Full immersion describes the filtering brew methods of coffee whereby the water and coffee are together during the duration of the brew.
Most coffee brewing methods uses full immersion.
The obvious category of brewing that leans away from full immersion is the pour-over method.
When I first discovered coffee accessories hooked up with power from USB ports all those years back, I was amazed.
Yet I had the feeling of “what took you so long” for these types of products to come into the market.
We have all the technology to build such innovative products. And there is a huge demand for hot and cold beverages on-the-go as well.
I’ve always been a coffee person since childhood. I fell in love with it as soon as I got my first taste of caffeine.
These days, I have to consciously stop myself from having more than 5 cups a day.
That’s how much coffee has become part of my daily life.
There was the time when household consumers have a choice of old-fashion coffee makers that are not really up to scratch or espresso machines that costs hundreds of dollars just for an entry level machine.
The pod coffee maker which entered the consumer market less than a decade ago has somewhat bridged a gap between those 2 extremes.
I say this because while coffee pod machines does bring household coffee to another level (towards the better), there is still a huge gap between the quality of the beverage dispensed from one such appliance compared to what you get from a proper cafe.
