MOKA EXPRESS / GEYSER COFFEE
Coffee volcano
DESCRIPTION
This coffee maker (Moka Express) is designed for making coffee on a gas stove, although there is also an electric version of the coffee maker.
The coffee maker consists of 3 main parts: a lower container for water, a funnel-shaped coffee rack and an upper container for ready-made coffee.
The boiling water in the lower container rises up through the funnel tube under pressure. Passing through the mesh rack, the boiling water infuses the coffee in it and continues up the tube. Then prepared coffee flows through holes in the pipe and collects in the upper part of the coffee maker. The coffee erupts from the tube like a geyser, leading to the names “Geyser Coffee” and “Geyser Coffee Maker.”
The principle of making geyser coffee was invented in 1833 by an Englishman named Samuel Parker. A hundred years later, in 1933, the Italian industrialist Alfonso Bialetti patented this device under the name “Moka Express”. His coffee maker was made of aluminum and had a polygonal exterior. It is produced in its original form to this day.
To make your new Moka Express ready, you’ll need to brew and pour coffee about 3 times. This allows the aluminum walls to absorb the right amount of coffee for future brews. Otherwise, the aluminum will transfer an unwanted and unpleasant taste to the coffee.
Moka Express coffee maker is very popular in Europe and in Latin American countries.
PREPARATION
- Fill the bottom vessel of the coffee maker with water up to the level of the whistle
- Install the metal filter
- Pour the ground coffee into the filter and smooth it with a spoon (do not press it hard so the water can pass through it).
- Put the last – upper vessel and tighten
- Put the coffee pot on the gas stove and cook on medium heat
- When the coffee maker starts making noise, it means the coffee is ready
- Turn off the gas stove and wait about 30 seconds until the coffee “rests”
- Pour coffee into mugs and serve
