Coffee and Tattoos (+ bonus)

Apart from my love of coffee I also love tattoos

And more those tattoos that represent a trade, a hobbie, beliefs, passions ...

Personally I think tattoos should have a meaning, or at least an importance to be on the skin for life. But everyone has the right and the criterion that to be tattooed or not, respecting the decision of others will help not to look bad with that tattooed person.

Today I will explain the correct way to make a coffee in:

Moka express
First of all we have to know how it works and when it was created.
The moka express was created in 1930 by Alfonso Bialleti, works by steam at a certain pressure (about 2 bars), which evaporates the water inside the base, moistens the coffee, filters it and goes up to the tank to serve it. Its flavor is intense, very similar to espresso.

It extends in 3 cameras:

• One for water (A)
• One for ground coffee (B)
• One for the finished product (C)

Steps to follow:

1. Preheat the water (92 °) that will be placed in the chamber (A). This will prevent the coffee from burning. Fill it with water just below the valve.

2. Use freshly ground coffee, dry the funnel and fill it flush without compacting, use a medium / fine grind. Then it is placed carefully on the camera (B).

3. It is screwed to put to the fire, the flame does not exceed the edges of the base.

4. It will take approximately 2 minutes for the extraction to begin. Before the extraction begins, a little water is placed in the chamber (C) so that the first contact of the coffee is not the hot aluminum of the coffee maker and it does not burn.

5. At the beginning of the extraction remove from the fire. Since the coffee machine is an aluminum body, it will keep its heat, and the thermal energy will continue heating the water in the chamber (A). when the time passes, the extraction will turn pale, if you want to cut the extraction, a jet of cold water is let fall at the base, so it will cool down and stop.

How to clean it:
It is cleaned with only water, all its parts are dried and stored separately.
Once a week, clean it by placing vinegar in the base to the level of the valve, put it on fire and wait for it to be extracted, then when this warm coffee machine passes a sponge of shine.
