Can You Make a Cappuccino With a Moka Pot?

Sometimes you just need a proper cappuccino at home, but can it be done with just a couple of simple pieces of kit? Let’s find out...

[@blacknwhitecookie8967]

No espresso machine yet, but out of all the coffee gadgets out there, the Moka Pot is my absolute favorite coffee.

[@mukherjiradhika85]

So is mine 🤗

[@dana-ce1vb]

mine aswell!

[@EspenFrafalne]

I never run mine under cold water - but i pay close attention to it when it is brewing, and regularly lift the pot off the hotplate to maintain a very slow and controlled boil. That way i can [usually] stop the boiling right before that last "watery" stuff comes out - because that stuff makes the coffee taste cheap..! When i first got mine, i used pre-ground espresso from the store. It worked just fine. I got the Commandante grinder a few days later, and read that it is recommended to set it to 15-20 clicks for the moka pot. So i set it on 15, and used the same brand espresso as the pre ground i had used earlier. The result tasted like strong dark coffee, but NOT espresso. So i dialed it down to 14 (probably around 410 microns), which is very similar coarseness as the store bought pre-ground espresso. This was fine enough to bring out the sweet "chocolaty" espresso taste (on my grinder), so to prevent the filter from clogging up, i try not to go any finer than this... I have used it on 13 clicks a few times without problems, but i think 14 taste better - and i dont like the number 13 anyway, lol!

Great video. One thing I must say is that it ISN'T necessary to run a Moka-Pot under cold water after brewing. If you remove it from the heat and pour it STRAIGHT AWAY after brewing is complete, there is no reason to cool the pot. On the other hand, if you leave the brew in the pot after the brew has finished, YES it will burn. Just serve it straight after brewing.

[@joelp5093]

Heating the water alone first, and blooming the grounds first are two other unnecessary moka pot steps you see on the internet frequently

[@benjaminmartinred6561]

@@joelp5093 you should heat the water first, if you don't you might make the whole moka pot quit hot and heat the coffee grinds this will increase the bitterness of the coffee. Now some will like this but most won't. heating the water first is just a more taste friendly way of making a moka pot coffee.

[@user-sw9ow2fp9e]

@@benjaminmartinred6561I bought one of the instant water dispensers that was inexpensive and only heats the water on demand. That works well for pre-heated water for the Moka Pot while reducing the time to heat the water compared to a standard kettle. But common I think with these is that it has a setting for boiling, but reaches 195 max. So not good for boiling water. I have a kettle for that.

[@mangeshinde]

Amazing, thanks 😁

[@SisterMidnite]

Love how you say Moka! But what did you do with all the foam left in the cafetiere?

[@BN99239]

Instead of running it under cold tap water, I just put cold tap water into a bowl and submerge the bottom of the moka pot into it when I'm done. It's a quicker, simpler motion that is has low risks because you're just dropping the moka pot straight in, instead of holding a boiling pot, bring over to the sink, turn on the water in 1 hand, angle the pot so that the water hits the bottom while at the same time not angle it too much that the coffee will come out or if you have a pot with bad o-ring which can cause that boiling water to run out and possibly injure you.

Mukka Express! Perfectly enjoyable cappuccino from a Bialetti moka derived design that takes HALF the time of a moka pot to produce the finished product.

[@popatop75]

i'll try it but not the preheat the water thanks

[@pedrosimplicio3574]

Hi, tks for the video. What proportion did you use of coffee and milk in the cappuccino?

[@sakshimisri9589]

How many cups of coffee will it make or in ml ? And how much milk in ml to be added per cup ? Please give an example .

[@TheKogly]

I love That coffee and also Two Stoies

[@linhmeiji]

Are you using a 3cup pot?

[@chrisquin9]

Cant see what you have created in the end?

[@jkk1253]

nice

[@prabal19]

What should be the ratio of milk and coffee for cappuccino?

[@atilafernandes5053]

1/3 coffee, 1/3 milk, 1/3 milk foam

[@AustinPetDetective]

I find the moka pot boils so much faster using gas, can produce coffee around 2 - 3 mins compared to 5 mins on a electric cooktop ?

[@pranavpandey9730]

Yes that's true.

[@jshaw6600]

It will boil in less than 2 mins on an induction cooktop.

[@sO_RoNerY]

gas can get hotter than electric stove tops.

[@OscarAbarcaChinchilla]

Induction is quicker than gas, and gas is quicker than regular electric stoves.

[@pinballrobbie]

I use gas because I can control the temperature better.

[@she2302]

Well you need a Moka Pot and milk frother

[@aliasadghani]

Ratios, what ratio to use for latte. Coffee in grams, water for moka and milk?

[@sakarepmu1190]

Hi, just trying to answer your questions. If you use moka pot the amount of water is depends on the size of the moka pot itself, but for the general use just fill the water into the boiler until it touch the bottom of the pressure valve, the amount of coffee is also depends on the funnel size, usually 3 cups size moka pot can hold up to 18 grams on the funnel, and 6 cups moka pot can hold up to 20-25 grams of ground coffee in the funnel, but if you're lazy like me, the easiest way is just fill the funnel with ground coffee until half full then tap the funnel lightly to spread the coffee evenly on the bottom, then fill the funnel until its full, no need to tamping the funnel just remove the excess like on the video using your finger without pressing it. Hope that helps 😉.

[@aliasadghani]

@@sakarepmu1190 Hi, thank you for the reply. I have the smallest size moka pot which holds around 50 ml water. I do fill the funnel as you mentioned (it takes around 7-9 grams of coffee). What I just want to confirm is how much milk to use for latte as I can't get that ratio right.

[@sakarepmu1190]

@Ali Asad You're welcome, and regarding the coffee vs milk ratio, I would say it's depends on how you like it, I see some peoples doing 1 part espresso and 3 part of milk for latte, and there are others that also do 1 : 4 even 1 : 5, and since the moka pot doesn't produce "real" espresso, it's close to espresso, so you may try with 1 : 2 first and then adjust until you find what you like, personally for me 1 : 3 is good enough, cheers 😉

[@wibiutomo1339]

What's grinder size u use for mokapot?

[@pyromaniak678]

I've seen people say different things. You don't want to go too fine because it can be bitter and make the drink a little powdery,and can clog in the process. Too coarse and it will be very weak coffee. I stick to either a standard drip grind, but a little more coarse if I can. A little more coarse and it's good for French press. Tbh it's a little trail and error,i find it Adlai depends on the roast

[@TekGriffon]

To add on to what pyro said, you'll also need to watch out for channeling. Too fine of a grind and the pressure will work it's way through a channel giving you a really weak, ruined brew. So you ideally want something between espresso and pour-over (but not to french press levels, which is coarse). If you're using a lighter roast, you want a bit on the finer side and if you're using a dark roast you'll want to bit on the coarser side.

[@sO_RoNerY]

Well I mean, if you don't have a gas stove, maybe those scented candles with three inflammable ropes/strings will be best lol.

[@zeynepuzun1728]

Güzel türküler

[@Reynevan100]

I dont recommend runnig it under cold tap water or submerging the bottom in a bowl of cold water. To stop brewing, just blow on the bottom for a couple seconds, all you need is to bring the temperature low enough to stop the flow to the upper chamber. Pour coffee out immediately into a cup. If youre fast enough, dont even bother blowing. As to why avoid cold water, well, if you cool the bottom chamber real quick, you might create a vacuum. It could pull the basket into the bottom chamber. You wont be able to fix it.

[@calbaby-rh7wv]

Would agree..I pour straight away

[@chetus91]

Seriously? You think blowing on a boiling hot pot made of aluminum is going to cool it down by even a bit? That's crazy. Just pour the coffee out straight away, it won't get over-extracted. But blowing on a pot that's just off the stove won't do jack shit. Even running it under water for 10 seconds doesn't cool it down by that much, you can still hear it bubbling hot inside the lower chamber.

[@scubanplz]

It could warp from the cold shock.

Why don't I get any crema when I brew using the Moka pot?

[@RountonCoffeeRoasters]

Could be a couple of things - you might want to try grinding a little finer, or using coffee that has been more freshly roasted (if you aren't already).

[@albertkristmas59]

You cant. Crema is the oil fron the bean you get when you make espresso. In order to make esspresso you need a machine which can apply around 8 bars of pressure. A stove top cant apply 8 bars of pressure therefore its impossible to get crema with a stovetop. The coffee from a stovetop isnt esspresso and in order to make a cappucino you need an espresso therefor it isnt possible to make a cappucino with a stovetop. This is actualy basic knowledge any decent barista could tell you so I have no idea what the intention of this video is. But great job anyway you made a great latte kind of thing.

[@albertkristmas59]

Ps. The foam you get on top of your coffee in this video, isnt crema its just foam.

[@albertkristmas59]

Ps this is the best way to use a mokkapot shown in the video use boiling water so you dont over extract and the stovetop has the best coffee than most coffemachines you have ever tasted for about. Best invention next to hand lever espresso machines.

*How possibly, you can call Percolator a mocha pot ?!* - An English or American invention ?

[@alancharlesworth2153]

Italian, I believe about 1930s, MOKA is the brand name, made a great comeback due to the last 12 months!!

[@RubenRyb66]

Na a percalator is a bit different. Moka pots shoot water up through the grinds once at a relatively high pressure, whereas a percolator is constantly cycling water through the grinds while its over heat. Also percolators are american in origin and moka pots are italian

[@joeyseabaugh6742]

Moka pot and percolator are two totally different processes. Totally different flavors

[@ELENTE_]

Dude.. thats not a capuchino... thats a latte...

[@RountonCoffeeRoasters]

Still, a pretty neat trick if you want to froth milk at home though right? A little bit more french press action and you'd have deliciously foamy milk 👍🏻

[@travelswithmybelly]

That's what I came to say. It isn't even a latte since cappuccino and latte both call for exact and different ratios of coffee, milk and foam. You made a milky coffee. To be fair it's still delicious. I do the same because I can't be bothering measuring out the ratios.

[@Mrkva22296]

I came for instructions how to make a cappuccino in a moka pot and what I got instead was him using 2/3 of the video explaining how to use the moka pot. Literally. Guys, skip to 5:25 - he's already made coffee in the moka pot and this is what follows (this is the how to make cappuccino part).
