Experiment: Bialetti Moka Pot, but brewed with MILK?

[@CaveyMoth]

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. I'm impressed that it went so well.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

People were asking if this would work, so I tried it for them. Cheers!

[@jm.varian911]

Thanks Tom! It's one of the honest "I tried x so you don't have to" kind of thing.

[@eru2135]

First comment for the first time in my life! In any cases, thanks for doing the science for me, I’ve always wanted to try, but was scared for my Bialetti!

[@sivanm2130]

I appreciate the spirit of just experimenting

[@maxd5007]

I'm not a chemical engineer but I would think the fats and sugars in the milk would burn to the bottom of the portion of the percolator and what is left would evaporate and become coffee - I would think because the tasty parts are left behind this would be pretty awful. Thank you for testing.

[@PositivelyNice]

This channel is slowly overtaking other coffee channels as my top watch. ❤ I recently tested whether e.s.e pods can be used with a Bialetti (2 cups) and sadly, no. The Moka Pot does not punch flavour out of e.s.e pods. But if you ever find a way to use the coffee powder in the e.s.e pods SIMPLY, I would appreciate it.

[@lucasbackdahl5874]

Can't you just open the pods up and use the ground coffee inside? Although you might need a couple of paper filters if you're using a moka pot

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

That's so kind of you, thank you for the encouragement! You could rip open the ESE pods and put the grounds in there - a bit fiddly though I'm sure.

[@Shadowguy456234]

As a lactose intolerant person with a mild milk allergy I can safely say I have never thought this, once. But, still worth watching

[@TheDAHKY]

That was fun! Thanks for taking one for the team, Tom!

[@orrinbelcher6593]

You Rock, so kind sacrificing your beautiful Bialetti for us coffee lovers, they asked, you answered, now we know, that is why you have an amazing and wonderful show. Thank you

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

@@orrinbelcher6593 Thank you sir!

[@MvMx-v2l]

Cool to see experiments every now and then that are out of the comfort zone. Thanks for sharing! Appreciate it.

[@joellenlevitre2590]

I love experiments like this, and I'm glad he did this so I didn't have to.

[@johne7100]

I'd guess that the milk got burnt as well as boiled.

[@roberthimmelsbach5937]

Thanks you did that. Always wondered if that worked….now I know, without having to rescue my Bialetti 😂By the way looks like you live in germany. So merry xmas from around here👍

[@DrGonzibert]

Please don’t do that, anybody. High temp will denature milk (bad taste) and create a film on the liquid surface that could clog the filter and the safety valve. If you like caffellatte, add the milk later.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Good advice! I also don't recommend doing this. Taste was not good, and probably something will get clogged.

[@DrGonzibert]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner exactly. Clogged mokas could explode! It’s not a bomb, but I won’t wish it to anybody.

[@espacesX]

Last Chance. Pril Ultra (with enzymes). The smaller Blue bottle. Enzymes Break everything overnight. Do Not use hot water as the enzymes will be damaged then.

[@dereinzigwahreRichi]

James Hoffmann should definitely see this, that's something for his series of weird coffee science... Maybe you should send it to him? The traditional Bialetti has a quite porous and uneven surface in the bottom part, I 100% expected a difficult cleanup. Some other version made of stainless steel might be better suited for these kinds of shenanigans, you could also toss it in the dishwasher afterwards.

[@fgmenth]

I appreciate you doing experiments like these so we don't have to 😂. I wonder what your next experiment will be. Maybe brew tea in a portafilter perhaps?

[@Giuliana-w1f]

could you try with powdered milk on top of the coffee? also, could you try a 3.5Bar "steam espresso" machine? they're sold as "espresso", but are basically just fancy electric Moka pots with a portafilter and a steam wand; i think they could be nice if used correctly (preheated), and maybe modified with a dimer (to limit the ~800W) or even just a diode (half power)

[@d0nnerknispel64]

Interesting, thanks for trying. I would have loved a direct comparison with the same amount of coffee clasically brewed and milk added afterwards. Then, the color texture and taste could even be more compared

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Oh, it'll be better with milk added afterwards. This was just an experiment that people were asking for, but the Bialetti was not made for this.

[@SunriseLAW]

1:55 I was just about to stand up and try it out with my Bialetti Mukka, a higher-pressure moka pot that sort-of-makes cappuccino. 2:50 what a mess, no way.

[@abetrve]

My thoughts on this experiment are that any moka pot that comes with a piece of paper will have the words "Fill the reservoir ONLY with water", because if you use milk which the safety valve isn't designed for, you're making a bomb

[@stefanweilhartner4415]

what about adding a pinch of salt and a bit of magnesium citrate to the water?

[@Howie-bz5pe]

Could you yes. Should you? Well thank you for taking one for the team 😂

[@danchan5620]

I did it with cold brew, pour over too. It is too expensive to for a slightly sweeter creamy taste. You are using lavazzi pre-ground, it will taste bad, bitter and sour.

[@VillasManzanillocom]

Shardor 64mm it’s now on the other coffee Channel too, Hoon.

[@roobeshbalaji9282]

Tom, I need some cheaper coffee bean recommendations man, I'll keep the local roasters for special occasions, but I need something cheap and tasty every day. Which supermarket brand do you recommend in Germany. I've seen you mention that lavazza has that 2 years since roast date thing, does that work for any other brand or just lavazza?

[@1101naomi]

It’s a ‘good to know’ experiment. Now I don’t have to try it. lol. Thanks!

[@VillasManzanillocom]

#TomsCoffeeCorner Thanks for the experiment! Great video. Since you're the coffee budget king, what do you think of the new flat burr grinder on the block-the Shardor 64mm? I’ve been using it for 2 weeks, and it's an amazing upgrade from my old Bodum. Would be awesome if you could make a video about it! Thanks for all the knowledge you share with the community!

[@SunriseLAW]

Excellent find at $160. Made by Ninja/Shark, which has a good reputation. I just bought a df-54 but would have definitely looked at the Shardor 64 had i been aware.

[@VillasManzanillocom]

@@SunriseLAW i got it for 130. there is a coupon for 30. i got it before it becomes famous and gets expensive. there was no reviews when i got it, but im glad its better than what i thought

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Hmm, looks like crazy value, but I don't see it available in Europe currently. I'll have to look into that soon enough though.

[@VillasManzanillocom]

@ I truly belive is better than df64 since it has brass collar and 550rpm and no clogging and Ionazer. I’m from Mexico but got it from a friend with acces to Amazon us. I just found a video with pretty much the exact same grinder just little diffenrt top collar I searched on KZbin MÁY XAY CÀ PHÊ TỰ ĐỘNG G9A, it shows all grinder sizes in action if you wanna see it. If I can help you let me know. I’m super excited about this is totally a bargain, it will go up in price once it becomes famous like df64.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

I'm guessing/sure the inside of the basket is full of residue.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Could be...

[@glloyd9707]

Nice try at coffee Reversi! I guess putting hot milk into Moka pot coffee after is still the way to go. 😊

[@paulwiggins183]

The inside of the basket will clog gradually until the relief valve blows. maybe.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Haha, well I don't plan on doing this more than once. Cheers!

[@stephenwilliams4406]

Hi Tom, Not sure how to contact you, but what's the latest on the Kafmasino One? You made a couple videos 2 years ago, but I don't see anything since. Are they still in business? Is it still an option for a lower price point 'Decent'? Thanks.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

@@stephenwilliams4406 Hi! They’re still around, and you can find them on Instagram. I’ve never had a Decent, so I cannot really judge that. I think the Apex V2 is actually the best deal for the money, and the Kafmasino is maybe nice to play with profiles. Cheers!

[@lucasbackdahl5874]

You could always try to use some cafiza to clean out the bottom part

[@SgtRocko]

One of my cousins in Italia does half milk/half water and swears by it... I'm a bit nervous to try it but it's INTRIGUING...

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Does he/she clean it each time? I wonder how sticky the sugars in the half/half are.

[@espacesX]

French Press with Hot Milk?

[@AlanBrighto]

Where are all the Italians shaking their heads right now? 😂

[@fyxzepiealot5519]

You can buy bialetti stainless steel. Wont ruin it if you try this as you can put it in the dishwasher, - rubber ring

[@DoozyyTV]

It looked delicious, maybe with some sugar it'll be tasty

[@4nc13nt]

I did, but then you have to open the metal plate scuring the coffee and scrub it with a thin straw brush.. it's not that simple.

[@petes_CE]

I think I would just buy another moka pot after this, haha

[@EdgneyHolanda]

What about nonfat milk? Maybe better to clean.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Hmm, maybe. But it will still likely have the sugars.

[@EdgneyHolanda]

@TomsCoffeeCorner but the problem is the fat, not the sugar. I think.

[@RealSamski]

Wtf you activated the auto translation?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

YT recently did that. What translation did it show for you?

[@RealSamski]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner it's auto translated with Ai the whole video. Sounds really awful and unnecessary.

[@OmarHawari-g7c]

That coffee looks creamy tho

[@erwinancer]

You cannot use milk as it will burn and definitely go over 70° C limit .That’s why it burnt….. nice experiment but definitely not to do

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

I think the sugars in the milk stuck to the bottom and got a little fringed. I definitely don't recommend doing this, for the cleanup alone, lol.

[@jovankadoo]

Either way, didn't like removal/hiding my comment. Good luck in future endeavors!

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

I haven't even made it to the comments yet. If you put links in your comments, YT often removes them. Cheers!

@@TomsCoffeeCorner don't know nor can't know what happened, i saw your likes on comments, so you were here "in comments". No links in my missing comment
