The skill and proportional variable of making coffee in mocha pot the principle of using mocha pot

In this age of hand brewing, siphon and high-end espresso machines, mocha pots seem to have been synonymous with old and difficult to operate to make good coffee. Qianjie observed that coffee lovers will choose to make their own cup of coffee at home or go to a cafe to order a cup of cappuccino and other espresso with milk. However, with the popularity of Italian household class, some friends are concerned about this mocha kettle, which also has the function of home pressure extraction.

Extraction principle of mocha kettle

The structure of the mocha pot is very simple and consists of a lower pot for water, a powder trough for powder and an upper pot for coffee liquid. When heating a mocha pot, the water in the lower pot boils to form water pressure, which is sucked up through a thin metal tube. under the pressure, the water penetrates the coffee powder layer, and the espresso liquid flows to the upper pot.

Why was the mocha pot used by few people before?

This reason is very simple, mocha pot as a household appliance, in the professional degree is not satisfactory coffee machine, and China itself does not have the habit of drinking coffee, is imported. And when the people who come into contact with coffee in China belong to the group of people who get rich first, of course, those who learn coffee study major, and household appliances like these seldom take a fancy to them.

As more and more people become rich and the coffee community becomes larger and larger, some people will naturally like simple household appliances such as mocha pots. Although the coffee made from the mocha pot is not as good as the professional Italian coffee machine in terms of fat and concentration. But a professional espresso machine costs tens of thousands of yuan, and an ordinary household coffee maker costs thousands of yuan, and spending a few hundred yuan on a mocha pot can reach 60% to 70% of the coffee machine's level. This is also why the mocha pot has become the choice for many coffee lovers to make coffee at home.

In addition, the coffee made from the mocha pot and coffee pot can also be made with milk. This is sufficient for use in the family.

How to make Milk Coffee in Mocha Pot

First put cold water in the next pot (hot water is hot), then put the powder bowl in the next pot, wrap the powder bowl in a circle, fill the powder bowl with powder, and fill a small hill bag in the middle. After filling the gap of the powder bowl, press the upper pot directly and tighten it.

Then heat it on the electric ceramic stove (or the gas stove). When you hear "woo", it means that the coffee liquid begins to gush up, and then just turn off the fire and wait for the coffee liquid to come up.

The freshly brewed mocha pot of coffee was covered with golden grease, but most of the grease soon dissipated. After that, use a pressure kettle to beat the heated milk out of the foam, and then draw flowers.

Generally speaking, pull flower has a higher requirement for milk foam than espresso. Coffee liquid with grease can make the liquid surface more stable and can make some complex patterns, while without oil, the liquid surface is not so stable. Pull flowers such as embossing will seem more difficult to achieve.
