What are the advantages and disadvantages of steam coffee pot? Steam coffee pot commonly known as mocha pot, it belongs to the Italian national class of coffee brewing utensils, it is said that there are 8 regular mocha pots in every 10 Italian households. But the domestic audience is basically very small, its advantage is its portability, it only needs a source of fire, it can be used anywhere. So what are its shortcomings? Because of its simple structure and convenient operation, its product is also relatively primitive, and the coffee flavor may be relatively weak. Because the temperature is higher, and the cooking time is longer, so its bitterness is also higher.

What are the correct methods and precautions for the correct use of the steam coffee pot?

First, the amount of water in the mocha pot.

How much water to add is also a matter of concern to many partners. You can take a look at the pot. There is a prominent hole called the pressure relief valve, which is designed to prevent some factors (such as coffee powder is too fine) from causing excessive pressure and explosion. If the water does not pass through this valve, it may lose the pressure relief effect and increase the risk of blasting. Therefore, the amount of water is generally best 0.5 cm below the pressure relief valve. Partners who need a calculation formula can also weigh the water and record it. The front street uses a Billerty three-person single-valve mocha kettle, which measures the amount of water for 130ml.

Second, the fineness of coffee powder in mocha pot

The first thing to note is that the grindness of the mocha pot is not the same as that of the espresso machine, which has a greater pressure (9bar) and can break through the resistance of pressed powder. On the other hand, the pressure of the mocha pot is not so great, if it is too detailed, the coffee liquid will not come up, and the pressure of the lower pot will be increased, and if the pressure is not relieved effectively, there will be the danger of explosion. So if the water has been boiling, and the coffee liquid has not come up for a long time, the heating source should be turned off in time. Too thick is not good, because the resistance is too small, coffee liquid will gush out, prone to the risk of splash scald. The recommended thickness of Qianjie is EK-43s#3-3.5scale.

Third, what coffee beans are suitable for mocha pots?

In front of the street, it is recommended to use medium and deep roasted coffee beans, Italian coffee beans or coffee powder for mocha pots. In the past, if recommended in the street bean list, Brazil's Queen's Manor Yellow bourbon Coffee mixed with Sunflower is a good choice.
