Demonstration of the method of making mocha pot based on basic knowledge of coffee

Fill with water. Do not exceed the pressure relief valve. Some mocha pots have safety line signs.

Separate the upper and lower seats, first heat the lower seat on the fire source, and then you can start grinding and loading powder.

Don't fill the powder when loading, just pat the powder flat and firm. If the powder is pressed, it is difficult for the water to pass through the coffee powder, or stay in the powder for too long, which can easily lead to excessive extraction.

For the extraction of espresso, the pressure of the mocha pot is insufficient, so it is easy to combine with coffee powder for too long, and because it is extracted directly by boiling water, the coffee powder should not be ground too fine, so as not to brew a cup of coffee that is too sour to swallow.

The water in the lower seat is nearly boiling and then the upper seat is turned on, so as to avoid the combination of coffee powder and water vapor in the process of boiling. As for why it is heated to near boiling, it is to avoid repeated boiling that destroys the activity of water. Of course, be safe and be careful not to get scalded.

Then, start quietly waiting for the coffee to come up.

You can turn off the fire at this time.

Add a little hot water, a small milk ball, , a cup of Americano is done.
