Moka Pot + Penny Stove/心得：摩卡壺+自製酒精爐

Moka Pot + Penny Stove/心得：摩卡壺+自製酒精爐

I find beer can penny stove is too powerful for Moka pot. The handle of my pot is slightly burnt.
Therefore, I make a penny stove out of tealight base, and am happy with it.
For conserving fuel, time, and reduce the time of coffee powder being heated, I use hot water in my Moka pot to begin with.

我試過用啤酒罐做酒精爐來燒摩卡壺。火力太旺，將把手燒壞了一點點。所以我就用蠟燭殼做了一個小酒精爐。很好用。
爲了節省燃料、時間，並縮短咖啡粉受熱時間，摩卡壺裏放的一開始就是熱水。







Directions/做法：

1. Get two tealights/弄兩個這種蠟燭：
   
   
2. Get the bases/只用底盤：
   
   
3. Use a prier to twist the wall a bit. This procedure is to ease the combination of the two bases./用鉗子將底盤壁輕輕扭轉。這個步驟是爲了讓兩個底盤可以輕易合攏。
   
   
4. Stuff the base with cotton to reduce spilling in case of any accident/塞棉花。這是爲了萬一意外發生時減少燃料外漏：
   
   
5. Combine the two bases/將兩個底座合攏在一起：
   
   
6. Use a push pin to poke holes. Five on the top, and 16 on the side./用圖釘戳洞。上面5個，旁邊16個：
   
   
7. Tada.../完成：
   
   

It takes me less than two bottle caps of ethanol to make a 2-cup pot.
兩杯份的摩卡壺用不到兩瓶蓋的酒精。

The design of above stove is based on the following video/這個爐的設計是以下面這個影片爲基礎：
