How to make coffee in a geyser coffee maker?

Many people begin their morning with a special ritual: brew a cup of aromatic coffee and slowly wake up, enjoying the taste.Today we will talk more about how to properly brew this charming drink in a geyser coffee maker.

The history of coffee has several centuries. Now for us to prepare a cup of refreshing drink at home is not difficult. Copper Turk became the first device for making coffee. It was invented by the Turks. They heated this device on hot sand or open fire.

In the first half of the XIX century, Jean-Baptiste de Bellua (Parisian archbishop) invented a drip-type coffee maker. Its mechanism was simple: boiling water passed through the ground grain, and then fell into a special container.

Two decades later, an overturning coffee maker appeared, and the drink brewed in it turned out to be more saturated and strong. This option was proposed by a certain caster - Maurice, who only improved the drip model. The next invention was the filtration coffee maker. Only in 1827 did the world first see the geyser model, which we describe in this article.

Initially, coffee makers were made of aluminum. Over time, they improved. Now in demand are ceramic and steel models. There are also electrical appliances and gas coffee makers. The latter are considered classic. Prices vary depending on materials, features and volume. But their structure is almost the same.

The design contains three large parts:

• water compartment below;
• filter for sleeping grains;
• top tank in which the finished drink is made.

The mechanism is based on steam pressure on the water. An emergency valve is located on the side of the device in case the vapor pressure becomes too strong. The compartment for the finished coffee at the top of the device is protected by a filter so that the cake does not get inside. Both parts of the device (upper and lower) are tightly fastened together with thread and a hermetic gasket. As heating on the stove at the bottom of the water vapor is released, pushing boiling water through the filter into the compartment with grains. The action continues until the water in the lower tank exceeds the filter. Then only steam will come up.

The saturation of the drink depends on the proportions of ground composition and water. For one cup, about 1.5 spoons of coffee will suffice. When buying a coffee machine, consider the size of your family, since you need to download it completely. On average, this type of coffee maker is able to brew 3-5 cups of coffee in one use.

Making coffee at home is easy. It only takes 3-5 minutes. Follow the following instructions:

• divide the top and bottom of the device;
• Pour purified water into the lower bowl to the mark or safety valve;
• pour the ground coffee evenly into the filter, smooth with a spoon, but do not condense (spices can be added);
• clean the edges of the filter from powder particles so that the coffee maker is sealed;
• screw the top part tightly to the bottom;
• put the machine on a low fire (for electric stove - the minimum power), if you make coffee over high heat, the drink may have a bitter taste;
• remove the coffee maker from the stove when the water stops flowing into the upper bowl (you will understand by the sound);
• leave the coffee to stand for another minute, and then pour the finished drink into mugs (preferably warm ones);
• wait for the coffee maker to cool down if you plan to cook a few more servings.

Let's get acquainted with a number of useful recommendations for making coffee in a geyser coffee maker.

• to preserve the taste and aroma, it is recommended to grind the coffee just before preparation;
• Before using the coffee maker for the first time, you need to wash it, boil water in it, then make one or two mugs of coffee and pour them into the sink, since the taste will be specific;
• it is desirable to pour purified water, as this affects the taste of coffee and protects the walls from scale;
• make sure that the coffee maker is tightly screwed;
• do not use fine grinding, otherwise the filter may be clogged (besides, fine grinding may make the drink bitter);
• if the drink is not saturated, you should reduce the grinding;

• do not open the machine until the coffee has cooked, so as not to burn yourself or spoil the drink;

• if you pour the coffee in pre-heated mugs, the drink will be more delicious and fragrant;
• if at the bottom of the cup you notice a precipitate, the next time you should use a larger grinding;
• for a variety of taste add spices, toppings, milk;
• boil the water in advance in a separate dish, and then pour it into the machine (this method will reduce the bitterness of the drink, because when pouring cold water, ground coffee burns);
• when all the boiling water is poured into a container of ground coffee, steam starts to flow in there, which dilutes the taste of the espresso and to avoid this, hearing the characteristic sound at the end of the process, cool the device body under cold water.
