Take a sip and stir! The right way to drink mocha Coffee

"BRIKKA" is a mocha pot designed and produced by the Italian company BIALETTI. The old star anise kettle is shaped (in the early days, it was believed that the firepower of the star anise pot is concentrated), and the body is made of aluminum, which is softer and easier to shape (it is said that it can retain the original flavor of coffee). The shape of BIALETTI mocha pots hasn't changed much in more than 30 years, but opening the lid of BRIKKA reveals the secret of the pot that coffee players love-the "condensing valve".

The stainless steel gravity device "condensing valve" is located directly above the coffee flow outlet, which can gather the steam pressure in the BRIKKA pot and accumulate to the most appropriate extraction pressure before allowing the hot water to pass through the coffee powder and quench the essence of the coffee bean. The improved design of the "pressure valve" makes the BRIKKA claim to be the only mocha pot in the world that can boil brown crema (the greasy foam on the surface of coffee).

Although the pressure in the BRIKKA pot can boil out the precious crema, it is very stressful and is the most difficult mocha pot in the world to lock, especially this one for four people. The new BRIKKA powder trough was modified in 2002, the original aluminum was changed to stainless steel, the caliber was also reduced, a rubber washer was added under the powder trough, and the shape of the joint of the lower pot was also modified to increase the circular groove close with the rubber gasket to make the overall structure more watertight. This precision has exceeded that of the traditional mocha pot.

BRIKKA should be used carefully.

1. The new BRIKKA rubber parts have been coated with a little protective grease. In order to prevent the taste of the grease from affecting the flavor of the coffee, clean it before using it for the first time. But first

Try to cook two or three times to clean and remove impurities and odors.

two。 Use the complimentary plastic measuring cup to measure the right amount of water and pour it into the BRIKKA kettle. If you like to drink stronger Esprsso, you can reduce the amount of water moderately, and the amount of water in the next pot should not be exceeded.

Pass the height of the safety relief valve. (otherwise, when the pressure is too high, it is not steam but boiling water, which is easy to cause danger.)

3. After the powder trough is inserted into the lower seat, fill the coffee powder tank with a small spoon with fresh moderately ground coffee powder without pressure. Gently shake the seat with your hands to reduce the gap between coffee powder and make it dense.

The degree is the same.

4. After loading the powder, carefully and completely wipe the powder off the edge of the powder trough with your hands (not even with a grain of coffee grounds), and then try to tighten it. (do not pull upper seat handle and lower seat pressure relief valve)

5. The brand new mocha pot, or the mocha kettle that has not been used for a long time, the joint of the upper and lower pots is easy to leak, so you can soak the rubber gasket in hot water before using it to soften the rubber gasket and make it easier to operate.

Do.

6. When we generally think that it is locked, only the gasket and the metal part are stuck, because the rubber washer of the mocha pot is hard, so we will mistakenly think it is already tight, in fact, at this time

It's not sealed. Girls are weak, can have a rest, wait for their hands to regain strength, and then turn forward a little bit, to feel the feeling of rubbing and sliding between rubber and metal

Feel ".

7. In addition to mountain camping with portable small gas stove, buy a small grid, BRIKKA can also use the kitchen gas stove small fire, much more convenient, but the flame does not exceed the bottom of the pot.

8. If you want to observe the brewing process and open the top cover, please keep your distance. If you put too much water in the lower pot, opening the top cover may cause the coffee to spray out.

9. After cooking, after completely cooling, separate the upper and lower pots and wash them, it will be easy to turn.

10. After each use, the mocha pot should be cleaned carefully. The residual coffee oil and coffee grounds will affect the flavor of the next coffee. The "pressure valve" can be lifted and rotated.

After cleaning and drying, put it back and rotate it to the end, and then turn it back to 1.5 LMUR 2 times, that is, the standard position.
