What is an induction cooker geyser coffee maker?

In a geyser coffee maker, the drink is brewed due to steam pressure, which displaces hot water from the lower reservoir into the filter funnel with ground coffee, and then into the upper part - the finished product accumulator.

Important! For an induction cooker, only those models of "geysers" are suitable, the bottom of which is made of ferromagnetic materials.

The most popular of them is stainless steel. The necessary characteristics are also inherent in cast iron.Aluminum, from which traditional geyser-type coffee makers are made, does not have such properties.

Another one a distinctive feature of induction geyser coffee makers is the size of the bottom. Its diameter is larger than that of classic models.

This is necessary so that the dishes cover most of the burner. Otherwise, heating simply does not occur.

The induction geyser coffee maker can also be used on gas or electric burners..

The ferromagnetic bottom does not interfere with heating from open heat sources. In this sense, a geyser designed for induction cookers is a universal model.

Working principle of induction heating

Induction heating is based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction, i.e. the effect of the appearance of an electric current in a closed circuit due to a change in the magnetic flux passing through this circuit.

A hob or stove that works according to this principle has glass-ceramic (most often) the surface under which there is an induction coil, through which an electric current flows with a frequency of 20 - 60 kHz.

During the passage of high-frequency alternating current, a pulsating magnetic field appears in the coil.

If at this moment a material with magnetic properties appears on the surface of the plate, it begins to generate electric current that heats up.

Hot dishes, in turn, transfer heat to both the products in it and the surface of the stove.

Advantages

The induction hob is a modern kitchen equipment, which has a number of properties that are attractive to the user. Among the main advantages for making coffee the following can be distinguished:

Induction heating provides gradual increase in water temperaturewhich prevents the coffee from burning.
Cooking speed. Due to the fact that induction heats water very quickly, brewing time is noticeably reduced.
Safety. The risk of burns is minimized as the cooking surface automatically turns off when removed coffee makers from its surface.
Ease of use. Caring for an induction hob is quite simple, because it cools down to ambient temperature in seconds. If the coffee "runs away" and spills onto the stove, it will not burn and can be easily removed.
Such devices are usually equipped with temperature sensors, clearly maintaining the set heating, and a timer that controls the duration of cooking. Thus, it becomes possible to program the cooking process literally every minute.
The burners have a smooth surface and do not protrude above the hob. That's why the coffee maker can be moved in any direction.

How to brew coffee?

Disassemble the coffee maker.
Pour cold water into the lower tank.
Fill the filter funnel with ground coffee.
Assemble the device.
Set it on the work surface so that the bottom covers most of the burner.
Turn on the stove. Select a mode. If the instructions do not contain information about a special mode for making coffee, select the power of 70 - 80%, and then reduce it to 50%. This will ensure uniform and smooth heating.
Wait for the moment when all the liquid goes to the top. Now the geyser can be removed from the stove and pour the drink into cups.

Advice! It is better not to brew flavored coffee in a geyser coffee maker: it is not known how the essences will manifest themselves with intense heating.

You can make a drink with spices (cinnamon, cardamom, cloves).To do this, they must be ground and mixed with coffee grounds before brewing.

How to choose?

When choosing a geyser suitable for induction, you should consider a number of factors:

The material from which the bottom of the fixture is made. The best option would be stainless steel. To determine if the cookware is suitable for an induction cooker, simply place a magnet on its bottom. If it is attracted and holds, then the container is suitable. Otherwise, no.
The bottom diameter must be greater than 12cm (that is, not less than 1/2 the diameter of a standard burner).
The thickness of the bottom should be from 2 to 6 millimeters.
Pay attention to the handle, evaluate its convenience. Models where it is made of a non-heating material have an advantage (for example, Bakelite).
Think about how many servings you plan to cook at a time. Manufacturers offer coffee makers designed for a different number of cups of the drink. The design feature of the geyser is such that a strictly defined amount of coffee is brewed in it.: if it is designed for 3 servings, then more or less at a time will not be able to cook.

Reference! Cookware designed for induction heating usually has a special icon - several vertical loops, accompanied by the inscription "Induction".

What is a drive adapter?

An adapter or adapter in this case is called a device that allows you to use dishes for cooking on an induction hobmade from materials unsuitable for these purposes.

The adapter, which is a disk 3-6 mm thick, consists of several layers.

Thick metal circles have a structure similar to a sandwich, with ferromagnetic layers in the composition, or are completely made of ferromagnetic steel.

Such adapter replaces the magnetic bottom, which is equipped with specialized dishes. Installed on the hob, it will transfer heat to the bottom of the vessel placed on it. Adapters with a diameter of 12 to 14 mm are suitable for coffee makers.
