Upon closer consideration, the shared teapot held by everyone in the coffee circle is like a public cup when drinking tea. The tea in the teapot is distributed to customers, and the concentration of each cup of tea is the same, representing the balance of tea. The same applies to coffee.
Several years have passed since the introduction of coffee utensils, and hand drawn sharing pots have shown various trends in both brand and appearance. The question that comes with it is: how should we choose between different coffee sharing pots?
In addition to capacity and material, a qualified sharing pot should have a well controlled spout for storing and dispensing coffee liquid, and a clean and efficient water collection. For example, the double-layer glass sharing pot we are going to showcase next.
Is the sharing pot just for pouring water?
The eagle beak mouth of a coffee sharing pot is used to pour coffee liquid, and the most basic requirement is to collect water cleanly and cleanly. However, the eagle beak of a sharing pot still has other functions. When making coffee, the filter cup is often placed on top of the sharing pot, but regardless of the shape of the filter cup, it is necessary to ensure that it is not completely sealed between the filter cup and the sharing pot, otherwise it is easy to cause obstruction during drip filtration. So the presence of the eagle beak on the sharing pot is partly for pouring coffee liquid, and partly for completely sealing the filter cup and sharing pot to affect coffee drip filtration.
Some people who don’t like the sour taste of coffee, besides the citric acid and other fruit acids that come out of the coffee itself, there are also some coffee beans that have gone bad and have almost no other sour taste. That’s why baristas shake the coffee shaker in their hands after brewing coffee to accelerate the softening of the coffee liquid. After brewing, the coffee liquid will rotate around the wavy pot body, accelerating the softening process.
The double-layer coffee sharing pot has a graduated display. In terms of extraction alone, if an electronic scale is not used, the graduated container carries the weighing function. Most sharing pots are made of transparent materials, which provides a more intuitive understanding of the coffee extraction process. The pot body is double insulated, heat-resistant glass, and hand blown. Nowadays, almost all hand washed sharing pots are made of high borosilicate glass material. Compared with ordinary glass pots, high borosilicate glass is more resistant to high temperatures. High quality high borosilicate glass has a uniform thickness and is very transparent. In terms of material, high borosilicate glass material for hand flushing and sharing pots is the preferred choice. Because of its high temperature resistance and relatively high safety factor, it will not explode when exposed to cold water after use, has high light transmittance, and will not have any odor.
Handmade blowing increases the difficulty factor, improves the level of craftsmanship, and provides better insulation. The pot body is stamped with a scale, making it easy to control the amount of coffee used. The glass wave shaped handle design is more suitable for finger grip.
Do we need a lid for the sharing pot?
A sharing pot with a lid, but sometimes when you use a sharing pot for coffee sharing, the lid is actually rarely used. Silicone lid, glass+silicone protective cover, dust-proof and thermal insulation, can be used as a water receiving disc for filter cups. In fact, adding a lid to the sharing pot provides a versatile accessory for this product. Beverages that require filtration before consumption, such as coffee and flower tea. So adding a lid to the sharing pot is to integrate it into more scenes.
After each extraction process, experienced hand drawn baristas will pick up the coffee pot and slowly shake it a few times, allowing the different concentrations of coffee extracted at different time periods to fully blend together. Compared with angular square and circular sharing pots, the shaking process can easily cause the coffee in the pot to splash out and even burn people. Therefore, from a safety perspective, it is best to choose a circular sharing pot when purchasing a hand-held sharing pot. So the lid and body of the glass pot should maintain a certain degree of tightness.
So different cup designs have a certain impact on the sensory tasting experience. Through the transparent cup, you will feel that the bright coffee liquid becomes more beautiful and tempting.
