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

In fact, both the bodum brand and the mocha pot are the old faces of the coffee industry. Bodum, founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, takes Nordic aesthetics as the starting point, has designed many classic coffee equipment, and is the winner of the German Red Dot Design Award (Red Dot Design Awards) and the iF Design Award (iF Product Design Awards). If you love coffee, you should have more or less heard the name of his French filter pot (French Press coffee maker), while the mocha pot is a necessary coffee equipment for many Italian families. This kind of coffee pot that uses steam principle to extract coffee liquid is not only light in size, easy to operate, but also can make a good Espresso in a short time, and has always had a group of fixed supporters.

So in a way, bodum CHAMBORD mocha pot can also be called a combination of classics x classics.

On the eve of one weekend, the courier delivered the package we were thinking about, and the shiny bodum CHAMBORD mocha kettle was officially unsealed-this time the mocha kettle was made entirely of stainless steel except for the handle (after all, if you use stainless steel bodum, you may not be able to cover the medical expenses for burns), it is a guy with smooth lines, simple shape and bright enough to act as a mirror. The volume part is a little smaller than the average household kettle, in addition to taking out the door, the small suite with limited space should also be suitable.

After disassembly, we can see that the composition of the mocha pot is very simple, mainly three parts: 11.gif. The top pot of coffee is 22.gif. Coffee funnel with coffee powder 33.gif. A kettle for water. Let's just say this part scores again. I'm really afraid of those parts and a pile of holes. It's better to simply wash something that needs to be washed for a long time at a time. Even better, the manual says that he can throw away the dishwasher in addition to hand washing. The gospel of the lazy at all, as long as it is washed and dried and then assembled back, it will immediately go home to decorate China and the United States and the United States.

If the coffee funnel is clogged with coffee powder, you can poke it with a fine needle and clean it right away. (and poking this thing is unexpectedly very comfortable.)

Unfortunately, although we can't wait to experience the feeling of drinking coffee in the wilderness, we really don't have any plans for a trip recently, so it's hard to take it and alcohol lamps to Da'an Forest Park for a picnic, right? In addition, this is actually the first time for us to operate the mocha pot. In order to prevent me from burning the kettle and feeling that we should experience the feeling of going out with the CHAMBORD mocha pot in advance, we had to shamelessly go to 220513472_30*30.png, a professional college friend and couple who was going to run a restaurant full of research on coffee / wine / dessert. (after all, it all has to be rehearsed, and of course it has to be realistic.)

After the first round of professional master implementation, very good, the use of mocha pot is easier than I thought, three steps and three minutes to enjoy Espresso is really no exaggeration, here to share with you our brewing steps and this try three kinds of coffee methods.

Tip: although the procedure for using the mocha pot is very simple, don't underestimate it. If you really want to be serious, just the beans used, the degree of coffee powder filled, the initial water temperature of the pot, the firepower, the time to leave the stove. I heard that it will affect the taste of the brewed coffee, so if you really study it, you may be able to write a paper for it. )! However, since we simply want to drink good coffee during the journey, we do not want to delve into the coffee mini-universe, so we will not say much here.

Brewing steps of mocha kettle

Before we begin, let's briefly summarize: ❝preparation ⇢ 1. Pour cold water into the pot, do not exceed the height of the safety valve ⇢ 2. Fill it with coffee powder ⇢ 3. Rotate and buckle the upper and lower pot, put it on the stove and heat it over low heat until the freshly brewed espresso is spilled into the pot of ⇢ to enjoy the espresso ❞. After having the above concept, let's officially begin (roll up the sleeves)

Step0 material preparation

Before you officially begin, you have to take apart the three parts of the mocha pot, and then prepare the water and your favorite coffee powder. In this way, instant preparation is completed, completely brain-free (after all, if you need too many peripheral props, the pot is no use no matter how light it is! )

Step1 poured cold water into the kettle

After preparing the material, you must first inject water into the lower layer of the mocha pot, which is basically not a brain-intensive step. The only thing to be careful is that the water level does not exceed the upper limit (there is a line marked MAX in the pot) so that the pressure relief valve can function properly.

Tip: the temperature of the water filled in the pot will affect the taste of the final brewed coffee. At present, cold water is officially recommended, but in reality, it seems that both cold and hot water have their own supporters. It should be noted that if you choose to fill the coffee pot with hot water, you must pay attention to "heat insulation" when assembling the coffee pot, so that the coffee will not be cooked and your hands will be scalded first.

Step2 put coffee powder into the coffee funnel

Change the coffee powder after filling the water, but you can put the coffee funnel back into the next pot before filling it, so you don't have to spend an extra hand holding it. After putting it, fill the coffee powder into the coffee funnel and put it in a position almost flush with the upper edge. After filling, tap 1 / 2, and then smooth the coffee powder with your hand or spoon. To ensure the coffee taste, remember not to press the coffee powder to a dense density. Finally, simply wipe off the coffee powder adhered to the outside of the mocha pot to avoid burning later, and this step is done.

Tip 1: some coffee powders are officially recommended to use moderately ground coffee powder. If you can't grind beans at home, you can tell the clerk directly to use the mocha pot when you buy coffee powder, and the clerk will usually help you with it.

Tip 2: the amount of coffee powder in the mocha pot is basically fixed, but it has to fill the whole coffee funnel. Because if it is only half filled or there is too much space, the coffee powder can easily be washed around when the water rushes up, affecting the taste of the cooking. (if you want to reduce the quantity, you may have to buy another suitable reduction tablet. )

Tip 3: if you press the coffee powder too tightly, the water will encounter a lot of obstacles when it passes. In the absence of technology, the water is likely to pass through some of the least tight places rather than evenly through the coffee trough, where most coffee powder is likely not to touch the water. this in turn causes the brewed coffee to become clear-light-such as-water. So remember that just tap 1murmur2 slightly to make sure the coffee powder is evenly filled, and don't press the coffee powder tightly!

Step3 upper and lower pots are rotated and fastened, put on the stove and heated over low heat

When the water and coffee powder are loaded, just take the lower seat in one hand, screw them tightly in the upper seat in the other and put them on the stove! Remember not to turn the handle, or it will break and no one can save you.

Soon after you put it on the oven, you can see the coffee coming out slowly! It is said that this is because the mocha pot uses the steam principle, when the lower layer of water rolls to produce a certain vapor pressure, it will push the hot water upward through the coffee powder, and then quickly extract the coffee essence and inject it into the upper pot. The coffee brewed in this way can not only see the thin coffee oil (Crema), but also preserve and show the characteristics and quality of the coffee beans in taste.

When you hear the purr, it means that the extraction is almost done. when you make sure that the water in the next pot has been completely overflowed into the upper pot, you can remove the mocha pot from the stove, and the coffee is ready! In my opinion, the whole process is no more difficult than boiling hot water to brew instant coffee or filter-hanging coffee, and it takes about the same time. It is really an easy way to brew rich Espresso.

Tip 1: the mocha pot can be used in a wide range of stoves, whether it's induction cookers, gas stoves, glass and ceramic stoves, or even romantic alcohol lamps. Basically, you can just heat it up! So it doesn't matter whether you want to cook at home, cook in a youth hostel, or take it out camping.

Tip 2: as mentioned earlier, it only takes 5 minutes to cook Espresso in a mocha pot, so remember not to run far away, it is very dangerous to let the pot dry!

Tip 3: the freshly cooked mocha pot is not very hot. Be careful not to touch other positions except the grip. It is best to put a thick thing or heat insulation pad under the table. In addition, to clean, remember to wait for the mocha kettle to cool.

Types of coffee

When the coffee liquid is cooked, then you can decide how to drink it according to your own habits. As we all know, most coffee is made by adding various things to the base of Espresso, so as long as materials / utensils are prepared, if you want to transform the Espresso brewed from the mocha pot into Mocha, Cappuccino, Macchiatto. It's all right to open a small coffee shop at home, and so on. It's as amazing as Aladdin's lamp.

But after all, we are not coffee experts (although college friends are, but this is too cheating, people still have to rely on their own! ), and the original intention is to take it out of the house, so only the simple basics of espresso Espresso, American coffee Americano and latte Caff è Latte are shared here. (if you are willing to cook mocha enthusiastically while you are in a youth hostel or camping, please take me on a trip to XDDD next time.)

❝espresso Espresso

Figure | what the mocha pot boils directly is Espresso. With the double glass attached to bodum, you can enjoy it right away.

The first is, of course, the simplest espresso (Espresso), which is completely trouble-free in this part. after all, the direct connection from the mocha pot is Espresso noun_544919_cc.png, that is, if you want to drink fragrant Espresso, the only thing to do is to bring a cup and pour the coffee into it! It's really as simple as it can be, and it's suitable for travel / camping in a hurry. And the Espresso boiled from the mocha pot is so rich that it feels like drinking it for a second to wake up.

Espresso Espresso

The drink extracted from coffee powder is washed with high temperature and high pressure water.

Usually the taste is a little bit stronger, the taste is a little bit stronger, and the weight is a little bit smaller.

In addition to drinking directly, it is also often used as a base for other flavors of coffee.

❝American Coffee Americano

Picture | add the right amount of hot water to the brewed Espresso, clang, and immediately turn into American coffee!

Figure | because of the hot water, American coffee is usually lighter and larger than Espresso.

Then if you think Espresso is bitter and sour as we do (by the way, we will have a child's taste! What?! ) the easiest way to drink something a little lighter and more people-friendly is to heat up the water and turn it into Americano. The advantage of this is that the water effectively dilutes the bitterness of the coffee, making it much easier to taste, and it is quite simple and casual (after all, we all know that Americans are sometimes more "informal". So the coffee they create is a little bit casual. (), just add hot water to the boiled Espresso, and the rest is nothing special. If the equipment is limited in a foreign camping area or youth hostel, it is a convenient option that is easy to cook.

Moreover, the American style with water is usually larger, and there is no milk, so you don't have to worry about it, so you can drink it slowly on the road. When traveling in a cold country, you can also put it in a thermos bottle and drink it out at any time to drive out the cold.

American Coffee Americano

Coffee made by adding hot water to black coffee. It is said that this method of drinking originated from the fact that during World War II, the US military could not get used to drinking small cups of thick and bitter Espresso, so they casually mixed hot water into it. After that, with the popularity of American popular culture, American coffee quickly spread all over the world. Nowadays, "American coffee" is even often used as the general name for all black coffee.

The more common saying is that it is made up of two portions of Espresso with hot water added to 30 Murray 470 ml (but the range of 30 Murray 470 is too wide. It's the same as not saying it! So basically it feels like you can add as much as you like. (also because of the addition of water, it tastes lighter than espresso (Espresso) (what nonsense).

❝latte Caff è Latte

Picture | if you are used to drinking lattes, you can also add your own milk foam to the boiled Espresso, or directly add hot milk to make coffee milk.

Although it's nice to have American coffee, I'm sure someone is a super dairy advocate like us, choosing a latte eight times out of ten times in a coffee shop. So for the last coffee of the day, we challenged brewing lattes. But what's a little troublesome is that if you want to cook the latte seriously, you'll have to get a foam machine in addition to the mocha pot. In terms of taking it out of the door, the most convenient and lightest option is probably the "milk bubble stick". I don't think anyone would want to carry the whole coffee machine for travel or camping. A582f947cf81039376cc5eea55720fdbkeeper? Although the bubble cup or egg beater is not large, the hands will be sore to death. Fortunately, at present, there are many choices of foam bars, and there are a lot of accessible prices, which is not too difficult to obtain.

With the bubble stick, things are simple, and then just

1. Heat the milk and pour it into the milk jug (it is best to heat it to about 70 degrees)

two。 Put the foam stick into it and beat the foam in 20 murals for 30 seconds.

3. Add the beaten milk and foam to the Espresso poured out of the mocha pot.

4. The great task has been completed! It is not a dream to cook a latte easily at home. )

▸▸ Picture | bodum SCHIUMA foam stick (er, I just looked at it, and it seems to be no longer on sale.

Picture | lattes made by professional friends, if this is your imagination of lattes, in addition to the mocha pot, remember to bring a bubble stick! (in addition, you may have to practice the XDD for several years.)

Of course, this is not to say that without a foaming machine, the latte dream in your heart must be broken. If you really don't have any suitable equipment on hand, but you insist on drinking a latte, here's a wonderful solution I found online for "latte without a foam machine / coffee maker": put the milk in a sealed can, shake it up and down crazily for about 30 seconds-let it mix into the air for 1 minute, then microwave it in the microwave for 30 seconds, then mix the milk with Espresso. Finally, use a spoon to remove the bubble and put it on the top of the coffee to make a latte. Although it may seem a little wonderful, it is also a method in the restricted environment. )

But to tell you the truth, if you ask me, I would think that if I don't have a bubble bar at hand, or if I don't want to take an extra thing out when traveling / camping, and I'm not so obsessed with an "orthodox latte", it would be easy and delicious to add hot milk to Espresso to make coffee milk. (if you think coffee milk sounds weak, you can call it Caf é con leche in Spanish or Caf é au lait in French. )

Latte Latte

Espresso (Espresso) is made with steam-heated milk and a layer of foam.

Although there is no fixed ratio of coffee to milk, there is usually more milk than coffee.

Those who pay attention to a little bit will usually use milk foam to pull out beautiful flower decoration.

Coffee milk

As the name implies, it is a combination of coffee and hot milk.

The Spaniards call it Caf é con leche and the French call it Caf é au lait.

The biggest difference between it and milky coffee such as Flat White and latte Caff è Latte is that the milk is not processed, it is simply hot milk:-P

So even if you don't have any equipment on hand, you can do it easily!

Picture | in this way, all three kinds of coffee are easily served in an instant.

It can only be said that cooking Espresso in a mocha pot is much easier and more convenient than I thought, and the coffee is so rich that even beginners like us can easily use it. 1957697059 and compared with the coffee maker, it is really small! Although we dare not say that it is too light to feel, we only used half the space of a small backpack this time, and we didn't feel heavy shoulders on the way, especially if we drove ourselves or put it in the suitcase. In addition, the material of stainless steel feels very solid, and it seems that you don't have to worry about breaking or crushing it, so it should be no big problem to take it out for a trip / camping.
