Introduction to coffee brewing utensils: correct use and cleaning method of mocha pot

How to use mocha pot correctly

If this is the first time using a mocha pot, unscrew the top spout, remove the coffee cup, and check that the filter and rubber band under the top pot are installed. Soak the mocha pot in hot water to clean it. Then dry it and pack it as it is. And then we can start making delicious coffee.

1. First, warm water into the pot, pay special attention to the pot water must not exceed the pressure relief valve, this is a safety mechanism, can avoid the problem of excessive pressure, if blocked, it may cause unimaginable consequences. The water level is 0.5 cm below the safety valve. The safety valve will automatically relieve pressure when the pressure of the lower pot is too high to prevent safety accidents. If the water level is higher than the safety valve, the function of the safety valve cannot be played normally.

2. Heat the lower pot separately but don't put the strainer in first and don't lock the upper pot.

3. Grind coffee beans while the pot is heated. After grinding, pour the coffee powder into the filter. The amount of coffee powder can vary according to personal preference. Because the capacity of each mocha pot and coffee container are too small are different, you need to try several times to find the right amount of coffee powder for your taste. If you like a little thicker, you can fill the powder with a pressure plate, fill the flattened space, and then gently press again. The amount depends on the taste, generally 6 grams of coffee per cup.

4. When the water temperature reaches 95 degrees, put the filter filled with coffee powder into the lower pot and lock the upper pot in the shortest time possible.

5. Put the coffee pot on the heating device and steam it for a few minutes with low/medium heat. The coffee will slowly overflow to the upper layer. The coffee will flow out from the pipe of the upper pot. When you hear the hissing sound of steam, it means that the water in the lower pot has all come up. At this time, you can turn off the fire and complete the brewing process.

2, pour out the coffee grounds in the powder tank, you can use chopsticks to dig or gently use the meat in the palm to make the coffee grounds in the powder tank fall out, cut can not be hit with hard objects, so that it is easy to cause the deformation of the powder tank and make the upper and lower pots unable to close, and then rinse with water. Flushing should include every part of the entire pot. Conditional and patient can buy a brush for baby bottles to clean the pot. It is best not to use scented detergent, which will make odor residue.
