The siphon coffee pot always carries a hint of mystery in the impression of most people. In recent years, ground coffee (Italian espresso) has become popular. In contrast, this siphon style coffee pot requires higher technical skills and more complicated procedures, and it is gradually declining in today’s society where every minute and second compete, However, the aroma of coffee that can be brewed from a siphon style coffee pot is incomparable to that of ground coffee brewed by machines.
Most people often have a partial understanding of it, and even have incorrect impressions. There are usually two extreme views: one view is that using a siphon coffee pot is just boiling water and stirring the coffee powder; Another type is that some people are cautious and fearful of it, and the siphon style coffee pot looks very dangerous. In fact, as long as it is improper operation, every coffee brewing method has hidden dangers.
The working principle of a siphon coffee pot is as follows:
The gas in the flask expands when heated, and the boiling water is pushed into the funnel in the upper half. By fully contacting the coffee powder inside, the coffee is extracted. At the end, simply extinguish the fire below. After the fire is extinguished, the newly expanded water vapor will contract when cooled, and the coffee that was originally in the funnel will be sucked into the flask. The residue generated during extraction will be blocked by the filter at the bottom of the funnel.
Using a siphon style coffee pot for brewing has a high stability in taste. As long as the size of the coffee powder particles and the amount of powder are well controlled, attention should be paid to the amount of water and the soaking time (the contact time between the coffee powder and boiling water). The amount of water can be controlled by the water level in the flask, and the timing of turning off the heat can determine the soaking time. Pay attention to the above factors, and brewing is easy. Although this method has a stable taste, the material of the coffee powder should also be considered.
A siphon coffee pot expands water vapor by heating, pushing boiling water into a glass container above for extraction, so the water temperature will continue to rise. When the water temperature is very high. The bitterness of coffee is easy to come out, which can make a hot and bitter cup of coffee. But if the ingredients for coffee powder are not selected properly, no matter how you adjust the size, amount, and soaking time of the coffee powder particles, you cannot make delicious coffee.
The siphon coffee pot has a charm that other coffee utensils do not have, because it has a unique visual effect. It not only has a unique appearance, but also the moment when coffee is sucked into the flask through the filter after turning off the engine, it is unbearable to watch. Recently, it is said that a new method of heating using halogen lamps has been added, which feels like a magnificent performance of lighting. I think this is also another reason why coffee is delicious.
