Proportion of coffee powder and water 1:12

The standard one cup of siphon kettle is 120ml of water rationed to 10g of powder extraction.

The siphon pot can cook at least 1 cup, but because the amount of water to cook a cup of coffee is too small, at the same time there is water at the bottom of the coffee will be diluted, so we are cooking a cup of coffee, 12g of powder can be, the feeling of light can be 12g of powder ratio 120ml of water.

Coffee powder grinding coarseness

Grinding degree is similar to sugar; medium granularity siphon pot extraction of the best to small eagle mill, for example: scale 3.5; Fuji Ghost tooth mill, for example: scale 3; heroE1 electric grinder Grinding 10 seconds on the good.

The finer the ground coffee powder, the stronger the bitter flavor, the coarser the grind, the weaker the bitter flavor, which is due to the surface area of the coffee powder covered by hot water of different sizes obtained.

Coffee powder and water contact extraction time

Timing standard: when the water and powder contact started timing, when the water stopped and coffee powder contact, timing end (with hourglass or electronic timer)

Most single-origin coffees (light-roasted) extraction is about 50 seconds; (medium-light or medium-dark-roasted) extraction is about 60 seconds.

Stirring Impact (Water Stream)

The purpose of stirring is to allow a short period of time for the coffee powder to spread evenly, so that the coffee powder and water are in full contact and dissolve the tolerable nuisance. Clockwise circle stirring, one is pressure, one is stirring, can let the coffee powder fully dispersed; each time the number of stirring is about 3-5 times, depending on the situation? That is to say, if three times the coffee powder has been dispersed, there is no need to continue stirring.

Stirring is divided into three parts:

The first: when pouring in the ground coffee, the second: halfway through the cooking. The third: is when you turn off the heat and stir again before the end.

Control of the fire (heating source)

If you can adjust the fire size of the gas stove class heating source, when the water boils, you need to adjust the fire to the appropriate size, the fire is too big coffee is easy to scorch off, the fire is too small the temperature is not enough to extract the insufficient, and even the upper ball of the water will flow back to the lower ball, the appropriate . The fire is about the area of the flame touching the lower ball about the size of a dollar coin.

If the apparatus used comes with an alcohol lamp, then it is recommended that the wick is adjusted to the appropriate size at the beginning, continuous heating; heating temperature is constant, the extraction rate is higher.

Light wave oven heating, at first to open to the maximum, the upper pot diagonally inserted into the top; but do not insert it vertically, and so on all the water up to the knob adjusted to a point position, for the extraction of coffee.

When to enter the powder

After all the water in the lower pot has flowed into the upper pot, enter the powder; stirring, timing, extraction (with an hourglass or an electronic timer)

If the water has not yet risen up to the pouring of the powder, this time, the water rises; the lowest layer of the powder has been infiltrated into the hot water and began to extract coffee, while the upper layer of the powder is not yet in the hot water, but the coffee has not yet been extracted, so it is not yet in the hot water. The top layer of coffee has not yet been exposed to the hot water, so there is a difference in extraction time; part of the coffee is under-extracted, while part is over-extracted.

Purpose of wiping the lower ball after turning off the heat

The purpose of cooking more than 2 cups of coffee is to allow the lower ball to lose pressure due to air cooling and contraction, so that the coffee liquid flows quickly from the upper seat to the lower ball inside. In this process, the faster the coffee falls, the better, once the time is stretched, there will be a transition extraction, and bitterness and astringency will be unavoidable.

Tips for pulling up the upper seat

The key three words: push, pull, turn

Hold the handle of the siphon kettle in your left hand and the top of the upper seat of the siphon kettle in your right hand, push it out forward to make the gap between the upper seat and the lower ball appear, and then circle around to the left or the right, and loosen up so you can easily pull it up. (Remember not to pull upward with force)

Is the more rounded the hillock is the more successful it is in making coffee?

I used to think that a mountain package is a good coffee; in fact, it has a lot to do with the mixing, as long as you turn off the fire after the college (clockwise) mixing method. This is not to judge the standard of good or bad coffee, is the mixing method decided. Of course, coffee with a mountain package looks beautiful and you want to drink it!

What is the best way to determine the freshness of the ground coffee when stirring?

When the coffee powder absorbs water, it will produce foam due to the release of carbon dioxide gas, which can tell whether the coffee is fresh or not. If there is little or no foam at the beginning, it means that your coffee may not be fresh after a long time, or the grind is too coarse.

If you find that the foam gets less and less as you stir more and more, you've over-stirred.

Replace and save the siphon pot filter cloth?

The filter cloth is recommended to be replaced with a piece when you use it to make about 30 pots of coffee; usually in a place of business, such as a café, you will choose to soak the filter in water, take the filter out of the water and rinse it with water before you make the coffee, and then use your hands to press the water out of the filter cloth to keep it dry.

As for home use, because the frequency of use is not too high, so the general recommendation is not to put into the water soak, but placed in the upper seat, in the coffee before the brewing of the filter with hot water rinse in the upper seat can be installed.

Points and methods of cleaning the coffee pot

First of all, tap the opening of the glass upper seat with the palm of your hand, so that the coffee grounds are loosened and then poured into the trash can;

Don't be in a hurry to remove the filter first, first rinse with water after the coffee grounds, then remove the filter with your hand to catch it and don't let the filter fall into the sink to touch the coffee grounds? In order not to let the coffee grounds fall into the filter from the opening under the filter.

Rinse the filter with water and gently rub it clean

Hold the tube at the bottom of the upper base with one hand, if the tube cannot be held all the way through, hold the bottom of the tube to prevent it from hitting the sink and breaking during the cleaning process. Brush the glass upper seat with a sponge brush, do not use detergent, rinse with water can be;

The lower part of the glass ball is also rinsed with water, remember to use detergent and loofah, steel wire ball, etc., so as not to scratch the surface.

Rinse the coffee pot immediately after brewing coffee, make this habit not only easy to clean, but also can extend the service life.
