Professional configuration requirements for coffee sets

Professional configuration requirements for coffee sets

The professional configuration of coffee sets should take into account functional adaptability, operational convenience, material safety and cultural experience. The following clearly defines the configuration standards from four dimensions: core equipment, auxiliary tools, materials and craftsmanship, and scene adaptation:

First, professional configuration of core equipment

Grinding and extraction tools

Bean grinder

Type selection: Match the grinding degree according to the extraction method (for example, medium to fine grinding is required for hand brewing, and extremely fine grinding is needed for espresso). A knife head with adjustable grinding scale should be equipped (for example, a conical knife head is suitable for single-purpose coffee, and a flat knife head is suitable for espresso).

Uniformity requirement: The diameter error of the grinding particles should be controlled within ±5% to avoid bitter taste caused by overly fine powder or insufficient extraction caused by overly coarse powder.

Extraction equipment

Italian coffee machine: It needs to have a stable pressure (9±1 bar) and precise temperature control (90-95℃), and the steam pipe should be adjustable in Angle to adapt to the whipping of milk foam.

Hand rinsing equipment: The filter cup should be selected with an appropriate pore size (for example, the V60 filter cup is suitable for rapid extraction, and the cake cup is suitable for uniform extraction). The hand rinsing kettle should be equipped with a slender spout to control the water flow rate.

French press pot/Mocha pot: It is necessary to ensure good sealing to avoid leakage or insufficient pressure during the extraction process.

Serving and sharing utensils

Coffee cup

Capacity compatibility: For Italian espresso cups, it is recommended to be 60-90ml; for latte cups, 200-300ml; and for hand-brewed cups, 180-250ml.

Material requirements: It should have heat insulation performance (such as double-layer ceramic or bone China). The thickness of the cup wall is recommended to be 2-3mm to balance heat preservation and taste.

Milk tank

The capacity should be suitable for the needs of milk foam (for example, 350ml is recommended for a single serving and 600ml for a double serving), and the spout design should be convenient for latte art (for instance, a pointed-spout milk tank is suitable for fine patterns, and a round-spout milk tank is suitable for basic milk foam).

Second, professional configuration of auxiliary tools

Temperature and measuring tools

Thermometer: It should have a rapid response capability (for example, the response time of a probe-type thermometer should be less than 3 seconds), and the measurement range should cover 0-120℃ to meet different extraction requirements.

Electronic scale: The accuracy should reach 0.1g, the recommended range is 1-2000g, and it should have a peeling function to precisely control the amount of powder and water.

Timer: It should have a segmented timing function to separately record the pre-soaking, extraction and steaming times.

Cleaning and maintenance tools

Backwashing tools: such as blind bowls and cleaning brushes, need to be compatible with the coffee model to thoroughly remove any residue from the brewing head.

Descaling agent: It should be a food-grade formula (such as citrate-based descaling agent). It is recommended to use it once a month to extend the service life of the equipment.

Powder distributor and powder hammer: The powder distributor needs to ensure uniform powder layer (for example, a rotary powder distributor can reduce the channel effect), and the powder hammer needs to be compatible with the handle size (for example, a 58mm handle should be equipped with a 58mm powder hammer).

Third, professional requirements for materials and craftsmanship

Material safety

Food contact grade materials: All utensils must comply with food safety standards (for example, stainless steel should be 304 or 316 grade, and plastic should be PP or PEEK material).

Corrosion resistance: Metal components need to have the ability to resist acid and alkali corrosion (for example, coffee machine boilers should be made of nickel-plated or stainless steel materials).

No odor residue: Rubber and silicone components need to pass odor tests to avoid affecting the flavor of coffee.

Fineness of craftsmanship

Sealing performance: The handle, filter cup and spout of the coffee machine must be free from leakage risks (if the sealing ring needs to be replaced regularly).

Surface treatment: Metalware requires anti-fingerprint coating (such as wire drawing process), and glassware needs to withstand thermal shock (for example, borosilicate glass can withstand a temperature difference of -20℃ to 150℃).

Structural stability: The bracket and base should be designed with anti-slip features (such as silicone pads or weighted chassis) to prevent toppling during operation.

Fourth, professional configuration for scene adaptation

Family scene

Simplified operation: It is recommended to configure a fully automatic coffee machine or capsule coffee machine to reduce manual intervention.

Versatility: Mocha POTS or French press POTS can be added to suit different types of coffee.

Space optimization: Select compact equipment (such as small bean grinders, folding hand washing racks).

Commercial scenario

High efficiency: It is necessary to be equipped with a double-head or multi-head coffee machine (such as one capable of making over 100 cups per hour), and the coffee grinder should have the ability to continuously produce coffee.

Durability: The equipment must pass commercial-grade tests (such as working continuously for 10 hours without failure).

Standardization: Calibration tools (such as powder weight calibration weights, concentration meters) must be provided to ensure product consistency.

Mobile scene

Portability: It is recommended to choose a hand-cranked coffee grinder or a portable coffee machine (such as a Philharmonic or a nano grinding pot).

Impact resistance: The appliances should have shockproof designs (such as reinforced shells and shockproof packaging).

Rapid preparation: The operation process needs to be simplified (such as the design without filter paper and the one-click extraction function).
