The brewing method can make a lot of difference in coffee flavors, characteristics acidity, and caffeine levels. So, the right brewing methods can vary from person to person depending on the preference of each person. Throughout history, people have created devices and brewing methods to enjoy coffee fully. Let’s explore some of them in this blog with Baboon.
V60
V60 is a pour-over brewing method that uses the paper filter in the cone-shaped dripper to extract coffee oils. This method gives a high level of control over the brewing process. You can adjust the different flavor profiles of the coffee beans by adjusting the pour speed and grind size. The textured interior in a V-shaped cone helps with air circulation, giving even extraction of coffee beans.
With this method, you can get many high-quality coffee extractions. You can highlight the acidity and clarity or focus on the body and depth of flavors. It is easier to learn but hard to master to create a coffee with delicious flavor artistically. The V60 brewing method is the right option for people who enjoy single-origin coffee beans that have clarity, acidity, and fruit notes.
Siphon
The siphon brewing method uses the power of vacuum filtration to let hot water pass through ground coffee. On siphon brewing devices, there are two chambers upper and lower. When the lower chamber is heated, the water vaporizes, resulting in a vacuum in the upper chamber, so the water rises to the upper chamber. After adding coffee grounds to the upper chamber and stirring it evenly, remove the Siphon from the heat sources. In this way, the lower chamber cools down, letting the coffee flow from the upper to the lower chamber through the filter.
It produces a clean, flavourful cup of coffee with minimal sediments. As a result, You will get a coffee with a well-balanced taste and texture due to its unique filtration process. People who want lesser acidity in their coffee will love this brewing method as it can reduce the coffee’s acidity. These brewing methods require technical skills and attention to detail. However, if the barista is skillful in this method, it can create an exceptional coffee with a rich aroma.
Paragon
The paragon brewing method uses special chilling methods that cool down the coffee beans immediately after brewing. Paragon brewing devices have unique features and scientific methods behind them. In short, we smell the fresh aroma of coffee in the atmosphere when brewing coffee. This is because the natural volatile organic compound in coffee beans escapes to the air when the hot coffee is passed through the cold air and spreads to the room.
The escapes of these compounds reduce the taste and aroma of the coffee, limiting us from enjoying the full flavor of the coffee. To solve this problem, this device uses a chilling rock under a coffee cone to cool down the coffee immediately after the extraction. This prevents the coffee’s natural compound escape through the air. In this way, you can enjoy the full flavor of the coffee. This method is a much-choice option for those who want to try the full flavor of the coffee.
Aeropress
Aeropress is another outstanding coffee brewing method that stands out for its versatility. This makes the coffee brewing methods quick, yet packed with flavors and aroma. This method is user-friendly and easy to brew, however, like any other brewing method, the coffee flavors and texture will vary depending on the basic fundamentals such as water temperature, amount of water, coffee grind sizes, and so on.
How slow or fast the pressure you apply to Aeropress also makes a difference in the coffee texture. In this way, you can modify your preferred coffee flavors based on your coffee beans. This method also creates a clean and smooth taste. This process of extraction helps to remove sour carbon dioxide from the brew.
Overall, each brewing method has its unique methods and advantages.
