Second, the mocha pot coffee making skills
Tools: coffee powder, mocha pot, water, stove (ceramic stove, alcohol lamp or stove).
Steps:
1, filled with coffee powder
Put the coffee powder into the powder bowl, and gently press it when it is full! The grinding degree of coffee powder is thicker than the filter hole of the powder bowl, probably a little thicker than salt.
Step 2 add water

heat
Combine the upper pot, powder trough and lower pot of Mocha pot, and pay attention to the sealing of rubber pad and the joint of the whole pot. Turn on the small fire to heat the mocha pot and open the lid.
4, when pumping, keep a small fire.
When the water begins to boil, the steam pressure pushes it to the powder tank through the pipeline. The higher the heat, the faster the water passes through the lower chamber. We don't want the water to pass too fast, because it will lead to insufficient extraction, so we only need a small fire. You can close the lid when you start cooking, so as to retain more fragrance, and then open it after two or three minutes.
5. After extraction, turn off the fire.
Steam will slowly push the water to the top of the pot. When the water basically flows to the pot, there will be hissing and bubbles. Close the lid and turn off the fire to avoid the bitterness caused by too much steam.
Here, a cup of fragrant espresso has been cooked, which can be diluted with water, or with sugar and milk, and you can drink it as you like!
