Gennaro consumes food and drinks with his soul, he really feels it!
When I need a good relaxing smile, I watch Gennaro! Love his voice, laughter, and warm heart.Reminds me of my Father.Thank you, Gennaro,U ROCK!TEACH US EVERYTHING!
Ive always watched Gennaro’s videos from 5 years ago, 6 years ago etc. I saw this video 16 mins after from uploading. For some reason that made me so happy. I felt close to Gennaro :) God bless guys like him. Greetings from Istanbul.
even though i've been making coffee in the moka pot for years, i still click to watch Gennaro do it. as many say here, this man always makes my day a bit better - especially if I'm feeling down - and never fails to remind me why making food is so good
Refreshing to see it done by a real Italian. No fuss, no filtering the coffee through a virgins hair, no adding water heated to precisely 98F, no setting to gas mark 3.9875. Just chuck the water in, add a reasonable amount of quality coffee and apply heat and time. Brilliant- I’m going to make a cup right now

I personally put cold water when using a moka pot because of the convenience. On the other hand I totally get why some people prefer preheating it. Waiting for the water to warm inside the pot takes a bit of time and meanwhile the coffee roasts in the filter, getting somewhat bitter. Secondly he put too much water inside. The level shouldn't get over the safety valve.

This guy is a legend. I've used these coffee pots for years. When you fill it with water, make sure not to fill above the little valve. He almost touched on it but not quite. Also, fill it with just boiled water to speed up the process. Makes no difference to the end result.
@dylancrozier84

If anything, I believe using boiling water to speed up the process would allow for a less burnt tasting coffee, since the grounds aren't subjected to heat as long. I'm new to the moka pot though, so I don't know

I start my every morning with brewing a good cup of coffee in this type of pot. After a big breakfast - just hits the spot perfectly!
The water is coming out of the valve because you filled it past the level of the valve. It should always be filled below it. Also, use freshly boiled water, not cold. The process is much quicker and the grounds aren't being baked while the water heats up, resulting in a less bitter cup.

@@MrGeorgeBleau it’s not possible to make coffee in a Moko that’s not horribly over extracted and bitter. Over: bitter- too hot/too long. Under: sour- too cool/too fast. Moko’s work by boiling the water over the grounds. 91-96c is the range for a proper extraction.
We use the same coffee pot in Bulgaria too. Wish you all the best!!!
Good morning from Texas. You have a joy and zest for life Sir! You could talk about taking out the garbage and you would make it enjoyable 😀 God bless you.

Don't worry about withdrawals. The effects are minor/negligible. You can drink or stop drinking coffee whenever you want and you'll be fine. Worst that will happen is feeling a bit tired, that's all.

Love this video. Some additional tips from me for a smooth brew: - Lavazza coffee is best in my opinion - all of their range gives great results - Don't over pack the filter with coffee (i.e. don't compress the chamber, let the coffee sit naturally) - High heat can lead to a bitter flavour, have the gas on very low and let the water boil slowly so you don't burn the coffee - Similarly, don't let the coffee over boil, as the last creamy bubbles fill the pot turn the gas off - the pressure will continue to release more coffee into the pot - FIll half a large mug with milk and heat on medium power for 50 seconds (not high power) and add the coffee to the milk for a nice smooth breakfast brew Lovely!!

Gennero long time no see we missed you NOW WE HAPPY Thank you
My favourite way to make coffee I remember seeing Antonio Carluccio’s kitchen He had an amazing collection of Moka Pots 🙏😍
I used to live in Italy a long time ago...and have been using one of these every morning, ever since. It really is the quickest and easiest way for a decent cup of coffee. Also, (pro tip) that bubbling and steam coming out from around that valve isn't supposed to happen. That's a (safety measure) pressure release valve if you accidentally forget about it on the stove or the stem is clogged...his is old and the seal is broken so the release valve won't work anymore as it's intended. The entire point is if the pressure gets too high that emergency valve blows to release the pressure. Considering the entire point of the thing is using pressure to make coffee....you probably don't want a leak like that because it's not going to work as intended for making coffee, and can (although unlikely) be a bit dangerous.
You're the best of the best Gennaro xxx
Love you Gennaro!
Love his passion
Everyone has their ways of coffee and there's not much to it but take it from a coffee guy - use fresh coffee ans grind it yourself. If you get ground coffee it's already lacking so much flavour because it was probably ground weeks if not months ago. Get some good beans, roasted like a week or two before, no longer than 3 months. Also, dont put cold water in, use 60*C (140F) water or just a tad hotter than tap hot, you'll avoid burning your coffee inside the mokapot (which makes the brew more bitter) and the whole process is just quicker. Go ahead and watch James Hoffmann's take on mokapot coffee if you can. Not saying Gennaro is making bad coffee, it's just some tips how to up your game ;)

Excellent! No weighing of coffee, no weighing of water, no tamping, no timing the brew. 😁👍 But enjoys the aroma and adds sugar. A true coffee lover not a process lover!
Been making coffee daily like this since my dear Italian friend bought me a jug. I have a dose of pure Italy every morning. Love you Gennaro.

To get even better tasting coffee, first, grind your own. Best would be fresh roasted coffeebeans (after 1 week of roasting, use before 4 weeks after roasting). Then, instead of cold water use boiled water, make sure to use a towel or something because the moka pot gets hot obviously. This reduces the time on the gas and the time the coffee is connected with the hot source, because the pot can get really hot, it's better to reduce the time this way and get less bitter/burned coffee. Last but not least, when the coffee starts pooring into the upper part of the pot, reduce the heat to a minimum. Some say you can also turn off the heat because there should be enough pressure to press the water trough the coffee but I like to put it on minimum heat to get it going. Then when it starts to make noise, turn off the heat. I then pour into the cup right away because the less time the coffee is in that steaming hot pot the better, some would say to cool it down with the coffee inside by running cold water over the bottom part, but I find it a mess and a bit dangerous so I just poor into the cup right away. Should need less sugar because of less bitterness as well ;)
