Step 2

Put the right amount of coffee powder into the filter, about 12 grams per cup.

Step 3

Secret

The American coffee machine has the effect of heat preservation and can retain the original taste of coffee. But to avoid holding time for too long, lest the coffee become sour and bitter.

Italian coffee maker (mocha pot)

Principle: in the way of high pressure, let the steam quickly pass through the coffee powder and extract a cup of strong coffee.

Suitable for coffee: finely ground, heavy-baked coffee powder.

Degree of grinding: coarser than powder. It is similar to fine granulated sugar.

Use a coffee maker to make a good cup of coffee:

Step 1

Scoop the coffee powder into the coffee filter, see the coffee above the level of the lid, and cut off the excess coffee powder with a flat knife of 7 tablespoons.

Step 2

Knock the coffee filter cover so that the coffee powder is evenly distributed. This is why the better Italian coffee makers use heavier metal to make coffee filters, because if they are made of other materials, they may not be able to withstand too many heavy knocks.

Step 3

Press the coffee powder in the lid with a press stick. When pressing coffee powder, it is best to keep the surface level of coffee powder, otherwise the steam will be uneven. It is best to press with the muscles under the thumb. It is easier to apply force evenly. You can try how many times the force of pressure is required. The important thing is to try the same batch of coffee powder several times before you can master the relationship between your pressing method and the function of the machine.

Step 4

Knock off the coffee powder on the edge of the coffee powder just pressed (horizontally), press it again, turn 900 with your wrist at the same time, and then remove the coffee powder around the filter cover.

Step 5

Lock the filter cover, put the water in as instructed by the machine, press the switch and steam begins to pass through the coffee powder.

Third, siphon kettle

It is suitable for people who have leisure, are not afraid of the trouble of listening to the pot, have delicate hands and feet, and do not often break things.

Principle: using the siphon principle, the boiling water is washed into coffee powder and stewed to produce the original flavor of coffee.

Suitable for coffee: slightly sour, medium-bodied coffee

Degree of grinding: slightly thicker than powder, close to special fine granulated sugar.

Siphon coffee turns the living room into a cafe

Siphon brewed coffee is a favorite of many coffee fans. Some people say that because it can extract the most perfect part of coffee, it is that if the characteristics of coffee beans have that 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.

There are also many people who like the precision of siphon cooking with a little laboratory flavor. Watching the water rise as the water boils, the coffee extracted into black drops, step by step in the hands of the coffee maker. Using an Italian coffee machine often leaves part of the process to a machine, and siphon coffee seems to satisfy some people who like do-it-yourself DIY.
