What are the key points of hand-made coffee pot?

Water flow rate

First of all, we should look at the "water speed" and "water yield" of the hand pot. Everyone is accustomed to different water speed. Some people prefer fast and large amount of water, while others prefer slow flow for fear of overflow. The design of the outlet is the key to affect the speed of water flow, so it is recommended that you judge whether you can master the flow rate and the hand feeling of the water flow. It is recommended that beginners start from the pot with slow flow rate and steady water flow.

Spout

The shape and diameter of the spout will affect the way the water flows, while the strength and speed of the water column will also affect the taste of the coffee. The spout of the overhand flushing pot in the market is mainly divided into thin mouth pot, pointed mouth type crane mouth pot, wide mouth type crane mouth pot, flat wide mouth pot and bigbeak. The "crane mouth" spout has a stable water output and fine water flow, while the "inclined mouth" spout can change the type of water injection according to your feel, so the Angle of water will be different because of the design of the spout, so don't buy the wrong one for beginners! Generally, the drop point and the spout are vertical when the hand flusher is used. It is suggested that you should try to look at it, ask the merchants in detail, and even buy it after the water injection experience.

The material

Hand pot material is basically not different, metal and stainless steel common, but should pay attention to maintenance to avoid rust. Nowadays more and more brands are launching enamel material, compared with the metal more easy to clean and antimicrobial resistance to acid, can retain the original taste of coffee, and thermal effect, can use gas stove or oven heating, and others made with copper casting, you might see when buying bacteriostatic copper Cu + ", "this is the antibacterial material with good effect in the world! When choosing a pot, you can't just make a decision based on aesthetic appearance. You have to consider the material as well.

Heating mode

Not all hand POTS are suitable for gas furnace and induction furnace heating at the same time, it is recommended to know before buying, according to the home habit of heating method to do the selection. Of course, if you can afford to buy an electronically controlled/insulated hand pot, that is very convenient.

Heat preservation

The temperature of the boiling water will cool down at a different speed depending on the amount of time and water. Usually, we want the temperature to keep a stable speed, so that we can use the brewing time and water speed to control the flavor of the coffee, so that the taste of the coffee will be stable (it will not be different for each cup of coffee). Although the pot with small capacity is very light and easy to take, it is quite difficult to handle in the outlet force, and the thermal insulation effect is also poor. Xiaobian generally recommends the use of 600mL-900ml capacity, which is usually well controlled.
