Kitchen friend @RoryZ is not only a coffee lover, but also a coffee equipment lover. She has a collection of various hand-poured coffee pots, Aeropress, Moka pot, capsule machine, semi-automatic espresso machine, etc., almost like a small coffee shop. But her favorite is the Moka pot, which is the most beautiful.

In addition to busy study and work, more and more people begin to pay attention to the ritual of life. Being able to enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee at home can not only wake up your sleepy self in the early morning or afternoon, but also make your life more refined.

The coffee brewed in a moka pot is richer and more fragrant than the hand-brewed coffee. Compared with the equally strong espresso, the moka pot is cheaper and smaller than the Italian coffee machine. Coupled with its super high appearance, it can be said to be a cost-effective player among strong coffees and has always been loved by everyone.

Friends who often visit INS may have noticed that many bloggers’ photos contain a coffee pot with a slightly industrial feel. It can be used in almost all home furnishing and photography styles. That’s the moka pot!

When talking about Moka pots, we have to mention Bialetti. After all, the first Moka pot in history was born in this Italian factory. It has been at the forefront of fashion since 1919 and has launched many special styles, such as the tricolor flag in my hand!

Although the moka pot is called Mocha, the coffee brewed there is not the common mocha coffee with milk sold in stores, nor is it espresso, but a strong coffee that is unique to it .

Since the water temperature is high during brewing, you still need to be careful if you want to make a delicious cup of coffee. Let's follow Xiao Z to unlock some tips~

1 | Take the coffee pot for three people as an example, select 20g of medium-light roasted beans and grind them. Note that the grinding degree should be coarser than that of Italian coffee. The higher water temperature can reduce the acidity, and finally form a uniform and balanced flavor. However, it still depends on the quality of the coffee beans~

2 | Spread the powder evenly in the powder trough, but be sure not to press it down!

3 | Add hot water to the bottom pot, and the water level should be lower than the safety valve . The general instructions for use are to add cold water directly, but the coffee powder is actually heated during the process of adding hot water, which can prevent the final extracted coffee from being too bitter. Be careful when assembling, the bottom pot is very hot at this time, remember to wear heat-insulating gloves when operating !

4 | The upper pot must be kept clean . Don't listen to the legend about coffee stains. Residues are also one of the reasons why the finished product has a bad flavor. Place the moka pot on an open flame or electric ceramic stove, and heat it with a high fire about the diameter of the pot bottom. When you start to extract, you can reduce the fire appropriately. When the extraction is almost done and you can hear the sound of steam and water mixing, you can remove the fire and rinse the outer wall of the lower pot with cold water to cool down and stop the extraction~

The brewed coffee may have a little turbidity at the bottom, which is normal. If you want a more refreshing taste, you can use it with a round filter paper . The rich mocha pot coffee is also very versatile when drinking. The most common way is to add water directly, which is a full-flavored American coffee.

Mix with iced milk for a refreshing iced latte:

Make a cappuccino by frothing hot, thick milk:

You can also pour the coffee liquid directly on the vanilla ice cream, and the popular affogato in the coffee shop is ready~

It is also perfect with various snacks!

1 | With caramel walnut bread

2 | With wheatgrass scones

Even if it is just placed in a corner of the house, it is a beautiful scenery~
