How to choose a coffee machine

The coffee pots on the market now are all drip type, which are divided into three types: Japanese style, American style, and Italian style.

Japanese coffee pot, also known as siphon pot, has an alcohol lamp on the base and two glass balls on it.

It heats the water in the lower glass ball, generates water vapor, and pushes the hot water in the lower ball to the upper pot. After the lower pot cools down, it sucks back the coffee extracted from the upper glass ball.

Using a Japanese coffee pot to brew coffee is like doing a chemical experiment.

But firing requires certain skills, and you have to shake the alcohol lamp below with your hands to control the temperature.

Suitable for people who have time and leisure.

Japanese coffee makers require slightly coarser grinding of coffee beans, which is suitable for single-origin coffee with a slightly sour taste.

The American coffee maker is basically a coffee machine that uses electric simmering. It is suitable for medium or dark roasted coffee. The grinding particles are slightly fine and the taste is bitter.

American coffee makers have a heat preservation function, but if the heat preservation time is too long, the coffee will easily become sour.

The espresso coffee maker is a machine that uses high pressure and high temperature to allow steam to quickly pass through the coffee grounds to extract coffee. The optimal temperature for brewing coffee is between 90 degrees and 98 degrees. The espresso coffee pot does a very good job of temperature control.

Household Italian coffee makers often come with a milk-frothing spout for making cappuccino; in addition, they often have the function of warming the cup. This detail is very important. If the cup is cold, the taste of the coffee will be poor.

Japanese coffee pots have different styles, with different high and low capacities, but they have similar functions. When purchasing, just pay attention to the alcohol lamp below matching the top. American coffee pots have different capacities. Generally speaking, large families choose those with a capacity of 6-12 cups.

, small families can choose 2-6 cup capacity.

In addition, there is a function to select thick and light flavors; there are permanent filters and replaceable filters, which can be selected according to different situations.
