Playing coffee with a mocha pot-traditional mocha pot (illustration)

The lower seat of the traditional mocha pot

1. Pour hot water into the lower seat and do not exceed the height of the relief valve.

two。 Grind coffee powder (Pegasus 1.5 is recommended). Pour coffee powder into a powder cup, but more. Smooth the excess powder with your hands or chopsticks or bean spoons.

3. Stick the filter paper on the upper seat filter, touch the filter paper with a little water to help the filter paper, and screw on the upper seat.

4. Screw on the upper seat (tighten the pressure so that it won't leak). Be careful not to rotate the handle of the mocha kettle, which can easily break the handle.

* it is easy to make the base hot by adding hot water. It is recommended to wrap a towel to help.

5. Heat it with a gas lamp fire. 6. When I saw the coffee coming out, it turned into a small fire.

7. The coffee went on to make slowly.

8. Turn off the fire as soon as the white foam is emitted. (in order to show the whitening foam, we shoot with another traditional mocha kettle.)

* cease fire by issuing whitening foam (left) and excessive fragmentation (right)

[cleaning and maintenance]

"newly purchased mocha pot":

Remove the upper seat, lower seat, filter cup, rubber washer and filter one by one to remove the grease originally coated on the metal.

Soak the newly purchased Brikka in water and add a little soda to make sure it is clean.

Boil twice in clean water.

"Clean after use":

After brewing coffee, use cold water "Brikka" to cool down. After cooling, you can easily unscrew the upper seat (it is difficult to open when the kettle is hot, violence will wear the screw marks, so be sure to open it after cooling).

After the use of the mocha pot must be cleaned, after use, there will be some coffee oil stains in the pot, if not cleaned, in the second time or another day to cook, it is easy to have a greasy taste, and the rubber gasket will be damaged by oil! The mocha pot that has just been used will be hot, but first cool it in cold water and then unscrew the upper and lower pots to clean.

The washed mocha pot should be taken apart and set aside. Make sure it is dry before assembling. After using it for a period of time, pay attention to whether the rubber gasket next to the metal filter is complete. If it does not fit, the coffee cannot be brewed!

The pressure valve of the pressure mocha kettle can be opened for cleaning, and the lower edge of the pressure valve can be fixed with one hand and turned away with the other hand.

[notes]

When cooking the mocha pot on the lamp, someone must be watching, lest the next seat boil dry.

Do not continue to heat the lower seat when there is no water, the temperature will rise and the metal will be red-hot.

Check that the rubber washer is loose and needs to be replaced.

The mocha pot will be very hot after brewing coffee. Avoid scalding.
