This is pretty funny seeing as the modern brew technique for a Moka is typically to run it as slow as possible. Would be really cool to see someone like James Hoffmans take on this brewer, it's definitely really cool

[@TurboSunShine]

I'd send it to him if he wants to have a look at it :)

[@Nono-hk3is]

This slow technique surprises me. I've found that the longer the heating and brewing takes, the more scorched and worse the coffee tastes. I assume it's because the dry grounds take on so much heat before the brewing process begins, that they effectively get burned. I've worked around this by boiling the water ahead of time in a kettle, then scrambling to assemble the pot to perform the brew with preheated water. Another part of my distate for the result comes from using aluminum pots, which leaves the coffee with a metallic taste. I just really like the angular look of the bialetti style, which I've been unable to find in stainless in the US.

[@axelbostrom3606]

@@Nono-hk3is forgot to mention but you typically preheat the water to boiling so the brew starts at a higher temperature but then you go as slow as possible without stalling the brewer. I really recommend looking up James Hoffmans moka pot exploration videos, they are very interesting and have taken my coffee to a much better place 😁

[@cococolson]

For camping though it's a huge benefit! Gas is hard to bring.

One part of a Moka pot design is that they normally don't reach the pressures an espresso machine does. There's one $700 Moka pot that does reach the several bars need though. If you ever do a rev 3, that's something to consider

[@LimitedWard]

I think the 9Barista was $700 when it first launched but now you can buy it for $469. Still pricey, but not $700 pricey.

[@shandor2522]

Yes, and consequently the Moka doesn’t produce true espresso. It’s more like a brewpresso because the water just wets the coffee under atmospheric pressure. But the real tragedy here is that a back to nature man who appreciates spending time outdoors can’s spare a four minute ritual to enjoy a nice coffee! If you’re in such a hurry, save money and get a Keurig, my man!

[@eccomi21]

@@shandor2522 what do you mean it just wets the coffee under atmospheric pressure? I am pretty sure even if boiling steam doesn't reach 9 bars, it reaches, according to google, 1.5 to 2 bars, meaning twice atmospheric pressure.

[@shandor2522]

@@eccomi21 I acknowledge that some measly steam pressure is required in a moka pot to lift water from the lower chamber into the top where the coffee grounds are. The point is that neither this pot nor the new one expresses hot water through the grounds. They just wet them. That’s not espresso.

[@eccomi21]

@@shandor2522 I did not notice that anyone claimed that mokka is supposed to be espresso, my point simply was that there are higher forces at work than just atmospheric pressure. I am quite the espresso nerd myself so no worries, i get the difference.

[@vermeilanimation3706]

Awesome video, and completely over the top build, love it. Dump video tip: When adjusting the focus of your camera, if you're alone, bring a long stick with a piece of cardboard attached to its end. On the cardboard, stick a piece of white paper with black vertical lines, or a grid of dots, or any pattern that's kind precise (a target it good too). Plant the stick where you'll be standing when you're in front of the camera, and adjust the focus on that. The pattern on the piece of paper will be useful to calibrate precisely. Don't forget to deactivate autofocus ! And voila ! Now you're in focus, instead of the background

[@thedolenorway]

Love that tip!

[@boutrosboutrosboutrosboutros]

I thought the out of focus was creative decision lol. great video

[@VideoGems117]

Dude your designs are incredible and have inspired me to make quite a few of my own these past few years. When it comes to optimizing designs for additive manufacturing, I really feel that your channel and skillset is unparalleled

[@timothywilkins1831]

My only concern is a lack of overpressure valve (especially given the high speed boiling here) - easy to drill and thread a hole for one though.

[@bonovoxel7527]

oooops 😂

[@UnitSe7en]

It's an open system that is never obstructed with a known quantity of water. It's fine, Karen.

[@bonovoxel7527]

They said the same for the Vajont's Dam, Chad. I'd better be safe than sorry.@@UnitSe7en Plus, it's actually a CLOSED system that is _systematically_ obstructed in a partially controlled way (filling the ground coffee powder), at every single use. But yes, at least the water quantity is known. Have I already said "better safe than sorry", Mr. Engineer?

[@DrTheRich]

@@bonovoxel7527 normal pots don't have a pressure valve either right? why build in safety features that are never needed. There is such a thing as being unnecessarily precautious.

[@bonovoxel7527]

I am italian, anyways no need in order to check a picture and realize that ALL COFFEE MOKA (its Moka. Not pot. That's for weed. Or tea. Moka.) DO HAVE A SAFETY VALVE and they always have had, by design. I link some images since it's rare. That someone clearly not having to do with the tool itself everyday feels so confident about a thing which's straight wrong. Moka. With the K. The valve is included. From a century at least. www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=moka&tbs=imgo:1 The valve there is the little bit on the lower half, below the thread line, sometimes silver sometime brass looking, it's that little pin the only protuberance you see on the lower part of ALL those shown Moka. It's hexagonal to be screwed in place, and changed if broken/rusted/obstructed. And yeah Wikipedia .com calls it moka pot but it's wrong. We don't call it moka tazza (tazza is pot) we just pour the moka content, INTO a tazza (a pot). No one would ever drink from the moka: Its inheducate, but mainly it's hot. Moreover, there's nothing around which is "moka" as adjective, without directly referring to that specific object, therefore no need to disambiguate from anything else. Like you don't say "a car vehicle", it's just a car. @@DrTheRich

Hoping to be able to get this device in the hands of enough people to make a difference is the definition of a "pipe dream". The effort involved would definitely be better used to develop biomethane.

[@3DCGdesign]

I've been brewing in a traditional turkish coffee pot on a gas stove for many years. never even springing for the Moka pot. But my idea was always to make the heating of the water more efficient by making essentially a sleeve that is slightly larger than my coffee pot and inside the sleeve is a set of 6 to 12 copper spirals that will essentially wrap around the pot all the way up the side to capture and direct all that excess heat which is currently pointing out and away from the bottom of the pot at the gas burner and direct it along the surface of the pot around and around and up and around while it's cooking and keeping the heat along the sides of the pot all the way up. Your project has inspired me to try to build my idea.

[@ThoroughBaton]

I genuinely got hooked into a video I thought I'd never be interested in. Great job man! This deserves so much more attention!!!

[@OutOfNamesToChoose]

Missed the premier because I was making a cup of tea. I have to say though, that I'm very impressed (and a little jealous) of your space-age moka pots. I'm also impressed by Alpha Laser's treaded welder. That isn't the kind of tech you usually get to see.

[@TurboSunShine]

Haha, was the first time for me too to get to try a laser welder! it's entirely different from traditional welding. Highly recommend trying it if you ever have the opportunity to do so. its crazy how small details you can weld together without much training!

[@thealmightysnark5878]

Nice! I think the final design also looks appealing, definitely something that is worth showing off not just only for the cool creation process!

Hey, this is really cool! I have also 3D printed some backpacking pots, its an exceptionally expensive hobby... but you're definitely right that we have some of the coolest water boilers around camp ;)

[@tylerreeves8026]

Wanted to add that I made a calculator that can easily measure how much more efficient your mocha pot is over a traditional one. There is a video on my channel on how to use it, and I also don't mind hopping on a zoom call to explain it in better detail.

[@TurboSunShine]

[@un65tube]

Great Video. You really made my day 🙂. To design a pot that more efficiently uses the heat was on my mind since I was a young boy. Even I just was thinking of some much more simple design with some heatsink fins and guidance for the warm air. Big thanks to Alpha Laser that they support your project with their laser equipment. Many greetings from Germany!
