Is mocha coffee the name of a coffee bean or a coffee drink? Or is it a place name? In fact, these answers are all correct. It's not entirely right. I'll introduce you to the development history of mocha coffee and mocha pot coffee in Chinese mainland.

First, the name of a fancy coffee: in an European or American cafe, if you order a cup of mocha, the waiter will bring you a cup of fancy coffee with chocolate sauce and cream. Represented by Starbucks

Second, the name of a single coffee drink: in some Japanese cafes, if you order a cup of mocha coffee, it refers to a cup of pure black coffee made from mocha beans.

Third, the name of a kind of coffee beans: mocha coffee is also a single coffee bean, Harald mocha, Ethiopia, which means coffee beans produced in Harald, Ethiopia. In the 15th century, some coffee-growing countries throughout Central and East Africa did not flourish, and Mocha in Yemen was the main export port near the Red Sea at that time. At that time, as long as the coffee was concentrated in the port of Mocha and then exported to Africa, it was collectively called mocha coffee. This kind of coffee bean has a natural sour taste.

4. Mocha coffee pot is also called Italian pot for short: it is a kind of apparatus for brewing coffee, and the coffee produced by mocha coffee pot belongs to Italian coffee or espresso; because mocha pot is coffee made by steam pressure principle, it can extract the essence of coffee to the maximum extent, which has a history of nearly a hundred years.

[the Development History of Chinese mainland] Mocha began to enter the Chinese mainland market in the late 1990s, when the Italian VEV brand was dominated by one party and led the Chinese mainland market leader for nearly 10 years. Later, due to the domestic Zhejiang Yongkang, Yiwu and other copycat products hit the market, and there were several explosion accidents, so that the newly opened cafe did not dare to continue to use mocha pots. It is appropriate to say that there are 20 times as many cafes today as there were at that time, while the sales of mocha pots are only one-tenth of what they sold at that time. However, there are still Japanese brands, the quality of domestically produced Tiamo and BMW mocha pots is reliable, but be careful not to buy fake ones!

Mocha pot VS pressure cooker VS magic lamp

In my eyes, the mocha pot is the closest coffee brewing appliance, because the mocha pot looks more like a Chinese pressure cooker than a French kettle like making tea and a siphon pot like doing an experiment. Every day, a porridge that young and old like to drink (hehe--) in Italy, the mocha pot is an indispensable appliance in the home, and almost every household uses it to make coffee, because it can make very rich coffee in two or three minutes for the whole family to enjoy. In addition, the mocha pot consists of two parts, the middle of which is a slender waist, which looks really like Aladdin's magic lamp.

The origin of the mocha pot

Mocha pot, as a major coffee culture in Italy, was invented by Luigi di Ponti in 1933, but its popularity was due to another Italian, Alfonso Bialetti, who founded the famous Bialetti company, which has become a multinational kitchen utensils company after many years of development. Later, Alfonso's son inherited the company, and cartoonist Paul Campani (Paul Campani) designed the cartoon character of the mocha pot based on his image, that is, "a man with a moustache", named "Moka Express", so everyone used to call it "mocha pot", but it had nothing to do with mocha coffee.

Working principle of mocha pot

Unexpectedly, the inspiration of the mocha pot was an old washing machine at that time. The washing machine heats the soapy water in the bucket and discharges it through a pipe to achieve the purpose of cleaning clothes.

The mocha pot uses the same principle, using the principle of steam pressurization. First of all, add water to the next pot and heat it with an open fire. when the water boils, the water in the base is heated to produce steam, and the squeezed water flows through the funnel pipe through the coffee powder to the upper pot. Normally, the mocha kettle can gather 1-1.5 air pressure.

Coffee brewing operation of mocha pot

1. The mocha kettle uses about 20g coffee powder, and the grinding degree is similar to that of the Italian machine.

2. Add water to the kettle and place the metal filter.

3. Pour the ground coffee powder into the strainer and gently smooth it with your fingers.

4. Tighten the pot, adjust the firepower to a proper size, and start heating.

5. When the water boils, the inside of the mocha pot begins to extract coffee.

6. If the water temperature is too high during the extraction process, the coffee liquid will be ejected; if the water temperature is too low, the coffee will flow out slowly.

7. when the sound of hissing and bubbling is heard, the extraction is completed.

(warm reminder: the mocha pot after brewing coffee is easy to burn, please pay attention to safety)
