Homemade black coffee

For ordinary people, it is enough to use a filter, siphon or electric coffee pot to brew coffee powder directly.

☀ Filter coffee makers are cheaper but require higher skills.

☀ The coffee brewed by the siphon coffee maker tastes the best and does not require any skills, but it is more expensive;

☀ Electric coffee makers are more convenient and their prices are comparable to those of siphon coffee makers, but the coffee they brew tastes slightly inferior, making them more suitable for busy young people.

☀ I am the laziest person, so I usually don’t use a coffee pot to make coffee. I just buy a pack of drip coffee and directly rinse it with hot water in several times, and that’s it.
