Types of coffee and unique brewing methods

Coffee is a beverage that is widely enjoyed around the world, with a wide variety of different types and unique preparation methods. In this article, we will explore several common types of coffee and their unique preparation methods.

Next, a switch is turned on to melt the coffee powder pre-added to the bottom container after a pre-heated and boiling water is filled to the correct temperature (usually 90-95°C). Then, high-pressure water vapor is manually or automatically controlled to enter the bottom container, mixing the hot water with the coffee powder and filtering it out through the filter.
