If you are a lover of coffee drinks, then Italian coffee is just right. There are a large number of different types of coffee, for example, cappuccino, espresso, they are popular in every city. Each coffee drink is made from espresso. For example, cappuccino is made on the basis of espresso, with the addition of milk that has already been frothed and milk foam. You can make all these types of coffee in a geyser coffee maker.
To make real espresso, you will need an expensive machine that can brew the right drink.
A geyser coffee maker is considered a smart choice for making coffee at home. Moka is a fairly simple device to use. Steam pressure is necessary in order for the water to be supplied using a filter.
Step-by-step instruction
Before you start cooking, study the design of the model, which consists of 3 containers intended for cold water, for ground grains, for the finished liquid.
Take it apart according to the instructions to get started. Fill the bottom compartment with cold water. Do not exceed the maximum fill level mark. Pour the ground beans into the coffee filter. It is better to use coarse or medium grind grains. Press the contents tightly to create a strong drink. You can use a spoon or tamper to compact it. If you don't like strong coffee, use a small separating disc.
The coffee maker consists of a lower part (where water is poured), a middle strainer and a half-portion separator (where coffee is poured), and an upper part (where brewed coffee is poured)
Reassemble the coffee maker to its original state. If you have any difficulties during the assembly process, use the attached instructions. Place the assembled unit on the stove. It takes 5-10 minutes to prepare.
Cooking time depends on the type of stove, the type of grains and the desired strength. Practice to determine the appropriate time to brew coffee in a geyser coffee maker.
When water boils, the pressure inside the container increases. Under pressure, water rises to the top and passes through the ground grains. The finished drink flows into the last container. It is not recommended to use maximum heat or cook the drink for more than 10 minutes.
Pour the required amount of water into the bottom of the coffee maker
How to choose a geyser Turk
Geyser-type coffee makers are distinguished by the material used and the volume of the drink prepared. The most common coffee makers are made of aluminum and steel.
Case material. Aluminum ones heat up and cool down faster, but are more susceptible to mechanical deformation and oxidation; steel ones are more reliable, but cooling down after use takes much longer.
Handle material. It should be taken into account that when cooking over an open fire, the body of the coffee maker will become covered with soot, and if the handle of the coffee pot is made of polymer or rubber, then with a strong open fire it can melt
This is worth paying attention to when choosing a coffee maker - bakelite handles are considered the best
Coffee pot material. There are models with a transparent coffee pot made of heat-resistant glass or plastic, where the coffee making process can be observed in all its glory.
The volume can vary from 60 ml, which corresponds to a standard cup of espresso, to 600 ml or more, depending on your needs. The appearance and design can be very diverse; coffee makers of various shapes and colors are available on the market, which does not in any way affect their consumer properties.
Recently, electric geyser coffee makers that operate from a household outlet have begun to appear on the market. The principle of operation in them is the same, however, many of them provide functions for adjusting the strength of coffee and automatically turning off after preparing the drink, which is very convenient.

Beverage quantity
Coffee maker. Everything here is simple and according to the instructions: if the model is designed for 4 cups, then you will prepare only these 4 cups.

Cooking tricks
There are several tricks on how to brew coffee in a geyser coffee maker to make it even more delicious than usual. Use coarse or medium grind beans
. The drink made from beans that you grind in a coffee grinder will be more aromatic and rich. It is advisable to grind the grains before cooking. During storage they lose taste and aroma.
Use clean cold water for cooking
. The taste depends on the quality of the water. Do not pour water from the kitchen tap into the container. Use bottled or filtered liquid. Do not take water that has been infused for a long time or has been exposed to sunlight.
The water level should not reach the safety valve
Baristas say that cold dishes spoil the taste. The cooking container and serving cups should be at room temperature
. When brewing ground beans, you can lightly moisten them with boiling water; they will reveal their flavor more fully during the cooking process. Fill the container and compact the contents to achieve the best concentration.
For cooking, select a small burner
.
Set the heat to medium and gradually reduce the power
while cooking. Do not rush to remove the coffee maker from the stove. Wait for the end of the boil to allow the liquid to sit in its own heat for 2-3 minutes.

- The coffee maker must be clean and ready for use.
Analysis of the coffee maker
- disconnect all three parts from each other (two containers and a filter);
- Make sure the mesh on the filter is not clogged. Otherwise, boiling water will not be able to get through the filter, which is very important in this process;
Filling with water
- pour purified water into the lower container;
- There are volumetric marks on the coffee maker, do not fill water above the upper marking;
- If there is no such marking, then focus on the volume of the mug from which you will drink, so as not to pour out excess coffee.
Filter settings
- most importantly, do not tamp the coffee;
- make sure that the filter is not clogged, this will lead to bad consequences;
- then secure all the parts in place.
Once you have installed the filter and secured the last top part, you need to set the coffee maker to medium heat. Or connect to the network if it is electric.
Adviсe:

You can also use the method of heating cups in the microwave. Then the cups are not only hot, but also dry.
How many spoons of coffee should I put in?
Brewing coffee in a coffee maker is much easier than in a Turkish coffee maker. Moreover, if you don’t have time to stand at the stove and control the Turk, the advantage is certainly in favor of a geyser coffee machine. This way you will save time. You won't have to clean the stove if the coffee suddenly runs out.
On average, to prepare one serving you will need 1.5 teaspoons of ground coffee. The volume of modern devices is designed to prepare from 3 to 15-18 servings. Along with regular coffee pots for cooking on the stove, there are also electric models. The difference is that they require a network connection.
What coffee to use
Ground coffee is, of course, convenient, but it is better to use whole beans. You need to grind it immediately before cooking. This way, the coffee will retain its aroma and maximum nutrients.
What kind of water should I fill?
The basis for preparing an invigorating drink is water. It is desirable that it tastes good, without any foreign flavors. You can use mineral water without gas, but it is better than regular filtered water.

Types of coffee geysers
You can study all aspects of how to use a geyser coffee maker, watch videos, but even the best device may not work if it is chosen incorrectly. This means you need to know how to choose a geyser depending on your needs and preferences.
Choose a geyser coffee maker taking into account the minimum amount of coffee you are going to prepare. If you need more, cook several times. But charging less water and hoping for a successful result simply won’t work. Often the volume is indicated in glasses, meaning that one glass contains about 40 ml of coffee. Depending on the type of heating, geyser coffee makers can be gas or electric. Gas ones usually cost less, theoretically they can even be heated in an oven or over a fire, but the downside is that they need to be monitored. The electric one will turn off itself when the water and steam in it run out. Some new electric geysers can even make latte or cappuccino, but such models are usually quite expensive and require especially careful care. Material is another important factor. Of course, it is important how long the item will last you and how convenient it will be to wash it every time. The lightest ones are made of aluminum, they are inexpensive, but for a while you can feel the metallic taste of the drink when you prepare it. Steel ones do not impart any aftertaste, and in addition, they do not deform, and are usually easy to clean even in the dishwasher
There is also ceramics - it looks very beautiful, as a rule, it runs on electricity, but like other ceramic dishes, they break easily if handled carelessly. However, a big plus is that ceramics do not affect the taste of the finished coffee in any way.
