In this article, we’ll give you the rundown on how to make stovetop espresso.

我们将分解一个简短，简单而甜美的 - 至少，如果您添加了甜味剂 - 一套炉灶浓缩咖啡制造商的说明，这样您就可以便宜地享受一杯完美的浓缩咖啡。

How to Use a Stovetop Espresso Maker: A Step by Step Guide

让我们开始使用以下简单步骤来使用如何使用炉灶浓缩咖啡机：

Step 1. Prepare Your Moka Coffee Maker

Separate your stovetop espresso maker into its three parts:

• The lower portion for the water
• 咖啡地的过滤器
• The upper chamber for the finished coffee

Step 2. Grind the Coffee

在相当粗糙的环境中研磨咖啡。典型磨牙对于浓缩咖啡而言，这对于Moka Pot来说并不总是一个不错的选择，因为它会泄漏并引起问题。

Step 3. Add Water

Fill the lower part of your stovetop espresso coffee maker chamber with cold, filtered water. Don’t fill past the safety valve!

Step 4. Add the Coffee Grounds

Take the filter basket and fill it all the way with coffee grounds. Make sure it is full!

This is an important step, as under-filling it can cause brewing issues. Once you have a filter basket full of coarsely ground coffee, move on to Step #5!

步骤5.重新组装单元

您几乎准备好制作Moka咖啡了！剩下的就是将您的炉灶浓缩咖啡机放回原处。首先，将过滤器放回装有水的下部。然后将顶部拧紧。

Step 6. Add Heat!

这个很容易。将您的炉灶浓缩咖啡机放在炉灶上，打开炉子，等待水煮沸。大多数单元都很小，因此此过程不应需要很长时间。

不要徘徊，因为当它开始沸腾时需要在场。如果使用燃气炉，请小心火焰不会融化塑料手柄。

步骤7.服务并享受

When you hear a gurgling sound, that’s the cue that the water has made the short, hot trip north and has filled the upper chamber with some delicious coffee.

Once you hear gurgling, remove the maker from the stove and pour!

制作Moka咖啡的其他方法

Making coffee in a Moka pot might seem like the most straightforward process, but you can do it in several different ways. Sure, they’re all similar to the method from the guide above. Yet, they are different. Here’s our video tutorial on how and why to do it in two more ways.

什么是“ Moka Pot”？

Alright, it’s time to get a little technical: we’renot actually making espresso这里。

When we use a stovetop espresso maker what we’re really making is Moka coffee in a Moka pot (another name for a stovetop espresso maker).喘气！说不是这样！

而Moka咖啡是similarto espresso, it’s not quite the same as the espresso made with an espresso machine. The main difference is that Moka coffee is缺少更充气的克雷玛质地, as the water is not forced through the grounds at the same high pressure as an espresso would be.

但是，为了这篇文章，以及炉灶浓缩咖啡制造商通常被称为Moka Pots，反之亦然，我们将互换使用这两个名称。请记住，它们并不完全一样！

如果你想知道如何加热咖啡机works, How It Works explained the process perfectly (1).

顺便说一句，炉灶咖啡制造商（或莫卡锅）有时被称为咖啡渗透剂。尽管两家咖啡机共享一些相似之处，但实际上它们有些不同。这是您可以学习的地方how to use a percolator to make coffee.

炉子中的咖啡因水平顶咖啡

While many coffee drinkers genuinely enjoy each and every cup of joe, the reality is that most of us have a secondary motive in mind:caffeine.

So, what is the Moka coffee caffeine content and what is the difference between Moka vs espresso caffeine levels? Here are some facts foraverage咖啡因含量三种不同的咖啡选择：

• 咖啡（240毫升）= 105毫克咖啡因
• Shot of Moka coffee (60 ml) = 105 mg of caffeine
• Shot of espresso (60 ml) = 93 mg of caffeine

As you can see, a 240 ml cup of coffee has the same amount of caffeine found in a quarter the amount of Moka coffee, while an equally sized shot made with an espresso machine has even less.

与浓缩咖啡相比，Moka咖啡可能会从咖啡渣中提取过多。因此，请准备好一些比平时更浓的咖啡，咖啡因含量更高。负责任地喝！
