Last Updated: 2024/09/19, Should the coffee powder be compacted when brewing coffee in a mocha pot? One of the ways to use the mocha pot seen on the Internet is to put the coffee powder and compaction, and the other is to gently scrape the surface after putting the coffee powder away, which is the right method, or both, but the cooking is not the same. It needs a little pressure, Mocha.

When making coffee in a mocha pot, many friends don't know how thick the coffee powder is. It is also not clear how to fill the powder. Is it necessary to press the powder? If you have the same question, you will find the answer below.

First of all, the coffee powder in the mocha pot needs to be ground.

The coffee powder needed for the mocha pot is about 0.3-0.55mm in diameter, which means it doesn't feel as rough as sand, but it doesn't have the same flour-like fineness as coffee powder used in an Italian coffee machine. You can have two ways to survey, the first is to buy powder ruler or mocha special powder to refer to; the second is through constant debugging, generally not many times, testing 3-5 times can basically find out, coarse powder, coffee liquid will gush quickly, may also be like a fountain, fine powder, you hear the sound of boiling water, coffee liquid has not come up, it is fine, I suggest you turn off the fire as soon as possible. Remember to take safety measures when doing this kind of debugging.

Do you need powder for the mocha pot?

Through many experiments in Qianjie, it is concluded that this is not necessary, because if the strength of the pressing powder is not mastered, the coffee powder will probably be pressed so firmly that the water cannot penetrate the coffee pressed powder, which is very dangerous. Of course, some friends are worried that the unpressed powder may have a "channel effect" and the coffee liquid will gush out.

The following front street to accept this powder filling method, can effectively avoid this phenomenon, and the extracted coffee oil is very rich.

Wrap the powder bowl with your right hand, and then fill it with powder. There is no need to squeeze it so that it is in a fluffy state. It is piled into a raised hill in the middle, which does not need to be paved, because the filter cover of the upper pot is also raised upward. Then press the upper pot vertically and tighten it. Be sure to remove the coffee residue on the thread. (note that the coffee powder must fill the gap around it.)

The coffee grounds extracted in this way are solid and will not fall apart. And the extracted coffee oil is very strong.
