Bialetti 2 Cups is a GAME CHANGER for Coffee Lovers

[@mikhail5647]

I'm not a 3d artist but I found a cheap solution for filling in the basket problem, I just took one of these plastic scoops usually supplied with sports nutrition (protein powder etc) and cut off the bottom of it to the exact diameter I needed and it works perfectly. The good thing is that you can make it the exact size you need, since the scoops are usually cone shaped. Not exactly fancy but very effective!

[@matteofromtheswamps]

You are not a 3D artist but you are a genius! I never thought about that solution. Thanks for sharing !

I was interested for my 2 cups Venus. They asked me 100 euros on a 3d lab

[@n6rcan]

Done mastering the 3 cups, this morning I go back to 2 cups and yes it made me a better balance cup. I think its due to the less heat it requires to the water to come out thus the moka pot body doesnt heat up to temperature that affect the taste as soon as it reaches the upper chamber

[@cjsloki9717]

Hi Matteo, I agree that 2 cup pots are great. I have a 2 cup Brikka Moka pot and fill it with my favorite coffee Black Butte Gold from Sisters Coffee. It fits 20 grams of coffee in basket and I use 110 ml of water. Pretty strong with chocolate and almond flavors.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Exactly! That is a good way to get your coffee nice and strong

[@Nickjnr-e6q]

I have been using the 3 cup Moka pot for many years to make my latte in the morning but after seeing your video, I’ve switched to the 2 cup. Less caffeine and more economical but the taste is still great. Thanks for showing us the 2 cup option.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Glad you enjoy it. I was the same, always with the 3 cups, but now I use mainly the 2 cups for myself

Hi i recently started moka pot brewing and i am very thankful the way you have explain and share the knowledge. From a 2 cup moka pot u have made 1 cup coffee then why we called it as 2 cup moka pot

[@M.F.Hafizhan]

in moka pot, "1 cup" equals 1 shot of espresso, which is about 40ml. So, a 2 cup moka pot will make roughly 80ml of coffee

It has a convex screen with it. I have to pack it a bit more gently to compensate for its tamping effect. Great vid! Great advice! Thank you!

I have the 2 and 3 cup moka for induction, but I'm using them on gas. The taste of coffee in the 2 cup one is the best of all I made so far. Can't say the same for the 3 cup one yet, it behaves beastly for now, unlike it's smaller sibling.

I have just bought the 2 cup moka pot and I love it. Maybe I am wrong, but It was more than obvious to me that it's not for 2 cups, it's for one great (I mean of great quality) cup of coffee. I also use a French press (yes, it's manual) for milk creme and the result is unbelievably good, much better than Aeroccino's. Thanks a lot for your videos.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

It all depends on how much coffee you drink. Us, Italians are use to have small quantities of portion at the time. Maybe we can drink like 10 coffees a day, but usually the portion of coffee used is 6 grams each. But I agree with you, that can make an easy portion for us. French press for frothing milk is my favourite. Thanks so much for the comment and the support

With my C40 grinder I always do this: Place the moka pot basket upside down on top of the bean jar after grinding the beans. They fit perfectly together. Then I shake it, as it seems to be the new meta. After shaking, I turn it upside down so all the grounds fall onto the basket. Then, just tap it a few times on the counter to settle the grounds.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

At the end the if the coffee tastes good with that temperature keep it as it is. You can use the reference in case change the taste. There is no perfect temperature. But if you think the coffee is a bit over extracted. You can, or grind slightly coarser, or tap less on the counter

Hi matteo, what size e&b filter for 2 cup pot?

[@noshiplus]

not gonna lie, i have been using a bialetti 6 cup as my daily serving as plain black coffee for one person... for a number of years, probably 15 years now. i thought it was pretty standard as it made a large cup of back coffee. so yes, i have bought a bialetti 2 cup and will probably put the 6 cup in the shelf for a bit.

[@thesupermegagood]

scissors and any empty plastic bottle allow you to make an excellent funnel for any size 🙂

[@matteofromtheswamps]

That is actually a good idea! Thanks!

[@Tamer_108]

Do you dilute the resultant coffee with water usually? I suspect a bit of water dilution might bring out the flavours more, rather than it being over-concentrated and/or overwhelming.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

It really depends on how you like to drink the coffee. You can dilute it or pour milk. Up to you. The important is to extract well the coffee, so in case you want to drink it as it is or dilute it with water, the extraction is always good. You suspect is correct, you will open up more the flavours

[@Tamer_108]

@ Thanks for this

[@softlandersoft]

Hi Matteo. What is the percentage of coffe in (ml) you get out of the original amount of water? For example if You used 90 ml of water what would be the final volume of coffee in ml?. Thank you for the great videos

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Hi! So that depends on the grind size you using and the coffee you are brewing. Coffee retains water, but not all the coffee retain the same amount of water. Also finer grind size retains more water than coarser. Usually the theory is that for 1 g of coffee 2 g of water is retained. In moka pot a bit less because the pressure pushes more water out. But lets say that is the standard

[@softlandersoft]

@matteofromtheswamps Thank you very much.

[@helloindustry]

How many clicks do you use with the commandante?

[@matteofromtheswamps]

I usually brew around 12/15 regular clicks, depending on coffee. Starting point always 14. Then, right now I'm editing a video where I use 10 clicks, but I don't want to spoil it more. But yeah 12/15 is my go to grind size

[@egekaya007]

Is aluminum unhealthy? They recommend steel, but it is said that it also changes the taste. Which one do you think is better?

[@matteofromtheswamps]

No the aluminium is not unhealthy. Stainless steel is definitely easier to maintain.

[@DasAudioMann]

Matteo, thanks for all of the informative videos! I have learned a lot about brewing coffee (particularly with the moka pot) in the past 4 months. Have you tried using a Giannini 3006010 model? The pinhole in the side of the funnel releases pressure which lets you adjust the strength of the coffee making it the best moka pot I have tested in my opinion. The semi percolation of the Giannini does have its caveats though…

[@alexstucky]

The Java Jolt I got actually holds a max of 12 grams of coffee, but it states it's a 3 cup. It works well, but definitely is cheaper. I might have to look at one of the Bialetti's I didn't realize there were so many sizes! Thanks for your videos! Been loving making my iced coffee from the moka pot!

Thank you Alex! Yeah, different brands have different standards. The reality is that there no rules for how much is a moka pot cup. Bialetti makes from half cup until 18 cups. Plenty 😂

Use primarily a 4 cup Venus pot so I can share with my wife. When by myself, I go for the 3 cup pot . The ratio matters, but perhaps the type of coffee and roasting method matter just as much as.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Bigger mokas of course are good to share. I do that with the 3 cups. Yes of course the type of coffee, grind size, roasting, it all matters. But with the same coffee, grinding and other variables, changing just the moka, the 2 cups produce the stronger

[@geogiokas]

Mine too! ❤ 2 cup for 1 or 2 doses

[@marcvdm1111]

Interesting video Matteo. I am perfectly happy with the yield and ratio of my 3 cup. Using a 2 cup for my morning ritual would mean I have to make coffee three times :-)

Which grounder ist Perfect for bialetti? Chestnut s3 vs commandante c40 mk4 or have u another tipps ? Electric grinder??

[@j.m.3038]

I just bought the 1Zpresso X-Ultra yesterday in prime sales. Don't buy the commandante, it is outdated now. The Kingrinder K6 have the same burr and offers external adjustments for under 100 bucks. The S3 looks nice but doesn't reach espresso grind size. The K6 and X-Ultra are the best bang for buck, both all round grinder. The X-Ultra being more expensive but more qualitative. If you can afford the commandante, check out the 1Zpresso K-Ultra instead.

[@thesupermegagood]

the C40 has no competitors, but if you want to come to this conclusion empirically, you can start with Chinese coffee grinders, they are very modern )) sooner or later you will buy a C40 (or C60 if the budget allows)

[@LM-xz1rc]

For the past 8 years I've been using a Bialetti Fiammetta 1 cup and it holds 110ml water. It's gotten quite old now and for years I've been looking for the same ratios, but cannot find anything... 😞 I bought the Bialetti Moka Express 2-cup which can hold the same amount of water (110 ml) but the basket is twice the size (too much coffee for me). So I guess looking for a vintage Bialetti Fiammetta! LOL

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Yes I do, then I change depending on coffee,

[@thesupermegagood]

Matteo, I'm sorry, since there is some amount of water left in the boiler (and is not involved in the extraction process), is the ratio of coffee to water probably more correct to calculate based on the volume of finished coffee?

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Hi! Yes, that is in fact what I do, I always calculate the yield to understand extraction. But you keep consistency, more or less the same amount of coffee comes out based on the amount of water you place. It's like pour over coffee.

[@thesupermegagood]

@@matteofromtheswamps I totally agree. I got carried away with the geyser after a deep immersion in Turkish coffee, and there the ratio of water to coffee is taken very literally because 100% of both participate in extraction, so I clarified. The ratio figures are similar, but the meaning is different 🙂

[@matteofromtheswamps]

I always ask for my coffee already ground at my local coffee shop. They grind the coffee in a big König grinder for specialty coffee; they grind my coffee at number 1 for espresso. Thanks in advance.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Hi there! Thanks for the comment. So my hand grinder is the Comandante, the one I have it is the MK3 but now they do the MK4. Well I recommend that if it fits your budget. otherwise are you looking for a manual one or an electric one?

[@Diegolizarazuf]

@ I’m traveling recently so I’m looking for something versatile that can give me a good grinding and is easy to use. Any recommendation is welcome, also if you think about some electric one. Thanks a lot!

[@matteofromtheswamps]

@@Diegolizarazuf Manual grinders are usually good for travelling and easy to use. Then it all depends on the budget you have

[@marcvdm1111]

So I installed the E&B labs filter in my 3 cup pulcina. The flow is much less stable as it is with the supplied filter plus paper filter, and the result is a more bitter coffee. I think the E&B labs filter requires a more course grind? Did not test that yet, but for now I will stick with the original filter and aeropress paper filter

[@matteofromtheswamps]

So, yes use coarser grind size, that is the positive thing about that filter. it allows you to grind coarser making you achieve anyway a good extraction. grinding coarser reduce the chances of channelling.

[@mikhail5647]

Do you use all the water to brew it? I have a similar moka pot (tough not Bialetti), 130ml water, 13g of coffee and I only get about 45ml of moka in the end. I specifically stop at this mark because if I continue to brew and make a bigger portion it just doesn't taste as good, basically every drop of coffee brewed after about 45ml mark tastes worse than before. Is it different for you?

[@matteofromtheswamps]

So, that happens to you because you are using a 1:10 ratio, meaning for 1 g of coffee you use 13 g of water. you can reduce the amount of water in the boiler, I would say 90 g. That might help. Let me know.

Hi Kristina! Welcome and thanks for the compliment. So, I usually put room temperature water when I brew medium dark roast coffee, because they don't need much temperature to be extract well. If I brew light roast, then I need more energy from the water so I put hot water, never boiled, because that can lead to sputtering.

Hi Matteo, many thanks for another excellent and informative video. I'm a big fan of the 1-cup and 3-cup moka pot, but had never seriously considered the 2-cup. However, I've now changed my mind, especially as I see that E&B Lab make a competition filter for the 2-cup. The 2-cup basket is a different diameter to the 3-cup, so I'd appreciate your recommendations for a 2-cup dosing ring. I'd also appreciate your recommendations for a 1-cup moka pot dosing ring; I currently use a Flair Pro 2 metal dosing ring, which is not a perfect fit but just about does the job.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

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

[@matteofromtheswamps]

@@gregruniewicz3571 Alright, the reason depends on the kind of coffee you are brewing, I made a video about that, here is the link if you are curious to know kzbin.info/www/bejne/poCoYYuEirqhmNE So hotter water lead to sputtering, sputtering occurs when the water in the boiler gets very hot. My suggestion is to remove the moka from the stove as soon as it comes out, let the coffee flow and then gently replace it on the stove. So the water doesn't boil. Regarding the clicks, I usually start with 14 clicks, and then adjust. This depends on the coffee. One month ago I had an Ethiopian coffee that was spitting with 14 clicks since the beginning. That is because African coffee usually are more dense, so the water struggle to pass through. My suggestion in this case is to go coarser, just on click at the time and also when you put the coffee in the basket, tap less on the counter to avoid packing the grinds too much, some coffees are already well dense that you don't need much packing. I hope with this reply I can help you and I'm sure we will find the perfect solution.

Hi Matteo. I have a question for you: have you ever tried brewing coffee in a Cuisinox, 6 cup stainless steel moka pot? It's a beautiful pot aesthetically, but it seems very tricky to brew decent coffee in it due to its design. The steel seems to get too hot. There are times when the coffee is coming out of the spout and when it lands on the bottom of the pot, it begins to sizzle (really hot) and leads to a harsh taste. Do you have any experience with this brand? It would be so cool for you to create a video where you show how to properly brew coffee in this moka pot. Thanks so much. Love the videos.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Hi, thanks for the comment. No I never used that pot but I guess you have the same problem many people have with a 6 cups. Now the metal handle of course is not ideal as you saying because it gets very hot. the trick for the 6 cups is to remove it from the stove often while the coffee comes out because the sputtering is given buy the excessive boiling of the water, removing it from the stove you can calm down the water and the pressure can anyway continue to push the water up, when you replace it on the stove you create more pressure and more water will come out.

If I had known sooner, I would have bought 2 cup. Now I have a 3 cup and I tried to make it behave like a two cup by reducing the ratio to 1:7 - 1:7.5, the number I always return to.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Honestly with you, me too. I've always been focused on 3 and 6 cups. By curiosity I got a 2 cups and I fell in love. With the 3 cups you can still put less water, important it too keep the coffee in the basket full.

[@orangutan29]

@@matteofromtheswamps So by reducing the amount of water to the 7.5 ratio when using the 3 cup, would you achieve the same taste or not exactly?

[@matteofromtheswamps]

@@orangutan29 More or less yes, you can achieve a higher intensity. Important is to keep the basket full or coffee.

Hey matteo, so give us a Good extraction when We use a 3 Pot coffee … 120ml Water and Dark roast Coffee ! How many Grams, which temperature 60 70 80 Prefill ? And how much from 1/9 to 9/9 on the stove? Not induction!

Hi Matteo. I plan to open a street coffee kiosk serving moka pot coffee. Do you think it's good enough to use moka pot 2 cups to brew individual servings? Any tips you can give to me?

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Hi, as a Matteo coffee business consultant and not as Matteo KZbinr, I want to ask you is Moka pot is the only coffee you are serving. Because it will take a bit of time making coffee. But anyway I think you should get a 2 cups for individual serving and probably a 3 cups for a double serving. Also it depends on the cup size you want to serve.

[@hairilaswad6245]

​@@matteofromtheswampsYes, I plan to serve only moka pot coffee. I saw this trend in Thailand where the sell moka pot coffee on coffee cart by the street and I want to try introduce this at my hometown in Malaysia. My plan was to use 2 cup moka pot for 8oz hot coffee and 16oz iced coffee, and 3cup moka pot for 22oz iced coffee.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

@@hairilaswad6245 Ok I see, I suggest you having a good system to reset the moka, clean water to rinse it and dry cloths for drying it.

[@hairilaswad6245]

Thanks for the tips.

Hi Matteo. I've got average 75g coffee from 90g water, about 83% extraction. Is it okay? I used 12g medium dark vietnamese robusta, Bialetti 2 cup with E&B lab filter.

Hi Matteo. I have a 6 cup pot (its big i know). I want to buy the 3 cup or 2 cup pot. but before that i want to understand if the moka pot coffee is even for me. I want to know what kind of taste can we expect from moka pot coffee? I have used 2 different speciality medium to dark roast coffee to brew in my pot. These are speciality coffee so they have they different tasting notes mentioned. the thing is my coffee is almost always a little sour acidic tasting. So my question is what type of taste can we expext in Moka pot coffee. Can we expect all these tasting notes in our final cup. For context im from india and I haven't had a nice tasting espresso here everrr. Thank you for your content. i really enjoy watching your videos!

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Thank you so much for the comment. I'm also drinking specialty coffee the same way you do. So coffee from Moka is something stronger than filter coffee but still less strong than espresso. Even if you like your coffee weaker you can still brew with Moka pot and dilute it with hot water to reduce the intensity. Important is to extract the coffee correctly controlling the brewing variables. Yes you can expect the tasting notes and to avoid sourness you can act on grind size, grinding finer, to balance the acidity, or brewing with more water. Ideally the moka pot is made for medium dark roasted coffee, but you can brew also light roasted coffee.

[@Whiskeycruiser]

@@matteofromtheswamps thanks for the reply Matteo. I will definitely buy a smaller moka pot and try out your suggestions. I really enjoy brewing in my Moka pot even though I haven't been able to brew a nice tasting coffee yet. Was going to reluctantly move to other brewing methods. But I'm definitely going to be using the moka pot and experiment now. Thank you!

[@matteofromtheswamps]

@@Whiskeycruiser Sounds great. Also the reality is that every brewing method gives headache XD. But also depends on taste. Not everyone likes strong coffee like moka or espresso.

Ciao Matteo, quale sarebbe la moka pod più leggera che ancora produce buon caffè? Sono appassionato di sci alpinismo e attualmente mi devo portare dietro la bomboletta mini di gas, il pezzo che produce la fiamma (nn so come si dice in italiano..) e la Bialetti brikka R di prima generazione. Il caffè è gradevole ma il peso della Brikka sta sui 500 grammi. Grazie

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Ciao. la bialetti 2 tazze pesa meno della brikka, ma peró poi é diversa. la cosa che ti pesa di piú é la moka o la bomboletta del gas?

if i like my coffee with milk then what bialetti should i choose? (i had 6 cups but i broke it by accident)

[@j81562]

I use a 3 cup Bialetti for myself. Brew the moka, pour all of it into a cup with a heaping teaspoon of sugar. Microwave 1/3 cup of milk or half and half for 30 seconds. Use a hand frother to texture. Pour it into coffee. Faux cappuccino…yummy.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

This is the one I use for my milk drink. because I get the best result. It also depends on how big your drink is. But if you drink around 6/8oz the 2 cups is the best one

Hi Matteo, I also use a 51 mm dosing funnel for my 3-cups moka pot. But for my 1-cup and 2-cups, I bought a bunch of cheap plastic funnels from Amazon and cut them to the size of the baskets. It's less stable than a metal one, but it works perfectly.

Thanks for the suggestion! I use a 54mm for the 3 cups
