Stove Top Coffe Maker for Espresso Coffee Stainless Steel 122-6

The myth behind stove top coffee versus espresso coffee

Stove-top pots, sometimes, are referred to as stove top espresso makers and produce coffee with an extraction ratio similar to that of a conventional espresso machine. This depends on coffee bean variety and grind selection, Stove-top pots can create the same foam emulsion, known as crema, that conventional espresso machines can. A little secret for you…..It is claimed that adding a small amount of sugar into the water and/or the use of carbonated water will produce a beaufitul crema on the coffee.

Maintenance

After each use, a thin coat of oily coffee residue is left lining the interior of the stems, filters and upper chamber. It is often recommended to keep this layer, as in many makers it guards the coffee from contact with the aluminum wall, which otherwise might give a slight metallic taste to the coffee. After each use, a stove-top pot should be cleaned well using hot or boiling water but no soaps or detergents, which can strip away the helpful residue.
