What is Moka Pot brewing? |
A moka pot is a stove top coffee maker that brews coffee by the water passing upwards through the coffee beans. It does not have to pass through any filter so it helps get a full and pure extraction of your coffee. |
WHY MOKA POT? |
|
WHAT YOU WILL NEED |
Electric Kettle • 10 gr finely ground beans • Scale |
TIPSThere are different sizes of moka pots so be sure to adjust |
STEPS |
STEP 1 Unscrew the bottom and pour in hot water up until the bottom of the valve. Do not use cold water otherwise the coffee beans will burn as you are brewing. |
STEP 2 Place the filter basket on top of the bottom chamber. Carefully place 10g of finely ground beans into the filter basket with a spoon. |
STEP 3 Gently level off the coffee beans with your finger or a knife. Do not push the coffee down otherwise the water will not be able to filter through the moka pot. |
STEP 4 Screw on the top of the moka pot. Be careful as the bottom chamber is full of hot water! Use a towel or a glove to hold it in place. |
STEP 5 Place over a gas stove, over medium heat, just enough so that the flame covers the bottom. Do not use too high a flame otherwise it will burn the coffee and extract too quickly. |
STEP 6 When the water in the bottom chamber begins to boil, the pressure will push the coffee upwards, into the top chamber. Open the lid to check it out! |
STEP 7 Once all the coffee has passed through to the top chamber, it is ready. This should take around 2 to 2 and a half minutes. Pour into a cup and enjoy your espresso like coffee! |
STEP 8 Enjoy! Moka pot is great for anyone that loves espresso. You can add foamed milk to make a latte or more water to make an americano. There are so many options! |
