The Bailetti star anise pot finally arrived on the afternoon of the 20th and waited for more than two months.

Of course, most stores can buy it at or auction, but most of them are relatively old-fashioned and more expensive than mine.

I found this seller in YPai, because she lives in Italy, so she bought it locally.

First of all, the front is not free to take some photos of opening the box.

The bag at the bottom is the original bag, just an ordinary plastic bag. The dog next to him was put by his wife, not given away.

Take a group photo of the contents.

The lower pot of this mocha pot is stainless steel and the upper pot is aluminum alloy, which is its characteristic. The mocha pot designed by Bailetti

The pot must be aluminum alloy.

People who are making tea at home should have noticed that the most common old teapot in your family used to be khaki, but now it has already turned black.

It is what people say about raising a teapot. It is said that the longer the tea is raised, the more delicious the tea will be.

This aluminum alloy also has the same effect, because the density is low, so the coffee dirt will slowly seep into the pores, and the color of the pot will become darker.

But it is not clear whether the coffee will actually taste better.

However, if you don't pay attention to the cleaning action, there will be a mixed smell when you cook it.

Separate the upper and lower pots...

The one at the bottom of the pot is coffee powder.

You also have to buy a bag of pellet-shaped Lu paper.

When you want to buy Lu paper, you should first measure the diameter of your coffee powder, so as not to make a mistake.

After watching the out-of-the-box photos, let's cook the first cup.

First of all, remember to fill the pot with water. I pour hot water, which can save time.

When filling water, there is a meter-shaped water level inside the lower pot, which should not be added to exceed the pressure relief cut.

The amount of soaking is very small (although it is a 4-cup mocha pot, but 1 cup is only about 30ml), but it is very smooth.

I often add more water to make it American coffee when I go to work, otherwise it won't be enough to drink at all.

I don't know if this will hurt the pot, xd.

Then pour the ground coffee powder into the coffee powder grains, about eight parts full (do not compact), as shown in the following picture

I'm too full, it doesn't matter, the first few drinks have to be poured out. )...

Cover with Lu paper.

If you heat the kettle with boiling water, the kettle will become very hot. Use a piece of cloth as a glove and tighten the upper and lower pot.

Screw the upper and lower pot tightly and put it on the source of fire. It is very difficult for me to cook with a cassette gas stove, because this is the only thing in the company.

But it is very difficult to use the shelf is too wide, it is easy to pour, I actually put the whole pot on the table when the first pot was cooked, xd.

Should pay attention, cook with gas stove, low heat is fine, the fire should not exceed the bottom of the pot.

After firing, after the next pot of water boils, the water pressure is too high will rush up, after the coffee powder lees, through the Lu paper rushed to the upper pot …

The picture below shows that the coffee liquid is beginning to flow out.

At this time, the fire is turned down a little bit.

When the pot is finally cooked, there will be a sound on the other side of the pot, and then leave the fire source.

You will find that there is still water left in the tube when you pour out the coffee, but don't cook it longer next time because of this.

Fill in the cup picture, because there is no espresso cup, so take the general cup.

If you don't like it too hard, you can make some foam and make it a cappuccino.

The upper layer of yellow foam is Crema, which seems a little thin. Continue to practice XD.

But it's true that the mocha pot can't make a thick layer of Crema like the Espresso machine, the pressure difference is too much.

In addition...

If you want to cook with a gas stove at home, just buy a small ring, as shown in the following picture.

About the design diagram of this section of polymer cutting.

The head of the coffee exit can be rotated down, the picture below is the front …

The bottom of the reverse side is a layer of rubber, which is used to plug the hole of the coffee liquid.

This is the coffee liquid outlet hole, and the bottom is the base of the pressure cutting. after the head is screwed with the base.

Press the outlet hole of the coffee liquid with their weight, and the coffee liquid will not flow out until it is heated to a certain pressure enough to support its weight.

After cooking, cool the mocha pot with cold water, then disassemble the upper and lower pots and wash them.

I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

It is best to boil the new mocha pot 3 or 4 times before drinking it, or disinfect the upper and lower pots with hot water.

In addition, the following is a short introduction to this mocha pot I found in knowledge +.

In the 1930s, the Italian company Bailetti launched an aluminum espresso pot with star anise shape and named him "Moka Express". After mass production and export, everyone used to call the espresso pot mocha pot, because several mocha pots successively produced by Bailetti were still in aluminum star anise shape, although other well-known companies later launched many innovative, artistic or more practical designs (stainless steel, ceramic, plug-in). But the status of the aluminum star anise pot as the classic style of the mocha pot has also been determined.'
