Bialetti American Pot Amerikana

With curiosity, I bought Bialetti's only American pot. What would Bialetti, who is good at making mocha pots, look like when making American pots? And also known as the recyclable system, although not interested in the light American coffee, but for this recyclable system, I bought an Amerikana to give it a try. First of all, take a look at the shape, and then explain the principle of making coffee one by one.

This is the device in the coffee pot, the rest is a shell, there is nothing left, and the cone below is a lid with a small hole to enter the water. the principle is to spray a small part of the water under the cone up the iron pipe by heating and pressurizing it, and then filter it through the powder trough above when the free fall falls. In this way, the water is continuously ejected up through the iron pipe and circulated through the powder trough. The coffee concentration can be controlled according to the cycle time, and the coffee concentration can be identified by the color of the coffee sprayed from the transparent round window on the lid. The black plastic in the middle is the scale.

The cone at the bottom of the device is placed in the pot to coincide with the base, forming an airtight space. In the upper hole, whenever the hot water is ejected upward, the air pressure leaks out, and the water flows into the small conical space through the hole to continue pressurized heating and spray again. This device is also the essence and ingenuity of the design of this pot, and the head of the Italian is still very bright.

In the powder trough, add 4 tablespoons of beans.

Now add hot water to the pot, and then put the powder trough on the iron rod, the four corners next to the fixed position of the powder trough, so that it is not easy to produce displacement. Because if the whole iron rod device in the middle produces displacement, so that there is a gap in the conical space below, the air pressure is not large enough to make hot water spray up. Although it is a small detail, it is very helpful to the stability of Amerikana.

The semicircle transparent observation port on the lid, the coffee is constantly sprayed up to the semicircle and then down, the lid must be covered during the whole production process, otherwise the coffee will be sprayed high and dangerous.

In fact, the whole Amerikana is an American machine with controllable coffee concentration, and it is also a stupid way to make it, easy to master, without any skills, and it's fun to watch the coffee roll in the pot. The light taste of American coffee is more popular, and the price is cheap and sufficient, so it is very suitable for coffee rookies to experience the fun of DIY coffee.
