How to Brew Coffee with a Moka Pot

A moka pot makes concentrated stovetop coffee in about five minutes. Medium-fine grind, medium-low heat, and a full basket.

Steps

  1. Fill the bottom to the valve with hot water.
  2. Grind medium-fine. Fill the basket loosely. Do not tamp.
  3. Assemble. Medium-low heat, lid open.
  4. Pull off at the gurgle. Cool the base under water. Pour now.

Bitter = too hot or too fine. Weak = too coarse or a half-empty basket.
