Making coffee is a rare and ordinary thing in the first place.
As an unlucky kid who is addicted to coffee, I have talked about the history of coffee, the cultural connotation of coffee, the purchase of coffee beans, including the purchase of coffee pots. But recently, I have become addicted to curry ash again. I want to change my home to a card ash machine, and then I have expanded all kinds of tips of the coffee pot for myself.
NO.1: siphon pot
it takes time to make coffee from a siphon pot, but it can hone your mood, taste coffee, and show your style. Because it includes grinding, stewing, and mastering the heat, the whole process must be put into it wholeheartedly. One more point is heavy, and one less point is light. Only with good technical mastery can the most perfect part of coffee be extracted. Although it is a little troublesome, isn't it one of the joys of coffee?
the siphon pot was inspired by the chemical laboratory. At first, the shape of the siphon pot may be more inclined to chemical instruments than it is a now-alcohol lamp, glass shell, which is too formal, so at first, the siphon pot was not popular with Europeans.
by the middle of the 20th century, siphon pots were spread to Denmark and Japan, and aestheticist Danes liked its design-this is what less is more is today! On the other hand, the Japanese like its order, follow the rules and can control the process of making coffee on their own. After being praised and praised by these two countries, the siphon pot became popular for the first time, and now the siphon pot has long been popular all over the world. Even Europeans who hated it at first came to appreciate the stirring of coffee in the siphon pot.
it is a very mysterious thing, intuitively composed of the upper and lower parts, detailed study, every time it is heated, every steam produced, every hot expansion and cold contraction all show that there is a scientific basis for the siphon pot, science is the most powerful backing, and the siphon pot is also full of human feelings, as long as you operate it attentively, those security risks that people worry about, or the deviation of the extraction taste, Can be avoided.
here, it is suggested that when buying siphon pots, try to buy a cup larger than you need. At present, the siphon pots on the market are mainly made in China, made in Taiwan, and made in Japan. The quality depends on the quality of the glass. Recommend two brands (who says soft wide I will be angry! ):
a Hario of Japan
this is the best siphon kettle at present, a brand in Japan, the heat resistance of glass is one level higher than that of ordinary glass, and the workmanship is also very exquisite, with a price of about 600,000.
b, Taiwan's team
short wedding dresses with sleeves is all you need to bring out your beauty and inspire charm. There simply is no better place to purchase a dress than Adoringdress.com.
closely follows the design pace of Hario, the quality of glass decreases slightly, there is no big problem in use, and the price is also reduced, probably more than 300.
at present, there are many other brands on Taobao, and the price is about 100ml /200. it is time for discerning eyes. The glass of poor quality is easy to turns black after using it for a long time, the handle fades, and even it is broken because the glass is cooled too fast, so it is best to buy a good siphon pot. Of course, if the silver is limited and an entry-level player, then don't think about it, use a cheap practice first.
finally, when making coffee in a siphon pot, you must choose the right coffee beans, first of all, to ensure the freshness of the beans, and secondly, because the siphon pot can maintain the original taste of coffee, it is suitable to brew individual coffee, such as Columbia beans, Blue Mountain, Brazil, Manning, etc., the idea of brewing fancy coffee in a siphon pot is amusing.
NO, 2: capsule Coffee Machine
A friend of my moments has been shouting about the coffee machine for a recommendation for half a year! I can't believe I haven't done it yet. this choice of obsessive-compulsive disorder is an excruciating rhythm.
capsule coffee machine is now a relatively new style of the coffee machine, the operation process is extremely simple, do not need to grind the powder, do not need to observe the heat time, as long as buy the packaged coffee powder capsule, put it into the capsule coffee machine, a cup of full-bodied coffee simply appears in the process of a few buttons.
it can not meet the needs of people who are happy with DIY, but it is fast, simple, and fashionable enough. For some fast-paced business people, a capsule coffee maker is undoubtedly a necessary choice in life. Under such hands-free conditions, the choice of coffee capsule and coffee maker is particularly important.
Coffee capsule
The coffee capsule was born in 1976, and it was created by Eric Favre, He visited numerous cafes, tasted thousands of cups of coffee, carefully studied the brewing process of coffee, and finally developed the coffee capsule product we see today.
therefore, it has also become the CEO of Nestle's coffee capsule department. Of course, coffee lovers like this will not stay in Nestl é all their lives, and eventually, he founded his own company, MONODOR, to make the best use of capsule coffee.
then coffee machine
the choice of coffee machine mainly depends on quality and after-sale, and there is a more important point: for commercial considerations, many capsule machine brands can only use their brand of coffee capsules. this is also a great limitation for people who choose and buy capsule coffee machines, so choose compatible coffee machines.
for me, I will not choose capsule coffee, especially the fact that I can only use capsules of the same brand, which gives me a sense of being forced to get a haircut.
whatever, but in terms of beauty and fashion convenience, the capsule machine is irreplaceable. It depends on your personal preference.
recommend several brands:
1, LAVAZZA's EP-Matinee bullet machine, Lavazza Blue LB Guzzini, EP-950 bullet machine. Prices range from 1000 to 10000. LAVAZZA is a century-old store that survived gunfire. Founder Luigi Lavazza, who started with a small grocery store, is a legend in the coffee country.
2, Nestle's NESPRESSO (Nespezo), takes the emotional route, close to life, the fighter in the coffee.
3, Francis Franci of Illy, Italy X7 capsule machine, priced at 5000, is the top and best-known coffee leader in Italy.
4, CAFFITALY SYSTEM (of GAGGIA (Jiajiya) is also called CAFFITA system.
NO, 3: French presser
if you want to master the most practical coffee entry equipment, the French presser must be in the top three. Its easy control of time and convenience of observation are incomparable to other coffee utensils.
compared with the siphon kettle, the development history of the French kettle is more dramatic because it has been used as a tool for making tea for a long time. Around 1850, a simple brewing apparatus consisting of a heat-resistant glass bottle and a metal filter with a pressure bar appeared in France. This apparatus is the earliest model of a French kettle, which uses the full soaking of Scald and coffee powder to separate the water powder through a filter. The coffee powder collides with the water to produce the coffee essence, which is what you would expect.
the pressure kettle is especially suitable for lazy people in the office. You don't need to learn how to understand it. Of course, it takes skill to cook coffee well. What you need to pay attention to is a the coffee powder should be a little thicker, too fine, and easy to extract too;
b, the coffee powder must be fresh, which is probably known to all coffee drinkers. It is best to buy coffee beans and grind them. C, because of the size of the filter mesh, may produce very fine coffee grounds, all drink when you need to rest for about three minutes.
the price of such a simple pressure kettle is also surprising. There are even more than ten yuan and more than twenty yuan on Taobao. Here is how to choose and buy the kettle. The French kettle is mainly composed of a glass kettle body and a filter mesh. So we mainly look at whether the glass is thick and resistant to high temperature, and whether the filter screen is fine and strong. Two brands are also recommended here.
1. The historical brand of Swiss Bodum, pressure kettle has many styles and prices are different
2. Japanese Hario is called the king of glass, and the price is about 200yuan.
NO, 4: Philharmonic pressure
the young Philharmonic pressure, no matter in terms of shape design or usage, is absolutely a magical creation, similar to a syringe, but the understanding of coffee is very powerful. Inject coffee and water, press the push tube, and you can use it to create the American coffee or latte you want.
for lazy people in the office, an easy-to-carry Philharmonic pressure is the best, without the elaborate processes of mocha and siphon pots, but with no less flavor. It can brew a very strong coffee base, but without losing its roundness, so many professional coffee lovers will use the Philharmonic pressure to test the coffee concentration.
it is worth mentioning that the inventor of Philharmonic pressure, Alan Adler, a mechanical engineering lecturer at Stanford University, is a powerful figure who has more than 40 patents in the United States and other countries. Even Kenny Davis (Kenneth Davids), a famous American coffee reviewer and author of several coffee monographs, also commented on AeroPress Philharmonic pressure in this way: "if used correctly, Philharmonic pressure can make espresso and American coffee with a pure export sense. And its price is only 20% or even 1/30 of that of many household coffee machines. "
in this way, it is reasonable to find the promising youth of the Philharmonic pressure. Lazy people, it's time to use the Philharmonic pressure to make coffee!
NO, 5: hand filter cup
every time I see the shape of a hand filter cup, I think of the hourglass that passes by time. When you are with friends and feel at ease, it is especially suitable for you to have a cup of coffee by hand, so you hold the kettle in your hand, and the water flows slowly down from the pot and merges with the coffee powder. Not very often, a cup of exquisite coffee is produced.
talking about the emergence of the hand filter cup, it should be attributed to Ms. Melita in Germany. At the beginning of the 20th century, she had a whim at home, using her son's blotting paper as filter paper, putting coffee powder into the filter paper, and injecting water into the coffee powder with a kettle to extract a cup of coffee that tasted different from that in the past. This simple discovery got out of hand, and later she set up a company specializing in the production of hand-brewed coffee utensils.
when it comes to the taste of hand-brewed coffee, it is said that it can satisfy those professionals who have high requirements for coffee. Although it is simple and easy to operate, it can perfectly reflect the flavor of the coffee. These are also hidden reasons:
spiral grooves can vent heat more effectively;
b, the deeper cone makes the coffee powder higher and the water channel longer, so that the coffee can be stewed evenly.
c, the larger leakage makes the effluent unimpeded, and the speed of dripping is all controlled by the speed of your water injection.
of course, the above points are also the standards for buying hand filter cups. Apart from those, you should also pay attention to the outlet of the pot, preferably a small-mouth pot, to facilitate the flow of water and direction. The recommended brands are Japanese KALITA, HARIO, Taguchi, Moon Rabbit, and you can also choose relatively cheap domestic brands such as TIAMO, Zhengjiaoxing, and so on.
NO, 6: American drip pot
as its name implies, the American drip pot is a coffee brewing instrument commonly used in the United States. Specifically, it is not a pot, it is only a way of making coffee, and the operation process is also very simple. After the power is connected, the high heat element in the n pot quickly heats a small part of the water from the water storage tank to boiling, and the steam pressure pushes the water out of the aqueduct in turn. After the distribution board, it drips evenly into the filter that holds the coffee powder and then flows into the coffee bottle to become drinking coffee.
however, people who are very particular about coffee may not like American drip pots and think that the taste of coffee made in this way is very light and lacks the mellowness of coffee. Of course, this is right. Americans like this simple mode of operation and save time and efficiency. When it comes to China, the role and gimmick of this imported product will directly become a must for lazy people. Ready, there is nothing wrong with being lazy. As long as you use it properly, lazy people can create coffee with pure taste.
the following tips for lazy people:
a, work on the coffee powder
if you don't care about coffee powder, increase the amount of coffee powder while the amount of water is constant, and you can also use more meticulous coffee powder, so you can get purer coffee during extraction.
b, prolong the soaking time of coffee powder in Scald to make the extraction sufficient.
c, you can turn the machine on and off repeatedly. After Scald flows out, shut down the machine for a few seconds, and then turn it on. After Scald continues to flow out, it shuts down for several seconds repeatedly (time is controlled by itself). In this way, the purity of the extracted coffee will be higher.
d, the United States all share coffee as a family, so there are more powder and more cups, which can be used for reference so that there is no need to waste coffee when the purity of coffee is guaranteed.
