The difference between a mocha pot and a coffee maker

First, the difference between mocha pot and coffee machine1. Different shape and structureThe mocha pot is a tool used to extract espresso. To this day, its appearance has changed slightly, but the basic structure has not been removed from the prototype of the coffee pot, its structure is divided into two layers, the lower pot for the water storage layer, the upper pot for the extraction of coffee layer, the middle is placed coffee powder mesh filter. Most coffee machines are boxy, bloated, giving people a "clumsy" feeling; The moka pot is small and graceful, suitable for take-away travel, convenient and portable.

2. Different working principlesMoka pot uses the principle of steam pressure, so that the water inside the pot in the open fire heating to produce steam, steam accumulated pressure will push the hot water to the pot, squeezed water through the funnel through the pipe through the coffee powder to the pot. Normally, the moka pot can gather 1-1.5 air pressure. The types of coffee machines are different, the working principle is naturally different, according to the working principle is mainly divided into drip coffee machines and high-pressure steam coffee machines. Drip type is when the power is turned on to turn on the switch, the indicator light is on, and the heating tube begins to work. When there is no water in the tank, the temperature rises, and when it rises to a certain temperature, the thermostat is disconnected and the heating tube stops working. When the temperature begins to drop, the thermostat returns and the heating tube continues to work, thus reaching insulation. The working principle of the high pressure steam coffee machine: the coffee pot has a high pressure chamber, when the water begins to produce a large amount of steam can not be discharged through the small hole, so that the pressure in the high pressure chamber is greater than the atmospheric pressure, so the water rises along the water pipe, the steam pressure produced in the chamber flows down to the coffee filter, and the coffee seepage from the bottom flows into the coffee cup. There is a safety valve at the top of the high pressure chamber, which can be opened to use steam to bubble the milk.

3. Make coffee taste differentThe coffee produced by the moka pot is of lower concentration, lighter taste, relatively low sour point and bitter point, almost no oil, and relatively low alcohol, which is usually used for direct drinking.When the coffee machine makes coffee, it is usually formed by rotation under high temperature and high pressure and fine salt film, so the coffee produced is very high in acid point and bitter point, rich in oil, which is usually suitable for drinking with milk.

4. Different methods of useThe steps of making coffee in the moka pot are a little more complicated than the coffee machine, first of all, you need to add cold water not more than the safety valve in the lower seat of the moka pot; Then add medium fineness ground coffee powder in the funnel, and smooth the surface of the powder can not be pressed; After wetting the filter paper, lay it flat on the metal filter net; Finally, tighten the upper and lower seats of the moka pot to prevent air leakage and heating.The coffee machine is more automated and intelligent, like one-button coffee production, one-button carb, one-button hold, etc.

5. Different types of coffee beans are usedUsually when using a moka pot to make coffee, the coffee beans placed are generally single coffee beans, it is recommended that it is best to medium-fine grained coffee powder, so as to ensure the taste of coffee. The coffee beans used in the coffee machine are usually Italian mixed coffee beans.

6, cleaning difficulty is differentMoka pot cleaning is relatively simple, just need to pour the coffee grounds, all parts can be disassembled under the faucet rinse, as long as remember to wash after drying; The coffee machine should avoid internal parts with water or some parts are not removable, which brings a lot of trouble to the cleaning work.
