How to use a siphon coffee pot

The siphon coffee pot is a relatively common coffee pot and the most commonly used method of brewing coffee. When we usually drink coffee, the simplest is instant coffee, but the quality of the coffee is relatively poor. At this time, you can use a siphon coffee pot to brew coffee. The brewed coffee will have a richer aroma. Let's learn how to use a siphon coffee pot.

How to use a siphon coffee maker

Shake evenly

After pouring coffee powder into the drip pot, since the height is uneven, you need to gently shake the drip funnel with your hands until the surface looks flat. How to determine the amount of coffee powder? To brew a cup of 120-150C.C. coffee, the amount of coffee powder required is about 15g. When using a hand-brewed drip pot to brew coffee, because the space is small, it is recommended to brew two cups at a time, that is, pour in 30g of coffee powder.

Increase density

Knock the funnel filled with coffee powder three times in each of the four directions of east, south, west and north, and knock it five times in the middle to reduce the space between the coffee powder and increase its density. The gaps between the coffee powder are too large, and the water will flow too fast when poured in, making it impossible to extract the coffee evenly.

Spoon flattened

Use a small spoon to press the coffee powder and paper along the corners of the circle until there are no gaps. If the coffee powder is not flattened first, it will be unstable when poured into the water, floating with the water flow, and cannot be evenly extracted.

[Dig a hole in the middle] Dig a hole with a diameter of 3 cm and a depth of 1 cm in the center of the coffee powder.

Pour in hot water

Place the drip funnel on the coffee pot and allow hot water to slowly pour in from the hole in the middle in a spiral and rotating manner. Then wait for 20 seconds to let the aroma of the coffee come out. When pouring water, you need to master the circular motion, alternating from the center to the outside and from the outside to the center, maintaining a spiral water column.

Add water again

Continue to pour in hot water, a total of slightly more than 2 cups of coffee, which is about 1/6 of the depth of the entire drip funnel. The second time, you need to simmer for 30 seconds to fully extract the delicious coffee. The water column must be about 1 cm away from the paper wall and must not hit the paper wall. Because when brewing, the impurities in the coffee will be sifted upwards and attached to the wall. If the water column is too close to the wall, the impurities will be brewed repeatedly, affecting the quality of coffee extraction.

After the stewing is completed, you can pour out the delicious coffee! When brewing and extracting coffee, remember that it is better to discard the coffee powder after brewing 300C.C., because there are too much protein, impurities, oil and caffeine in it, and the quality is poor. It will not taste good if you brew it again.
