Boutique coffee learn how to make coffee in a mocha pot

Pay attention to a few points: water quantity, water quality, heat, coffee powder dosage and thickness, stirring, time a good cup of coffee should be strong concentration but not too bitter, with milk and milk foam can get a cup of fragrant milk coffee (Latte or Cappuccino) coffee powder to the finest grinding, but only one or two people, in the average family, the more economical choice is mocha pot

Step 1, select Espresso-specific coffee beans, which need to be ground more finely than American coffee, but not to the extent of the powder, which is still granular. If the coffee is ground too fine, the coffee powder will penetrate the metal filter, leaving residue, and cause excessive extraction and too bitter, too astringent, if the grinding is too coarse, the hot water passes through the coffee too quickly and the extraction is not enough.

Step 2. Put an appropriate amount of hot water at the bottom of the mocha pot (usually the amount of a cup of Espresso will not exceed 60 grams).

Step 3, put the coffee powder in the middle of the mocha pot, in a funnel-shaped container, the dosage of each cup is about 8 or 9 g, spread the coffee powder flat, squeeze it slightly, but do not press it too closely, and then put it into the pot.

Step 4: tie the upper seat of the mocha pot to the lower seat completely to ensure that the water does not ooze from the middle when boiling, and then heat the mocha pot from the bottom, which you can hold by hand or on a special shelf, which is heated by an alcohol lamp or gas stove until the water boils and flows to the upper seat.

Practice: coffee for two (mocha) put 16 grams of coffee powder into the upper half of the filter and press the powder tightly with a spoon. Injection of 260c.c. Put the water in the lower half of the water, and then fasten the two parts together. Heat the assembled utensils over medium heat. When the boiled water boils, the mocha hisses, indicating that the water in the mocha passes through the middle tube and sprays the coffee powder in the filter, and the coffee liquid is drawn out and stretches the tube to the coffee bar. From boiling water to coffee to coffee bar, it takes about two or two. The engine can be turned off in five minutes. Pour the brewed coffee into a preheated coffee cup to drink, or add hot water to dilute it to an appropriate concentration.
