Hey guys, Candice from Crema Coffee Garage
here. Today we're going to be taking a
closer look at another one of the
awesome alternate brewing products that
we sell here at Crema Coffee Garage. This
is the Delter Coffee Press.
The Delter Coffee Press is a relatively
new product to the market and has been
closely compared to the ever-popular
Aeropress. So naturally we've got a lot
of messages and requests asking us to
check it out. So let's start by looking
at the design. Not too dissimilar from an
Aeropress, on the top here it does have
one unique feature that's different. This
is a rubber stopper, which I believe is
intentional to measure out your coffee
grounds but it's only a 6 gram measure.
So today we're gonna be using 12 grams,
which is a double use, which it
does come in handy but we're gonna do it
a different way today. Like the Aero-
press you have your top plunger piston.
You also have the brewing chamber and
then you've got the filter basket, the
plastic filter basket that goes on the
bottom but then there's also the spot
for the paper filter. Now, where it does
differ from the Aeropress however is
this seal that's on the bottom of the
Delter. Now, this seal covers the whole
bottom of the brewing chamber and has
these little jet like sealed holes, which
almost creates something very similar to
a shower screen that would be used when
extracting espresso. So let's jump into
expressing our filter coffee. So first
and foremost we're going to want to
place our filter basket on top of our
glass or our server of choice. You can
use just a plain latte glass like I'm
using or you can use one of Hario's
servers or your mug at home, whatever you
choose. Inside the plastic filter basket
you'll see the paper filter. Firstly
we're going to use our pre-boiled water
from our kettle and we're going to soak
the paper filter. There's a couple of
reasons why we do this. Firstly it
enables the paper filter to stick to the
plastic filter. It then also enables any
residual paper fibers that are left on
the paper filter to wash through into
the cup below and then finally that
water that does pass through into the
cup, that allows the cup to heat up and
therefore later on when we are
extracting, we're not extracting hot
coffee into a cold cup.
Then we're going to set that one aside.
Next we're going to want our plunger to
be placed inside the brewing chamber and
I'm gonna do that upside down because we
need it up this way to pop the coffee in
next. Now ground coffee, so when you buy
the Delter Coffee Press it specifies that
you will need 12 grams of ground coffee
however I couldn't actually find where
it specified what coarseness you'll need.
So here at Crema we recommend that you
use a medium coarseness grind, which is
what we would use for a narrow press and
this is just a step up from the espresso
grind. So you're gonna want to pour your
ground coffee into the top of the
brewing chamber like so and of course as
freshly ground coffee as you can get, it
does make all the difference.
Next we want to just want to give that
one a little bit of a shake, we want to
level it out so the coffee grounds are
nice and even on the top, and therefore
when it extracts it will be an even
extraction. Next you're going to want to
take your plastic filter just give that
a bit of a shake, just in case there's
any residual hot water there and then
you're going to pop it back on top of
the brewing chamber and make sure you
screw that on nice and tight. We don't
want any water escaping and then that
little bit of residual water that you've
got there heating up your cup, you're
just going to want to pour that out. So
then we're going to flip this one upside
down, back on top of our glass like so,
and now we're ready for the water. I'm
using the Brewista Temperature
Controlled Kettle. These are amazing for
so many reasons. It can set the
temperature of your water to any degrees
Celsius that you choose and then it can
hold it there. If you have your water too
hot, you can be at risk of burning the
coffee and that's gonna really play
effect when it comes to the end result.
So I've set this water here for 92
degrees. This is about the perfect
brewing temperature. If you don't have a
temperature control kettle at home, one
with the control spout as well is
fantastic. Of course you can hop on over
to cremacoffeegarage.com.au and
shop our marvelous selection. There's
some really pretty looking kettles there.
However in a pinch you can use your
regular kettle at home, just simply
bring it up to boiling point and then
set it aside for about five minutes and
then that way it'll slowly drop the
temperature to a really good brewing
temperature. We're gonna pour up to the
200ml line and actually says fill next to
it,
Delter have made it really easy. You'll
notice that at no point do we have to
weigh the water going in, which is super
helpful. The only point that you will want to
weigh something is your coffee at the
start. Lastly this little guy that we
were talking about earlier, the black,
silicon little rubber topper, that was
the scoop for the coffee grounds. Two fold,
it sits on top. Now this is really
important and you don't think of it
until you're actually physically doing
it and you're plunging down. Hot steam
coming up on your palm is the last thing
that you want. So firstly you're going to
want to pull it up, until it reaches the
50 ml mark. So you'll see as I drew the
plunger up it released water into the
bottom chamber. Now you're going to
slowly press that down. Now the reason
that we've done this, is we're creating
what's called a pre-infusion and this
means that that first 50 mils of water
is going to evenly coat the ground
coffee, and then that will then cause us
to have a more even extraction when we
push the remainder of the water through
the coffee. So lastly we're gonna pull the
plunger all the way up, so that now all
of our water here is below the plunger.
So now that's all the way up, we're gonna
push the remaining water down into the
glass
and I recommend not being too forceful
with it. Just kind of work with the
natural resistance of the Delter. Now the
coffee I'm using today is Crema's own
'Altitude' blend. So it's got those really
beautiful chocolatey, nutty flavors. It's
not overly strong and it works perfect
in these filter brews style. Now
that we've pushed all the water
through, don't be tempted to do what you
would normally do with an Aeropress, if
you're familiar and that is to flick it
back up the other way around.
If you do so with the Delter, any residual
hot water that's sitting down here at
the bottom will flick and run down your
arm and we don't want you burning
yourself. So you simply need to just pick
it up and pop it off to the side. That's
it guys! Quite a simple process and
you're left with a really delicious
alternate brew coffee, filter coffee in
your own home. The Delter is travel
friendly, it's super lightweight and
really easy to clean. You simply need to
pull it back apart the way you put it
together, empty those coffee grounds and
then you just rinse it with some hot
water. Feel free to leave a comment below
