Where do you add the mocha pot and filter paper? Is it normal for mocha pot coffee to have grounds? What if I don't have enough pressure to make mocha coffee? Is it necessary to add filter paper to the mocha pot?

To be reasonable, Qianjie believes that coffee filter paper can really be called a very versatile appliance. Because it's not just hand-brewed coffee, such as ice-drop coffee, cold extract coffee, espresso, and even some friends use it when making coffee using a mocha pot!

Then at this point, some friends had doubts, and they could understand the first few. But why does this mocha pot use filter paper? What role can it add filter paper to?

What is the use of a mocha pot with filter paper? In fact, the effects of adding filter paper are nothing more than those two: filtering out the coffee grounds and allowing the water to extract more evenly. The same is true for the mocha pot and filter paper! It's just like an espresso machine, the effect of the filter paper changes depending on where it is located.

When the filter paper is placed on the bottom of the powder bowl: Because the hot water in the mocha pot is pushed from bottom to top by steam to achieve extraction, when the filter paper is placed on the bottom of the powder bowl, it can further disperse the hot water and make the extraction more uniform. Although that is true, the actual measurement on Qianjie shows that the effect brought by the filter paper is not much high.

Compared with making the extraction more uniform, Qianjie actually prefers its other effect-it can better knock out the coffee powder and make it more convenient to clean!

Because the water outlet hole at the bottom of the mocha pot powder bowl is large, coffee powder often gets stuck in the hole after making the mocha pot coffee, which is very troublesome to clean. When we put the filter paper on the bottom of the mocha pot, the amount of coffee powder stuck in the holes is much less, making it easier to clean. But is it necessary to put filter paper on to reduce cleaning... It all depends on personal preference ~

When the filter paper is laid on top of the powder cake: If you have a friend who often makes mocha pot coffee, it should be easy to observe that the brewed coffee liquid often contains a small amount of coffee powder. Similarly, it is also the result of the larger filter holes. When we lay the filter paper on top of the coffee powder, we can effectively reduce the existence of the coffee powder in the coffee liquor, because the filtering ability of the filter paper will be stronger, which can well block the coffee powder from overflowing and drink the coffee. The taste will be cleaner as a result.

In addition, the addition of filter paper can also slightly increase the pressure during extraction. Because the channel through which coffee liquor penetrates becomes smaller, more pressure is needed to break through, and this can directly lead to an increase in the extraction pressure of coffee. Although the increase is not much, when our coffee powder is not ground fine enough or the powder is not used too much, this may not be a good way to increase the extraction rate.

To sum up, everyone can know that filter paper can also play a role in the production of mocha pot coffee. When it is placed on the bottom, it can disperse the water flow, making extraction more uniform and making cleaning easier; when it is placed on coffee powder, it can reduce impurities in the coffee, make the taste cleaner, and give the extraction pressure a little improvement. But no matter which effect, it will not have a great impact on coffee. So whether to increase the use of filter paper because of this small change depends entirely on the individual ~
