What is good geyzernaya coffee maker

What could be more popular than Italian pizza? Only Italian coffee. It was in this country that a coffee pot was invented, which gained its popularity even in the USSR. Consider how a geyser-type coffee maker works and how to use it on a gas or electric stove.

Principle of operation

Geyser coffee machines became popular in Europe, especially in Italy, where they were created. The coffee maker was also in demand in the USSR, which is why it is still called Soviet. Geysers have received such popularity due to the amazing taste of the drink and user-friendly design. The secret of incredible taste is hidden in a special principle of work. The drink is prepared by steam pressure. The scheme of action, and the external similarity with the geyser, determined the name of the device.

The device is divided into two parts: the lower one is filled with water, closed with a metal filter, and coffee is put in the upper one. After that the geyser coffee maker is put on the stove (gas, electric or induction). When boiling steam is formed. The high pressure created in the lower part allows water to rise in the tank with ground grains. In the upper section of the coffee pot, coffee is brewed directly and the finished drink is made.

The principle of operation geyzernoy coffee makers

Different models are designed for a certain number of ready portions.

Unfortunately, you can not cook in a geyzernaya coffee maker one portion of the drink, if the device is designed for three. Filling the compartment with less water or ground grain will not allow the device to work properly.

To make the coffee tasty and aromatic, use it to make only ground grain. For a more saturated taste, compact the coffee in the upper part, while not pressing it hard. You can also add various spices. This is best done before you add the coffee to the coffee maker.

Use caution when using! The water level must always be below the safety valve.
