Types, characteristics and taste of coffee pots

With the popularity of cafes and the rise of the concept of "boutique coffee" in the third wave of coffee, more and more people like coffee, a drink with a unique flavor.

However, the equipment, appliances, water and sewerage hardware engineering and space required for espresso often deter ordinary coffee lovers and turn to other brewing appliances.

However, due to the wide variety of coffee utensils on the market, it is often impossible for them to start. This article introduces several common utensils for beginners.

American dripping kettle

Introduction: drip coffee machine is a classic drip filter. After the power is turned on, the high heat element in the coffee pot quickly heats a small part of the water flowing from the water storage tank to boiling, and the steam pressure pushes the water out of the water delivery pipe in turn, drips evenly into the filter containing coffee powder through the distribution plate, and then flows into the coffee bottle to become drinking coffee. The insulation board at the bottom of the coffee bottle keeps the coffee at a temperature of about 75 ℃.

Features: simple, efficient, reliable, most suitable for family, office and dormitory use. And super lazy people.

Palate: coffee tastes fresh and light

French pressure kettle

Introduce: a kind of simple brewing apparatus which originated in France about 1850 is composed of a heat-resistant glass bottle and a metal filter with a pressure bar. At first, it was mostly used to brew black tea, so it is also called tea maker. The principle of using the pressure pot to make coffee: the essence of coffee is released by soaking and stewing through the full contact between water and coffee powder.

Features: easy to operate, simple, fast and easy to master. It is also suitable for office friends and super lazy people.

Taste: it can perfectly reflect the flavor of individual coffee.

Hand filter cup

Features: the operation is simple, convenient and fast. It is also suitable for friends in the office and those who are at home (those who have high requirements for the taste of coffee).

Matching utensils: hand punch filter paper filter cup conical pot

Taste: can perfectly reflect the flavor characteristics of coffee

Siphon kettle

Introduction: siphon pot (Syphon), commonly known as "glass ball" or "siphon", is a simple and easy-to-use coffee brewing method, and it is also one of the most popular coffee brewing methods in cafes. Although the siphon pot has the nickname of "plug wind", it has nothing to do with the siphon principle, but uses water heating to produce water vapor, causing thermal expansion and cold contraction, pushing the hot water from the lower sphere to the upper pot, and then sucking back the water from the upper pot after the lower pot cools. I made a cup of pure coffee.

Features: suitable for leisurely friends at home, with romantic feelings of friends.

Taste: siphon brewed coffee is a favorite of many coffee fans. Some people say that because it can extract the most perfect part of coffee, especially the characteristics of coffee beans with that kind of refreshing and bright acid, and the acid has a mellow flavor, siphon cooking can give full play to the characteristics of this kind of coffee.

Mocha pot

Introduction: it is divided into two parts: the water is put in the lower part to boil and boil to produce vapor pressure; the boiling water rises and passes through the upper half of the filter pot with coffee powder; when the coffee flows to the upper half, turn off the fire.

Features: the operation is relatively simple and convenient. The mocha pot is used to extract coffee under high pressure, so don't buy it cheaply, which leads to unnecessary danger. Friends who like espresso.

Palate: the coffee is mellow and full-bodied with a slightly bitter taste (if it is scorched, then you are overcooked)

Philharmonic pressure

Introduction: AeroPress (Philharmonic pressure). It caused a lot of repercussions when it went public. It simply looks like an improved filter kettle. But it has more filter paper, so the coffee comes out very clean. In addition, it has piston, so it can cause a small amount of pressure and increase the extraction rate. If you want to have an espresso in the office, Philharmonic pressure may be a good tool.

Features: the coffee concentration from Aero Press is quite elastic. Put a little less water, or a little more relative powder, and your coffee will be much richer. I like to use it for a simple single coffee quality test: use it as a single "espresso". Strictly speaking, it's just very, very full-bodied coffee, but it can't be called espresso. Its coffee is so strong that it should be no problem for the average household user to use it as a latte base.

Palate: it can make a strong coffee base, but it has a round, thick and clean taste.
