What Should I Pay Attention To When Brewing Coffee With The Filter Paper Drip Method?
Oct 05, 2022
First put the filter paper into the filter cup, then pour the coffee powder into the filter paper, and finally flush the water and it's ok.
The ingredients of the coffee first melt into the water, then pass through the filter paper, pass through the filter cup, and finally reach the sharing cup. This completes the mission of the coffee powder, and finally returns to the trash together with the filter paper.
You must think it is very simple, but in fact it is still difficult to operate. To brew good coffee with stable quality, you need to control some factors and practice repeatedly.
There are several difficulties with this method of brewing:
1. Unable to control extraction time
The reason why it can't be controlled is because extraction and filtration occur at the same time, so it is difficult for us non-professional experience to take care of it.
The extraction time is an important factor in determining the taste of coffee, so this is both the point and the difficulty.
2. The amount of coffee powder and the degree of grinding will affect the extraction time
for example
When the piston type or siphon type increases the number of brewing cups, you only need to double the amount of coffee powder and water to brew coffee with the same taste. However, the filter paper dripping method will not work, because the extraction time will be longer when the hot water is added after the amount of coffee powder is increased.
How should it be done?
In fact, it is still more complicated, to reduce the proportion of coffee powder little by little, or increase the grinding degree of coffee. In order to change the taste, you can use the same quality coffee powder to brew, so that the extraction time changes, and the taste naturally changes. If you don't change the size of the ground coffee particles, you can also change the taste by adjusting the water temperature.
3. The model of the filter bowl affects the extraction time
Because different coffee filters filter at different speeds, coffee filters also have an impact on the taste.
The above are a few points that need to be paid attention to. There is a certain degree of difficulty, but it is not a problem to practice many times.
