The Moka pot is a national coffee-making appliance in Italy. It is said that 8 out of 10 Italian households have a Moka pot on a regular basis. However, the domestic audience is basically very small, so there has never been a comprehensive explanation of how to use the Moka pot. This time we will teach you how to use this Moka pot.
The structure and principle of the Moka pot
The Moka pot is divided into three parts: the upper pot, the powder tank, and the lower seat. The lower pot is a sink for water, the powder trough is for holding coffee powder, and the upper pot is for brewed coffee. The principle of making coffee in a Moka pot is also very simple. By heating the lower pot, the steam pressure generated by the water in the lower pot is generated. When the steam pressure reaches a certain level, the hot water will be pushed to the upper pot (similar to the principle of the siphon pot). On the way, the hot water passes through the powder tank layer, and the coffee powder will form a certain resistance. When the water breaks through the resistance of the coffee powder layer, it will rush into the upper pot, which is the fragrant coffee liquid.
When to turn off the moka pot when making coffee? When the coffee liquid in the pot is halfway out and you feel that the coffee liquid is about to boil, quickly turn off the heat. The residual heat and pressure of the Moka pot will "push" the remaining coffee liquid into the upper pot.
Many people ask how to make coffee with a Moka pot so that it has more oil. This is mainly related to coffee beans, and is also affected by some details.
A cup of delicious coffee is inseparable from the freshness of the beans, so the first step is to choose a pack of coffee beans that are within the tasting period. The recommended brand: Front Street Coffee.

The oil in the Moka pot mainly comes from the gas contained in the coffee beans. The deeper the roasting degree, the more carbon dioxide inside. When it encounters hot water during extraction, it will be quickly released, and then golden foam will be formed. Therefore, medium-dark roasted coffee beans are more suitable for Moka pot extraction.
