The geyser coffee maker, or moka, is most popular in European and Latin American homes. In our country, this device is just appearing, although acquiring it is no longer difficult. Many people still believe that coffee brewed in a Turk is the most delicious. However, a geyser coffee maker can easily compete with this opinion.
Advantages of a geyser coffee maker
Geyser coffee makers are small, designed for preparing one serving of coffee, and designed for a company of several people. They are made from steel or aluminum.
Comparing the moka with other devices for making coffee, users and experts identified a number of advantages:
- Making coffee does not require any special skills, everything happens by itself. There is no need to control the process of preparing the drink; you can calmly go about your business;
- you don’t have to worry about missing the coffee preparation time, as the device will notify you of this with a hissing sound, which indicates that all the water in the tank has evaporated;
- coffee from a geyser coffee maker has a denser consistency and richer taste;
- If you compare moka with electric coffee machines, the first option will be much cheaper.
- unlike Turkish coffee, coffee cannot “escape” in a geyser coffee maker;
- Due to the well-thought-out design of the moka, there are no characteristic grains in a cup of ready-made coffee.
To brew coffee in a geyser coffee maker you need to follow these simple steps:
- Water is poured into the lower container of the geyser coffee maker.
- Pre-ground coffee is poured into the filter.
- After this, the device is placed on the stove or connected to the mains, depending on the model of the device.
- When the water boils, its steam will rise into the strainer with ground coffee.
- Passing through the coffee, the steam cools and rises with water through the tube into a container for the finished drink.
- The top tube begins to bubble, as if a volcano is erupting.
Very successful project
The sales figures are staggering - more than three hundred million geyser coffee makers have been sold since the mid-20th century. And now, hear – ding! Someone bought a coffee maker.
