MOKA EXPRESS / GEYSER COFFEE
Coffee volcano
This coffee maker 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, through the holes in the upper part of the pipe, the already prepared coffee infusion pours out and collects in the upper part of the coffee maker. The process of coffee coming out of the tube resembles an erupting geyser, which is why the coffee made by this method is often called Geyser Coffee, and the coffee maker is called Geyser Coffee.
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 coffee maker 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 coffee with the brand new Moka Express coffee maker, it is necessary to brew and pour coffee about 3 times until the aluminum walls of the coffee maker “absorb” the required amount of coffee. 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.
