When making coffee, you should choose a suitable electric coffee pot according to the coffee demand. Generally speaking, an electric coffee pot with 4 ~ 10 cup (about 600 ~ 1500 ml) is used for daily drinking at home, but if it is used for parties or banquets, it is necessary to choose an electric coffee pot with more than 20 cups (about 3000mL) to supply hot coffee in time.
The following is how to use the general electric coffee pot.
1. Add water
Each electric coffee pot has a rated amount of water, and too much or too little water may cause damage to the electric coffee pot. The rated amount of water added has included the amount of water absorbed by evaporation and coffee, and its labeling is also different. Some water containers have scales on the inner wall, and some can indirectly observe the liquid level in the pot from the joint in the handle. When adding water, the water should not exceed its fixed range.
If you use a leaky electric coffee pot, take out the water pipe and coffee filter before adding water, and use cold water. Because only cold water can ensure that there is enough soaking period in the process of brewing coffee, and the taste will not be too weak.
For the drip electric coffee pot, just open the lid of the water storage tank and inject a proper amount of water.
Vacuum electric coffee pot should first take out the lid, and then pour a proper amount of water. After adding water, the lower shell should be sealed.
Add coffee powder
The electric coffee pot has a special container for coffee powder. Some special containers are themselves a filter, and some containers need additional filter sheets or filter paper. How much coffee powder to put depends on everyone's hobby. Generally, it is appropriate to put 5 ~ 1 0g coffee powder in1glass of water. If the coffee used is large, it is better to put more coffee, but you can make it once before pouring it out.
If you use a leaky electric coffee pot, you should take out the distribution board on the filter before putting coffee powder.
Drip-type electric coffee pot usually has a filter or filter paper attached to the container for putting coffee powder. When putting coffee, in addition to taking out the distribution board, put the filter or filter paper away first. If you use filter paper, you should fold it into a certain shape (such as a cone) and put it in a filter (some manufacturers have made the filter paper into a suitable shape, so it can be spread out when using it), then put it in coffee powder, and then wet the coffee powder and filter paper with a small amount of boiling water.
Adding coffee powder to the vacuum electric coffee pot can be done by opening the lid of the upper pot, but be careful not to spill coffee powder in the water pipe.
open
The electric coffee pot should not be opened until it is ready. These preparations include putting the parts of the electric coffee pot back to the designated position; The sealed-up place shall be closed; Set concentration control switch or high and low heat control switch, etc. When opening, some just need to plug the power plug into the power socket, and some need to toggle the switch on the electric coffee pot, which depends on the different structure of each specific electric coffee pot.
draw
Before bringing out coffee, it is necessary to judge whether the coffee has been brewed and whether it is suitable for drinking. Different electric coffee pots have different instructions and different extraction methods.
For the leaky electric coffee pot, if the non-automatic structure is adopted, when a large amount of steam is discharged from the steam port of the pot cover, it means that the coffee has leaked out, so the power supply should be cut off and ready for drinking. If it is an automatic electric coffee pot, the indicator light is on (the original light is off), which means that the coffee has been brewed and has entered the heat preservation state. At this time, you can extract it immediately, or you can drink it after a while without cutting off the power supply.
For the electric coffee pot with dripping water, when the indicator light goes out, if it is gravity dripping, you can press the switch button to let the water slowly enter the coffee pot through the leaking place, and you can use it at any time without cutting off the power supply. If it is a heat pump dripping type, the leakage can be eliminated at this time. Take coffee out of the coffee bottle and put it on the heat insulation board of the seat frame when you don't drink it for a while.
As for the vacuum electric coffee pot, when the hot water in the upper pot is completely pumped back to the lower pot, the coffee is cooked when the coffee liquid is seen from the transparent lower pot. At this time, unplug the power plug, remove the upper pot and extract coffee from the lower pot. If you don't drink it for a while, you can keep it warm without unplugging the power plug.
wash
No matter what kind of electric coffee pot, it should be cleaned and preserved after each use. The components to be cleaned include water container, coffee powder container, distributor and filter (if filter paper is used, it should be discarded), but when cleaning, be careful not to splash water on the electrical part of the pot holder, and don't immerse the whole electric coffee pot in water to avoid damaging the electrical part and control mechanism.
6. Other uses
Electric coffee pot can be used not only for making coffee, but also for boiling water, tea, cocoa and other drinks, and some can also be used for making soup. But no matter what use it is, you should follow the instructions of the electric coffee pot.
