How to brew coffee in a moka pot?
1. Fill the bottom chamber with water at room temperature (up to the pot’s safety valve).
2. Choose your favourite ground coffee (recommended grind level: ground specially for a moka pot and never too fine!). Generously fill the filter of the pot with coffee, but make sure not to press it.
3. Place the moka pot on the stove (the handle should be kept further away from the heat source). Set heat to low – waiting for a few more minutes is definitely worth the resulting flavour. Once the upper chamber is filled with coffee, turn off the heat.
4. Now, on to the most important stage – tasting! Your coffee will be even more delicious if you drink it right away.
