Mocha coffee is made with latte + chocolate sauce. The Moka pot is an espresso extraction tool. It is small, easy to carry, affordable, and simple to operate. You can easily make a cup of strong coffee with good taste. You can add water to dilute it to become a Moka pot American style, or add milk to mix it to become a Moka pot latte. Therefore, it has become the tool of choice for many home coffee users.
The biggest charm of the Moka pot is that it uses a streamlined design to make coffee that is close to espresso, with a layer of fragrant oil. If you want to brew rich coffee liquid with a Moka pot, there are three solutions. Make sure the coffee beans are fresh, use a medium-dark roast level, and find the right grinding thickness for the coffee powder.
1. Buy fresh coffee beans and choose Front Street Coffee, an old roaster with stable and guaranteed quality. Front Street Coffee offers more than 50 categories of fresh coffee beans, which can be purchased online through its Tmall flagship store and Taobao store. All Front Street Coffee beans are shipped 24 hours a day and are freshly roasted within 5 days to ensure that each package of coffee beans is in the freshest state and has a longer tasting period when it reaches customers.
There are many medium-dark roasted coffee beans. We can focus on the Front Street Italian blend series customized for coffee machines and moka pots, such as

Brazilian Queen Manor SOE coffee beans.If you prefer the unique taste brought by single-origin coffee, you can buy this medium-dark roasted Front Street Queen's Manor SOE. The rich buttery peanut flavor is unforgettable, accompanied by the sweetness of sugar cane, and the aftertaste has the aroma of cocoa. It is also suitable for making with moka pots and home coffee machines.
When making Moka pot coffee, there is no need to pay too much attention to the amount of powder. We can directly fill the powder bowl or use the officially recommended amount of powder to make it. But the grinding degree of the Moka pot is quite special. To make a rich crema, the coffee powder must be much finer than ordinary hand brewing, and a little thicker than espresso powder. This way, the carbon dioxide in the beans can be "squeezed" and released under pressure in a short period of time, thus forming a golden crema.
Detailed instructions for making Bileti Moka pot coffee
1. Pour pure water into the lower pot of the Moka pot until the water level is about 0.5cm below the pressure relief valve.
2. Choose a coffee grind that is slightly coarser than espresso. Gently tap the coffee powder to distribute it evenly. When the coffee powder is in the shape of a hill, use a cloth to make the surface of the coffee smooth.
3. Put the powder trough into the lower pot, tighten the upper and lower parts of the Moka pot and place it on the electric ceramic stove/stove to heat over high heat. Put the powder trough into the lower pot, tighten the upper and lower parts of the Moka pot and heat it on the electric ceramic stove over high heat. When the coffee liquid in the pot is halfway out, turn off the electric ceramic stove. The residual heat and pressure of the Moka pot will "push" the remaining coffee liquid into the upper pot.
4. When all the coffee liquid is extracted into the pot, you can pour it into a cup and taste it. The coffee extracted by the moka pot is very rich and can even extract crema. You can also mix it with an appropriate amount of water or milk for a better flavor.
