Introduction of coffee brewing method: detailed introduction of the brewing method of mocha pot and matters needing attention

If you use a mocha pot to make exciting coffee, you must master some small secrets. No. 1 will provide you with the following methods for reference:

1. Pour fresh cold water into the next pot, and the quantity must be moderate. There is a bar mark on the inner edge of the lower pot of Moka Expess, indicating that the water level should not be higher than here, otherwise, cold water will overflow into the middle coffee powder, destroying the aroma of coffee, and causing loopholes in the compacted coffee powder, and hot water will be concentrated through this, resulting in insufficient extraction.

Please use deep-roasted coffee beans, fine grind, and add coffee to the middle strainer. At this time, you can tap the filter on the table to make the coffee powder more dense and there is no gap in the middle, and you can use the bottom of the spoon or other utensils to press the coffee powder hard. In this way, the greater the pressure formed by the coffee, the alcohol inside the coffee can be extracted by hot water.

3. Wipe off the coffee powder left on the top and edge of the filter with your fingers, so that the upper and lower pots can be fully fastened. Once sundries get stuck in the middle, it will cause pressure leakage, affect the quality, and even cannot push hot water to the pot. As a result, there is no coffee to drink.

4. Tighten the upper and lower pots and close them tightly; at the same time, keep the upper and lower pots from tilting, otherwise cold water will overflow into the middle coffee powder.

5, start the fire source, when the next pot is heated, the hot water will be compressed by the expanding air and begin to flow through the middle coffee filter to the upper pot. At first, the source of fire should be small to medium heat, large pots (for example, more than 8 people) can be used over medium heat, so as not to heat for too long, and small pots should be used for small heat so as not to cook coffee too quickly.

6. When you hear the sound of boiling water, it means that the hot water has begun to penetrate the coffee powder and enter the pot. After a little while, the engine can be turned off, and calm to 30-60 seconds, let the waste heat continue to push all the remaining hot water into the pot, if you are not sure whether the hot water enters the pot, open the lid and observe the water intake, but not too often.

No matter large pot or small pot, it is recommended to reduce to a small heat when the water boils, lest the hot water penetrates the coffee powder too quickly, resulting in insufficient extraction and the formation of coffee that is too sour.

8. After all the hot water is returned to the upper pot, the coffee can be put into a small cup and enjoy.
