When you are used to drinking coffee made by commercial coffee machines outside, when you return home, it is not an easy task to recreate the taste of the coffee shop outside. Due to lack of funds and space, I had to use a Moka pot to brew the rich and mellow coffee I wanted.
The operation of the Moka pot is not difficult. As long as you have good coffee beans and follow the steps, you can make delicious black coffee or milk coffee.
The first step is to pour hot water into the lower part of the pot to 0.5 cm below the pressure relief valve, then pour the ground coffee powder into the middle powder trough, and gently tap it left and right to distribute the coffee powder evenly and evenly. Put the powder trough into the lower pot, and then tighten the upper and lower pots. Finally, place the entire Moka Pot on a heating device for heating.
When the Moka pot reaches a certain temperature, the Moka pot will make a sound similar to "Wooing". At this time, you need to reduce the heat of the heating device and open the lid of the upper pot. Soon, coffee liquid gushes out from the upper pot. Pick up the Moka pot and turn off the heating source. Finally, you will get a cup of coffee with strong aroma and rich taste.
Some friends want to use a Moka pot to brew the oil that is only available in espresso machines. So how should the parameters be adjusted to achieve this amazing effect?
In fact, the oil in espresso coffee is composed of countless carbon dioxide bubbles. When the coffee powder is ground to a finer degree, the contact area between the hot water and the surface of the coffee powder particles increases, and the gas emission will become more intense, resulting in a dense and golden layer of coffee oil.
Therefore, if you want to brew a 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.
