Here in italy this is basically the only way you make coffee at home, and there's a very important hospitality culture around it. My mother has four different moka pots of different sizes so she can always make the right amount of coffee for the number of guests we have, cause it's basically mandatory to ask your guests if they want some coffee, especially after a meal or during the afternoon. Also it's kinda adorable how she was like "the coffee is so bitter!" "How do I use this thing??". I've been using moka pots since I was like 10 y/O cause my mother would always send me to make coffee while she chatted with guests. Also yeah, coffee made this way is more rich and strong in taste than American coffee (which is pretty bland) so it's understandable that it may be a little strange for you to drink. It's the reason I don't really drink coffee, too

[@idek7438]

I don't think there's a single household in Italy that doesn't have at least one moka pot. They make them in all sizes from teeny tiny pots that yield half a cup of coffee to giant 12-person pots. Also yeah being the person in charge of making coffee from the age of 10 is relatable lol

[@0peppers]

Just a note, when they say coarser than espresso, on most home grinders the smallest setting is coarser than espresso, so you can go with that. Your grind looks big enough for pour over, which is a no no here. Also, burr grinders are preferred over blade because blade grinders don't grind evenly

[@mamaharumi]

That grind size is too coarse even for pour over. Really, freshly roasted preground is going to be significantly better than freshly ground out of a blade grinder.

You need to add more coffee grounds and don't press down on them, otherwise the coffee will be weak and bitter. Unlike an espresso machine a Moka Pot isn't made to exert pressure on packed coffee grounds You also want to take it off the heat before it starts spurting And never wash it with soap

[@mcssy]

@@yunaelia Yes, you are pretty much right, it can taste soapy and even foam if not washed properly with running water. also a thing I heard is that with every coffee you make a little bit of coffee oil stays on the inside of the pot, creating a layer that protects your coffee drink from touching the metal that it cooks inside of. Unfortunately, coffee oil has a colour of, well, coffee, so it looks like it's dirty. I do wash mine once in a while with soap and then run it without coffee, only water, to clean up.

[@oilyskinguru]

Yeah hilarious 😂

[@oilyskinguru]

​@pseudoplotinus that grinder will not give equal grind size to the coffee beans. She needs a grinder that can adjust the grind size. Grind size affects the coffee taste. If the grind size is too fine, the water might not go up, and the coffee will be bitter and acidic. Coarser grinds can lead to under-extraction due to the faster brewing process. The result is often a weak, watery, and underwhelming cup of coffee that lacks the desired depth of flavor.

[@beatricebongiovanni2307]

Some advices on moka from an Italian: Never wash your moka with soap, coffee leaves a sort of patina on the aluminum that prevents the metal flavour, so use just water. The coffee grain should be smaller, in Italy it is used a very powdery coffee, the same (circa) used in an espresso machine. Water should be put in at room temperature reaching the middle of the valve. Coffee should be filling entirely its little department but should not be pressed while filling it with the spoon. And to prevent spillage or burning coffee once you hear a sort of whistle/ loud bubbling you should remove it from the stove, the residual warmth will continue to make the coffee go to the upper chamber without ruining it!!! I think that's all! Hope to be helpful!!!

Here’s a tip: NEVER wash it with soap after you’ve used it the more you brew the better the coffee only rinse with water also you brew and dump about 4 times with a new Greka before you drink it. That’s what we call it in DR 🇩🇴 Good Luck! (Also this makes regular coffee just add less grinds) 👍🏽

I think the reason she said "UK mood" is because the moka pot is pretty popular over here and she might've heard about it/tried it for the first time from someone in the UK so that's her association with it, obviously it originates from Italy

[@RayOfSunhine2012]

Jest bought a French press and used that to make myself coffee this morning. Honestly really liked it. Also as a trucker in training my trainers really don't like making stops just to get coffee so this really helps. Think I'll only have French pressed coffee from now on. Those wondering how I boil water I have an electric tea kettle that boils fast

[@professorquarter]

You really do need to heat the pot on a lower temperature so it doesn't boil over like that (listen to those videos) except MAYBE at the very end. A low-very low flame and a bit of patience does wonders. It also leads to fewer grounds in your coffee. Also, be sure to run the bottom part of the pot under cold tap water, removing it from the flame before it finishes, just as the stream is turning white and bubbly. Fewer grounds and unpleasant tastes that way. If it starts to boil over and bubble violently, you are overdue to remove it from the flame and run the cold water down the sides of the bottom. Also, you can grind finer than what it tells you to in the instructions. I grind for Moka pot just a smidge above how I grind for espresso. Again, listen to the videos, you can go even finer than you showed in the video here. Assuming you do it right, this won't lead to an increase in grounds in the final product. If it ever starts always boiling violently no matter what you do, you may need to descale it, which simply means letting the pieces soak in diluted vinegar with warm water then scrubbing.

I don't get how she watched multiple videos about brewing coffee in a pot and still got the fundamentals wrong? Like keeping the lit open, filling the basket completely... So many easy steps she just kind of ignored?

@@thejusmar in Italy we don't really close it: we turn of the fire right when it starts to come out from the top, so that it won't burn and overflow making the "volcano thing", we also have little metal hats to put on top so it won't go out. The coffee needs to take air, that's why we don't close it (but there are a lot of different ways people do it so maybe another Italian will tell a totally different thing)

To up your coffee game: get a burr grinder. Blade grinders are not optimal (and useless). With ceramic burrs you'll have a consistant grind size and thus a better extraction

[@iceman5117]

Heyheyhey, blade grinders have a use. They're great for spices and dried chilis, just not coffee

[@yari139]

I’m from PR this is one of two ways that coffee was ever made at home. I never knew anyone that had a coffee machine at home, not even the rich people. Lol. It’s called a percolator. Never heard it called a moka pot. Once coffee starts coming out the top, just immediately take it off the heat, it’ll continue to brew. No need to run it under cold water at all, which is not good for that metal anyway if it’s still hot. If you leave it in the stove past that, you’re just burning it and making the coffee bitter. Also, did you pour hot water in it before putting it on the stove? That’s a no no. And don’t wash it with soap either, just rinse it out.

[@koDaffi]

It's a percolator in the US too. It's what we used before coffee pots. The glass ones are awesome.
