The origin of the mocha pot

A cup of homemade cappuccino (cappuccino) can be easily made at home with a mocha pot. The mocha pot is not only easy to use, but also has a rich flavor of extracted coffee, which is more suitable for those who like espresso. So why is the mocha pot called the mocha pot? What is the origin of the mocha pot? I think a lot of friends will want to know.

Our understanding of the mocha pot is that the mocha pot is used to extract espresso. It originated in Germany and is a method of using the pressure generated by boiling water to help extract coffee. Because the steam pressure is used to extract coffee, the taste of mocha coffee is more similar to that of Espresso extracted by Italian coffee machine, so it is loved by many coffee friends.

When it comes to the origin of the mocha pot, we have to start with the origin of the mocha coffee: it is said that at the beginning of the 17th century, the first Yemeni coffee sold to Europe was exported through the ancient port of Mocha. Europeans (first of all, the merchants of Venice, Italy) call the delicious coffee from the port of Mocha mocha coffee, which is the origin of the earliest mocha coffee, and then this kind of coffee beans exported from the port of Mocha. It makes sense to be called mocha coffee beans.

The Europeans were the first to come into contact with coffee through the Turks, first introduced into northern Italy, and the early Europeans imitated the Turkish way of drinking. Italian espresso comes from Turkish coffee, but it takes too long to meet the needs of fast-paced society. As a result, more and more people begin to study efficient methods of making coffee. A kind of Italian mocha pot called "Moka Pot Espresso" came into being.

The mocha pot was born in 1933. Its structure has never changed, but its appearance, shape and materials are constantly changing. The earliest mocha pots were made of aluminum, but aluminum was easy to interact with the acids in coffee, producing a bad taste, and then gradually changed to stainless steel or even partly made of heat-resistant glass. The mocha pot belongs to the apparatus for extracting coffee with high pressure steam, which has the characteristics of small size, elegant appearance, simple operation, fast brewing and so on, so the mocha pot is very suitable for family use.

Although the coffee extracted from the mocha pot is not really espresso, it can be said to be double's single coffee.
