Dormitory can not use electricity, it is recommended to use electricity directly on the electric mill, the electric mill can ensure uniform speed and rapid grinding, which is in any case can not be done by hand mill. In my personal opinion, the same price is actually more cost-effective than hand mill.
It's really a choice between the smart cup and the French pot.
French press pot directly pass is not considered.
The Smart Cup and the Philharmonic Press both have their advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage of philharmonic pressure is that there is no need to punch the pot by hand, and the fault tolerance rate is very high, as long as the master of the time, it is difficult to do a failure, the extraction is relatively uniform, and the coffee taste is more unique, a little similar to the hand punch and slightly biased Italian feeling, under normal circumstances, the mellow degree is higher than the hand punch, the flavor is lower than the hand punch, about like this.
The coffee flavor made by the smart cup in the way of instructions is actually not philharmonic press or hand rush, it is just convenient, but the smart cup itself can be used as a hand rush cup, and it is still a very excellent hand rush cup, and the fan filter paper is also better to buy, which is equivalent to two kinds of equipment. High playability, but you need to buy a hand pot.
If I do a budget of 700 yuan, and can use an electric mill, I will buy a second-hand 600n bean grinder, a V60, and the rest of the money to buy a hand pot. Or used 600n and Philharmonic press.
I haven't used the Italian hand press, but I have my own Taiaibo semi-automatic. Personally, I advise you to forget about the Italian. Not to mention that it would kill cattle to reach that pressure manually. What do you do with the flour? Light a qualified Italian mill will cost two thousand, Italian hand mill is not much cheaper than this, of course, the advantage is that it can be used as fitness equipment. In addition, the various costs of mixing and honing milk foam latte and so on are also a few hundred smaller, not your several hundred budget can be done.
