Scream Design ▏ Hand brewed coffee is not that difficult! With this coffee pot, even a novice can make it in 5 minutes

In the 1930s, the first coffee shop opened on the Bund in Shanghai. At that time, coffee was still a luxury product with a Western flavor. Since then, Starbucks and Costa have gradually expanded in the Chinese market. Coupled with the popularity of instant coffee, coffee has now become a must-have product for many people every day.

However, do you know what this in-demand product has become now? It is actually used to pair with Chinese breakfasts such as fried dough sticks and pancakes!

▲Wow, after living in China for nearly a hundred years, I finally learned to adapt to local customs. And it is said to be refreshing and refreshing, it is really a perfect match!

If you want to experience the mix of Western coffee and Chinese food every day, you actually only need a set of small tools: a hand-brewed coffee pot.

"A KINTO coffee maker that even beginners can use right away"

The KINTO coffee pot, which is easy for novices to use and has a high cost-effectiveness, follows the simple style of Japanese design.

Fully transparent glass pot + filter + measuring cup. Three pieces can be stacked and stored in one, which does not take up space in daily life and is very convenient to move or carry.

This coffee maker is available in two capacities: 300ml and 600ml.

The 300ml model is roughly the capacity of a common thermos cup; the 600ml model is suitable for sharing with a few friends at a gathering.

The filter is divided into two types: stainless steel and plastic.

The stainless steel model can filter automatically and is very convenient to use; the plastic model needs to be used with filter paper, which is more suitable for you who love literature and art (Tips from Screaming Jun: When you buy the plastic model, it comes with filter paper , it is really a thoughtful little angel).

There is a circular scale dot on the coffee pot, which is used to indicate the number of milliliters. The 300ml model has 1 dot (300), and the 600ml model has 2 dots (300/600).

▲Look carefully, there are two circular scale points on the 600ml glass pot in the picture

The almost invisible design also reflects KINTO's casualness. After all, as a home coffee maker, how much coffee to brew depends entirely on personal taste, and there is no need to use dense scale lines to deliberately remind yourself that there is too much or too little water.

The built-in measuring cup has 3 major functions.

1. It can be used to take and place beans;

Second, the scale lines facilitate quantification;

3. After brewing, it can be used to place the filter net and filter paper.

Each step does not affect each other, and greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of operation.

Screaming Man Test

I counted and found that the description of the KINTO coffee maker is about 400+ words. It is impossible to have more because it is really too simple.

Its simplicity lies not only in design, but also in usage. After talking about props, it’s time to actually “drink real beans”.

This time, Scream specially invited professional barista Yaya to review this KINTO coffee pot for us.

ps: As a product that even novice coffee lovers can easily use, I originally wanted to personally test it. However, since Yaya has a deep connection with this review, I personally invited her to test it.

As for the origin of this, I will leave it aside for now and explain it to you in detail at the end of this article.

Unboxing begins! First we see that the carton is very small. This time we took out the stainless steel version, and the three-piece set stacked together really saves space.

Next is the plastic model. The first thing you can see when you open the carton is the included filter paper (happy!). It is stacked in the same way as the stainless steel model, and there is almost no difference in size and appearance.

The glass pot is very round and the glass feels great! I looked carefully for a while before I saw this circular scale point, which is indeed very simple.

The measuring cup is made of plastic with a thick texture. It is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, and you can see two scale lines of 10g and 20g on it.

Three coffee drinks tested

• Easy-to-carry hot American coffee

Available type: Plastic filter + filter paper, 300ml

1. Use a measuring cup to take 20g of coffee beans, then start the bean grinding operation to exercise your arm strength (and relieve stress at the same time), and put the ground coffee powder back into the measuring cup

▲This measuring cup is really easy to use and can be used from beginning to end

2. Take a piece of filter paper and stick it on the plastic filter tip, soak it in boiling water and preheat it.

▲The filter paper that comes with the KINTO plastic filter cup coffee pot absorbs less water and allows water to pass through easily

3. Pour the coffee powder into the kettle and pour it in circles from the inside to the outside using a hand-brewed kettle filled with boiling water. Stop when it is full and continue pouring water later.

4. Wait for the dripping to be completed. Generally, 20g of coffee beans can be exchanged for 300ml of coffee. You can judge by observing the scale dots on the glass pot (you can also judge the taste based on the color of the dripping coffee and choose whether to continue adding water).

▲The measuring cup makes its debut again, serving as a temporary residence for the filter

In this way, we have a simple hot American coffee. Let's start enjoying the combination of pancakes and fried dough sticks, which not only satisfies the Chinese stomach that likes to eat hot food, but also effectively relieves greasiness.

You can fill this 300ml directly into a thermos and take it with you, and you will be in good spirits for the whole day.

▲KINTO's companion thermos cup has a minimalist design with sharp edges like a building. The large diameter is convenient for filling beverages, has good insulation effect, and is convenient to carry in bags and cars.

• Freestyle rich latte

Available type: Plastic filter + filter paper, 300ml

The so-called latte is actually coffee with milk added. For those who like coffee but are not used to pure coffee, adding milk is undoubtedly the simplest and most effective method.

The steps are exactly the same as above, except that you just add milk into the coffee at the end. It’s so easy!

▲KINTO ceramic cups and saucers are inspired by the octagonal design of the octagonal vase from the Southern Song Dynasty. They are neat and clean and easy to hold. This time they will be sold as a set with a coffee pot.

However, in Starbucks, a cup of latte with this simple step will cost 3-4 yuan more than the same cup of American coffee.

Latte originated in Italy. In the morning, Italians always brew coffee and milk at the same time in their kitchens, usually with a ratio of 70% milk to 30% coffee. American latte also has a thin layer of milk foam on the surface.

When making your own latte at home, you can freely adjust the ratio of milk to taste. After trying a few times, you will find the ratio that you like best.

• Refreshing iced coffee in summer

Model: Stainless steel, 300ml

1. Ground beans (20g)

2. Put ice cubes into the glass pot (about 15-20 square ice cubes)

▲KINTO's glass products have a very high safety factor. A dozen ice cubes can be poured into the glass pot without any problems. They are also not easy to break even in the case of sudden changes in temperature.

3. Pour the coffee powder directly into the stainless steel filter

4. Use a hand-brew kettle to inject boiling water, the same method as above

5. Wait for the drip filter to be completed and then pour into the cup

The process of making iced coffee is very simple, but it is extremely surprising for Screaming. Watching the coffee dripping slowly soak into the ice, it seems to submerge a small iceberg.

And when filling the cup at the end, there are still ice cubes falling into the cup with a click, and just listening to the sound makes people feel seven points cooler.

Screaming Man specially tested the cleaning ability of the stainless steel filter. A thin stream of water washed away all the coffee powder residue, so it can be rated 99 points!

In view of the difference in dripping time between filters of different materials, Screamer has made a special comparative evaluation.

The results showed that for the same 300ml drip coffee, the stainless steel model took 3 minutes and 54 seconds to complete the dripping, while the plastic model took 2 minutes and 44 seconds, a difference of more than 1 minute.

So, is it better to choose a plastic + filter paper coffee pot?

People who have literary ideals about coffee will naturally choose the plastic filter + filter paper model without hesitation. The drip filter speed is fast, and the included filter paper absorbs less water and easily passes through, which will not affect the flavor of the coffee.

And the filter paper can filter out more oil, and the coffee tastes relatively fresher. It will also be cleaner if you use a new filter paper every time.

For KINTO, which has been committed to integrating simple and practical industrial style design into life, the stainless steel model inherits its great achievements. From a practical point of view, the stainless steel filter can be reused and can be directly filtered without filter paper, which is more practical .

Although the dripping time is relatively long, more oil is retained and the body is better, which means the coffee aroma will be stronger .

▲If you really feel that the dripping time is too long, you might as well grind the coffee beans into coarser particles, which will make the dripping faster and easier to operate.

The preparation of the above three types of coffee, from grinding beans to cupping, takes about 5-7 minutes each. Compared with queuing for 5 minutes at a coffee shop and paying 20+ per cup of coffee, homemade coffee is more cost-effective!

From 6.30 to 7.7, place an order for a KINTO hand-poured coffee pot + coffee cup set, and Screaming will give away a Mr. Rose hand-poured coffee pot worth ￥129. The quantity is limited, and the gift will be given while stocks last!

"Misunderstood Hand-Poured Coffee"

--etc!

It takes 5 minutes to queue up at a coffee shop to buy a cup of coffee, and 10 seconds for a home automatic coffee machine to make a cup of coffee. Which one is not simple and hassle-free? Why do we need to brew coffee by hand?

In fact, "hand brewed coffee" has been misunderstood for many years. In the eyes of many people, it means complicated, cumbersome, time-consuming, expensive equipment , and most importantly, it seems "too professional".

But have you ever thought about it? There are so many things to pay attention to when making tea (water quality, water temperature, cups, utensils, and techniques), but most Chinese people just boil water and pour it into the pot?

▲To some extent, tea and coffee, as representatives of Chinese and Western food culture, still have many similarities.

Most people in Europe and America have coffee equipment at home, but not every home has a barista. For them, brewing coffee is just like brewing a cup of tea, it is completely: you can make it how you want.

Naturally, coffee utensils are just a set of necessary tools. Simple and easy to use is the first factor in choosing. Just like this KINTO coffee pot~ (hmm, nodding like a garlic.jpg)

Mr. Scream mentioned above that Yaya has a connection with this review because it was she who told Mr. Scream about the cool combination of coffee and fried dough sticks and pancakes!

Yaya, a post-90s barista, is a certified barista by the SCA Specialty Coffee Association and the founder of The Peccary boutique coffee shop in New York/New Jersey, USA.

Her coffee career started at Starbucks. After 8 years of coffee learning, teaching, and running a specialty coffee shop, her attitude towards coffee is quite surprising!

"Coffee is a very common drink, just like water and tea that people drink every day."

She also practices this in her daily life. When she went to Wuhan on a business trip some time ago, she would eat fried dough sticks wrapped in siu mai or hot dry noodles with coffee every day. When she talked about this new combination, she almost had the urge to promote it to the whole world.
