How to make a perfect italian coffee
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
Fill the boiler up to the lower level of the safety valve, without exceeding it and using fresh water, possibly low in limestone. |
Select a quality blend, suitable for the production of coffee for the Moka. Fill the filter generously, without pressing the coffee powder, forming a small gutter and avoiding dust escaping on the edges of the boiler. Close the coffee pot, screwing the collector firmly onto the boiler and place it on the stove. |
The flame must never envelop the coffee maker, but remain inside the bottom of the same, in order to allow extraction in adequate times and not too quickly. As soon as you start to hear the typical Moka gurgle, the coffee is ready and you will need to turn off the fire immediately. |
Never let excess coffee boil: this would burn it, compromising its success and making it too bitter. Enjoy hot coffee, as soon as it is ready, remembering to mix the contents of the collector: the coffee extracted at the end, in fact, is less full-bodied than that leaked at the beginning of boiling. |

Can't even go to SBs without getting a triple shot in it for power/potency. I DO advise buying replacement O-Rings through Amazon. I got my original to last a year of daily use, but it probably should have been changed out a little earlier. Also, coffee quality really matters. I DO NOT advise using folgers etc. I love Cafe Bustelo in it, and just started buying Esresso Beans from Costco/Kirkland with very good results. DO NOT use with any Chicory products. Try to make sure you are getting Arabica beans as opposed to lower quality.

ORIGINAL POST
Women - shiny, it is pretty and an excellent conversation piece to leave out, no glass shards in the kiddos feet
Men - functional, strong, heavy, can be used on a camp fire when zombies come
Look. I am not gonna talk to you as if this Moka is going to last 1 month or 20 years. With that being said, know that it is a simple design, and unlike a glass coffee maker, is unlikely to break. If you want something elegant and simple, and would rather have super mega strong coffee than weak stuff, go with this. Ask yourself honestly how many times you have bought another 12 cup coffee maker and keep going back for more. Take a chance on something new, exciting, etc. You can always throw this away as I have done to many a coffee maker after it killed itself.
Second, it does not make espresso or coffee, it makes moka. What this means is you will not get 12 (or 9) real coffee cup sizes (where a cup is 6-8 ounces each). And it does not "technically make espresso because (snivelingly said) it does not use super high pressure to make. However, it does make 2-ounce per "cup" of the most turbo stuff out there. I got me the 9-cup (about 18 ounces or so) and mix with splenda and half-n-half. No need to ever go to starbucks again. If I ever do have company, I would use more than 1 at a time. Think quality rather than quantity. I do not care what drip maker you have ever had, this stuff is STRONG!
Lastly, look at this as an investment. People have had these things for decades. I have no idea how long mine will last, but it is heavy enough to kill a zombie or two, and so it passes the weight test. It is simple, with no moving parts, and so passes the less is more test. I spend a little more getting quality coffee (Bustelo) and run it through this quality making device, and so it passes the "I will never pay 2 dollars for a cup of coffee" test. I can officially never go to starbucks again. They cannot make my coffee the way I like it.
PS - if you want to know, this thing is awesome on a regular, flattop, or gas stove. If you have an induction stove (where you need special magnetic pots), then you cannot use the aluminum versions.
PPS - I am not a chemist, and have no desire to get into the aluminum will make your testicles drop argument. I follow the directions and never use soap. I bought a dish brush that I use for this puppy only, water only. I am seasoning this puppy with coffee oil (i.e. over time, without soap, coffee will leave a protective barrier).
I also read a review that they were a little frustrated that you have to wait for it to cool to clean. Im a neat freak so at first I thought I would share that frustration but it turns out that I like it. With kids and work, as most people, I am always in a HUGE hurry in the morning so since I CANT clean it, its actually good that I can just leave it and clean with the dinner dishes or something. Otherwise I know myself, I would have to clean it before I left and then it would just take more time in the morning that I really don't have. So that is worked in my favor.
I had read reviews that the 6 cup is enough for only 1 person. For health reasons (kidney cleanse) my husband has been into tea lately so I just thought I would try it out for myself. My husband tasted and ended up wanting some as well so I would split the 6 cup pot with him. Reason I explain that is if you like a decent amount of milk in yours, then the 6 cup would work for 2 people. Or, if you just want small size portions. Ours always comes out very strong so I think its definitely possible to have the 6 cup for two people. However, I drink allot of coffee so we ended up returning the 6 cup and getting the 9. Works out perfectly, I usually get at least a half cup refill if its two of us or two full cups if its just me. I usually have the chill the second cup for an iced coffee later. We do have a Nespresso machine that we Love and is the only espresso pod brand I have ever tasted and felt like it was real espresso and not water "tea" coffee lol. So we use that if we are in a rush and the Bialetti if we have a little more time. Perfect for us! Long review but I hope it helps out!
