I think it's surprisingly difficult to create a consistent flavor from daily hand drip.
Even if you carefully measure and match the same brand of grind, water temperature, brewing time, and other conditions, you may find that something is too heavy or the texture is slightly different.
Even after carefully arranging the conditions, if there is such a difference, there is a reason to suspect that it may be "fine powder."
In this article, we will introduce some recommended items that are effective as a countermeasure against fine particles.

Fine powder that causes unpleasant taste
Why is the taste not stable in the first place?
I think there are various factors, such as deterioration of coffee beans, extraction methods, and changes in the environment.
Even if we aim to stabilize the taste by aligning the conditions as much as possible, it is still difficult to achieve stability.
In such cases, we should focus on "fine powder."
It is said that fine powder tends to produce negative elements in coffee flavor.
Fine powder is a fine particle, so it has a larger surface area compared to non-fine coffee grounds. Fine powder with a large surface area tends to release more components than necessary. Also, if there is a lot of fine powder, the filter will get clogged with powder, which will slow down the rate at which the hot water drains. By doing so, the flow of hot water becomes stagnant and the extraction efficiency deteriorates, resulting in overextraction, resulting in bitter and harsh coffee.
What's more, fine particles can pass through the filter's openings and become mixed with the extracted liquid, resulting in a grainy texture.
Because coffee is an agricultural product, each coffee bean is not exactly the same size, and depending on the grinder used, the amount of fine powder when ground varies from time to time, resulting in variations in flavor. .

When I was searching for the possibility of achieving stability in taste by controlling such fine powder, I came across a revolutionary item.
That is the ``Powder Control'' of ``Coffee Kogu''.
Fine powder removal item Powder control
``Coffee Kogu'''s ``Powder Control'' is made in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, which is famous for its stainless steel processing technology. Although it has a simple design, it has a sophisticated and beautiful appearance that is of great quality.
It's extremely easy to use.
Just add coffee powder and shake it a few times to remove fine powder.
When you actually use it, you will be surprised at how much finer powder you can get than you expected.
(I had no idea there was so much fine powder...)

Now, just brew your coffee as usual.
It only takes a few dozen seconds, but this small amount of attention has a dramatic effect on the taste.
By removing the fine powder that comes out when coffee beans are ground, you can prevent over-extraction and achieve a flavor with less unpleasant flavors.
By just adding this one effort, you will be able to bring out the original potential of each brand.
Please try using it once. You may get a glimpse of a new world of coffee.
CROWD ROASTER will continue to introduce useful coffee equipment. Please check back regularly!
We hope that your coffee life will be even more fulfilling.
