So in the face of Taobao’s dazzling array of appliances, what should I buy and what should I buy? Of course, the following choices are all geared towards small family coffee shops or direct family coffee lovers~~
If you want to make a cup of hand brewed coffee, you need at least:
1. A hand pot
2. A filter cup
3 As a consumable filter paper, temperature machine, called
4. Sharing pot
5. Coffee beans and grinder
Part 1. Hand flushing pot
Hand flushing pot is the core of hand flushing appliances. There are many varieties and styles are naturally in line with the individual. The aesthetic is good. I do not recommend the popular Hario VKB because it is not easy to use. Here are a few pots that I suggest to buy at the beginning. The price difference is not big, see one step in place, don't waste money, you know.
Takahiro Shizuku- "Shizuku" (cheat pot)
Takahiro Shizuku, known as the cheat pot , because of its excellent water flow control and impeccable workmanship. If you can only buy a single-function pot, shizuku is the best Choice. The price of more than 500 is a bit expensive, but it is worth it. The 0.9 L specification can also cope with most environments. 18-8 stainless steel material. There are two main disadvantages. One is that the stainless steel top cover will burn to those players who habitually hold the top cover with the other hand, and the other is that the water flow restrictor cannot be installed.
Bonavita temperature-controlled long-mouth suction pot "Kettle"
small-mouth pot (inner diameter above 6mm), representative: Bonavita constant temperature hand pot, Bonavita hand pot. Strix temperature control system imported from the United Kingdom accurately controls the water temperature. The difference between positive and negative temperature is 1 degree Celsius. The professional gooseneck-type fine tip design can more effectively control the water flow speed, flow and direction. The base has the functions of temperature adjustment, heat preservation and memory. has high-quality pot body workmanship, plastic top cover, and can be equipped with a throttle valve. The water flow control is also better than VKB. Nothing more than a pot in hand, a great choice for small cafes.
Kalita Crane-mouth pot
Kalita is an old appliance manufacturer, adhering to the usual characteristics of the Japanese: exquisite workmanship, art-level workmanship, of course, this crane-mouth pot still has a gap with some top products, but if there is no other artwork for personal use Using experience, using it is undoubtedly a kind of enjoyment. The handle is extremely comfortable, the upper and lower handles make the body very stable, and the crane mouth is also an advanced style with more changes and more interesting. The perfect combination of wood and stainless steel. It matches well with our own stainless steel filter bowl. The appearance is different, at least I like it, cool, not bad.
If you are just getting started, if you use a thin-necked pot with a spout inner diameter of 5mm or less, , such as KALITA copper kettle 900, will allow fans to make a good single product in a shorter time, but if it is a general thin-necked pot, Palace pots and sharp-mouthed crane-billed pots, in fact, just a little practice.
KalitaPOT900 copper kettle
thin-mouthed kettle (inner diameter 4~5mm), which represents: KalitaPOT900 copper kettle, due to the thin and long spout, no matter how you shake your hands or no matter how you tilt the kettle, the water flow can be thin and stable; but it also causes When the water volume is increased, the impact force of the water flow is very strong.
enamel porcelain
3. Flat-out wide-mouth spout, representative: enamel porcelain. The advantage of is that the large water column flow is soft, and the thickness of the water flow is more controllable, but it is not easy to control the fine water column. If the tilt range is not well controlled, it will easily make the water flow out..
Kalita wave pot
sharp-nosed crane mouth pot, which represents: Kalita wave pot , spout has a longer extension, which is more convenient for users to observe the outflow point of the water flow, the water flow is soft, and the size of the water column is easier to control.
Taguchi Coffee Master Hand Punch
Wide Mouth Crane-mouthed Pot, Representative: Taguchi Coffee Master Hand Punch . Compared with the appearance of Haomai, the water injection strength of is much softer, and it is suitable for slow penetration brewing method.
Kalita700
elephant-nose pot neck, representative: Kalita700, is characterized by a wide range of water injection, and it can display different levels of water output when brewing different sizes of coffee powder. However, if it is improperly controlled, it is easy to produce the phenomenon of unstable water flow, and the user's brewing skills are also required.
HARIO grenade
hand-made coffee stainless steel drip-type long-nosed slender-mouth pot: the pot body made of pure stainless steel has been polished with a second matte surface, which can avoid minor collisions or small scratches during cleaning. The body and lid are made of stainless steel, and the lid and handle are made of phenol formaldehyde resin. Japan's Hario's hand-punched pot is popular in the world, in addition to its super-excellent workmanship and design, but also because it is an all-round pot with a controllable water flow. Compared with all kinds of divine pots with a diameter of 5mm that can only be brewed with small water flow, Hario's pot can also meet the popular immersion brewing method in Europe and the United States, and it can also be controlled to obtain a small flow of dripping method.
Part 2. Popularization of filter cup
: Hario V60
To be precise, Hario V60 is a series that includes resin, glass and ceramic. V60 caters to many variables in coffee production, mainly in the design of these three points:
1, 60-degree cone: This extends the time for the water to flow through the coffee powder to the center.
2, a large filter hole: This allows us to control the flavor of coffee by changing the flow rate of the water flow.
3. Spiral pattern: This allows air to escape upwards from all sides to maximize the expansion of coffee powder.
filter cup Kalita Kalita
hand-made coffee for 2-4 people household fan-shaped three-hole ceramic filter cup Kalita Kalita is known as the first brand around Japanese coffee. Founded in 1959, it is made of ceramics, copper and stainless steel. The excellent coffee equipment is well received in Japan, Kalita Karita hand-made coffee 2-4 people household fan-shaped three-hole ceramic filter cup, the whole body is made of ceramic material, the ceramic coffee filter cup has stronger heat insulation, uniform enamel, and positive color , The cup shape is a rather retro-style three-hole trapezoid, with a single-sided cup ring and a distinct filtering keel inside the cup. The coffee filtered through this filter cup is mellow and fragrant, suitable for coffee beans with weak sourness and high mellowness.
Kalita Wave 155
Kalitta Wave coffee filters are available in two sizes, 155 and 185. The smaller size 155 is suitable for making a cup of coffee, and the larger size 185 is suitable for 2-4 servings. The KalittaWave coffee filter is available in glass and stainless steel. For the 185, there is also a ceramic.
KalitaWaveDripper is a flat-bottomed filter bowl from Japan. The flat-bottom design can make the extraction more fully. The difference between KalitaWave and the familiar HarioV60 is that the bottom is flat, and the cake cup is hand-punched. Although the aroma and flavor changes are not as strong as the cone-shaped filter cup, the overall flavor of the beans has a solid taste and sweetness. It will perform very well~
Chemex 6-Cup
Classic Series Glass Coffee Maker American coffee filter pot American filter pot, coffee pot and filter cup are integratedSuch. There is a funnel-shaped air channel in the upper part, which can supply air smoothly when extracting coffee. The coffee extracted with the American filter pot can remove excess oil and bitterness. The extracted coffee is very pure, even if it is refrigerated and stored and heated again for drinking, the flavor will not change.
[key home] Conical diamond pattern filter cup
filter cup design: perfect cone, diamond-like texture, large round hole in the center.
Extraction Features: The design of the diamond pattern of the filter cup can make the flow rate more uniform; the design of the large round hole in the center of the filter cup can increase the flow rate and compensate for the unevenness of the extraction to a certain extent. The use of the diamond filter bowl also requires certain brewing skills and stability. If hot water is injected in the same way as the V60, the filtering speed will be different, so the extraction time will also change. The difference in extraction time will result in a different coffee flavor.
KONO
KONO’s coffee filter cups and original wooden handle coffee pots have always enjoyed a high reputation among drip coffee fans. Mr. Kono, the president who designed coffee filters and coffee pots, has studied delicious coffee for many years and designed a series of pastoral Styled KONO coffee filter cup and coffee pot with log handle, KONO is a professional coffee appliance most loved by coffee shops and coffee professionals in Japan, and it is also a product pursued by many fans who like drip coffee.
Carefully observe the ribs of the KONO filter bowl, and you will find that the ribs of KONO do not extend from the bottom to the top end, but stop when it is less than half the height of the filter bowl. This height is designed to ensure that the filter paper can stick to the wall of the filter cup after absorbing water during the dripping process. Once the exhaust space is restricted, the air flow will also be restricted, which will increase the water absorption of the coffee powder particles. time.
Part 3. Bean grinder
In fact, this is the key to the quality of coffee. It's just been underestimated for a long time. Those who are afraid of tiredness are all electric, but considering that some friends may only use about 15 g (one serving) per day, some relatively delicate hand grinders are also very good choices. AKIRA A12, HARIO 1B/2TB, KILITA, PORLEX, etc. are basically available. HERO and TIAMO, please consciously bypass, this is my suggestion. Of course, as a mill recommended by everyone, I also recommend Encore, but it doesn't feel good to use it.
OE Lido
Compared to Porlex, Hario 1B/2TB and other mills, Lido may only be called Big Mac. The price is also very high, but the high quality of the powder is good, as a hand mill, the residual powder is also more serious. For those pursuing higher, but not demanding high output, you can take a look at HG one.
[Japan PROLEX] : Recently, it is more welcome, fine powder is better, ceramic grinding core.
[Helor 101 hand grinder] : Stainless steel spindle, portable, high-precision, all parts can be replaced, the price is higher
Fuji royal R220
is called a small Fuji or a small nurse, because there is a large version , A grinder specially designed for hand punching. The optional machine for coffee shops and friends who drink more coffee every day, the price is 3k-4k. Durable, nothing to say. The processing speed is also very fast. The disadvantage is the inevitable residual powder, every time you prepare 2-3 beans, wash and grind, the effect will be better.
Baratza electric grinder
electric grinder: [Baratza electric grinder] 30 fixed-point grinding scales, each scale can be fine-tuned 9 grinding degrees, almost covering the brewing grinding scale currently used.
Left is [Ghost Tooth Little Pegasus], right is [Round Blade Little Flying Eagle]
Yellow is domestic small Fuji, black is native [Little Fuji Fujiroyal Fuji Electric Grinder R-220 Ghost Tooth] 220VImported from Japan, the domestic Fujitsu is referred to as "Small Steel Cannon" (pictured below). The ghost tooth grinding disc can grind more uniform coffee powder, while producing less fine powder, and the grinding efficiency is higher. The coffee powder particles ground by ghost teeth are relatively round, and the ratio of coarse powder to fine powder is relatively uniform, so the coffee taste is cleaner, the flavor is more three-dimensional and full, but the machine price is higher.
Part 4. Filter paper
Special recommendation: Kono non-bleached coffee filter paper 100 pieces 01 type for 1-2 people, refuse Tiamo, if you want to spend more than 400 ML of water each time to wash the filter paper.
Chemex's filter paper is the most expensive , but has a very strong filterability , you get what you pay for, it can be used repeatedly, if you use it repeatedly for 3 times, the price can be reduced to 50 cents per page, but time to clean is also a problem Oh~ If it is not clean, may also leave the residual taste of the coffee made last time....
Hario-V60 filter paper can be said to be quite satisfactory. is based on its V-shaped filter cup. The original filter paper is definitely the first choice.
filter paper filter paper can absorb the smell and oil of coffee, so the brewed coffee has a bright color and a refreshing taste.
Part 5. Electronic scales
electronic scales are often the most easily overlooked but the simplest, the amount of powder and the amount of water when brewing coffee. There is a certain ratio of water to powder to extract how much coffee you need to grind as many beans as you need.
Intelligent, rich and handsome: Acaia hand-punching scale
is connected with IOS device, Acaia can get your hand-punching water injection curve, so as to guide your water injection process scientifically. It's a bit expensive and worth seeing yourself. If it's just for a drink, it doesn't make much sense. If you want to keep practicing or even become a world champion, it might really work. It’s just a bit expensive (basic version 1k, premium version 2k). If you can’t afford it, Hario’s hand-washing scale VST-2000 is enough. This is the second best thing. Buy Tiamo or even a general kitchen scale. Yes, just control the amount of water injection, it doesn't need to be too real.
[HARIO V60 Electronic Scale]
Part 6, the thermometer
thermometer is used to measure the water temperature, or you can buy a hand-made pot with a thermometer on the lid, because the water temperature is self-evident for your hand. Special recommendation for
:
[Kalita Calita 64225 Thermometer for Drip Coffee Maker] is made of stainless steel, with the pointer disc width 3.5×length 14.7cm, needle length width 4×length 13cm, suitable for hand punching pots and garland cylinders. The

[Dual Channel Thermometer-TASI]
Part 7. sharing pot
sharing pot for coffee, if you drink it alone, you don’t need to share the pot, just place the mug on the drip filter. To extract multiple cups of coffee, it is necessary to share the pot. With the help of the scale display and transparent material of the sharing pot, it is easier to understand and control the extraction process. The sharing pot is not only for dividing cups.
