Your Guide To Moka Pot

1

Fill the lower chamber with hot water. Starting hot means less time on the heat, which means a sweeter, less bitter cup. Fill it up to the safety valve.

2

Add 15–18 g of ground coffee to the filter basket and level it gently. Don't tamp, the Moka Pot needs space for pressure to build on its own.

3

Screw the top and bottom chambers together firmly. Place on your stove over medium-low heat with the lid open so you can watch what's happening.

4

As the water heats, coffee will begin rising into the upper chamber. When the flow lightens and you hear a gentle gurgling sound, take it off the heat immediately.

5

Close the lid and let it finish on residual heat. For a sweeter finish, run the base under cold water for a few seconds to stop the extraction right at the good part.

6

Give the coffee in the upper chamber a gentle stir before pouring. It evens out the concentration nicely.

7

Your coffee is ready! Pour straight into your mug and drink it while it's fresh.
