The other detracting factor that goes along with getting a pot that’s too big for your daily needs is that your heating time is going to be a lot longer than it needs to be when you’re using a larger-than-necessary pot to make your coffee every day. Choose A Size Based On Your Daily Coffee Consumption Fill the bottom chamber with hot water to just below the valve. I learned late in the game that starting with hot water, around 205 degrees, works much better than cold water. The problem with trying to “customize” your serving for less coffee is that you’re going to have an over-extraction problem. This means that coffee taste, texture, and caffeine level are going to be “off.” In this regard, I appreciate the amount of control I have over the coffee. I can use a finer grind, higher heat, and less water for an extra-bold punch of caffeine or a slightly coarser grind with more water when I’m in the mood for something closer to drip coffee. All in all, the Moka Express is surprisingly versatile. I've made "lattes" by substituting Moka Express coffee for espresso and they're satisfactory but not café-quality. Add coffee grounds to the filter basket. Make sure the grounds are level but don't tamp them down like an espresso shot.

All three require multiple steps by hand, while the Moka Pot can simply be filled with water and grounds, set on the stovetop, and left to do its thing. Once the coffee begins to sputter (you'll recognize this immediately), remove the Moka Express from the burner and rinse the bottom chamber under cold water to stop the brewing process.

What does the size of a Moka pot mean? It’s important to know that we aren’t talking about traditional “cup” measurements when it comes to the Moka pot. The number of “cups” your Moka pot can produce represents the number of 50-milliliter espresso-sized cups that can be produced. There’s no need to use soaps or detergents when cleaning your Moka pot daily. In fact, just rinsing your pot with hot water before wiping the interior dry after each use will be enough to keep it clean. Periodic “deep cleans” can be done simply by using a gentle brush and a drop of vinegar to scrub the inside of your pot. It is important to note that Moka coffee is not considered to be a version of espresso. The flavor profiles of Moka coffee and espresso are quite different, and you can’t use Moka coffee to make cappuccinos or lattes. Of course, the specific flavor you’ll get out of your Bialetti Moka pot will depend on a few factors. You may hear some people refer to a Moka pot as a stovetop espresso maker How Moka Differs From Other Methods

The original Bialetti pot, “Moka Express”, has been around since 1933. The Bialetti man with the moustache, recognised now by pretty much everyone and featuring on all of the brand’s products, represents Renato Bialetti himself, son of the inventor of the moka pot, Alfonso. This iconic logo was designed in 1953 by Paul Campani, an Italian artist. To brew some delicious coffee, fill the bottom chamber with water all the way up to the safety valve, insert the metal filter and pour some ground coffee into the basket (without pressing), then put the upper chamber on top and place the pot on the hob. Wait for the coffee to start gurgling as it rises and reaches the collecting chamber: once that’s done, take the pot off the heat and enjoy! Another minor frustration is that the price of the Moka Express varies widely depending on the retailer. It makes sense that the price varies by capacity—a 1-cup model, for instance, is less expensive than a 12-cup model—but when retailers charge substantially different prices for the same size Moka Express, it imparts a feeling that you must hunt for a fair deal.The stylish Italian brand Bialetti brings luxury coffee makers to the market.
