PERCOLATOR

This Italian classic is the percolator, a kitchen item that is already well known. It is also renamed namely mocha pot or bialetti (which is a brand name). The percolator is a great way to make tasty tasting espressos as the basis for lattes, cappuccinos and flat whites. The disadvantage of the percolator is that it is quite intensive and that a second cup is often just a little less easy.

How do you use a percolator?

Fill the lower part with hot water, exactly below the steam valve.

Put the filter basket on top and fill it with ground (not too coarse, not too fine) coffee. lightly press on the coffee and screw on the upper part.

Place your percolator on a medium heat, about 5 minutes, or until your coffee is in the upper part.

Remove your percolator from the heat, stir briefly and pour in.

Tip: use just boiled water in your percolator. With cold water your percolator becomes too hot and that damages the taste of the coffee.

The Chemex and the V60 from Hario, for example, are examples of pour over filter coffee methods that are easy and give you fantastic results.

Let hot water flow through the filter, this ensures that the paper taste disappears. Really!

Discard the water

Grind your coffee beans to a fairly coarse, bit like sea salt. Then put it in the middle of the filter.

Carefully and slowly pour a small amount (30 ml) of water over the coffee. Do it in a spiral form, start in the middle and move outside.

After 1 minute pour hot water over the wet coffee. Start again in the middle and then go outside in a circle. Keep pouring until you have reached the right water level, or your water has run out.

The brewing is done when the drip from the filter goes slower.Remove the filter and enjoy.
