Coffee common sense Coffee pot in French movies

Mocha pots are becoming more and more common. Everyone feels good about this novel and good-looking coffee pot, and some people don't know how to use it at all, but buy it back as a pure decoration in the living room or wine cabinet because of its unique shape.

Step 1: prepare the filtered hot water, it is best to use the clean water filtered by the general household water filter to calculate the amount of water required by 30 mg per cup.

Step 2: usually do not want the brewed coffee to have coffee grounds left at the bottom of the cup. This is also a kind of coffee etiquette. In order to avoid the emergence of coffee grounds, we can prepare a piece of filter paper or filter cloth, according to the coffee container, draw the size of the container on the paper or cloth.

Step 3: cut out the circle just drawn, if it is a filter cloth. It is best to rinse slightly with water to avoid leaving bad cloth pulp in the coffee.

Step 4: pour the water into the kettle, pay attention to that the water cannot exceed the horizontal height of the outlet, otherwise the hot water will spray out with steam after heating, causing unnecessary danger.

Step 5: flatten the surface of the coffee particles with your hands, and then press down gently and horizontally with the decompression plate.

Step 6: lock the filter cover, put the water in according to the instructions of the machine, press the switch, and the steam begins to pass through the coffee particles.

Step 7: remove coffee particles from the edge of the coffee container, otherwise it will affect the service life of the white rubber gasket. The white gasket does not need to be separated from the upper pot in order to avoid accidental loss in cleaning.

Step 8: put the filter cloth on the pressed coffee container.

Step 9: put the coffee container containing coffee particles into the lower pot, then lock the upper pot, pay attention to the thread between the upper and lower pot, lock carefully. Put it on the heater and start heating.

Step 10: in the process of heating, you will hear a rapid hiss, which is the sound of steam rushing to the pot with coffee, once the sound changes to a rustling sound. It may mean that all the moisture in the pot has been turned into coffee. You can listen by experience, or you can open the lid directly (it doesn't matter, it won't affect the quality of the coffee). If you see that the steam hole has stopped steaming, it means that the extraction process has been completed. You're ready to enjoy this cup of hand-refined Italian coffee.

Coffee granule

Secret-1: the amount of coffee particles can vary according to your preferences. Because the capacity of each mocha pot and the coffee container are too small, you need to try it several times. In order to find out the amount of coffee particles that suit your taste. If you like it thicker, you can fill the flattened space with a pressure reducing plate when filling the powder, and then gently press it again.

Secret-2: the size of filter cloth. Cannot be larger than the surface of the coffee particles, otherwise it will cause too much pressure. Steam will spill over.

Tip-3: the main function of the decompression plate is to put a small amount of coffee on the filter cloth when making a small amount of coffee in a larger mocha pot, which can easily control the number of cups and the quantity of coffee particles. It is used as the function of pressing bar here. Because the steam pressure produced by the mocha pot is relatively small, generally speaking, it is not like the Italian coffee maker that requires a special pressure bar.

Siphon coffee turns the living room into a cafe

Step 1: select the appropriate thickness of ground beans. The practice of siphon coffee. It is suggested that the thickness of ground beans is close to that of special grains and fine sand. So just buy a small packet of extra granulated sugar and bring it back. By carefully comparing the feel between ground coffee particles and granulated sugar, you can directly judge.

Step 2: put the filter cloth in the upper seat of the siphon pot. Fix the position of the upper seat and the filter cloth, and make sure that the position of the filter cloth is in the center, if the position is wrong, you can hold the bamboo spoon to adjust.

Step 3: scoop the right amount of coffee particles into the upper seat of the siphon pot. The amount of coffee powder. The standard for each siphon coffee in a cafe is about 18 to 22 grams, with 110 milliliters of water. But in general practice, 15 grams is fine.

Step 4: boil water until 100 ℃ boil.

Step 5: insert the upper seat of the siphon pot into the lower seat.

Step 6: the water in the lower seat will begin to rise along the middle tube of the siphon pot. When half of the water has risen to the seat, stir the coffee granules in the upper seat with a bamboo spoon.

Step 7: coffee and water in the upper seat will form a three-layer phenomenon. The stop layer is foam. The middle layer is foamed coffee particles, and the lower layer is immature water that will become the color of standard coffee. If you overturn the can as soon as you rise, it means you have too much firepower. Turn down the fire right away. Stay at rest for about 30 cents for 50 seconds, a process called stew-and then the upper foam gets bigger and bigger. Until the bubble is as big as a golf ball, or even bigger, the middle layer gradually dissolves and precipitates, while the lower layer disappears completely. At this time. You can mix well with a bamboo spoon. Then turn off the engine, and the liquid in the upper seat is coffee with the same color and no foam.

Step 8: if you are skilled. You can stir the circle in the upper seat with a bamboo spoon to quickly lower the coffee particles to the lower seat of the siphon pot, or cover or wipe the lower seat with a wet cloth, so that the hot air in the lower seat shrinks and the coffee is urgently absorbed. At this point, you should see that the coffee particles in the upper seat are shaped like a mountain or a semicircular sphere. Put aside the upper seat and pour the coffee under the seat into the cup. Then complete the production of a cup of siphon coffee.
