The only challenge is not burning yourself on hot metal while screwing on the top. This is the correct way to use a stovetop, though. The most important thing is keeping the water at the stage where it's just below a boil so as to not extract all the super bitter aromas, like a perculator does.

@@Xorthis That latter point I'm with you, and in fact his advice to lower heat as soon as you start to see extraction is the one part of the video that makes sense. His result is still disappointing IMHO, this is what happens when I'm out of coffee and only half fill the cup with grounds...

Do not overflow the pressure valve. And if you wanted the slower extraction anyway, then you should've started with that cold water.

Overfilled the boiler, safety risk AND dilute moka Hit the boiler with cold water to actually stop extraction when removed from heat You pulled it off the heat a couple seconds late, leads to bitter flavors Get a technique down do you don't have to adjust temperature mid extraction and you'll have a better cup. Reduce those variables

For safety, I wouldn't recommend filling past the valve. The valve is there to release pressure in the event that the water can't pass through the bed of coffee, i.e. it's there to prevent the Moka pot from becoming a bomb.

I don’t know why this makes a huge difference but it does, I think it blooms the coffee. 4) do not get stingy with the coffee extraction, as soon as i see the yellowish water coming out, I stop the extraction, running the pot under cold water. I know you could technically extract more, but the yellow liquid is the thing that makes bad mokka pot coffee taste like bad mokka pot coffee. I would rather have a smaller high quality cup rather than a large dose that’s bad. Just my suggestions for a wonderful cup

Sorry, that's incorrect and it's not necessary to complicate the process because the best flavor comes from following the Bialetti instructions. Bialetti instructions are based on scientific testing and professional taste testing, so you can be assured Bialetti knows how to get the best flavor from the Moka. Bialetti has their own science and engineering department for product development, and they gross approximately $180 Million US dollars per year, so they can afford the best testing. You can see the Bialetti instructions in action by searching for "Annalisa J Moka pot" and "Il Barista Italiano Moka detailed." 1. Fill the reservoir with room temperature or cold water to touch the bottom of the pressure valve, preferably filtered or bottled water. 2. Loosely fill the basket with medium-fine ground espresso till it's even with the rim, but don't press it down nor tamp it. You can use a straight utensil, like your coffee scoop handle, to scrape the coffee off level with the rim. Italian grocery store espressos are ground medium-fine for the Moka: Bialetti Perfetto Moka Espresso, Lavazza Crema e Gusto, Lavazza Qualita Rosa, Lavazza Espresso Italiano, Kimbo, illy Classico Espresso for Moka, illy Intenso Espresso for Moka, etc. 3. Wipe the rim and threads clean of grounds so you'll get a good seal, and screw the Moka together tightly. 4. Cook it on a low gas flame or a preheated medium electric stove. 5. The instant you hear it start to gurgle remove the Moka pot from the stove and let it finish brewing on your countertop from the residual heat inside the pot. 6. Stir up the most-concentrated coffee from the bottom with a teaspoon and pour. 7. When you unlock the pot to clean it, you'll see leftover brown water full of fines, and that means you removed the pot from the heat early enough to stop that water from diluting and dirtying your coffee. 8. Wash the Moka parts with hot water rubbing with your fingers, but do not use soap. Wipe it dry with a cloth. It will stay very clean. Once a month cook plain water in it to deep clean it.

Great video! But you absolutely should follow the Bialetti instructions to start with cold water! Bialetti has been scientifically testing and developing the Moka pot since 1933, and they know how to ensure consistently good coffee. Cold water doesn't cause an uneven extraction or over-extraction; but collapsing, pressing or packing the coffee does cause over-extraction. Cold water allows the coffee to have time to bloom and allows the gasses to build the right kind of pressure. Starting with boiling water can damage the valve and scald your hand when you screw it together. Water should always touch the bottom of the valve. It shouldn't sputter. Cook it on a low gas flame or medium electric stove. Immediately remove it from the heat when it starts to gurgle because the boiler is almost empty. It'll finish filling when it's off the heat. There's only one KZreadr who teaches the correct traditional Italian way to make Moka pot coffee since 1933. Search for "Annalisa J Moka pot." She saved my coffee!

@AngieW-ri6qx Wise decision! Bialetti instructions say cold water or room temperature water. I use room temperature bottled water because I always have those stocked in my house, many Italians use cold tap water (but it should be filtered); and my daughter and son-in-law, who are former Starbucks managers, use the chilled filtered water that comes out of their refrigerator door dispenser. So you can try both room temperature and cold water to see which one you like best. I read that starting with hot water means the water will be too hot, boiling, when it bathes the coffee powder. The Moka is never supposed to boil, it doesn't work by boiling. It works by gradually heating the air and water vapor which expands until the pressure pushes the water down and up through the pipe, bathing the coffee powder at a temperature that should be lower than boiling.

You have a really good point here, great video. I do have one small critique to offer, though: it could just be me, but it seemed like the music started to drown you out a bit by around the 12 minute mark, and I had to try a bit harder to focus on what I wanted to hear you were saying :) On the topic of buying things for hobbies, my love of creative writing has often been boosted by the fact you don’t really need to buy anything to do it. Got a pen, notebook, and an idea? You can write a poem or a story. Or use a phone notepad. Or some paper. Or a laptop. It doesn’t really matter and it won't affect much anything about your prose itself - only your process. But my other hobbies, like drawing, don't always have such luxuries. I started doing digital art almost exclusively because the desire to keeping buying new pencils and paper and markers and whatnot kept enticing me, but I ultimately never use any of it and just draw on printer paper with a mechanical pencil 8/10 times that I draw traditionally. (Edit: Digital art can be prone to consummerist culture as well, but it's not as bad in my experience. I started digital art on my phone using a pen with a stylus built in that I got for free and Ibis Paint X, which is also free. I felt little pressure to upgrade. When I did, I got a $35 Huion tablet 5 years ago that I still sometimes use, and Krita, which is free and open source. And when I bought an iPad to take notes in uni, I picked up Procreate for $10 4 years ago and that's still my setup. I never felt like I _needed_ to buy these things, and I don’t feel like I need anything else.) In any case, it's definitely worth evaluating potential unnecessary consummerism in our hobbies.

Great method! Thanks!

Aesthetics, there's no real difference between them. Main difference is the material. Aluminium heats up faster, less chance of burnt taste, but if you don't keep it completely dry, aluminum slime start to grow inside the water container. Stainless steel is nearly care-free, and you can also use it on induction stove. The other important parameter is the size. 2 cups is recommended for a single person, its basket can hold 8 g of coffee ground, and it brews around 80 +- 10 ml of coffee. Larger ones (4-6-8 cups) have different baskets, so they are not ideal for single portion. It is better to buy two cheaper devices instead of 1 expensive if you also want to serve coffee to others.

This is my daily method for brewing coffee, and it is recommended by Hoffmann and many others. Okay, let me set something straight: water evaporates before it reaches 100°. Simple proof, you can see steam rising from hot water that is not 100°C. Of course, if you start with cold water, you will get coffee and it will taste like coffee, if all you're used to is bitter coffee. But for bright and fruity light roasts, or balanced medium roasts, if you're extracting bitter coffee, you are not getting what you paid for and what the roasters and growers worked to achieve.

I hate those things. Not because they're bad, they're actually pretty awesome. But I always forget I left those on the stovetop and only remember when I feel the smell of burnt coffee

I've considered buying a tabletop hotplate, and using a timer, to (a) use it as a Teasmade, and (b) prevent burning. The aluminium ones are a swine to clean - my girlfriend has a stainless and it's much better.

It’s very easy to avoid kind of situation… I measured the cooking time 2x or 3x and now I turn on the alarm, especially in the morning when I’m not quite awake yet 🤷‍♀️😁

This is our tipical espresso Italian coffee

No per niente

couple things wrong here, don't fill it past the valve. the whole reason for that valve is to relieve pressure from the chamber, if you fill it past the valve then if the pressure gets too much it'll squirt out boiling hot water instead of steam. also, if you are brewing on a gas stove as shown in the video, make sure that you have an adapter plate for more even distribution of heat

Silly question, I know it’s not but can this be considered espresso?
