Many friends asked Qianjie about how to extract espresso without an espresso machine at home. Yes! The handsome mocha coffee pot is the most suitable. The mocha coffee pot produces pressure by boiling at a high temperature and sucks water from the lower pot to the upper pot through the siphon principle. Because of the design, the mocha pot does not make much coffee each time, and then through siphon, the water can not be completely absorbed through the powder layer, so the extracted coffee is also quite rich.

The composition of the mocha coffee pot

The mocha pot is divided into three parts: the upper pot, the powder trough, and the lower seat. The lower pot is a sink for holding water, the powder trough is used to hold finely ground coffee powder, and the upper pot is to hold the extracted coffee liquid.

Extraction principle of mocha coffee pot

The principle of the mocha pot to extract coffee is very simple, that is, using the vapor pressure produced in the next pot, when the vapor pressure is high enough to permeate the coffee powder, it will push the hot water to the upper pot and brew the strong coffee. Using the vapor pressure of boiling hot water to extract coffee close to espresso flavor, Qianjie believes that this is the charming feature of the mocha coffee maker.

So how do we use a mocha coffee pot to extract an espresso that is made of milk coffee? The idea of Qianjie is:

1. To determine the amount of powder, grind a fine Italian scale, press the powder to fill it up and see how many grams it is.

two。 Determine the amount of water, the amount of water in the pot is not sure at first, it can only be tested by estimating the amount of coffee liquid. For example, the amount of powder used in Qianjie is 20g, and if you want to make espresso with a powder-to-water ratio of 1 to 1.8, that means using 36 grams of coffee powder. In the first test, the water in the pot was boiled with the water recommended by the mocha pot to see how much coffee liquid actually came out. When 100g water was added, the coffee liquid was 60g, but we only needed 36g coffee liquid, so when we made the next pot, we only needed to put 100g-(60-36) = 76g water.

3. For fine-tuning of the grinding degree, the ideal outlet state is that the coffee liquid flows out slowly and the pressure relief valve blows slightly, but there is no screaming. The coffee liquid flow rate is too fast the pressure relief valve does not jet is the powder is too thick, the coffee liquid flow rate is slow the pressure relief valve screams the jet is the powder is too fine.

4. After leaving the fire, the stable liquid will turn off the fire (the liquid from both sides has been wound in a circle at the bottom), and the small bubbles will be poured out in time before the bubbles begin to get bigger. The longer the time goes on, the heavier the taste will be, and the grease will be blown away.

How to use mocha pot to extract espresso from Qianjie Coffee? The front street uses Brazilian Queen's Manor coffee beans with a strong nutty cocoa aroma for extraction demonstration.

Front Street Coffee-Brazilian Queen's Manor Coffee beans

Producing area: Sao Paulo, Brazil

Manor: Queen's Manor

Altitude: 1400-1950m

Variety: yellow bourbon

Treatment method: half sun / sun exposure

1. Pour the purified water into the lower pot of the mocha pot, and the water level is about 0.5cm under the pressure relief valve.

two。 Coffee grinding degree is slightly thicker than Italian coffee, gently pat so that the coffee powder is evenly distributed, in the coffee powder in the form of hills through the form of cloth powder to make the coffee surface smooth.

3. Put the powder trough in the lower pot, tighten the upper and lower part of the mocha pot and heat it on the electric ceramic stove / stove. Put the powder trough into the lower pot, tighten the upper and lower part of the mocha pot and heat it on the electric ceramic stove. When the coffee liquid on the pot is halfway out, turn off the electric ceramic stove. The residual heat and pressure of the mocha pot will "push" the remaining coffee liquid into the pot.

4. When the coffee liquid is extracted into the pot, you can pour it into the cup and taste it. The coffee extracted by the mocha pot is so rich that it can even extract Crema. It can also be mixed with the right amount of water or milk for better flavor.
