Percolation
Percolation is the process where hot water is poured over the surface of coffee and slowly moves through the coffee layer under the influence of gravity. This method is applied with popular coffee brewing tools that use this method, including the V60 Funnel, Cold Drip Brewer, Phin, Drip Bag, etc.
The infusion method helps extract soluble compounds in coffee with high intensity, creating a cup of coffee with distinct flavor and acidity. Water is evenly poured over the surface of the coffee, maximizing the extraction of these compounds, resulting in a cleaner and fresher taste compared to steeping methods.
This step enhances the extraction of soluble compounds in coffee, creating a sharp, clear flavor, suitable for those who enjoy coffee with mild acidity and distinct taste.
