How does a moka pot work?

[@RHiei88]

I'm italian, i don't put boiling water unless i want to give my grandma a heart attack, and i don't ''press'' the coffee (you do that with expresso machine because the procedure it's faster) neither i add water on the coffee powder. You don't put 200ml of water, according to the size of your moka pot, you fill water up to half of the tiny round valve you see inside. Hope this helps

[@shawngadwa269]

I used to live in Italy. Italians typically keep things simple thus you wouldn't weigh the coffee or pre-heat the water. I'm not saying your coffee is bad by any means, I just believe this technique is better. James Hoffman made a detailed video about this, I would encourage you to watch it. Pre-heating the water makes for a faster brew and helps ensure your coffee isn't overheated. Weighing out the water and coffee also isn't necessary, but it helps ensure that your coffee is consistent each and every time. The only thing I'd change is you really don't need to tamp at all. I just tap on the counter to level out and compact the grounds.

The only important thing about this is what kind of coffee will you put in it and how fine is grinded. If the coffee is baked not more than month ago it would be good.

They were Italian and didn't speak much English, they were very grateful and very sweet about what we did. They insisted before we left that if we didn't take any money that we must stay for some "proper Italian coffee" they had some good quality beans that they'd brought over from Italy and they served us the coffee.

still using mokapot to this day, its freakin cheap, practically indestructible and doesnt need any special maintenance. the perfect way to did this is, first grind your coffee to medium fine, on a scale 1-10 lets say 2,5. remember to always use a fresh roasted coffee. put the ground coffee on the basket and dont tamper it! you can spread evenly by using spoon handle put a pre-heated water on the water chamber until just a bit below the pressure valve, and this is the hack, take a paper filter from aeropress with a diameter exactly like a diameter of your mokapot coffee basket and put it on top of coffee ground. on the stove, use the heat as low as possible and wait for couple minutes. after seconds the espresso start flowing you will hear the gurgling, turn down the stove immediately and take out your mokapot if your espresso is not flowing smoothly and no foam whatsoever then you did it wrong, it will only make your coffee taste more bitter

A great tutorial on how to NOT make coffee with a Moka... Never put boiling water, the extraction must be slow... And, for god's sake, never NEVER put water on grounded coffee, I beg you in the name of the Italian population

[@edward3320]

Putting boiling water in the bottom isn't changing the extraction time. The extraction starts when the water in the bottom chamber is boiling. If you put cold water in, it will take a long time from when you put it on the stove until the water is boiling. If you put room temperature water it will take less time. If you put boiling water it will take almost no time. Once the water is boiling it will begin to build pressure and extract. As normal. Regardless of what temperature the water was when it first entered the pot. There will be a difference, which is how much the grounds have been heated by conduction through the aluminium as the water heats. They will be heated a lot more if you use colder water. I haven't heard evidence either way, but I'd imagine it's better to not bake your coffee grounds before extracting them.

[@sirpatrickofgoober6603]

Thank you Edward, very clear and helpful. Pretty much the only reasoned post on the whole thread.

[@marcofrassica9031]

Edward, I'm a chemist... And to everyone that know basic thermodynamics/chemistry that's some clear bulls***... If water is boiling, it doesn't mean the temperature can't get over 100° celsius degree... Higher temperature may lead to the extraction of bitter compounds and burn others. Nonetheless, coffee must be heated homogeneously to get a good extraction and to not burn, and you can get that by having a slow raise in the temperature (basic thermodynamics)... So, yeah, all of what is in your post doesn't have much sense to someone how knows what they're talking about, sorry :) Putting boiling water it's not only useless, but stupid just as to wet the coffee before... General advice to the readers: know nothing about the topic? Don't talk! :)

You don't have to measure. Just fill the water to the pressure valve, fill the top part with coffe and put it on the stove on medium to high temperature.

[@asdsasds6224]

Why you Americans have to make everything complicated and fancy just put cold ass water some coffe and done... Americans ☕

[@CFIREKytb]

In b4 people realize the new Moka recipe is from a Brit.

[@AMalas]

Why the hell are you swirling the water into the base 😅

[@neyaneya5554]

Tapping it down is so bad and moka pots should not have fine grounds.

[@TheMythh]

Protip: if your moka is hissing you can u've over-extracted or burned your brew

[@dingdongdickweed6288]

Or you didn't screw it together all the way...

"200 grams of water" 😭😭😭 tell me you're american w/o actually telling me you're american.

[@SoftEarthHoney]

I’m not Italian and even I know not to use boiling water or press the grounds down. I do, however, add either crushed star anise OR lavender buds to the grounds when I’m feeling fancy.

[@younggod5230]

you are arrogant, ignorant and embarassingly wrong. using boiling water is fine. As soon as your "boiling water" leaves the boiler/pot, it will be at a perfectly fine temperature. It will not be literally boiling inside the moka pot. And he doesn't PRESS the coffee. He just flattens it. Really nothing special.

This is how we make coffee in Morocco, I had no idea it has a name 😅😅 We don't use boiling water tho, just water. And we definitely don't put water on top of the grinded coffee 😭

[@Anonymous-XY]

I'm Moroccan too an i agree

[@idek7438]

This is how we do it in Italy too

[@ggfhjgfdg354]

Just put the water in normally, you don’t need to circle it like an idiot

[@urface310]

You should definitely check out James Hoffmann's video on the moka pot. He has some great tips for using The moka pot. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJenfaJ_q8djrZY

Italians pulling cold tap water and measuring nothing, their only measuring tool the intuition of their foremothers and God:

And I'm pretty sure the coffee turns out better than this lol

this reminds me of my freinds Abuela's when I used ot live in Miami.. I miss them all they were all awesome AWESOME COOKS! and sweet as could be uela's..

[@filthy_peasant_the_one2134]

How many memories, how many afternoons of aunts and uncles coming around to my grandma’s house, how many mokas of freshly brewed coffee, the smell in the air. It’s always nostalgic

Cold water + NEVER pat coffee

Grams of water. Jesus h christ

This is how I’ll always make coffee, I love you nonna ❤

[@panama-canada]

And it does not create steam. Percolator works by sending bubbles up the pipe together with hot water that has to travel through coffee. Amateur!

[@oyeyae]

I didnt have one, im not italian But cool

No pre-infusion is necessary. Nope. Nada.

[@Yorokobi224]

My best friend loved his Keurig. When he came over, I didn't want to make a whole pot of coffee, so I used my espresso maker. He bought one when he got home and the Keurig went bye bye. 😂

[@Karawoolfe]

No just no, don't follow this tutorial

[@itsjustsushi2023]

Bro spendin 5k just to get 1% better coffee

[@hj7947]

$5k? We went to Venice and I bought one for under $50 this year…

[@fernandomardones6743]

Where I live you can get one for like five bucks

[@LiamRoberts-jx8ez]

These are like $50 lmao

[@aanshuk]

It all depends on size of the moka pot and brand, but they range from 10-50$. Mine was 20$ for an aluminum, 3-cup, moka pot.

[@LiamRoberts-jx8ez]

@@aanshuk Idk but i probably got scammed or the price in canada is higher, my basic bialetti 3-cup was 50$ with taxes at walmart

i'm not italian, bujt i wonder, is there any other tool to make coffee without a machine ?

[@Venti.the.bard.613]

@@leepisin8211 yes the way we normally do it at home is by boiling a stick of cinnamon in a big pot of water then adding sugar and coffee once it boils. It’s great because you don’t need to add milk or creamer and it’s called cafe de la olla

[@leepisin8211]

@@Venti.the.bard.613 but you are drinking the coffee grains no ?? i mean , you strain the coffee with coffee paper right ? i mean using a moka pot is more convenient since you don't have to care about the residue of coffee

[@Venti.the.bard.613]

@@leepisin8211 it’s a lot more water than coffee so the coffee dissolved into the water there’s no need to strain it and it’s not grainy at all

You should definitely make merch! I love your glassware , but it’s a little out of my budget. You should definitely make shirts and mugs! If you ever do, I would love to buy them!
