Hi Matteo! Can you please make a video or just explain to me how and when to use the reducer? I have a 2 cups GB Kitty Oro Moka Pot and it came with a reducer and I have no idea how to use it correctly. I believe it would really help me since I would only really use the Moka Pot for 1 cup instead of 2 and I believe that's where the reducer comes into play but I don't know how to use it! Thanks!

And know I found this video! Gracie😊

One reason can be that the coffee basket can not hold the pressure correctly inside the boiler. You will hear the leak too. My solution was to measure the coffee cup OD and go to a hardware store, then search for a 1mm thick O-ring with slightly smaller than the coffee cup measurement. No more leaks.

Yes that could be another reason. But here I wanted to explain something that happens with a full working moka

@@Ahto42see if aeropress filter fits otherwise you can search for larger paper filters, if you can’t find bigger paper filter you could cut the right size using bigger flat papers. It will take a bit of time cutting them so it depends on how much you want to brew with paper

Great explanation! What would you say is the ratio/percentage between water you're left with to hot water you put before brewing? Thanks guru:)

Thanks for the comment and for the compliment :). That amount can change depending on the coffee you are using and also grind size. Coarser grind retain less water, finer more. Also depends on the kind of beans you using

@@matteofromtheswamps Thanks for the reply! That’s interesting… Thought there was a rough minimum ratio you should aim for like 60% or something like that regardless of all you mentioned above

Hi Matteo, I've seen you use dosing rings together with WDT when you prepare your pots for brewing. Can you help me navigate what dosing rings to look for? I have the bialetti express 3 and 6 cup. Thanks!

I think it is a design defect because some moka pots by Bialetti they do not leave small amount of water at all, perfect, I have a moka pot that does not leave any water at all, perfect

That can be also possible, if the basket is slightly shorter, you have more water at t he bottom.

1) why is the coffee not coming up 2) how to fix it 3) is ptfe tape safe to use with moka pot

@matthewpaulino4739

1) could be the coffee is ground too fine, it should be in a middle of espresso and drip coffee grind size. Could also be the gasket is not sitting right/broken 2) check first if the gasket/seal is broken by running a moka pot cycle with just water, no coffee. If the water comes up, try a coarser grind with your coffee 3) ptfe tape is not needed for moka pot, not advisable

Does the shape and volume of the cup we drink the esspresso from affect the taste and the experience? Serious question. I always felt that there is an ideal cup for drinking esspresso.

@matteofromtheswamps

absolutely! it's scientifically proved. the ideal cup for espresso usually should have a thick rim, that increase the mouthfeel sensation.

why half water not coming up?coarser grind?

I bought a moka bot months ago, i was making my coffee by adding only milk in the bottom chamber annd it was so good , *but recently the milk is coming out without squeeze/extraction the coffee and its taste is undrinkable*

You ruined the Moka pot. You aren’t suppose to use milk to brew coffee. Your tube is clogged more likely. Clean by boiling a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar.
