Sister E, who doesn't have a girly heart

Quiet as an icehouse, active as a mad rabbit. He has a genetic passion and fondness for niche things.

Many people would ask, what kind of drinking method can best reflect the original color, aroma and taste of coffee?

My answer is hand brewed coffee . Get up early in the morning, grind coffee beans for one person, boil water at the right temperature, and carefully brew a cup of coffee for yourself. How happy it would be if I could hold a cup of fragrant coffee in my hands every morning.

But everyone who has made hand-brewed coffee knows that although we don’t expect to be as professional as a coffee master, it is not easy to do it well .

It is always easy to cause a "disaster" when you first learn to brew by hand. Even if you think you are as skilled as I am, I often have the urge to smash the cup because of hand shaking in cold weather, slippery hands in hot weather, impatience, etc.

So today I’m going to recommend some good things to the “non-professional” players who are stuck with the full set of hand brewing that can make hand brewing coffee less cumbersome .

Of course, "simple" means "relatively unprofessional". If you have a high level of mental cleanliness when it comes to hand-brewed coffee, please practice well or go to a coffee shop.

Hand brewed coffee equipment

No matter how good a chef is, he or she has to use the knife that is most comfortable for him or her. To make a good cup of hand-brewed coffee, the most important thing is to have a set of tools that suit you.

"Making coffee" can be a private thing. Having a set of tools that best suits you is the dream of everyone who likes hand-brewed coffee .

Japanese Amabro

Regular Handmade Glazed Porcelain Coffee Filter Cup

Amabro is a kitchenware brand from Japan, the country of craftsmen. This glazed coffee filter is handmade by craftsmen, and the groove inside is the glaze line that is not painted during the glaze firing process. If you look closely, you will find that unlike the regular grooves of ordinary coffee filters, the grooves of this filter are divided into two angles .

When we make hand-brewed coffee, it is easy to "brew the coffee powder on one side to the other side" due to poor control of the strength and height of pouring water.

Because the grooves of the coffee filter cup are all in the same direction , leaving no room for buffering, once you accidentally add too much water, it is inevitable that " the waves behind will push the waves in front, and the waves in front will die on the filter paper ."

But if there are two different cutting angles, this situation can be avoided. Especially for beginners, this hand-poured filter cup with two angles can also clearly observe the direction of water flow .

Japan Kinto

Hand pour coffee maker set

Kinto is a famous Japanese brand, and its popularity in the coffee industry is comparable to that of Kris Wu.

Their products focus on humanized design and the beauty of Japanese home furnishings. They are a beautiful sight wherever they are placed. This hand-brewed coffee set consists of a 600ml glass coffee pot , a 304-grade stainless steel metal filter , a filter stand , a bean measuring cup and a 304-grade stainless steel narrow-caliber hand-brewed kettle , which is just a basic set.

The highlight is of course the "304 grade stainless steel metal filter" . Many people worry that the filter is not as good as filter paper. It has to be admitted that the filtering ability of filter paper is certified by chemical experiments, and the filtering ability of the filter is definitely not as good as that of filter paper.

However, filter paper also has its own problems. If the filtering ability is too strong, a lot of coffee oil will remain on the filter paper and in the coffee grounds .

Who doesn’t want a fine-diameter filter that can filter fine coffee powder while retaining the original coffee oil well ?

Another reason why I prefer filters is that they are easy to clean . Every time I clean up after drinking coffee, the filter paper is easy to break and drip, which always leaves leaked coffee and coffee grounds on the table, floor, and sink. But with the filter, you only need to take it out and pour it into the trash can, then sweep it with a coffee brush and it will be very clean~

Portable drip coffee

Origami drip coffee

"Origami" comes from the Japanese word for " origami ". Pack the coffee, fold it up and put it into the packaging belt. The concept of lightness gets rid of the heavy and complicated impression that hand-brewed coffee gives people. In the busy city life, such a "light meal" coffee may also be a good choice.

Because this hand-brewed coffee making method is really simple

In order to let everyone experience the delicious taste of hand-brewed coffee to the greatest extent, rather than exhausting their enthusiasm and patience in the tedious process, I would like to recommend some " little magic tools " to everyone based on my own experience and introductions from friends.

The big process cannot be omitted, and it is also good to simplify the small details ~

Coffee capsules

As the name suggests, "coffee capsules" are ground coffee beans packed into a capsule for one person to use at a time . Unlike instant coffee, coffee capsules do not "dissolve" . If you drink them directly with water, you will only get a whole cup of broken coffee grounds (unless you always have a coffee filter in your drawer).

In addition to being used with capsule coffee machines, coffee capsules can also replace hand-ground coffee powder and be directly placed in a filter (paper) as hand-brewed coffee powder . Coffee capsules are suitable for situations where you don't have a hand-ground coffee machine at home, find it troublesome to grind coffee, suddenly run out of coffee beans, or can't control the amount of coffee beans for a portion.

Coffee brush

When grinding coffee, you will always encounter a situation where the isolation net is stained with coffee powder. The coffee handle of the home automatic coffee machine still has a lot of coffee grounds stuck in the mesh after pouring out the coffee grounds. The capsule fixing slot of the capsule coffee machine always has coffee powder left on it. The metal filter of the hand-brewed coffee, some coffee grounds are stuck in the mesh, and can't be washed out with water...

All of the above problems can be solved perfectly with a simple tool - a coffee brush . You don't have to buy a professional coffee brush or one produced by a special brand (which is expensive but has no advantages). As long as the brush has a round handle with soft bristles, the size is OK, the bristles are soft, hard, coarse and fine, and the quality is OK, it can be used as a coffee brush.

—END—

Coffee, as an imported product, was introduced to Europe through wars by the Ottoman Empire (now Turkey), which once dominated Europe and Asia, and then spread to other countries through immigration expansion and cultural exchanges in European countries. Today, there are different coffee cultures all over the world , but tracing back to the origins, no matter how different the coffee culture is, the way of "drinking coffee" will not change much.

Because everyone who truly loves drinking coffee has a shining little universe !
