How to open a mocha pot? How to wash the newly purchased mocha pot? Why can't I drink the first three cups of coffee made by the new mocha pot?

The advantages of the mocha pot are not only that it can extract espresso close to espresso, but also that it has a pleasant price, simple operation, and easy to carry. So many friends have bought a mocha pot. Even if they are not used, it is still a good decoration.

When everyone buys a mocha pot, both the store's customer service and the instructions that accompany the pot will have such a reminder: "The first three cups of coffee extracted with the new mocha pot cannot be drunk and need to be poured out. "In addition to the official, some Mocha pot bloggers will also mention this matter in their sharing. So many friends will be curious: Why can't the first three cups of coffee made by the new mocha pot be drunk?

Why can't I drink the first three cups of coffee made by the new mocha pot? The reason why the first three cups of coffee made by the new mocha pot cannot be drunk is that these three cups of coffee are used to wash the machine, that is, to carry out the so-called "pot opening ceremony."

As we all know, mocha pots are mainly made of metal and various small parts. Although the structure is not complicated, it is inevitable that there will be some corners that cannot be cleaned enough when leaving the factory, resulting in some metal debris or edible oil stains remaining in these places. For example, the water source conduit of the powder tank or the coffee outlet end, etc. So before formal extraction, we need to carry out a deep cleaning of the mocha pot to prevent the extracted coffee liquor to drink from containing metal residue or peculiar smell!

Every time Qianjie shares this way, some friends will ask this question: Can we boil water directly? I didn't want to use coffee powder. After all, I had to pour out three cups, which felt a bit wasteful. To be reasonable, although the mocha pot can indeed boil water directly, Qianjie does not recommend doing so because the cleaning effect will not be as good with only water. When we let the mocha pot make coffee, the coffee powder pressed in the powder bowl can create resistance and slow down the flow of hot water. This can accumulate more pressure so that hot water can better extract coffee, and at the same time bring a better cleaning effect, allowing every corner of the mocha pot to be cleaned more thoroughly.

Therefore, the Qianjie Association recommends that everyone use coffee powder to brew and clean coffee, and this can also help us check whether the liquid outflow and sealing of the mocha pot are normal, and identify potential problems in time for after-sales purposes. But because the powder bowl needs to be filled like the actual extraction, it is indeed a waste to go through three pieces. In this case, Qianjie would recommend that you use some coffee beans that have a long time to stand, are not so good to drink, or are relatively cheap to open the pot. After we finish cleaning, we will use our favorite coffee beans to extract it ~

The way to open the pot is also very simple, which is the normal operating process of making coffee in a mocha pot. First fill the coffee powder into the powder bowl and fill it up → Then inject the appropriate amount of hot water into the lower pot → Place the powder groove into the lower pot and assemble and tighten the upper pot and lower pot → Heat the mocha pot → Boil all the coffee liquid → Pour out the coffee liquid → Clean it, and then repeat it twice. Friends who are worried about incomplete cleaning can do it again. At this point, the opening ceremony of the mocha pot is completed ~

Then, the front street here wants to remind everyone that the filter rubber ring of the mocha pot can be removed by removing it. Just use any item to gently pry the rubber ring, and the rubber ring will be pried off together with the filter. Rubber rings, filters, and the places covered by them also need to be cleaned. Many friends have not cleaned these places, causing a lot of residue and dirt to accumulate in them. Then the mocha pot coffee brewed will have a certain odor. So after you buy a mocha pot, you can also pay attention to this. In addition, there are many places to pay attention to, but since it is not the focus of this article and has also been mentioned in previous articles, I will not repeat it here. Interested friends can understand it for themselves through search ~
