Does the powder trough of the mocha kettle have to be filled? is it recommended to distinguish the brand features between the single valve and the double valve?

With the launch of a new generation of pressurized mocha pots, attention has been focused on the 90-year-old coffee utensils. The mocha pot has set off another wave, and many friends want to talk about how to choose the single valve and double valves of the mocha pot, and some friends want to know how to use the mocha pot, so Qianjie came to popularize the knowledge of the mocha pot.

Does the powder trough of the mocha kettle have to be filled?

When filling the powder trough of the mocha pot, it is recommended to fill it, so that the extraction of coffee will be better than only half of the powder, so that the resistance of water through the coffee will be reduced, and the extracted coffee will be lighter and less full-bodied. So it doesn't have to be filled, it doesn't have to be filled. But the coffee doesn't taste so good. And when we fill the powder, we should pay attention, that is, do not press the powder hard, just wipe it flat, pressing the powder will cause the water not to come, the lower pot is under great pressure, there is the risk of explosion, and the coffee is easy to extract and will be particularly bitter.

So is the mocha pot better with a single valve or a double valve?

Qianjie believes that the single-valve mocha pot has a higher fault tolerance rate, and the coffee brewed out will not be so easy to extract. It is more friendly for beginners who come into contact with coffee for the first time, while the double-valve mocha pot needs more pressure and is easy to extract oil, but the risk of over-extraction is also greater, and the coffee made without paying attention will be very bitter.
