What is a mocha pot? How do I use the mocha pot?

Mocha pot

Using the vapor pressure of boiling hot water to extract coffee close to the flavor of espresso, it is a direct-fire coffee pot from Italy. Although the operation is not difficult, the timing of flameout takes a lot of skill. Using the unique rich taste that the drip filter coffee maker does not have, it is certainly good to drink directly, and you can also enjoy the variety of making lattes or Alfacito.

1. Grind the coffee beans into powder (20 grams / 3 cups of espresso). Separate the upper pot of the mocha pot from the lower pot and fill the lower pot with water (140 ml).

two。 Put the coffee powder in the metal filter (powder trough) and use a measuring spoon to pat the coffee powder a little bit.

3. Install the powder trough on the lower pot, and then tighten the upper pot. Please make sure that the upper and lower pots are connected. )

4. Under the condition of opening the lid, the fire is heated by direct fire and the firepower is controlled to the extent that the flame does not exceed the bottom of the pot. (because it is possible to boil and overflow, it is recommended to do so with the lid open until you can get the hang of it. If the rack of the gas stove is so spaced that the mocha pot cannot be firmly placed on it, please add a net and heat it over direct fire. )

5. When the hot water boils and begins to extract the coffee, turn off the heat. When all the extraction is finished, in order to avoid oversteaming, please pour the coffee into the cup as soon as possible.

The practice of latte

Taste the coffee made from the mocha pot directly, of course it tastes great, but it is also delicious to add milk to make a latte. You can enjoy a wonderful combination of round, sweet milk and rich, deep coffee.

1. An electric foam machine for making milk foam. Pour an appropriate amount of hot water into the cup. It's better to try to prepare a bigger cup. )

two。 Pour milk into a small pot, heat to about 70 ℃, then pour into a milk jug, beat with an electric foam machine for 20 to 30 seconds to make milk bubbles. When boiling milk, please be careful not to boil. )

3. Pour the coffee extracted from the mocha pot or espresso machine into the cup, then pour into the beaten milk foam. (the proportion can be adjusted according to your preference. Coffee is recommended: the proportion of milk is 1:2. )

4. Finally, pour the foam perfectly on the surface of the coffee.
