It was invented by Italian Mr. Alfonso Bialetti in 1933, because it is very convenient to use. Almost all Italian families have the most classic aluminum alloy hexagonal mocha pot. After time, many manufacturers have designed the same principle and different appearance materials.

This classic hexagonal mocha pot is even seen in movies.

This mocha pot is my favorite, because of its appearance, classic, appropriate price, collision resistance up the mountain and into the sea, it has been tested, the traces on the pot represent many good memories of tourism, mountain, mountain, river, camping, picnic.

Coffee brewed (extracted) in a mocha pot has a consistency intermediate that of espresso machines and corks,

How to make a successful mocha pot coffee, let's first understand the structure and principle of a pot body

The principle of the pot: it is to use the pressure of hot water to make the boiling water in the lower pot flow from the coffee powder tank pipe to the coffee powder tank in the middle layer. The hot water passes through the espresso extracted from the coffee powder and then rises to the upper pot by pressure. There are still some necessary precautions for operation.

※ Lower pot: Put drinking water or warm boiled water

※ Upper pot: Place the extracted coffee

※ When drinking, pour coffee directly without breaking down the pot.

※ The water in the pot must not exceed the pressure relief valve. This is a safety device to discharge excess pressure gas in the pot. If it is blocked by water, the consequences are unimaginable.

※ Do not rush to assemble structure after injecting cold water

※ Start boiling water over medium heat. Grind coffee powder while boiling water.

※ Coffee powder is finer than filter-type grinding, specifically about 1/3 finer than No. 2 sugar, and then filled into coffee powder tank to smooth.

※ When the water starts to bubble, put the coffee powder tank into the lower pot and lock the upper pot as quickly as possible.

Turn the gas down at this point, in order to control the time of hot water through the coffee cake, familiar with which pot you can brew some Crema .

※ When you hear the gas bubble sound of the upper pot, the fire is turned off.

※ The hot pressure of the pot body is large, and it is easy to separate the upper and lower pots until it is cooled.

※ Coffee powder is placed in a powder trough with a flat surface of paper

※ Coffee powder does not need to be packed

※ The coffee tank must be filled with coffee powder to extract the right concentration. Or the hot water will rush to the top

Some people may not like to drink very fine coffee powder

DIY can use filter coffee filter paper to cut out the filter paper with the same inner diameter and circular size, pad between the coffee powder and the upper pot, this problem is solved.

※ Clean the metal strainer at the lower edge of the upper pot regularly to avoid clogging

This is the new Bialetti hex pot called the Brikka mocha pot.

It has the same structure as the old model, but with a pressure valve on the upper pot, Crema can be easily extracted, although it is not as good as the Crema produced by the espresso machine of hundreds of thousands of yuan, but it also increases the visual effect.

※ The upper pot has a transparent window to increase visual pleasure and visual judgment.

※ Notice the shape of the accumulator valve.
