The mocha pot is divided into three parts: the upper body, the powder trough, and the lower seat.

01

The outlet of the coffee liquid flow is the extraction port: the extracted coffee flows out of it. The extraction port of some products is equipped with a pressure valve, this kind of pot has higher extraction pressure than other mocha pots and can extract more abundant coffee oil. For a mocha kettle with a pressure valve, when the upper body and lower seat are separated, the pressure valve needs to be lifted gently to drain the internal pressure.

02

The function of the rubber ring: the rubber ring around the filter disc helps to maintain the high air pressure inside the mocha pot. If it is often used, the rubber band will gradually deform as a result of continuous thermal expansion and cold contraction. In addition, if the rubber ring is taken off every time it is cleaned, it will cause the rubber ring to stretch faster. So if the extraction is not going well or the steam and coffee are leaking, first check whether the rubber ring is normal. The mocha pot needs to be cleaned after use, but the rubber ring does not need to be taken off every time. Rubber rings are consumables and need to be renewed.

Pressure valve: a safety device to prevent the internal air pressure of the mocha kettle from exceeding a certain range.
