Moka Pot Voodoo: Real Espresso Flavor

Congrats on the shout out from James Hoffman.

[@wiredgourmet]

Thanks :)

[@dfgonzalez0]

I have to give credit where credit is due, your method was so clear and concise that I understood it immediately and successfully brewed a great cup of coffee without any hints of bitterness, I have seen countless videos demonstrating the typical brewing method but I’m convinced this is the only way to correctly use a Mika pot. Thank you!

[@BoogityBarnes]

I agree. I have watched other videos on how to use the Moka pot and had to laugh because no one detailed the process in similar ways. Some lid up, some lid down, some preheat water, some never preheat water. I made my first pot yesterday following some other rules and the coffee was horribly week and flavorless. Thank you. Today I will attempt your method.

[@ikonoklast7]

Like a lot of the commenters here, I used to think my Bialetti was only capable of making burnt, bitter sewage only suitable for being drowned in milk and sugar. I tried your method this morning and couldn't believe how rich and lusciously textured it came out! Thanks for sharing your technique.

[@wiredgourmet]

My pleasure :)

[@laowai2000]

Yeah, amazing if used right. Quite ashamed have only now learnt how to use correctly. I used to walk off and let it boil dry!

[@B0K1T0]

This is actually my favorite moka pot tutorial because the process is so simple. It mainly boils down to try to stay close to the sweet spot where there is just enough coffee flowing that it doesn't stall. Personally I start cooling underneath the water tap as soon as it the first sputters appear (which look noticeably different when it gets past the "point of no return"). So far I got satisfactory results with it and I like how simple this process is, no hassle with measurements or timers and just play around and get that feeling for it, which is kinda rewarding if it works out well :)

Many months ago, when I bought Moka Pot, I followed James Hoffmann method and it never tasted good. Then I came across this video and made so much better coffee. Delighted, I shared the link of this video on one of James Hoffmann’s videos as a comment and he watched it. In his ‘the ultimate moka pot technique episode 3’ video, he gave a shout out to this channel at 8:54 time stamp 😊

[@jakamar42]

Both are similar in technique. Hoffman, being British, over explains it. But first try was very good. I have a stainless steel one. Cheers.

[@CO-kd6sd]

@@jakamar42 I'd say this video overexplains it as Hoffman's is simpler. Understanding the heat application is important but it's overemphasized in this video. YMMV but I've gotten great coffee from my moka pot with less work than what's explained here.

Extremely happy with the result. I used to simply put in cold water and use max temperature until I could hear the bubbles; the coffee tasted burnt but strong. I then started using boiled water, which improved flavour a lot. This is the next step in the journey…

[@WhereRweNow]

I’ve grown up with Moka pots all my life with hand me downs from my Italian Grandfather. I’ve watched many videos on you tube showing good tips and tricks on how to get the best brew from Moka pots. I had a good system in place and can make good coffee from the Moka pot, but you added the science with a tweak here and there and I got to say after following your steps, it was the best tasting espresso that I have made from my Moka pot. I am very surprised at the difference. Your version produced a fuller bodied coffee with less bitterness. I am now off to work with a big smile on my face. Thank you for sharing. N.B. The timings of my brew fell into line with your instructions.

[@lukaszostrega442]

I am surprised by so many negative (and also offensive) comments. I haven't tried the method that The Wired Gourmet proposes yet, but I am impressed by the logic behind his explanations. One may continue to prepare the moka in old style way (=cold water into the bottom chamber and then letting the coffee gurgle) and can also argue with this method, but lets argue using logic and facts.. I have used Moka Pots for years (old style Italian way) and must say there's plenty room for improvement when it comes to the coffee taste, texture, body.. So why don't try this method even out of curiosity?

[@wiredgourmet]

Nice of you to say. And I think you'll like the Voodoo method :)

[@mexist]

Yes to this! In the same boat and this is the best and most detailed breakdown. I've been burning or making watery coffee with my mokapot and I'm excited to try this!

[@mexist]

I tried this today and I think i got a solid puck, but is it supposed to come out pretty dark? My wife says it smells burned to her instead of the usual coffee smell when I do slow pour. It's more concentrated so I figure the smell might be a bit more intense too right? Or is this wrong. I'll take my answer off the air.

[@ahmedrawat7952]

@@mexist you’re 100% right. More concentrated is the best way to describe what moka pot is, compared to pour over. It depends on the roast, they’ll usually come out darker than their pre brewed state, so if you’re using a dark roast then it’ll look charred. It’s worth noting that dark roasts, anecdotally this has been my experience, tend to smell charred or Smokey after brewing. Go by taste of the brew rather than smell of the puck. ;)

[@AsAMonkeyInAPinata]

@@mexist don’t do It. You’ll ruin your moka pot following this video. Or burn yourself. It goes against almost a 100 years of Italian testing. Starting at room temp on medium heat and removing it from the stove maybe 10-15 seconds after it starts flowing is the way to go. You put it back a few seconds if it stops flowing to quickly, but not much more. And you DON’T cool the base in water. That’s the best way to ruin your seal.

This video is completely amazing. I was getting bitter coffe with the classical "use cold water to stop the extraction process" that everyone else says. Then tried this way. Made a perfect puck, then heated it slowly, and finished the brewing process with less water than normal. The coffee tasted like goddamn chocolate. Like CHOCOLATE! and no bitterness to be found. Excellent video. Definetly the best moka pot technique i've found on the internet. In my experience i fill the puck as many times as necessary to make it perfectly even and full (also with the filter on the bottom it's normal that it takes a few shakes for the coffee to occupy the whole space, but the result is so worth it). Also, i still don't have an aeropress. Otherwise i would try that method as well. Bought the moka pot and french press 3 weeks ago to begin my coffee adventure, and thanks to you now i'm a moka pot magician! Cheers! For the moka pot voodo gods and their prophet 😜

@@rumpel.856 maybe the coffee is too dark? try with medium roasted coffee, and with something that has sugary notes. Dark roasted coffees are never well recieved in my stomach. Let's say in a range from 1-10, anything above 6.5 is a no no. And also, try starting with cold water. This sometimes sweetens the brew. It depends on how dark the roast is.

[@mesri3]

Thank you so much. Your video and the Bould Brothers video put me on the right path to great moka pot coffee. In short, I fill the basket about 3/4th, fill water just under the valve, place it on a flame well within the walls and as soon as the coffee starts spouting, i turn the flame to minimum and let the coffee spout very slowly. Then, when the flow rate increases at the end, i take it off and as usual, place it in a vessel of tap water till the valve mark. Been getting consistently good cups ever since. Damn! Where were you guys all this time!

I bought a Moka Pot recently and have been struggling a bit. Watched a bunch of videos, all running down very similar processes, and still getting consistently shit coffee despite following the steps and precautions.

I really appreciate it and thanks for putting in the time to make this and share your experience.

[@wiredgourmet]

Thanks for that!

[@gogothegogo]

In my experience when I was learning the Moka, shit coffee means your grind size is not correct for moka. All other details (pre heating, wet bed, removing at the right moment) mainly lower the bitterness, but the wrong grind size will give completely off taste. Too coarse will give tea like taste (like you make a tea of coffee beans), and too fine will screw up the process and give either watery coffee (because of collapsing, as explained in this video) either severely burned taste (because you choked the brewing process).

just discovered your moka pot vids yesterday. So here's a story for you: This morning I used your method that you describe in this video with the addition of the hack you mention in your "advanced moka" video of putting an aeropress filter on top of the basket. (I figured if I put one there I don't one on the bottom of the basket as well--the one on top should help prevent channeling as well as filtering out the "mud".) when I served it to my wife, she sipped it and said, "mmmm, it's good. It's sweet! Did you add sugar?" No I did not add sugar. Your method works so well to bring out the sweetness of the coffee that she thought I'd added sugar. So thanks for these tips: loading the basket, pre-infusing, timing the brew, and the paper filter on top. Great ideas that work! Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
