Nowadays, coffee has become a favorite drink of many young people. However, for some people who pursue coffee quality, the coffee in the coffee shop is hard to satisfy them. They prefer to make their own coffee in a coffee pot at home. What are the types of coffee pots?

Features: The operation is relatively simple and convenient. Mocha pot uses the principle of high pressure to extract coffee, so don't be greedy for cheap when buying, so as to avoid danger.
Taste: Coffee tastes mellow and bitter. If it smells burnt, it means the coffee is overcooked.
3, drip coffee pot
Drip coffee machine is a classic drip filter. After the power supply is turned on, the high-heat element in the coffee pot quickly heats a small part of water flowing from the water storage tank to boiling, and the steam pressure pushes the water out of the water delivery pipe in turn, and drops it evenly in the filter containing coffee powder after passing through the distribution plate, and then flows into the coffee bottle, thus becoming the drinking coffee. The insulation board at the bottom of the coffee bottle can keep the coffee at about 75℃.

4. Italian coffee pot
Brewing a perfect Espresso or Cappuccino requires the help of a special coffee machine, and the machine that makes this kind of coffee is italian coffee machine. The espresso coffee pot uses 9 atmospheres and high temperature steam of 90 degrees Celsius to rapidly extract 30 ml of strong coffee liquid from coffee powder in a short time of 24 seconds.
Features: Italian coffee pots can be divided into semi-automatic and fully automatic. Semi-automatic coffee pots need to be ground by themselves and then filled with italian coffee machine, and the quality of coffee made will change depending on the operator. The full-automatic coffee pot is completed automatically from grinding to coffee production. The quality of each cup is relatively balanced, but the taste is slightly inferior to that of semi-automatic italian coffee machine.

5. Siphon coffee pot
Introduction: Syphon, commonly known as "glass ball" or "siphon type", is a simple and easy-to-use coffee brewing method and one of the most popular coffee brewing methods in cafes. Siphon pot has nothing to do with the siphon principle, but uses the principle that water generates steam after heating, which causes thermal expansion and cold contraction. The hot water from the lower sphere is pushed to the upper pot, and the water from the upper pot is sucked back after the lower pot is cooled, thus making a cup of pure coffee.
Features: Suitable for friends who are leisurely at home and have romantic feelings.
Taste: Siphon-brewed coffee is the favorite of many coffee fans. Some people say that because it can extract the most perfect part of coffee, especially the characteristics of coffee beans with that refreshing and bright acid, and the acid has a mellow flavor, siphon cooking can give full play to the characteristics of this coffee.
Different kinds of coffee pots have different tastes and tastes, so it is very important to choose the right coffee pot.
Second, what kind of coffee pot is better to use?
When choosing a coffee pot, we should choose the right coffee pot according to the coffee we want to make. There are three mainstream coffee pots in the market: American, Japanese and Italian, and the coffee pot is usually selected from these three kinds. So which coffee pot is better?
1, American coffee pot
American coffee pot is basically a coffee machine that is brewed by electric power. It is suitable for medium or deep roasted coffee, with slightly fine grinding particles and bitter taste. American coffee pot has heat preservation function, but if the heat preservation time is too long, the coffee will easily turn sour.
2. Japanese coffee pot
Japanese coffee pot has an alcohol lamp with two glass balls on the base. Heat the water in the lower glass ball to generate steam, push the hot water from the lower ball to the upper pot, and suck back the coffee extracted from the upper glass ball after the lower pot cools. Cooking coffee in a Japanese-style coffee pot requires a certain skill. It is necessary to shake the alcohol lamp below by hand to control the temperature, which is suitable for people who have time and leisure.
3. Italian coffee pot
It is a machine that allows steam to quickly pass through coffee powder to extract coffee through high pressure and high temperature. The optimal temperature for brewing coffee is between 90 and 98 degrees, and the temperature control of the Italian coffee pot is quite good. Domestic espresso pots often have a mouth for foaming milk to make cappuccino; In addition, there is often the function of keeping the cup warm. This detail is very important. A cold cup holds coffee, and the taste is poor.
On the whole, these three kinds of coffee pots have their own advantages and disadvantages, so you can choose according to your own preferences.
