The amount of coffee is usually 7 to 10 grams of powder can be made into a cup of about 120ml.
Second, the siphon (syphon)
One of the most popular ways to brew coffee in anecdotes. Principle: Under the combustion of alcohol lamps, when the water temperature in the lower container reaches 92 ° C, the water flow is sucked into the upper container with coffee powder, and after soaking and stirring, the coffee made returns to the same way. The siphon cooking method has a chemical laboratory feel. Some say it's because it extracts the most perfect part of coffee.

The basic principle of the mocha pot is to use pressurized hot water to quickly extract the coffee liquid through the ground coffee. The earliest mocha pot was made in 1933 by the Italian Alfonso bialetti, whose company bialetti has always been world-famous for producing this coffee pot. Mocha coffee makers are more commonly used in Europe.
The mocha pot is divided into two parts, the water is placed in the lower half to boil and boil to produce steam pressure; the boiling water rises, through the filter pot filled with coffee powder; when the coffee flows to the upper half, turn off the fire, if the temperature is too high, the coffee will produce a burning taste.
