[Music] All right guys let’s make some coffee Today i’m super excited because we have Our good friend james hoffman who’s an Amazing coffee expert uh he’s gonna walk Us through how to use one of the most Common coffee gadgets a mocha pot and i Actually first was making coffee on one Of these back when i lived in france and I had a tiny apartment and i actually Enjoyed them quite a bit they’re great Maybe like me you hated this thing for a Long time you bought it used it once you Thought it was disgusting you put in the Cupboard dig it out because actually It’s probably underrated and does Delicious things they kind of make a Coffee that’s a kind of halfway house Between espresso which is super strong And like drip coffee yeah however they Have a bad reputation because it’s Pretty easy to make bitter coffee with Them we’re going to do a couple of Things today to show you how you can Really produce something super delicious Okay first things first as with all the Brewing techniques grind size is pretty Important and actually this is where Most people make the first mistake and Produce a lot of bitterness okay we Don’t want it ground like we would for An espresso machine which is super fine Like table salt we want to go just a Little bit coarser so once you’ve ground

The coffee just take this yeah fill it But don’t push it down you just level it Off yeah what you will notice here Though is this one Is beautifully clean these are kind of Live floats around that having a buildup Of old coffee and these things is good That old stale rancid coffee is going to Contribute a little bit of bitterness to The cup too so you want to keep it nice And clean the other bit to worry about Is this little little rubber gasket here Right one you want to clean so it seals Properly sure two when you store it you Don’t want to store it so done up tight Because that adds pressure and that will Age out the rubber so just store it Loose not too tight great So what we’re going to do now is we’re Going to start on the bottom with hot Water the downside of cold is that while You’re heating your water you’re heating Up your coffee too i’ve always made mine With cold water right and heating up the Coffee means it’s going to taste a Little bit more bitter when you do so so Hot water from a kettle easiest way just Fill it up just to right below the Safety valve all right so keep going It’s right under the little valve guide There we go i can pop this in yep so When you put it together just grab a Towel because the bottom is going to be Hot now

Sealed nice and tight done and you Actually want to go straight to the Burner pretty quick yep The water in the bottom is going to Start to evaporate but it’s trapped so It’s going to build up a little bit of Pressure now i can hear it going it’s Going to apply pressure to the water Then push it through the funnel through The coffee and that’s going to do the Brewing for us once your coffee starts To flow it’ll look nice looks super Delicious Listen and wait and as soon as you start To hear a gurgling sound you want to Cool it down Take it off the stove just run it under Your coal tap in the sink gets rid of The steam Stops the brewing process So we made your mocha pot super Delicious but when i used to make it i Would take a french press on the side Heat up some milk froth it up and pour Myself a latte Yeah it looks like a doubled in volume Huh yeah Tap out the new bubbles Here we go huh Check it out Mocha pot lattes I made that one james hoffman made that One so there it is put good coffee and You use it right
