The cooking method of mocha pot

Mocha pot is a way for Italians to make coffee, which is suitable for people with strong taste. The concentration of brewed coffee is close to that of Espresso, but because it does not produce enough pressure, it cannot be called Espresso in a strict sense. The pot is easy to brew, beautiful in shape and does not take up space, so it is a more economical choice for ordinary families. However, it must be noted that the grinding of coffee powder should be finer, and the cooking time and water quantity should be mastered.

In the early days, mocha pots were mostly made of aluminum, but now they are mostly made of stainless steel.

Steps:

Step1 pours water into the lower kettle of the mocha kettle (hot water is also acceptable). Be careful that the water is not higher than the safety valve.

Step2 put the right amount of fine ground coffee powder into the middle coffee container and gently squeeze with the bottom and edge of the spoon to remove the gas from the coffee as much as possible and fill the gap on the edge of the small box. (it is best to fill the coffee container and gently flatten the coffee powder so that the water will stay in the coffee longer and the coffee will not be too thin.)

Step3 gently wiped off the coffee powder particles left on the edge of the small box with his fingers, and then put the small box on top of the lower pot filled with water.

Step4 tightens the top and bottom of the mocha pot, paying attention to keeping the pot upright so that the water doesn't soak the coffee too early.

Step5 heat the mocha pot over medium to low heat. And pour boiling water into the coffee cup and medium temperature cup.

Step6 when the water boils, the steam produced causes the water to enter the coffee through the funnel. Turn down the fire immediately (if the fire is still very big, the water will quickly filter the coffee, making the coffee sour and dilute); when there is a sound of water and bubbling in the upper pot, steam comes out in large quantities, and the aroma of coffee wafts out, it means the coffee is ready.

Step7 turns off the heat source, and after the bubbling stops, you can pour the pot of coffee into the cup and taste a cup of strong coffee.
