A large number of people like to drink coffee. For many people, coffee is a necessity of life.

For example, I must drink a cup of coffee every day to refresh myself.

In addition to the cost of drinking coffee at work, you will go to a cafe with a higher unit price to try a different flavor during the holiday.

It must be an expense after a month, and of course I've found ways to save money.

If you want to have a latte or sweet coffee for a change once in a while, the charge will be increased.

Although it is very common now that the second cup is at a 30% discount or half price, the cup delivery service is also very convenient to buy one-two months at a time.

But if you get bored in the middle of the drink (yes, I like the new and hate the old), you can't replace the American style with a latte.

Strained coffee

It's really convenient to have filter coffee in the office.

The price is not fixed. Sometimes the special price is really cheap.

I once bought a pack of 10 yuan and drank two drinks a day without feeling distressed.

But sometimes you can't ask for quality when it's cheap. some filter-hanging coffee tastes really scary.

In addition, the amount of filter coffee can be filled with small cups (120ml-180ml).

And usually designed as a filter type of coffee is suitable for drinking black coffee alone, not suitable for milk.

There are fewer changes that can be made, and the last drawback is that filter coffee can also produce a lot of garbage.

If you want to strike a balance between cost and taste, you want a little different.

In fact, the best way is to cook it yourself, and you really don't need very good skills and utensils.

The mocha I want to share today is close to Italian cooking (that is, American style, latte and so on).

You can easily use it if you have no coffee-making experience at all.

There are also a lot of cooking methods and genres of mocha.

My method is that the preschool grade has been used for several years, and the coffee brewed in this way is my favorite taste.

If you are interested in advanced cooking, you can look it up on the Internet again.

The mocha pot can boil a cup of fragrant ESPRESSO in a short time because it is easy to use.

The price is not expensive, so it is an indispensable coffee utensil in many Italian families.

You can drink black coffee or add milk as you like.

I use BIALETTI at home, which is a century-old Italian brand.

Friends who make coffee at home should be no stranger.

For matters needing attention in the use of BIALETTI mocha pot, see BIALETTI mocha pot here.

This is an one-person mocha. I can see it's used every day. It's really old.

Take it apart and look like this. On the far left is the bottom, the far right is the upper, and the powder trough in the middle is where the powder is to be put.

Because the mocha pot is a kind of espresso brewing.

So my personal preference is that the balanced flavor concentration of beans specially formulated for Italian coffee or re-baked beans is enough.

It is not certain to choose this part of coffee beans according to your own preference.

If the degree of grinding is smaller than that of brown sugar, it is 1 inch 3.

I use a bean grinder to grind it a little bit finer than yellow sugar because I like stronger coffee.

You can also ask the store to grind it first so as to save the problem of grinding degree.

First of all, install cold water in the lower part of the tank.

Note:

1. There will be a line in the next pot, and the round on the left side of the line is the pressure relief valve. Water cannot be filled beyond the line.

Because if the water blocks the pressure relief valve, it will cause excess pressure in the kettle and the gas cannot be discharged, so you should pay special attention to it.

two。 It is not recommended to install hot water directly, because you have to lock the pot, and it will burn if you put it in your hand.

There is also a saying that hot water steaming into coffee powder in the next pot of steam will affect the taste of the coffee.

This part can be tested. Personally, I think it is more dangerous to install hot water in operation.

Combine the middle container and the lower pot to fill the coffee powder to this extent (about 10-12 grams).

Note:

After filling it, gently press it with a spoon. There is no need to press hard.

If the pressure is too tight, the water in the pot will not go well and the coffee will fail to brew.

Because I personally like mocha pots to boil the aroma of coffee grease, I don't need filter paper.

If you don't use filter paper, you will more or less make fine coffee grounds. Oh, friends who can't accept this.

After the coffee powder is packed flat, put on the special filter paper of the mocha pot and lock the pot directly.

Put on the pot and cook it on the gas stove.

(if you have money, you can buy a gas stove for mocha pot.)

If you cook in a gas stove at home, use an iron frame to separate the space for the fire to heat.

At first, turn on the fire so that the fire is heated evenly at the bottom of the pot (but don't let the fire cover the pot)

As soon as the coffee comes up, turn to a low heat (the fire is concentrated in the middle of the bottom of the pot) and let the rest of the coffee slowly go up.

When the coffee is cooked, it will make a sound like this, and the coffee will be cooked, and the golden yellow on it is the fat of the coffee.

It really smelled good when it was first cooked.

Basically, it only takes 1-2 minutes to make coffee, so don't leave the gas stove for too long.

Note:

1. The body of the coffee pot is very hot, so after the coffee is poured out, the pot body cools and then rinses.

two。 Rinse with clean water and toothbrush.

Pour it into a cup after it is cooked. It is about 70c.c.

The mellow content of mocha is a little bit close to the concentration of espresso.

A quantity like this is like two espresso on the market (one 30c.c.)

But of course the espresso is strong, but it's nice to have this concentration when you cook it at home.

If you want to drink American-style coffee, you can enjoy the coffee if you brew the coffee here and add boiled water to it, which is 3 times that of the coffee.

The latte drinker is going to heat the milk with about 250CC (using the amount of coffee sold in the market)

After a while, you have to foam and heat it to a temperature that is warm and does not roll (about 60-70 degrees).

I just feel a little hot when I drink it, but it's not too hot to swallow that temperature.

I feel it with my hands (wash my hands) or I can buy a thermometer if I have money (I have no money)

Too much milk won't be sweet, and the taste will become thinner and the nutritional value will be reduced.

If the milk temperature is too low, the coffee will not play its aroma and affect the taste when the coffee is cooled down.

Milk foam sticks, this is the tool I use to make milk foam, and this thing has a big price difference.

I think Dachuang is still selling it for 39 yuan.

Considering the durability of the product, I bought a more expensive bodum. The price is 500yuan.

After the milk is heated, the head of the bubble stick is completely immersed in the milk and then turn on the switch to turn on the foam, otherwise the milk will be sprayed everywhere.

When the switch is turned on, a swirl of thick milk foam will be sucked into the whirlpool and slowly become fine milk foam.

You can stop when you are satisfied.

I am quite surprised that the foaming power of this kind of foam stick is really a lot of foam.

Then add the milk to the coffee and the hot latte is quite simple.

It should be enjoyable to have this kind of coffee at home.

It's only so troublesome if you want to make milk. Just pour the milk into the coffee instead of milk. The whole process of brewing coffee will only take about five minutes.

It is really not difficult for mocha pots to make coffee, and there is no need for skill.

And if it is used correctly, it will not be broken at all. There are many benefits without maintenance costs.

If you like espresso but don't have much budget, the mocha pot is definitely the best choice.

More mocha pots are here, foam sticks are here.

An extra piece

I usually don't have time to make coffee slowly at work. I personally have an easy way.

1. Boil 3-5 days' worth at home the night before, put it in a kettle and take it to the company refrigerator for refrigeration.

two。 Look at the mood on the day of work, pour in the amount of espresso every day and add water or milk.

If you want to drink hot in cold weather, just microwave it.

I don't mind if I cook it every day for convenience, so I prepare the amount I want to drink for a week.

Personally, I think the flavor is not much different, and the beans are chosen by themselves, which is much better than that of super merchants.

It doesn't make any rubbish, it's quite environmentally friendly, coffee grounds can deodorize and plant flowers.

If you are interested, buy a mocha pot and try it.
