The mocha pot was invented by Mr Alfonso Bialetti of Italy in 1933. Because it is very easy to use, almost all Italian families have the most classic aluminum alloy hexagonal mocha pot. With the evolution of time, many manufacturers have designed mocha pots with the same principle and different appearance materials.

This classic hexagonal mocha pot is often seen in movies.

This mocha pot is my favorite, because of its appearance, classics, suitable price, and resistance to crash up the mountain and sea. The traces on the pot represent many good memories of traveling, climbing mountains, crossing mountains, tracing streams, camping and picnics.

The concentration of coffee brewed (extracted) from the mocha pot is between the Italian espresso machine and the plug pot.

How to make a successful mocha pot coffee, let's first understand the structure and principle of the pot body.

The principle of the pot is to use the pressure steamed by hot water to make the boiling water of the lower pot run up from the coffee powder trough to the middle coffee powder trough, and the hot water passes through the espresso extracted by the coffee powder and then rises to the upper pot by pressure. There are still some matters that must be paid attention to in operation as follows:

Pots: place drinking water or lukewarm water

Serve the pot: place the extracted coffee

When drinking, the upper and lower pots do not need to decompose and pour out the coffee directly.

The water in the kettle must not exceed the pressure relief valve. This is the safety equipment to discharge the excess pressure gas from the kettle. It is hard to imagine the consequences if it is blocked by water.

There is no hurry to assemble the structure after injecting cold water.

Use medium heat to boil water and grind coffee powder when boiling water.

The coffee powder is finer than the filter type, specifically, it is about 1 / 3 smaller than the No. 2 sugar. After grinding, fill the coffee powder trough to smooth it.

When the boiling water starts to breathe, when the water boils, put the coffee powder trough into the next pot and lock the pot as quickly as possible.

At this time, turn the gas to low fire, the purpose is to control the time when the hot water passes through the coffee cake, no matter which pot you use, you can cook some.

I heard the sound of gas blisters in the upper pot to turn off the fire.

The hot pressure of the pot body is high, and it is easy to clean up and down the pot separately until it is cooled.

The coffee powder is placed in the powder trough to cover the surface with paper.

Coffee powder does not need to be filled.

The coffee trough must be filled with coffee powder to extract the right concentration. Otherwise, the hot water will rush to the pot quickly.

Some friends may not like to drink very fine coffee powder.

DIY can use filter coffee filter paper to cut the filter paper with equal inner diameter and put it between the coffee powder and the pot. This problem is solved.

The metal filter on the lower edge of the upper pot is cleaned regularly to avoid blockage.
