The Moka pot was invented by Italian Alfanso Bialetti in 1933. It brews coffee by heating the base. It is a distillation type. It is the most popular type of machine for brewing Italian coffee and is commonly used in Italian families.
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 to heat over high heat;
5. 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.
Things to note when using a Moka pot:
2. Do not touch the body of the Moka pot directly after heating to avoid burns.
3. If the coffee liquid spurts out in an explosive manner, it means that the water temperature is too high. On the contrary, if it flows out too slowly, it means that the water temperature is too low, and you need to increase the fire.
4. Safety: Because of the pressure, you must pay attention to the control of the heat when brewing.
Bialetti recently released a new generation of pressurized Moka pot. On January 22, you can already see a large number of evaluation videos of the new Moka pot leaked. There are currently three models including new models, namely the ordinary single valve model, the gravity pressurized double valve, and the new pressurized double valve.
The biggest difference in design between the three is: the ordinary single-valve style has no pressurization design, while the old version of the double-valve Moka pot uses a gravity pressurization design. The new model has canceled the gravity pressurization and replaced it with a design with a built-in hydraulic layer for pressurization.
Making such changes will make the use experience easier to clean, and the quality of the brewed coffee will be better. A large number of comparison videos point out that the coffee produced by the single-valve Moka pot has less grease and dissipates quickly. The new and old Moka pots with a pressurized design produce more coffee crema than those brewed with a single valve. The coffee crema brewed by the new version is thicker and denser, and dissipates slower than the old version.
