How to use a simple coffee pot

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

If you are using a mocha pot for the first time, unscrew the top spout, remove the coffee filter, and check that the filter and rubber band under the upper pot have been installed. Soak the mocha pot in hot water and wash it. Then dry it and pack it as it is. Then we can start making delicious coffee.

1. First pour warm water into the pot, pay special attention to the amount of water in the pot must not exceed the pressure relief valve, this is a safety mechanism to avoid problems caused by excessive pressure, if blocked, it may cause unimaginable consequences. The water level is 0.5 cm below the safety valve. The safety valve will automatically relieve pressure when the lower pot pressure is too high, in order to prevent safety accidents. If the water level is higher than the safety valve, the function of the safety valve can not play normally.

two。 Heat the pot separately but do not put the filter in and do not lock the pot.

3. Grind the coffee beans while you heat the pot. Pour the coffee powder into the filter after grinding. The amount of coffee powder can vary according to your personal preference. Because the capacity of each mocha pot and the coffee container are too small, you need to try several times to find out the amount of coffee powder that suits your taste. If you like it thicker, you can fill the flattened space with a pressure reducing plate when filling the powder, and then gently press it again. According to the taste, it is usually 6 grams per cup of coffee.

4. When the water temperature reaches 95 degrees, put the filter filled with coffee powder into the pot and lock the pot in the shortest possible time.

5. Put the coffee pot on the heating device and steam it over small / medium (fire or heat) for a few minutes. The coffee will slowly spill over to the top, and it will flow out of the tube of the upper pot. When you hear the hissing sound of steam, it means that all the water in the next pot has come up. At this time, you can turn off the fire and complete the brewing process.

6. Remove the coffee pot from the heater immediately and you can enjoy a cup of strong coffee, but it is recommended that the first pot of coffee be poured out.

7. The espresso pot should not recook the coffee, and it is forbidden to put it on the heating device without water.

8. After the coffee is cooled, unscrew the upper pot, remove the funnel and pour out the coffee residue; gently clean the filter of the upper and lower pot and must wipe dry. Can not use sandy soda water cleaning, this will damage the bright surface, after a long time, the bottom will inevitably change color, that is because of hard water, water mixed with vinegar can be removed.
