山羊故事Gina Smart Brewer评论

吉娜（Gina）首先引起了世界各地的咖啡爱好者的注意，当时山羊故事开展了Kickstarter运动。手动咖啡机上的综合技术以及三种不同的酿造方法的报价在社区中引起了波浪。像每个人一样，我们想知道这是一种严肃的酿造设备还是新颖的价值。让我们找出答案。

该公司还提供吉娜的基本外观s much the same but doesn’t feature a scale. This review only covers the smart model.

Aesthetic appeal – 5/5

我们看到了一些好pour over brewer standsbefore, but this has a minimalist, elegant look we can’t help but love. Even before we knew what Gina was, we wanted it in our kitchen. The beauty here isn’t just skin deep either.

The Gina coffee maker comes in black, white, or steel colorways so that you can find the perfect look for your kitchen. There’s no plastic in sight, with a ceramic funnel at the top that drips into a borosilicate glass pitcher. The brewer is held together with a quality steel frame with a copper valve to adjust the water flow.

易用性 - 4/5

尽管有“聪明”的名字，但这仍然是手动咖啡酿造。这里的技术不会造成咖啡，但旨在指导您完成整个过程并帮助您钉上技术。

Through the menu on the Gina app, you can select your brewing method and desired coffee to water ratio. The built-in scale communicates directly with your phone to measure as you pour, displaying your current yield against the app’s timer to help you stay on track for your recipe.

Some of the concepts might be tricky for complete newbies to get their heads around. Also, experienced brewers may find the app a little limiting. But if you have used a pour-over before and want to perfect your technique or experiment with different recipes, Gina app will be a useful tool.

完成酿造后，您可以通过应用程序在线与其他用户分享食谱和咖啡的形象。

The biggest downside to Gina’s setup is that there’s no display on the Bluetooth-connected scale.This means you’re forced to use the app every time you brew.

酿造控制 - 5/5

Versatility with your coffee is one of Gina’s biggest selling points. It all comes down to the unique copper valve that controls the water flow from the funnel. With the valve fully open, Gina is designed to work like any other倒咖啡酿酒师。但是，我们喜欢的是，您可以在第一次倒入期间关闭阀门，以消除滴水，使您完全控制绽放时间（1).

With the valve closed, you can perform immersion brewing by adding coffee grounds and hot water to the funnel. But don’t expect it to turn out exactly as it would with a French press. For this method, you’ll still need to use a paper filter. The filter will clean up natural oils that give the French press its signature rich mouthfeel (2).

To make cold brew coffee, you’re provided with an extra bit of kit. There’s a small glass chamber that sits inside the pitcher to hold the ground coffee. Here the valve becomes the most important feature for brewing, as it can be adjusted to provide the precise drip rate for your coffee recipe (3).

可移植性 - 3/5

如果您正在寻找旅行酿酒师，那不是。吉娜咖啡机不仅很大。它也很笨拙，有些脆弱。

The ceramic funnel and steel frame are sturdy, but the glass flask is designed to deal with heat stress rather than a drop to the floor (4).

Value for money – 4/5

准备一些价格冲击。山羊故事吉娜咖啡机比那里的任何其他倾倒酿酒师都要昂贵，甚至比最大的价格最高Chemex coffee maker。

However, before you write this off as complete extravagance, consider the features you’re getting for the price. Digital scales might be cheap, but a Bluetooth scale is not. And while you can get an entry-level cold drip brewer, these coffee makers can often pass the hundred-dollar mark.

Do Not Buy If…

您预算有限: The Goat Story Gina coffee maker does offer a lot, but you can certainly get cheaper options. If money is an issue, opt for a classic pour over like theHario V60and save the extra cash to put towards a good grinder.

您只想倒咖啡: Part of the value of this coffee maker is that it offers three different brewing methods. If pour over is your only plan, skip Gina for a dedicated brewer. The蜜蜂滴头has a unique shape that makes it as easy to use as it is stylish.

您不想使用应用程序：智能秤上没有显示的事实意味着您被迫连接到该应用程序。如果您不想在清晨粘在设备上，请给自己定期的数字规模和像The The Harual Brewer卡利塔波。

判决

不可否认；这是一个昂贵的套件。但是吉娜（Gina）也很难抗拒。

If you want to mix up your coffee brewing without buying extra gear, and you want to be guided through the pour-over process each time. Or, if you can’t pass a work of art, the Goat Story Gina smart coffee brewer would make a lovely addition to your kitchen.
