The mocha pot makes its own coffee at home.

Equipment introduction: the mocha pot is a traditional appliance for brewing black coffee on an open fire (such as a stove). Its classic appearance is famous all over the world. Although it is now possible to use induction cookers to match mocha pots to make coffee, and even there are many electrically heated mocha pots for sale, its basic principles have been completely retained: when the kettle is heated, the clear water in the lower pot gradually heats up, at the same time, the air in the airtight space of the lower pot begins to expand when heated, and the hot water is squeezed through the coffee powder in the middle filter after being squeezed by the expanded air, and is squeezed into the upper pot after moderate extraction. The upper pot is a separate container of coffee liquid, in which the boiled coffee liquid will be left behind. After the production is finished, the coffee liquid in the pot can be directly poured into the cup through the outlet.

Because the mocha pot can produce 1 to 3 atmospheric pressure to extract coffee in the enclosed space, although it can not be compared with the professional Italian coffee machine which produces the ideal 9 atmospheric pressure, it is obviously better than other coffee making utensils. The coffee produced has a certain texture, alcohol thickness and relatively rich flavor. It is closer to espresso extracted by a professional espresso machine (I like to call it quasi-Espresso), so it is popular with coffee lovers. For micro or small coffee shops where baristas are highly skilled, mocha pots can also be used instead of professional semi-automatic coffee machines to highlight the traditional customs that are very different from industrialization and commercialization. For coffee lovers, the mocha pot is probably the most important household coffee appliance compared with the siphon pot.

The maintenance of the mocha pot is important in the cleaning link after use, not only can not use the steel ball, detergent is also taboo. The connection between the upper and lower parts of the mocha kettle is its vulnerability, especially the sealing ring is one of the key points of maintenance.

Steps to use:

1. Pour clean cold water into the kettle and keep the water level below the vent (the lower edge of the safety valve). Put the right amount of ground coffee powder into the filter in the base and clean up the coffee powder spilled around.

two。 Rinse the filter paper with water and gently stick it in the coffee powder and stick it around it. (using filter paper will make the taste purer, but you don't have to use filter paper at all.) screw on the pot and tighten it. Light the gas stove and start heating.

3. When heated, the water is squeezed by expanding air, extracted by coffee powder and flowed directly into the perforated upper pot, and the coffee liquid does not flow back to the bottom.

4. Stop heating and pour the coffee from the top to drink.
