INFO: Espresso, moka, mocha, coffee? Which one is it?

Such coffee makers are often called espresso pot in Germany, although they are not made / suitable for the preparation of espresso, as known from an espresso machine. However, since in Italy a normal coffee is usually understood to be a small and quite strong coffee, which according to German understanding is more similar to an espresso, the term espresso pot has become common in Germany for this type of coffee maker.

The term Caffettiera is also commonly used in Italy for such a coffee maker.

If you don't like coffee so strong but want to make it this way, you can also dilute the finished coffee well with hot water for a kind of Caffè Americano, or take the strong coffee as a base and add milk or milk foam for a delicious mixed coffee drink.

How does a coffee maker like this work?

1. Fill water into the water container, no more than just below the safety relief valve, never above.
2. Insert the funnel insert and fill it with ground coffee.
3. Screw the coffee container together with the seal onto the water container.
4. The coffee maker is then placed on the stove and heated at low heat (!).

The pressure of the boiling water forces it through a riser tube into the funnel insert in the center of the pot through the coffee powder located there. The finished coffee is then pushed further up through a strainer and up a second riser tube into the coffee container.

PfannenProfis application and service notes:

The white lacquer may have occasional small blemishes around the edges; this is not subject to complaint.

Always keep the funnel insert and the sieve insert clean. If the inserts are clogged, the safety overpressure valve may respond and release hot water and steam to the outside!

Do not compress the coffee powder in the funnel insert, but rather loosen it up if necessary, so that the water can easily and evenly penetrate the powder. The coffee should not be ground too finely, otherwise the powder can be pressed through the strainer holes.

Always heat only at low power, otherwise the small container will overheat very quickly and sometimes suffer damage. The quality of the coffee can also suffer if the water boils too intensively, is forced through the coffee powder too quickly, and the coffee then comes sputtering out of the top riser tube. The goal is to have a slow and steady flow of coffee from the riser tube.

Watch the boiling process carefully: When the water supply in the container is nearly exhausted and the rising liquid therefore begins to sputter or become foamy, you should immediately turn off the hob and remove the coffee maker from the hob. Intensive brewing for too long may cause the coffee to become very bitter.

Always clean all components of the coffee maker thoroughly after draining and cooling.

* With conventional stove types (gas, electric mass, radiant heat/glass ceramic), the cooking zone/flame must not be larger than the base of the coffee maker! If necessary, use an adapter plate.
