[coffee common sense] the difference between Italian VS hand brew, Italian coffee and hand brew coffee

Yes, there are thousands of kinds of coffee. I just want to divide them into two categories-one is called espresso, the other is called non-Italian.

Why are they classified in this way? When we drink a cup of coffee, we need to know where it comes from. Then the magical thing appeared, these two kinds of coffee making utensils have the difference in principle! Today, we will help you sort out these two categories of coffee from the perspective of brewing equipment.

What is espresso?

Espresso refers to all modified coffee drinks based on Espresso/ espresso made by espresso machines. For example, we usually drink kabu, latte, mocha and American style, which are all coffee drinks made by adding milk or water to Espresso.

The term SOE, which is the abbreviation of SIngle Origin espresso, translates to the meaning of espresso from a single producing area, which refers to the coffee produced with only a single item of coffee beans. The production of SOE coffee will rise to the espresso system, which will involve the Italian coffee machine about the atmospheric pressure of 9bar as another extraction condition. So this is one of the reasons why the baking rhythm of single coffee is different from that of SOE coffee.

What is hand-made coffee?

Although there are a variety of utensils for making single coffee, a hundred flowers blossom, but the mainstream extraction methods are manual extraction and siphon extraction under atmospheric pressure, if it has to be divided into the first and second, the order quantity of hand-brewed single coffee in coffee shops is relatively more than that of other single-product production methods in most coffee shops. The reason should be attributed to: convenient production, clean and convenient, of course, as well as the grasp of the taste and the pursuit of the point.

Hand punching equipment basically includes: a filter cup, a bottom pot, a hand punch pot and filter paper.

And the production method of hand coffee is also very simple, basically according to the ratio of powder to water at 1:15, the water temperature is 88-92 degrees (different roasting degrees and different parameters), briefly summarize the first washing filter paper, then cloth powder, finally brewing, dripping filtration, out of the cup. In addition to simple and convenient, compared with tens of thousands of Italian coffee machines, hand coffee utensils are not comparable in price.

Compared with the rich and mellow espresso, the high fault-tolerant rate of hand-brewed coffee can better reflect the taste of the coffee bean itself, and without the influence of other additives, we can feel the unique flavor of the coffee bean itself more intuitively. For example, Yega Xuefei can be seen everywhere, and the hand-made Yega basically perfectly presents its own floral characteristics and citrus flavor!
