Siphon coffee pot for making coffee:

A set of siphon pots, industrial alcohol, lighter, bamboo spoon for stirring, and a wrung wet rag

One , Fill the water - hook up the filter element

Put hot water into the lower pot until the "two cups" icon mark. Put the filter element into the upper pot, pull the end of the iron chain with your hand, and gently hook it on the end of the glass tube. Be careful not to release the hook suddenly with force, so as not to damage the glass tube of the pot.

2. Ignite - insert the pot diagonally - wait for big bubbles to appear

Light the alcohol lamp, Insert the upper pot diagonally so that the rubber edge is against the spout of the lower pot (don't worry, the upper pot won't fall off) and the iron chain is soaked in the water in the lower pot. Then boil the water and wait for continuous big bubbles to appear in the lower pot. Just place the upper pot at an angle, don't let it block the lower pot, small bubbles are not counted, wait for big bubbles to appear

3. Righting - insert the upper pot

In the lower pot When big bubbles appear continuously, straighten the upper pot, shake it left and right and press it down slightly to gently insert it into the lower pot. After the upper pot is plugged in, you can see the water in the lower pot begin to rise... If you have a grinder, you can start grinding the beans now! Use three spoons of coffee (about 24 grams) for two cups of water, about a medium grinding scale

Four. Let the water in the lower pot completely rise to the upper pot

After the water has completely risen to the upper pot , don't rush, wait a few seconds, wait until the bubbles rising to the upper pot are reduced, and then prepare to pour the coffee powder.

5. Pour in the coffee powder - stir (turn it left and right)

Pour in the ground coffee powder, stir it left and right with a stirring bamboo spoon, and spread the coffee powder evenly To the water. Start timing while stirring for the first time.

The stirring action should be gentle and avoid violent stirring. If it is fresh coffee powder, it will float on the surface to form a powder layer. At this time, the coffee powder needs to be stirred up so that the coffee flavor can be fully extracted. The correct stirring action is to move the bamboo spoon left and right, and use the "force" of downward pressure to "press" the coffee powder floating on the water surface into the water below.

6. Stir twice more - turn off the heat

After the first stirring, time it for thirty seconds, do the second stirring, then time it for twenty seconds, do the final stirring - that is The alcohol lamp can be moved away. Take a slightly wet rag that has been prepared in advance (wrung out) and gently wrap the side of the lower pot from the side. Do not let the wet cloth touch the area where the alcohol lamp flame contacts the bottom of the lower pot to prevent the lower pot from breaking. At this time, you can see that the water in the upper pot is quickly "pulled" to the lower pot. If your coffee is fresh enough, there will be a lot of light brown foam in the lower pot at this time.

7. Completion:

After the coffee is sucked into the lower pot, hold the upper pot with one hand , hold the handle of the lower pot with one hand, and gently shake the upper pot left and right to pull the upper pot away from the lower pot.

Pour the coffee into a warm coffee cup and enjoy the fragrant coffee prepared by yourself!

Making coffee with a Moka pot

1. Please use dark roasted coffee beans, grind them finely, and add coffee powder to the filter in the middle layer. At this time, you can Knock the filter on the table a few times to make the coffee powder more dense and without gaps in the middle. You can use the bottom of a coffee spoon or other utensils to press the coffee powder firmly. In this way, the greater the pressure formed by the coffee, the more pressure it will have on the coffee through the hot water. Extract the aroma inside the coffee.

2. Pour cold water into the lower pot, and the amount must be moderate. There is a horizontal bar mark on the inner edge of the mocha lower pot, indicating that the water level cannot be higher than this, otherwise, the cold water will It will overflow into the coffee powder in the middle layer, destroying the aroma of the coffee, and causing holes in the densely packed coffee powder, where the hot water will concentrate and pass through, resulting in insufficient extraction.

3. Use Wipe off the coffee powder left on the top and edge of the filter with your fingers, so that the upper and lower pots can be fully tightened. Once debris is stuck in the middle to form a gap, the pressure will leak out, affecting the quality, and even making it impossible to push hot water to the upper pot. , the result is no coffee to drink.

4. Tighten the upper and lower pots tightly and close them together; at the same time, keep the upper and lower pots from tilting, otherwise the cold water will overflow into the coffee powder in the middle layer.

5. Start the fire source. After the lower pot is heated, the hot water will be compressed by the expanding air and begin to flow upward through the coffee filter in the middle layer. The initial fire source should be set to low heat. Medium heat. Use medium heat for large pots (for example: more than 8 people) to avoid heating for too long. Use low heat for small pots to avoid cooking the coffee too quickly.

6. When you hear the miming sound The sound of boiling water (it’s not loud, so you should listen carefully) means that the hot water has begun to penetrate the coffee powder and enter the upper pot. After a while, turn off the heat and let it sit for 30-60 seconds to allow the residual heat to continue to absorb the remaining water. Push all the hot water into the upper pot. If you are not sure whether the hot water has entered the upper pot, you can open the lid and observe the water inflow. The number of times should not be too many.

7. Regardless of whether the pot is large or small, When the water boils, it is recommended to lower the heat to a low heat to prevent the hot water from penetrating the coffee powder too quickly, resulting in insufficient extraction and too sour coffee.

8. Wait until all the hot water returns to the upper pot. , you can put the coffee into the coffee cup and enjoy the fragrant coffee.
