Homemade coffee at home: essential tools, from the simplest to the most sophisticated

Nowadays, more and more people love to drink coffee. Coffee has almost been integrated into people’s lives and become a part of life.

I remember that at the beginning of the year, Su Daqiang from the TV series "All Is Well" became a hot topic because of that cup of freshly ground coffee, which shows how much people love freshly ground coffee.

Although everyone likes freshly ground coffee, they have been suffering from tools, brewing skills, time and other reasons, which has led to them only being able to drink instant coffee or buy a cup of ready-made coffee in a coffee shop. Xiaolu has talked about brewing skills with you before, which can be regarded as solving the problem of skills. The problem of time can only be arranged by everyone, so now let's talk about the problem of tools.

1. Grinding tools

This kind of hand-grinding coffee machine can be used by ordinary households. It is very easy to use. Put the coffee beans in from the top, then turn the handle on the top, and the ground coffee powder falls into the small drawer below.

The price of this kind of coffee bean grinding machine usually starts at 30 yuan. For general family use, it is recommended to choose one priced around 50 yuan, and the quality will be sufficient.

2. Hand punch tool

Generally, it consists of a hand-pour pot, a filter cup, and filter paper. There are no special requirements for the filter cup, and the shape of the filter paper can be selected according to the filter cup. However, for the hand-pour pot, a slightly slender hand-pour pot is recommended, which will make it easier for beginners to control the water flow.

Hand pouring has been pushed to the altar in the coffee brewing world, and it has never come down!

It is generally recommended to buy these tools for between 100-200 yuan.

3. French Press

It is a simpler brewing method than hand brewing. Put the coffee in the pot and press it to extract it. This method is very suitable for use at home.

The price of a French press is also very cheap, about 50-80 yuan is enough for family use.

4. American coffee machine

The drip extraction method of the American coffee machine is similar to that of the hand-brewing tool, but it is more intelligent and often does not require human control, so it has always been very popular.

Our office uses a coffee machine that costs about 300 yuan. It is very easy to use and you can also refer to it.

5. Moka Pot

It can also be called an "Italian drip pot", which is a tool used to extract espresso. It has two layers, the lower part is for water, and the upper part is a filter for coffee powder. Although its brewing method is not a concentrated method of extraction, it is closer to the drip method, but the coffee made by the coffee grinder is closer to the concentration and flavor of Italian espresso, so it is very popular among people.

These coffee machines can easily complete the coffee brewing skills at home, and the brewing skills required are also very simple.
