Can a mocha pot replace a coffee maker? Is the coffee extracted from the mocha pot espresso? Why is there no grease in the mocha pot?

"can the mocha kettle replace the coffee maker?" This is a point that many friends are curious about when they plan to get the mocha pot. Because they have a large demand for coffee, but the price of the coffee machine is often several thousand or tens of thousands, which is not a necessary expense, so most friends will turn their attention to the mocha pot, which is relatively close to the people.

Of course, the substitution here does not refer to the functional aspect, but whether the coffee made by the mocha pot can be used instead of the espresso made by the coffee machine. Because both are pressurized extraction, the coffee produced will have a higher concentration than the conventional single product, so it will naturally give rise to this idea. Good, then the front street will conduct an experiment to tell you whether the coffee made by the mocha pot can replace the espresso extracted by the coffee machine.

The same coffee beans will be used in front of this experiment to make a cup of espresso and a mocha pot of coffee respectively, and then compare the difference between the two! Then the coffee beans used here are still the handle of Qianjie stores: warm sun blending. The amount of powder is 20g and the degree of grinding is 1.6 (flour thickness) of Galileo Q18.

Here the powder-to-liquid ratio of espresso used in front street extraction is 1:2, that is, 20g coffee powder is used to extract 40ml coffee liquid.

On the other hand, the mocha pot coffee is made with a powder-to-water ratio, and the coffee powder of 20g is made using hot water from 80ml. Because the mocha pot coffee made in front street here is a high-concentration version, less hot water will be used. The production aspect will also be more tedious than the usual mocha pot coffee making. For details, please refer to the article "how to use a mocha pot to make a latte". The front street will not repeat too much. Finally, the weight of the coffee liquid poured out is 45ml, that is, the ratio of powder to liquid is 1 to 2.25.

As the oil of espresso has not been dispersed for a long time, when tasting espresso, Qianjie first feels the dense touch of the oil, followed by its rich and balanced taste. In terms of flavor, Qianjie drank butter cookies, chocolates, berries and whisky from espresso, with a thick overall taste and a long finish. Then there is the mocha pot coffee, because it is drunk first and concentrated, by contrast, the difference between the mocha pot coffee is very obvious. First of all, its concentration is not as high as concentrated, so the overall flavor is not as strong as espresso. The second is because its bubbles dissipate quickly after the extraction is completed, and the concentration is not so high, so the taste is slightly thin. However, the flavor of coffee is still relatively excellent, and almost all of it is concentrated, indicating that a complete extraction has been obtained.

The main reason for this difference is that the extraction pressure of the mocha pot is not as high as that of the Italian coffee machine. Although it is both pressurized extraction, the extraction pressure of the mocha pot is capped around 3bar, while the coffee machine is about 9bar, which is very different. As a result, no matter how much the mocha pot is adjusted, it will be difficult to extract the same concentration as espresso, and the taste and taste will be slightly inferior. But we need to know that the reason why the mocha pot was invented is not to replace the coffee machine (nor can it be), but to provide you with a more convenient coffee extraction tool. Although the coffee extracted by it is not as strong as espresso, it is strong enough to produce a cup of espresso with good flavor and taste (such as milk coffee, black coffee, etc.). It's just not that good compared to real espresso.

Compact and portable, easy to operate and friendly to the people are the advantages of the mocha pot different from the coffee maker. If people don't need so much coffee every day and just want to make a cup at home to satisfy their stomachs, then the mocha pot is perfectly qualified for the job.
