The moka pot is a tool for extracting the base of espresso coffee. At first, it became popular in Italian households because of the convenience of coffee making operations. Later, it gradually developed into an Italian national product and sold to the world.

The structure of the moka pot is divided into upper, middle and lower layers. The bottom seat is a sink for water, the powder tank in the middle contains coffee powder, and the upper seat contains the extracted coffee liquid. Its principle is to heat the water in the lower pot into steam, and use the pressure of the steam to push the water to the duct into the powder tank to extract the coffee liquid, and then continue to push up through the duct to the upper pot to aggregate and flow out.

The coffee made by the moka pot is an espresso-style extraction that restores the strength and flavor of the original Italian coffee, Espresso. It should be noted that the coffee powder of the moka pot is sometimes different from the coffee powder of the American coffee machine, so you should pay attention to it when you buy it.

 

Espresso Machine – Espresso

This type of coffee machine is rarely used at home, except for some professional coffee lovers. It is actually a home version of the coffee machine used by Costa and Starbucks. Espresso contains more caffeine per volume than other coffee drinks, but because of its smaller serving volume, the total caffeine content is lower.

The espresso is brewed at high pressure for a short time, so that the taste is stronger than other brewing equipment. However, due to the short extraction time, the caffeine component is less. Espresso is often used as the base for coffee beverages such as lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, and mochas that incorporate other ingredients, such as milk or cocoa, without over-diluting the coffee ingredients.
