I hope no one minds if I keep posting these little videos here, as hopefully they are of interest:
Stovetop/Moka Pot Method
This isn't a method to try and make espresso with one, instead to get as good a tasting cup of coffee as I could. The resulting cup is pretty strong, but balanced and clean.
I also wanted to tackle a brewing method I'd previously really disliked, and try to find a way to get good results.
Comments welcome! |

| Awesome - I pulled my moka pot out a couple of weeks ago, but I did use cold water and didn't stop it as it spluttered. The coffee did taste burnt, but I could see the potential was there, although I didn't persevere. I'll have another go! |

Great video. I've been looking around for instructions since I ordered my first moka pot.
Any day now..  |

| Having used these pots for over forty years, the only points I'd make would be, that I lightly press the coffee grounds in the container with the back of the scoop, and that I tend to use a grind just a bit coarser than espresso grind. Again, I think it worth mentioning that the lower the heat source the better. A good illustration though. |

| Good video. I received a moka pot at Christmas (looks just like yours) and I've been looking forward to getting to grips with it. I recall reading here that keeping the heat low was a good idea, and stopping when it spluttered - but I haven't used it enough to establish a reference point for comparing tastes. I'll try your method tomorrow evening, I'll be putting some of HB's Guatemala Finca El Platanillo Maragogype through it. Should be fun. |

| Hi Jim, it is interesting to see people outside Italy talking about the moka pot. In any case we do not use any hot water usually, we start from cold. This it the Italian tradition. |
