Coffee machine classification:
Automatic coffee machine, semi-automatic coffee machine, classic drip coffee machine, high-pressure steam coffee machine!
1, drip coffee machine: In fact, this kind of coffee machine is a kettle. After boiling the water in the kettle, pour the water into the filter screen filled with coffee bean powder above the kettle, so that the hot water can impact the coffee bean powder to release the fragrant substances of coffee. After the coffee powder is released, it is blocked in the filter screen, and the fragrant coffee is dripped into the pot that just boiled water. The advantage of this kind of coffee machine is that it can brew more than 10 cups at a time to meet the needs of a company or a large family. The most important thing is that its price is usually around 300rmb, which is a product that everyone can afford. Its disadvantage is that the brewing time needs to wait for a few minutes, and the taste is only slightly stronger than that of instant coffee.
2, professional capsule coffee machine: At present, this kind of machine is not very popular in China, but I believe that in the near future, with the prevalence of coffee culture, it will definitely emerge as a new force. The working principle of this kind of coffee machine is to put all kinds of pre-prepared coffee capsules into the coffee machine, so that hot water of about 90 degrees and vapor pressure of about 10bar penetrate through the punctured capsules. Under the action of pressure, the aromatic substances in coffee can be extracted efficiently in a short time, thus obtaining coffee with perfect taste. After brewing, there is a layer of fragrant milky ARABICA foam on the coffee, which has excellent taste. The defect of this kind of machine is that there is no original coffee capsule in China at present, so you need to buy it online or go to a big shopping mall to find it. At present, the most representative brands are Nesspresso of Nestle and Dolice.
Gusto, the difference between the two is that the former can only brew coffee, and needs to prepare latte, cappuccino and other coffee by itself, while the latter provides customers with capsules such as latte, cappuccino and hot chocolate that have been commercially prepared, but the taste is always worse than that prepared by itself.
3 low pressure capsule coffee machine:
Unlike the professional capsule coffee machine, this kind of machine, although its working principle is the same as that of the professional capsule coffee machine, only its pressure index is only about 4 Pa, so its taste is worse than that of the professional coffee capsule machine according to many coffee customers' comments, but its price is about half cheaper than that of the professional capsule coffee machine. At present, the representative brands are
Senseo of Philips and dassimo of Nestle.
4, Italian professional coffee machine:
I want to say, if you are a coffee addict if you can afford it, then such a coffee machine will definitely meet your needs. This kind of coffee machine works in the same way as a capsule coffee machine, but it usually provides more pressure. What I want to say here is that the greater the pressure on the coffee machine, the stronger the fragrance. Usually, the pressure of 19 Pa and a good coffee machine brand mean perfect coffee!
Here is a detailed supplement to the operation mode of this kind of coffee machine. We put coffee powder in a coffee handle with a filter, and then let hot water with pressure run through the coffee powder to get fragrant coffee. Of course, due to the design, there are also some machines with the function of grinding coffee beans. You only need to put coffee beans in the coffee machine and select them through a computer preset program, and you can enjoy fragrant coffee at the touch of a button. The more representative brands are Delong Delongi and Xike Saeco.
To make coffee, you need to buy the right coffee brewing equipment first. Whether you use a filter coffee machine or a filter coffee funnel, a steam straw coffee pot or an extrusion coffee machine, or even the drip method of the so-called traditional food stall, it can be decided according to your personal preference. However, it is best to grind a proper amount of coffee beans into powder before drinking coffee powder. Although it will be a little troublesome, in exchange, you can enjoy a cup of delicious and fragrant instant coffee. Why not?
Then why use coffee beans to freshly grind coffee powder? Because if you buy ground coffee powder in the store, you are afraid that if you buy too much coffee, it will deteriorate gradually. Therefore, it is better to buy coffee beans. As for the method of grinding coffee beans, there are different methods of grinding beans due to the different coffee utensils used, and medium grinding to ultra-fine grinding is usually more suitable.
As for the amount of coffee powder, depending on personal preference, it is usually about 8 to 10 g, and 15 g if coffee tastes strong. If you want to enjoy a good cup of coffee, remember not to spare coffee powder. In addition, the temperature of water is very important to make a delicious cup of coffee. The ideal water temperature is 86℃. In this way, you can make a cup of delicious coffee.
Pay attention to the following points when making coffee:
1. Boiling will make coffee bitter, so never boil coffee. The appropriate brewing temperature should be slightly lower than 96℃.
2. Coffee can't be reheated. When brewing, you should pay attention to boiling only the required amount each time, and it is best to drink it just after cooking.
3. The best drinking temperature of coffee is 85℃.
Water accounts for 98% in a cup of coffee, so it is best to use filtered water to brew coffee, especially chlorine-containing water.
5. Don't reuse coffee grounds, the brewed coffee grounds only leave unpleasant bitterness.
6. Make proper coffee grinding according to the coffee maker used. Too fine grinding will make the coffee bitter, and it is also easier to block the coffee maker. However, too rough grinding will make the coffee tasteless.
7. For the filtering method, the dropping time of properly ground coffee powder should be 2-4 minutes each time.
8. Recommended dosage: 2 tablespoons of coffee powder/6 ounces of water. [eating zone]
