Many are the reasons that drives us to love Moka Pot!
Its simplicity, its history but also its adorable little gurgle. We also like the fact that it can produce a pretty exquisite espresso for less than 50€. Not bad at all! Don’t you think?
What You Will Need ! Freshly roasted coffee/ home Grinder / Moka pot , tamper.
TIP : Try the Moka pot espresso machine with coffees from Tanzania , Sumatra, El Salvador, Brasil. Also recommend Genesis, Prologue, Synthesis Blends for delicious espresso and Latte
STEP ONE Grind about 20-22 grams of coffee about as fine as you would a shot of espresso.
STEP TWO Fill the bottom half of your Moka pot with water that’s fresh off the boil
STEP THREE Place the Moka pot’s metal portafilter, which resemples a cap, inside the bottom component.
STEP FOUR Add your coffee and give it a gentle shake to settle it evenly. Use your index finger to distribute the coffee.
STEP FIVE Screw on the Moka pot’s spouted top. Caution! The bottom chamber will be hot.
STEP SIX Place the pot on a stove on medium heat. Leave the top lid open.
STEP SEVEN The coffee will begin to come out and you will hear a puffing sound and see a rich-brown stream that will get progressively lighter in color.( If it explodes upward, your water’s too hot, if it burbles lethargically, turn up your flame.) Once the stream is the color of yellow honey, remove from heat source with hot pads and close the lid.
STEP EIGHT Run under cold tap water to stop extraction.
TIP: We do this to prevent the coffee from developing a metallic taste. The idea here is to get a relatively small amount of coffee which is very concentrated and rich.
STEP NINE You may serve your coffee from the Moka Pot to the cups or to dilute with hot water depending on preference.
