The Moka Pot is a coffee appliance that uses steam power to pressurize siphon extraction. It is suitable for outdoor camping and home use. As long as there is a heat source and fresh coffee beans, it can extract extremely concentrated coffee liquid. Then, according to different people's taste preferences, add water to the coffee to dilute it to become a Moka Pot Americano, or add fresh milk to become a Moka Pot Latte.
Like espresso, the most attractive thing about the Moka pot is that it can make coffee with golden yellow oil. In principle, it is because the carbon dioxide in the fresh coffee powder combines with the oil and emulsifies it in a pressurized vacuum environment, so it produces a golden and delicate oil foam. In other words, if you want to brew oil, you must first use freshly roasted coffee beans.
Secondly, the darker the roasted coffee beans, the more carbon dioxide will be stored in the body. The fresher the date of the coffee beans, the more carbon dioxide there will be. On the contrary, as time passes after roasting is completed, the carbon dioxide and aroma in the coffee beans will slowly be released. In this way, the coffee brewed with a Moka pot will not only lose the golden butter, but also have a weak aroma.
All Front Street Coffee beans are shipped within five days after roasting to ensure that everyone can drink and experience the charm and happiness brought by freshly roasted coffee beans.
The coffee extracted from the Moka pot is characterized by richness and solidity. Especially when making latte, it is necessary to highlight the body and smooth taste. If light roasted coffee beans are used, the extracted coffee will have a sour and bitter taste due to too high temperature and high concentration. Therefore, it is recommended that you use Front Street classic Italian blended coffee beans or medium-dark roasted Front Street Queen's Manor SOE coffee beans.
The classic blend of Front Street is a tribute to the once-popular "Mamba Coffee". This is a blend of Indonesian Mandheling beans and Brazilian Italian beans. It has the wild aroma of Mandheling and the smooth taste of Brazilian beans. The taste plays a complementary and harmonious role. Front Street's classic Italian blend is based on the Mamba recipe and adds Robusta, which fully improves the oiliness of the coffee and makes the Italian coffee body stronger. It is suitable for home production and used for latte art.
Front Street Queen's Manor comes from Brazil, the world's largest coffee producing area. It is exquisitely sun-dried. In order to retain the rich aroma of mixed nuts and the smooth feeling of butter, it is roasted in a medium-dark roast, which is very suitable for making moka pot latte 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. The coffee grinding degree should be slightly coarser than that of Italian coffee. You can refer to the size of the gap in the powder trough filter to ensure that the coffee particles will not fall into the pot. Slowly pour the coffee powder into the powder trough, tap gently to distribute the coffee powder evenly, and smooth the surface of the coffee by spreading the powder into a small hill-like shape.
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;
4. When the Moka pot heats up to a certain temperature, and when the Moka pot makes a distinct "whining" sound, set the electric ceramic stove to low heat and open the lid of the pot.
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.
6. 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. After the extraction is completed, we pour the coffee liquid into the prepared cup. Finally, we only need to add an appropriate amount of milk, and a delicious moka pot latte is ready!
Moka pot grinding size: Although it is a coffee appliance with oil, if the grinding is as fine as that of an espresso machine, it will be very easy to extract the bitter taste. Therefore, if you want to minimize the extraction of bitter substances, the grinding thickness can be ground to the thickness of refined salt.
But many coffee lovers don’t know how to determine the thickness standard, so FrontStreet Coffee has also sorted out the coffee grinding standards to share with everyone.
The standard sieve pass rate for grinding thickness of Front Street Coffee:
Ice drop＞Hand brew/Psiphon 80%> Mocha/American drip filter 75-80%>
