The extraction of the coffee drink by drip filtration is one of the most used forms of preparation at home and in coffee shops. In order to evaluate the quality and physical-chemical characteristics of the special drip-filtered coffee beverage, ten methods were evaluated, nine manual devices (Chemex, Kalita Wave, V60, W60, cloth bag, 3-hole cone with different filters) and the electric automatic
... [Show full abstract] dripping machine. The same Ensoñación gourmet specialty roasted coffee was used, at similar pour conditions and for a constant ratio of coffee and hot water. Sensory quality, pH, Brix, dissolved solids, temperature of the beverage served, preparation time, and extraction yields were measured. The sensory quality of the Ensoñación drip-filtered specialty coffee beverage was rated as excellent and exceptional, scores from 87 to 91, and was described as sensations of smoothness, intense aroma, caramel sweetness, pleasant citric acidity, delicious flavor, and medium body. to high The pH of this coffee beverage varied from 4.83 to 4.95, the dissolved solids from 1.32 to 2.33%, the extraction yield from 14 to 24%, and the preparation times from 4.3 to 6. .6 minutes. With this project it was shown that there are significant differences in dissolved solids, body, times and extraction yields of beverages prepared with the same coffee by filtration and dripping devices and machines. But, there were no significant differences in sensory quality, temperature of the beverage served, pH, or sensory acidity. With the results obtained from this project, it is possible to choose the filtration method that best suits the tastes of the consumer and with which the best characteristics of the special roasted coffee can be extracted.
