A small bone to pick with this video. The working of the Moka Pot is oft misunderstood. What happens in the lower chamber is that a small quantity of water gets converted to steam. The steam exerts what is technically known as "vapour pressure" on the remaining water, and it is hot water (with a negligible amount of steam) that is forced by the vapour pressure through the layer of coffee. The amount of condensation happening in the hot environment within the moka pot has negligible impact on the working of the MP. In fact, the image at 9:56 captures the working of the MP very well with the differently coloured arrows.
Only a very small amount of water is converted to steam in the bottom chamber of a moka pot. The steam raises the pressure are literally pushes out the remaining water in the bottom chamber through the coffee bed. There is no significant conversion/condensation of steam back into water during this process. I realize that a correction is posted in the video description but it still misses the mark. The reason the moka pot can produce a strong cup of coffee relative to drip is primarily due to the small water to coffee ratio, and to lesser extent due to the larger operating pressures (though nowhere near espresso), and not because of steam.
I visited Baba Budankari peak in Chikkamanglur 2 yrs ago and never knew that a story about my favorite beverage is attached to this man, Baba you sly smuggler!.
It's actually Baba Budangiri, which translates to "The hill of Baba Budan". Legend has it that Baba Budan hid 7 coffee beans in his long sleeve and stitched the sleeve, and smuggled it to Chikkamagaluru and planted it there, giving Indians this magical brew... Cheers!
Always love the show. Abit of a correction on the graph about the origin of Robusta. It's cradle is Uganda, about 1221 species of Coffea Canephora(Robusta) can be traced to Kibaale Forest National Park. Its the largest Chimpanzee Sanctuary in the world.
Avoided coffee uptill now after consuming in college but gonna start now with decaf black coffee and occasionally with soy milk. Thanks for enlightening ❤
I’ve watched plenty of Hoffman videos and I’m deep into specialty coffee rabbit hole having accumulated a bunch of manual brewers and various light roast high scoring coffees. Yet I found this video intriguing and informative. It might be too much to ask but can you please do more deep dive into the world of coffee? 😃
can i ask where you source water in india? i haven't even tried making espresso in india because the water is terrible and i cant even get hold of even distilled water and use third wave water minerals.
I’m not into espresso yet. I’m currently into manual brewing using V60, Hario Switch, AeroPress and MokaPot. I just do espresso like stuff using Cafflano Kompresso for practice but it isn’t anywhere closer to a real espresso. Regarding water, I current use RO water but before I get into espresso I may need to look into third wave water or so.
I've been consuming coffee for past 10 yrs. Tried various methods. For black coffee I find light to medium roast brewed in French press just perfect. For milk ones I go with medium to dark roast, preferably in espresso maker. If not that, then go with moka pot, although it tends to burn coffee if not done carefully.
A fitting tribute for my beloved beverage. My 37.50 rubees (1 cup at AAB) : Turkish coffee made with Ibrik is pure nectar. Globally to get rid of bitter tasting coffee (gone wild during roasting or bad quality crop) the roasters added spices and or sugar and thats how hoi polloi also participated in the party of coffee habit without spending too much....Green beans are used in Kehwa to make arabic coffee. Highlighting cos these add up to the Milk-free-coffee movement. Earlier versions of Instant coffee they made Slabs of the extracted coffee, brought the temp down and then powdered and filled...blah blah blah. Stop !!!! Considering the Filter coffee was well accepted and incorporated into their daily ritual by the Tamil Brahmins, i wonder how did the 7Beans Baba Budan made his permanent stop in the houses.....Please help when time permits ... thanks for the masterclass....ps : poor cousin Chico is craving for attention
As usual your videos are top notch. A shop called "7 BEAN COFFEE" which is located in Red cross road, egmore, chennai has all kind of coffees which is mentioned in this video. A must try for every coffee lovers. Ambience also too good. Price is very reasonable. A must try is cappuccino, cheesy cake and doom mousse
Actually I am a coffee lover. After watching this video I am loving it more... Thanks for the informative video on coffee as I also believed that coffee makes us dehydrated..
I don't understand much about coffee, neither am I an expert in it. But somehow, I'm deeply addicted to it to the point of feeling like drinking coffee(flat white) everytime I hear or see pictures of coffee :)
Great stuff! Your less verbose version vis-a-vis James Hoffman's erudite yet meandering musings meant - the attention span was not challenged in any sort of compelling manner. 😉 A small note here - while you did mention the adenosine receptors, a small mention of the minimum time period one has to wait before consuming the morning caffeine shot would have been instructive to those who reach for a cup even before they get out of the bed.
As a coffee lover, I enjoyed this episode of Coffee thanks for Making the video. As a south Indian I love my South Indian Filter coffee. I also like Pour over and Moka Pot coffee :)
Did you know the difference between a Long Black and an Americano? A Long Black is brewed by pouring an espresso over hot water while an Americano is brewed by pouring hot water over the espresso
Nah, a long black and Americano has the same quantity of espresso, but the former is stronger because the water added is less than americano. Or this is what it's in the UK.
Dr Mathew walker has addressed the phenomenon of people who can drink coffee and sleep immediately. While some individuals can fall asleep and stay asleep after consuming caffeine, they are not exempt from its deeper effects. Walker explains that even if someone can seemingly sleep without issue, caffeine can still significantly reduce the quality of their deep sleep. Studies show that caffeine consumption in the evening can decrease deep sleep by 20-40%, which is akin to aging the brain by 10-15 years in deep sleep reduction. Moreover, Walker emphasizes that one may not consciously perceive the deficit in deep sleep. People can believe they slept well but still miss out on the refreshing and restorative benefits of deep sleep stages 3. This impact is due to caffeine's half-life of about 5-6 hours, meaning that significant levels of caffeine remain in the system for many hours after consumption
BRAVOOO!!!! this is one of the best channels i ever seen. extremely well explained. are you chemist? btw. i don't see the legendary turkish coffee preparation, as we did @ home in bosnia.
great info. didn't know that caffeine limits are proportional to body weight as well. good point. I've started my journey into this speciality coffee world with indian aeropress kind(for budget reasons) of one few months before and has been enjoying :)
though coffee can be consumed before bedtime, its caffeine content can reduce the quality of sleep. Research on this topic was conducted by Dr. Sachin Panda. Its always better to not consume post 2-3 pm
Hey Krish, I am having a new type of coffee here in the US from a coffee subscription called Cometeer. They flash freeze the coffee extract into single serve cups and ship it in dryice boxes. Outstanding flavour, but at a premium price
Making coffee for a long time in home like with pressure based sytem also French pour … etc but did not tried the steam based yet ..will do Your video is very informative and inspiring surely and no doubt you are one of the best in this space.. Also just came to mind would you be able to reflect little bit regarding the cholesterol effects due to Coffee consumption?
Great video. I am surprised that you didn’t mention that the brain adapts to regular caffeine intake by creating more adenosine receptors so impact is diminished. My understanding is that for alertness it is best to have caffeine in irregular doses, only having it when you most need it. Feel free to correct me, if I have misunderstood. Thanks for your videos.
At 6:30 what you call Cowboy Coffee is known as the Channi Brew here & is becoming more common with Indian Roasters now grinding coffee for that particular method
I do feel more caffeine before a good workout will help in losing weight. Not green beans, but the caffeine content in the beans will help weight loss to some extent.
Need another on coffee preparing details and more about that and less about explaining coffee! Need to know best method of preparing for best tasting coffee
Wow that cleared lot of things, excellent explanations as usual. On caffein affecting sleep, i can have coffee and sleep but if i drink more than 2 glass of coffee a day then it affects. Regular Indian coffee drinker may not like black coffee. If caffein is not so good then energy drinks are still not good to have is it?
- Timing is key. For most people, caffeine will metabolize in max 6-10 hours. But black or not, it is better to finish coffee intake before lunch. Except for rare fast-caffeine-metaboliser people who can drink in the evening or even night & sleep fine. Sleep is a top factor for health, so why take risk with late caffeine. Some experts say, some people think they sleep fine after caffeine BUT the quality of sleep is affected, they may not get much of the deep/stage-3 sleep. - Most Indians do not overdose on caffeine (max limit is 400 mg per day). Usual instant coffee powders like Nescafe have around 70 mg per 2 gram powder. Robusta can have double the caffeine thats in Arabica. - Caffeine blocks drowsiness (the adenosine stuff), so can improve activity/performance/productivity when taken after breakfast and used in moderation. It also has analgesic properties hence you see it in some pain-killer tablets alongside other ingredients like paracetamol, ibuprofen. - "Energy drinks" like sting & thumsup charged contain 72 mg caffeine per usual small bottle. Again, here what is perceived as "energy" is the removal of drowsiness load.
Thanks for all the information. But I have a Question, Why did you jump directly to no. 3? Could you please make videos about no. 1(water) & no. 2 (tea). Thanks a lot.
How about a video on how to frame a diet plan smartly to make it meet our daily nutrients and also keeping the calorie intake in limit? I'm not saying tell me dishes I can eat, I'm saying why not give a skeletal frame on which we can fit our personalised dishes. It's a request and would love to hear from you. Thank you ❤
Also krish, i like my coffee strong, ( i make filter coffee decoction) So i use 70-30 and if available 60-40 ration. Did you think the chicory is too much n harmful? Pl reply.
Personal taste, for me high chicory becomes like some random flavored drink, instead of coffee itself. I prefer no chicory or upto 15-30% for variety occasionally. In instant, try Continental Xtra 30% (don't buy packets, buy a jar, recently i found a trend across brands that they might be cheating with lower quality or stale/old matter in smaller packets) Try 20% chicory filter coffee powders from VS Mani & Continental Malgudi. Also try, for a change "Lavazza Il Mattino Vivace" (no chicory, so you need to add 1 or 2 more spoons extra to compensate for lack of chicory), a pure coffee experience. Remember that chicory adds a different taste & flavor to coffee, which some of us enjoy, at least sometimes if not daily, BUT it IS a way for companies to mask low quality coffee and make profits from masses.
Not sure if its mentioned here in the comments but robusta is "robust" because it's a cross-pollinating plant, robusta is mostly self-pollinating. Robusta has greater genetic diversity and hence, has a little of everything but arabica is concentrated and focused into itself
Informative video, Ashok! Watched this while having my morning cup of black coffee 😊. A separate video on Kopi Luwak perhaps? 😊 On a separate topic, would it possible to do a video on the role of tadka (the specific combination of oil, mustard, hing, urad dal, channa dal) in South Indian cooking pls? Some people add tadka once after the cooking is done while some start with tadka and start adding veggies, dhal, sambar masala etc to the tadka and cook. Which of the two ways is better /beneficial & why? Thanks.
Thank you. Comprehensive. Top note. We did read on a Msian-Chinese coffee package that it is roasted in margarine. Do the others roast the coffee in other ingredients to give it a more pronounced or exciting flavour?
Wow...wow...Krish you always go way and beyond to make us understand every bit of history and it's information on any subject. As a bombayite when I was very young i shifted to Bangalore for work and there i had the experience to taste the most amazing filter coffee...my addiction started from there , untill I moved to US and got to know about the expresso . And always had all the questions which you thoroughly explained and i enjoyed... Thank you, thank you, thank you 💕💕💕
Visited baba budans shrine in chikmaglur, which is visited by hindus and muslims alike and worshipped/revered. The hill where the shrine is called bab budangiri
As always A fantastic well researched comprehensive guide. Kudos Krish garu. Now, you have raised hopes for another video on the second most popular drink 😉
There are a lot of concerns about decaffeinated coffee in USA and FDA is talking about banning the decaffeinated coffee, There is a report published by the FDA and needs to look into it.
Awesome content, all your contents. Dont have the think twice while consuming your content. Appreciate the effort you put to bring the right content on social meadia. I wonder if there is a content on tea coming up!
This is amazing, Krish! Never have I enjoyed learning about coffee and retained so much information ever before. I love your script and how you structure your content. Much appreciated!
Can longer brewing time make up for lower water temperature, and vice versa, to yield the same cup? Assuming the ranges of time and temperature are reasonable and not extreme on either end.
A small bone to pick with this video. The working of the Moka Pot is oft misunderstood. What happens in the lower chamber is that a small quantity of water gets converted to steam. The steam exerts what is technically known as "vapour pressure" on the remaining water, and it is hot water (with a negligible amount of steam) that is forced by the vapour pressure through the layer of coffee.

Yes, could have been better worded, I agree
10:38 Espresso in Italian does not mean "express", and actually means "pressed out" because the coffee is extracted with pressure
Ah, noted. Will post a clarification
Only a very small amount of water is converted to steam in the bottom chamber of a moka pot. The steam raises the pressure are literally pushes out the remaining water in the bottom chamber through the coffee bed. There is no significant conversion/condensation of steam back into water during this process. I realize that a correction is posted in the video description but it still misses the mark. The reason the moka pot can produce a strong cup of coffee relative to drip is primarily due to the small water to coffee ratio, and to lesser extent due to the larger operating pressures (though nowhere near espresso), and not because of steam.

Chicory is healthy
Personal taste, for me high chicory becomes like some random flavored drink, instead of coffee itself. I prefer no chicory or upto 15-30% for variety occasionally.
In instant, try Continental Xtra 30% (don't buy packets, buy a jar, recently i found a trend across brands that they might be cheating with lower quality or stale/old matter in smaller packets)
Try 20% chicory filter coffee powders from VS Mani & Continental Malgudi.
Also try, for a change "Lavazza Il Mattino Vivace" (no chicory, so you need to add 1 or 2 more spoons extra to compensate for lack of chicory), a pure coffee experience.
Remember that chicory adds a different taste & flavor to coffee, which some of us enjoy, at least sometimes if not daily, BUT it IS a way for companies to mask low quality coffee and make profits from masses.

Not tried it myself. Do try and let me know

Best to use usual "south indian filter", simple & easy-to-clean as well.
Not sure if its mentioned here in the comments but robusta is "robust" because it's a cross-pollinating plant, robusta is mostly self-pollinating. Robusta has greater genetic diversity and hence, has a little of everything but arabica is concentrated and focused into itself

There are a lot of concerns about decaffeinated coffee in USA and FDA is talking about banning the decaffeinated coffee,
There is a report published by the FDA and needs to look into it.

Methylene Chloride,
I believe decaffeinated coffee is already banned in California,
Awesome content, all your contents. Dont have the think twice while consuming your content. Appreciate the effort you put to bring the right content on social meadia.
I wonder if there is a content on tea coming up!
This is amazing, Krish! Never have I enjoyed learning about coffee and retained so much information ever before.
I love your script and how you structure your content. Much appreciated!
Can longer brewing time make up for lower water temperature, and vice versa, to yield the same cup? Assuming the ranges of time and temperature are reasonable and not extreme on either end.
Would love to know more about Tea/ chai too. Thank you for the great content and appreciate the hard work behind it.🎉
Badly waiting for fats part-2. Hope it will be released next week.
Not sure. Let's see
Even I am waiting for the same video !
@@krishashok My caffeine deprived brain read fats as farts. A cup of coffee later, I feel farts would be an interesting topic to discuss too...
Thank you so much Sir for the insightful video. 🙏🙏🙏
Good one. Please make a video for tea as well
