should draw 3/4 yuan back and forth, press the powder into the water from the top down, so that the forces of two different directions collide with each other, do not stir too long, so that the coffee powder evenly dispersed into the water.
