Coffee supplies Coffee utensils Mocha pot How to use

In Italy, more than 90% of families own more than one mocha teapot, and such a high popularity rate may not even be comparable to our Chinese teapot.

The traditional mocha pot is generally made of aluminum, which has the advantages of low price, strong durability and simple operation, although it can not extract the real Espresso, but as long as coffee beans and grinding are in place, you can also get thick and beautiful fat Crema, which may also be one of the reasons why Italians love mocha pots.

If we classify the mocha pot according to its size, we can make several servings of coffee at a time by the number of portions. Generally, one serving refers to 30 milliliters of Espresso.

According to the material, the most ideal and mainstream material is still made of aluminum, and there are other materials such as ceramics, stainless steel and so on.

According to the principle, there are several kinds of ordinary type, double valve and circulating extraction, generally we choose ordinary type or double valve.

In the choice of brand, the Italian-made Biloti Bialetti is the well-deserved king of the mocha pot.

The following article will take the mocha pot with double valves for two people as an example to briefly introduce the operation steps of the mocha pot, just like other coffee extraction methods, in which the subtleties, with their own continuous operation and in-depth research, will inevitably get a lot of their own unique experience, which is the charm of coffee.

Raw materials:

(1) 14 grams of Italian coffee beans

(2) 75 ml of pure water

Production steps:

1) grind the coffee beans into powder, which is similar in thickness to cotton white sugar

2) fill the coffee into the strainer of the mocha pot

3) scrape the high powder tip flat with a finger knife

4) add 2.5 ounces of pure water to the mocha kettle, preferably boiled water, because boiling water can shorten the heating time and prevent scalding coffee powder, but be careful not to add water beyond the valve, otherwise boiling water will spray out of the safety valve.

5) clean the powder around the filter, and then insert the filter into the next pot

6) tighten the upper pot to the next pot and start the fire!

7) if the fire is big enough, the coffee will come out in about 2 minutes! If the extracted coffee has a similar golden grease, it means that the coffee is not only fresh, authentic and roasted, but also a sign of proper grinding and proper pressure of coffee powder in the strain. in short, it is good coffee!

8) when big bubbles begin to appear, it means that the extraction is complete and the engine can be turned off.

9) you can pour the coffee into the coffee cup, but remember to warm the cup.
