Drip pot - short for: American coffee machine

The American coffee machine is a classic drip extraction; the American coffee pot is basically an electric coffee machine, suitable for medium or dark roasted coffee, with slightly finer grinding particles and a bitter taste. 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 tank to boiling, and the steam pressure pushes the water into the water pipe in turn, and then drips evenly into the filter containing coffee powder after passing through the distribution plate, and then flows into the glass; the power will be automatically cut off after the coffee flows out. Switch to the insulation state; the insulation plate at the bottom can keep the coffee at around 75℃. The American coffee pot has an insulation function, but if the insulation time is too long, the coffee will easily become sour.

Features: Simple and fast, convenient and practical, suitable for office use.

Taste: The coffee taste is relatively light.

Tea Maker - French Press Coffee Maker

Originated from around 1850; originated in France, it is a simple brewing device consisting of a heat-resistant glass bottle and a metal filter with a pressure rod.

However, don't underestimate this guy, it is not just a simple pouring of coffee powder, water, and casual filtering. Like all other coffee pots, the French press has strict requirements on the size of coffee grinding particles, water temperature, and extraction time. The principle of the French press: use the immersion method to release the essence of coffee through the immersion method of full contact between water and coffee powder.

Balanced plug wind pot - short for: siphon pot

The syphon pot, commonly known as the "glass ball" or "siphon", is a simple and easy-to-use coffee brewing method, and is also one of the most popular coffee brewing methods in coffee shops. The syphon pot is definitely a favorite style of literary youth, and the coffee is extracted through heating and atmospheric pressure. Compared with the hand-brewed pot, it is relatively easy to operate and easier to standardize. Although the syphon pot has the alias of "syphon", it has nothing to do with the siphon principle. Instead, it uses the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to generate water vapor after heating water, push the hot water in the lower sphere to the upper pot, and then suck the water in the upper pot back after the lower pot cools down, and a cup of pure coffee is made.

Features: Manual operation is fun and suitable for friends gathering.

Mocha coffee pot

The Moka pot was born in 1933 and extracts coffee through the pressure of boiling water. It is often called an Italian espresso Moka pot on Taobao, but this statement is not accurate. Real Italian espresso needs to be made under 9 atmospheric pressures, while the atmospheric pressure of the Moka pot can only reach 1 to 2, which is closer to a drip coffee machine. The Moka pot is divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts. Water is placed in the lower part to boil and generate steam pressure; the boiling water rises and passes through the upper part of the filter pot filled with coffee powder; when the coffee flows to the upper part, turn down the fire (the Moka pot is rich in fat because it extracts coffee based on the high pressure principle). It is a good coffee pot for making Italian espresso. However, when using an aluminum pot, the coffee oil will remain on the wall of the pot, so when the coffee is boiled again, this layer of oil becomes a "protective film". But if it is not used for a long time, this layer of oil will rot and produce odor.

Features: Simple and convenient operation; best for making espresso.

Taste: The coffee tastes mellow and rich with a slight bitter taste
