Yes I do, then I change depending on coffee,

Hi, thanks for the comment. Can I ask you if you fill the basket with the coffee until the top or you leave a bit of space in between the coffee and the filter?

Thanks for the comment and the feedback. So glad you found the way to fix it with my suggestions. It makes me happy :)

Hi, not with the Fellow Stagg EKG. The bottom is in plastic that isolate the heat, then the body it's made of stainless steel, and that is hot.

Hi! First of all thanks for your support. I really appreciate it. Second, no I've never tried. That is an interesting approach. I'm actually not afraid of that because by keeping the low heat the coffee never gets overheat. There is the water in the boiler that regulates the heat in the moka. But that will be definitely something to try. Thank you so much for sharing this with me. :)

ovviamente non ho bisogno di nessun compenso. lo faccio con piacere

No no I mean 1 cm, from the bottom of the valve, so less water. The image unfortunately with transparent water is not clear, but I confirm 1 cm

Ciao, 130 ml é la quantitá di caffé liquido in uscita. Con 150 intendo la quantitá di acqua massima che si puo mettere nella caldaia.

You are very nice :)

Sì sì. Io la uso sul gas, si può utilizzare anche con induzione, elettrico, vetro ceramica. Praticamente ovunque 🙂

The problem of already pre ground coffee is that first, you cannot control grind size and second the freshness decreases faster. Try to make it with my suggestions, then, if you find it too coarse because it’s coming out too fast, place a second paper filter and see if it makes it stronger. Otherwise you can tap the coffee in the basket a bit more to pack it better

I suggest room temperature for medium dark roast, so for espresso roast place room temperature.

Usually how long it takes to brew coffee in 2 cups moka pot?

For this method I arrived to 10 regular clicks. I didn’t go finer

I know, but you know quality doesn’t come cheap most of the times. If you use the normal Bialetti filter I suggest placing a paper filter to get better coffee

@@matteofromtheswamps thats the plan for now

For this method and this coffee I did 10 clicks. Just be careful to not pack the coffee too much, otherwise you risk channeling

The reality is that Moka doesn’t make crema. It’s not espresso. It doesn’t work with the same pressure. Moka is 1.5/2 bars, espresso is 9 bars. This pressure makes the crema. If you taste burnt also depends on the coffee you are using . The reduce burning , try my beginners method. You can find the video on my channels

@@matteofromtheswamps kzbin.info_SqYwFo1qGM?si=frkQzJiE9snL5F13 Matteo, what do you think about this nonna, did she get crema from whisking sugar and a little bit of coffee? Please comment. Ty.

I'm happy that for you doesn't sound annoying :)

So, yes it’s strong because more coffee you place with same amount of water, stronger gets the coffee. The right way depends on the coffee you brewing. For kimbo I would keep 16/120. If it’s too strong for you, add a bit of hot water after you made the coffee to reduce the strength, but in this way you keep the good extraction. If you place less ground coffee, the coffee will be too bitter

How many clicks you makes on the commandante for bialetti??

@@andi8744 I always start with 14 clicks, then depending on coffee and drainage go slightly finer or coarser, usually is coarser 15 clicks or 12/11 finer. But I usually see with taste and flow.

Which is?

Hi! Thanks for the comment. I like your technique! Thank you very much for sharing it with me. I know what you mean. That depends on how you place the coffee in the basket, When it's super foamy it means that the coffee puck made a good uniform resistance. if it's too liquid it means water found an easier way to come up. Automatically the coffee is weaker and not the right taste. The way to be come consistent is to control the way you place the coffee in the basket. Also the tapping on the counter to pack the coffee in the basket, in case you grind finer, needs to be gentle and not tap too much otherwise water flows from the side of the basket.

Because it down give the control I need. You are limited in that with the Brikka. Also the second valve to make the fake “crema” that doesn’t stay, It’s not my favourite

​@@matteofromtheswamps thanks, could you please share the model of the dosing funnell you use when brewing moka?

Thank you! 🙏❤

Yes I do! It works well!

@matteofromtheswamps Thx, Matteo. BTW, that's my son's name too.

@@Wings_nut Great choice on the name :)

@@matteofromtheswamps lol thx

Yes, correct. The 2 cup version was used in this video.

I hope they will be helpful to you :)

Hopefully you manage to make it strong!

Yep I do the same :). on the 3 cups, but not everybody has a Comandante, so I always need to share a general way to pack the coffee in the best way. But I agree with you method :)

Thanks for the comment :)
