Mocha pot (Moka Pot) is a tool for extracting espresso, which is widely used in Europe and Latin American countries, and is called "Italian trickle filter pot" in the United States.

The mocha pot has a two-layer structure, and when the water in the lower part is boiled, it is sprayed into the upper half of the pot through a mesh filter containing coffee powder. Although hot water can be injected into finely ground coffee powder without air pressure, this is not strictly a concentrated extraction, but is closer to dripping, but the mocha pot coffee still has the concentration and flavor of Italian coffee Espresso.

Key points for buying mocha pots:

First, material, which is the preferred consideration, because the mocha kettle will produce high pressure after heating, the quality of the material will directly affect the safety of use. General water storage container materials are edible aluminum and stainless steel, it is recommended to choose stainless steel. When choosing and buying, one is to weigh the weight of the pot, you can know the thickness of the dosage, and choose the heavier one.

Second, look at the appearance of the kettle.

Third, tightness: one is the tightness between the upper seat and the lower seat, and the other is the tightness of the pressure relief valve, whether there is water seepage. Tightness can only be found through use, it is recommended to buy brand-name products, there can be relative quality assurance.

What coffee beans are used in the mocha pot:

The water storage container of the slender mocha pot is high, deep, slow to heat and high pressure, so it is suitable for steaming shallow roasted coffee.

2. Medium and high mocha pots are suitable for roasting coffee in steaming.

Third, the chubby mocha pot has the advantages of low width, fast heating and low pressure, so it is suitable for steaming deep-roasted coffee.

The mocha pot is divided into two parts. The water is boiled in the lower half of the pot until it boils. Under the pressure of steam, the boiling water rises through the filter containing coffee powder to the upper half of the pot. When the coffee starts to flow to the top half of the pot, turn down the fire, because the high temperature will make the coffee scorch and destroy the original flavor.

1. First, warm water is injected into the pot, and the amount of water in the pot should not exceed the pressure relief valve to avoid safety risks caused by excessive pressure. The water level should be 0.5 cm below the safety valve. The safety valve will automatically relieve pressure when the pressure of the lower pot is too high to prevent safety accidents.

two。 Ground coffee beans, the fineness of espresso is medium to fine. After grinding, pour the coffee powder into the filter. Gently press, according to the amount of 6 grams of coffee powder in a cup of coffee, according to the size of the mocha pot to determine the amount of coffee powder, you can also according to your taste, increase or decrease the amount of coffee powder.

3. Put the filter containing the coffee powder into the lower pot and lock the upper pot.

4. Put the mocha pot on the heating device and cook it over medium heat. The coffee will slowly overflow to the top and then flow out of the pipe of the upper pot. When you hear the hissing sound of steam, it means that all the water in the pot has come up. At this time, you can turn off the fire and complete the brewing process.

5. Remove the mocha pot, pour the coffee into the cup and enjoy.

After each use of the mocha pot, after cooling, remove the filter, pour out the coffee grounds, rinse the filter and dry it for storage. Keep the coffee pot clean to ensure that the cooked coffee tastes mellow without the smell of residual coffee grounds.
