Because of its simple operation, the Smart Cup allows every hand brewing beginner to easily get started and brew a good cup of coffee for themselves at home. It is also very convenient to clean after use, making it one of the must-have coffee brewing appliances at home.
Smart Cup Principle
The key to the design of the smart cup is the piston valve at the bottom of the filter cup. After boiling water is poured into the filter cup, the water pressure will automatically seal the piston valve and stop the water, so that the coffee powder can be fully soaked in it.
After the soaking is completed, place the filter cup on the mug of the sharing pot. The bottom plate is pressed to cause the piston valve to open, and the coffee will slowly flow into the cup.
It can be said that it combines the advantages of a French press and a hand-pour filter cup. It can not only provide the French press with a complete immersion environment, retain the coffee oil to make the flavor full and round, but also take into account the filtering function of the hand-pour filter cup, which can completely filter out the coffee grounds to avoid disturbing the taste.
Front Street Smart Cup Brewing Steps
Today, Front Street Coffee will share one of the simplest smart cup brewing methods. First fold the lower ribs and side ribs of the filter paper, then drop the filter paper into the smart cup, then moisten it, and grind the coffee powder before starting to brew the appetizer. The amount of coffee powder should be 15 grams of coffee, and the grinding level should be a medium grinding level similar to that of Pour over(V60) coffee.
Place the filter cup flat on the table, close the piston valve, then pour the coffee powder into the smart cup, inject 30 grams of hot water into the first section, press the timer, and steam for 30 seconds. The water temperature is 90 degrees Celsius. After steaming, add hot water until the total water volume is 225 grams.
Wait for 1 minute and 30 seconds, then place the Smart Cup on the mug or share the pot to open the piston valve. At this time, the coffee liquid begins to filter, and the total extraction time is about 1 minute 50 to 1 minute 55 seconds.
This method combines the characteristics of immersion and filter extraction, and has a high error tolerance. As long as the quality of the coffee beans is not bad, you can brew a delicious cup of Pour over(V60) coffee at home.
