Reusable Mesh Coffee Drip Filter

▍ Hmm? Is this the usual coffee? Even though it's the usual beans, it tastes different!

When I have more time at home, I feel like "I want to drink delicious coffee" to take a break. However, it is troublesome to go to buy each time, so I said, "Let's brew coffee by myself.", I prepared the equipment, tried various beans, and before I knew it, my favorite "search for coffee" started. rice field! ..., I think there are quite a few people.

I would like to recommend the "ST Mesh Dripper M" that I would like to introduce to you .

A fine stainless steel mesh filter makes your coffee taste smooth and palatable.

It is such a coffee dripper that you can fully enjoy the original taste of coffee beans .

■ Development background

The Fine Mesh Filter is a 600 mesh high density woven stainless steel coffee filter . The difference from paper is that even the oil content of coffee beans can be extracted. Also, as a metal filter, it has a very fine mesh, so it is possible to suppress fine powder mixed in brewed coffee.

When I brewed it, I noticed that I could enjoy a different taste from the paper filter, with a slight surprise of "What?". Even though it's the usual coffee beans ... (* The effect varies depending on the type of coffee beans and various conditions.)

But it's not all good. Originally it was folded flat like a paper filter, but when opened (because it is made of metal), the fold does not return, and if you try to fix it forcibly, extra wrinkles will increase and it is difficult to use as a filter. It is.

So, thinking, "If you can make this easy to use, you will be happy and surprised.", So I decided to make a dripper and a holder to make this filter easy to use.

As a result of various trials , the fine mesh filter has become much easier to use by separating the dripper and the holder . Folding will be alleviated while there are few wrinkles. We also made it possible to use a paper filter . So you can enjoy both with this one.

I would be happy if everyone could think, "Hmm? Is this the usual coffee bean?" I'm sure the coffee break will be exciting. We hope that "ST Mesh Dripper M" will give you a chance to spend a relaxing and rich time.

▍ The point is a high-density filter with a fine 600 mesh!

"ST Mesh Dripper M" is a dripper that filters with a high-density wire mesh filter of fine 600 mesh knitted with extra-fine stainless steel wire instead of a paper filter . A 600 mesh means that there are 600 meshes in a length of 25.4 mm.

<Reference> A mesh is a unit that expresses the size of the mesh. It represents the number of meshes between a length of 1 inch (25.4 mm). The larger the value, the finer the mesh. By the way, it is about 16 mesh for colanders and screen doors.

▍ Firmly extracts the original oil content of coffee. For a smooth and smooth taste.

Paper filters are literally "made of paper". Paper absorbs liquid. By appropriately absorbing various ingredients of coffee beans at the time of extraction, the coffee has a refreshing taste.

On the other hand, the fine mesh filter of "ST Mesh Dripper M" is made of stainless steel. The filter does not absorb liquid. In other words, all the ingredients extracted from coffee beans can be enjoyed as a taste.

In particular, since it does not absorb "oil = coffee oil (umami component)", it leads to a smooth and smooth taste that is expressed as the original richness and mellowness of coffee.

Is it really oily? We did a comparative test!

Is there really a difference in the amount of oil between coffee brewed with a paper filter and coffee brewed with a fine mesh filter? We asked an inspection agency to measure the amount of fat in coffee brewed with two filters. (The amount of lipid in each coffee was measured and compared by the Soxhlet extraction method.)

As shown in the table, it was found that the amount of fat in coffee brewed with a fine mesh filter is high .

Is it really palatable and smooth?

Is there really a difference in taste between coffee brewed with a paper filter and coffee brewed with a fine mesh filter? We asked an inspection agency to evaluate the taste of coffee brewed with two filters.

<Evaluation method> Use
drip coffee brewed with two types of filters as a sample. The coffee brewed with the paper filter is used as the standard product, and the standard product is set as 3 points, and the coffee brewed with the fine mesh filter is sensually evaluated with 1 to 5 points for each item. The evaluator scores according to individual tastes. The evaluator is not given any information, is evaluated independently, and cannot know the evaluation contents of other evaluators. The container used for tasting was made of pottery, and the one immediately after brewing was provided.

Evaluator's comment (excerpt)

"It tasted much better than the standard and felt smooth. Therefore, the astringency is also suppressed. 』\

"It's easy on the palate and easy to drink even for people who don't like coffee. 』\

"There is no sourness felt as a standard. Very smooth on the palate and easy to drink. 』\

From the evaluation results and the comments of the evaluators, it seems that coffee brewed with a fine mesh filter is smooth and smooth in this test. Also, it seems that one of the reasons is that it has a higher amount of fat than that of a paper filter.

▍ There is little fine powder mixed in the finished coffee.

In addition, the fine mesh filter of "ST Mesh Dripper M" makes it difficult for "fine coffee powder" called "fine powder" to pass through.

Since the amount of "fine powder" that mixes with the finished coffee can be reduced as much as possible , you will hardly feel the texture of the powder when you put it in your mouth, which you may feel when brewing with a metal filter .

▍ A filter that can be used repeatedly does not generate dust.

The fine mesh filter of "ST Mesh Dripper M" is made of stainless steel. Since it can be used repeatedly, it reduces dust without using a paper filter .

▍ Holder and dripper for ease of use.

"ST Mesh Dripper M" comes with a holder and dripper in addition to the fine mesh filter.

When using the fine mesh filter for the first time, it has the same "folding" as the paper filter . In the case of a paper filter, this fold is not so worrisome, but in the case of a fine mesh filter, the material is ultra-fine stainless steel wire, so it is difficult to remove the fold, and if you try to force it off, it will be an extra wrinkle. Or the cone shape of the filter becomes distorted and difficult to use. It will also hurt faster.

* The image filter is intentionally wrinkled for experimentation.

Easy to use fine mesh filter

Therefore, at the beginning of use, set the dripper inside the fine mesh filter and use it while correcting the folds. This will make the fine mesh filter nicely conical and easy to drip.

If you continue to use it while correcting it for a while , the folds will come off naturally , so if that happens, set the outside of the fine mesh filter so that it becomes a dripper and use it as usual .

A few words!
The position of the fine mesh filter does not matter, but it is recommended to set the dripper on the outside for easier use.

The folds of the fine mesh filter cannot be completely removed. Also, by using it, wrinkles will increase little by little. Please note.

Make the fine mesh filter last longer

By setting the dripper on the inside at the beginning of use and then setting the dripper on the outside after a while, it is possible to prevent excessive deformation of the fine mesh filter and reduce unnecessary creases, resulting in careful use. Therefore, it will last a long time.

Made of all 18-8 stainless steel that is resistant to rust and does not crack

The material of "ST Mesh Dripper M" is all 18-8 stainless steel. This metal is often used around water in kitchens and baths.

Since it is often used for spoons and forks, it is resistant to rust and dirt, so it can be used hygienically .

It does not break or chip like pottery or glass, and is more heat resistant than plastic , making it durable.

In fact, you can also use a paper filter

"ST Mesh Dripper M" can also be used with paper filters. To use, just set the paper filter on the dripper. It is the same as how to use a general dripper.

Also, the dripper is made of stainless wire. It has a simple structure that does not control the extraction speed on the instrument side (number and size of holes in the dripper, etc.) such as those made of resin or pottery. As its characteristic, it is said to have a refreshing taste with less miscellaneous taste.

It will be fun to compare the taste of paper filter and metal filter with one "ST mesh dripper M".

▍ Cleaning up may be a little troublesome.

Unfortunately, cleaning up after using the fine mesh filter is a bit tedious. This is, I think that also applies to other metal-made filter in general, to throw away the coffee powder remaining on the filter after the extraction, it does not go to say that, as of paper filter "trash each filter".

You need to scrape out the coffee powder stuck to the filter and throw it away. In the case of a fine mesh filter, cool it to the touch (because it is hot with hot water after extraction), then scoop it with a spoon about the size of a curry spoon and dispose of it as garbage. And, there will be some parts that cannot be scooped up, so please flush with running water.

▍ How to use ST mesh dripper M

<What to prepare>

・ Coffee server

・ My favorite coffee beans (this time ground beans)

・ ST mesh dripper M

・ Measuring spoon for coffee (or digital scale) * A digital scale for kitchen is sufficient even if the scale is not for coffee.

・ Kettle for drip A kettle for narrow-mouthed coffee drip.

Timer timer use and reproducibility will be higher. The coffee scale has a timer function, and you can use a smartphone timer as a substitute. You don't have to force it.

<Let's brew! ＞

Boil water.

Place each part of ST mesh dripper M on the coffee server in the order of holder ⇒ fine mesh filter ⇒ dripper.

If there is a scale, put it on the scale together with the coffee server and set the counter to zero.

Put the coffee powder in the filter. One cup is about 8-12g. Measure with a scale or with a measuring spoon.

If you were using a scale, reset the counter to zero again here.

When the water is boiling, pour it into the drip kettle. Simply transfer the hot water to the drip kettle and the temperature will be just right. If you boil directly in the drip kettle, wait for the boiling water to cool down a little.

Pour hot water for steaming. It is often said that it is about 20 to 30 ml as a guide, but I think it is enough to moisten the whole coffee powder and drop a little coffee on the server.

Wait about 30 seconds to steam the beans here. In the case of fresh beans, it swells and has a nice scent! It's a moment when you feel better! It takes about 30 seconds to be healed by the scent of coffee while watching Mokomoko.

Now, let's pour hot water!

Gently pour in a circle in the middle.

After pouring the desired amount, wait until it runs out. There is also a way to brew by removing the dripper on the way without waiting. The good thing about hand drip is that you can try various things!

When the coffee has run out, remove the ST mesh dripper M from the coffee server and pour the coffee into the cup.

Please enjoy the original taste of coffee beans. Also, it is a pleasure of "ST Mesh Dripper M" to try brewing with a paper filter using the same beans.
