Recently fall in love with the mocha pot, especially in the morning to have a thick mocha pot, very suitable for the busy day that needs to go to work immediately, a secret weapon to help you wake up quickly. Coffee brewed from a mocha pot is espresso rather than hand-brewed coffee or siphon coffee. You can choose to drink it directly with an espresso shot, or you can enjoy it slowly with milk.

The basic structure of mocha pot is as follows: upper pot, lower pot, filter, coffee powder trough. Many friends will come to the store to ask whether the mocha pot needs hot or cold water. The way of brewing in the shop is cold water, and hot water is also feasible, but friends who use hot water should pay attention to the safety when the lower pot begins to get heated by adding hot water (or when it is heated just after brewing). Otherwise, it is easy to cause accidents. In addition, when we lock up the upper and lower pots, the coffee powder layer locked in will be boiled by hot water first, of course, under such circumstances. It will cause the aroma of coffee to lose a lot. However, whether using cold water or hot water, the common point is that when adding water, do not exceed the lower edge of the pressure relief valve, which is very important!

In addition, the extra yards here will teach you more tips for brewing mocha pots:

Water quality is the most important thing! If the water filtered by the water purifier is the best, but the amount of water must not exceed the level of the lower edge of the safety valve, otherwise the hot water will be ejected into hot water steam after heating, causing danger.

Put the coffee powder into the coffee powder trough, scrape the coffee powder higher than the edge with a spoon, and then gently press the coffee powder with a powder press. Pay attention to no excess coffee powder left around the coffee powder trough, which can prolong the life of the mocha pot.

When cooking the mocha pot with gas, the source of fire should not exceed the diameter of the lower pot, and open the lid of the upper pot (this is really too important to open the lid of the upper pot to boil the thick grease on the coffee pot). When the coffee liquid is filtered out, turn it down and turn off the heat when the coffee reaches the edge of the upper pot.

The above is the brewing method of the mocha pot. After reading it, don't forget to take the above notes and start brewing a cup of thick mocha pot coffee.
