Manual brewing is now a favorite trend of coffee lovers especially the millennial, the young and the always stylish. But. The trend of coffee is no longer limited to those of younger age, no one suspects when coffee becomes a craze of all ages, coffee is the latest lifestyle.

Enjoying coffee is no longer just a relief from thirst, or a spirited booster in the morning, that's what happens as a daily scene in big cities.

Look at the development of coffee, citing CNN Indonesia, today, Trish Rothgeb, co-founder and roastmaster of Wrecking Ball Coffee Roaster revealed, the development of coffee processing and consumption activities so far can be grouped into three waves.

The Era of the 1800s was born an innovation called instant coffee, but mass production and practicality of presentation in the first wave is considered to have sacrificed the taste quality of the coffee itself.

The new era then developed as an espresso-based coffee era along with the desire of coffee lovers to the origins of coffee they drink, as well as the processing process. Coffee is associated with social life, café outlets begin to reach the big cities, along with the development of Starbucks coffee shop franchise.

Modern coffee continues to grow caffe latte and macchiato with a dose of milk and cream overdone, and emerge a new generation who want to enjoy coffee with the best manufacturing techniques.

They deserve to be called coffee generation with a taste of the original pleasures of a cup of coffee, rather than the comfort and hospitality of a café.

You understand a time that moves dynamically, baristas are required to be able to provide coffee options with a wide range of acidity levels, from each character of a different coffee bean.

They called it third wave of coffee and then came the terms, such as single origin, and also manual brewing.

An interview with a coffee expert, Moelyono Soesilo, manual brewing era distinguishes the results of steeping coffee using a machine with the steeping of human hands.

"Manual brewing is the development of the process of brewing coffee in the era of first wave coffee, the difference with manual brewing, water and coffee immediately separated instantly."

Various manual tools that make it easy for everyone to brew their own coffee, anytime, anywhere, including at home, such as pour over or coffee drip, french press or plunger and of course, syphon.

A barista, Agung Yuwandono does not recommend the use of syphon for beginners or coffee enthusiasts who want to try brewing their own coffee at home.

"To make a kind of arabica coffee with syphon, then we have to be very careful, if the temperature is very hot, then I'm afraid the result will be bitter."

But that does not mean the use of syphon deter them, another option is to use a french press or plunger that is easier for beginners.

Coffee is immediately served, your days can pass well this weekend, you just need watering, then press on the lid, and pour the coffee into the cup.
