How to Use:
-
Add Water:
Fill the lower chamber with cold water just below the valve. -
Add Coffee:
Insert the funnel and fill it with ground espresso (don’t tamp). Remove any excess coffee grounds from the edge of the funnel. Screw the upper part of the pot tightly onto the base. -
Add Heat:
Place the pot on a burner with a flame size that fits the bottom of the pot. For gas stovetops, ensure the flame is not larger than the bottom. Heat until the water boils and coffee begins to emerge. You will hear a gurgling sound during the process. -
Enjoy:
Once the top of the pot is full of coffee, remove it from the stove. Stir the coffee in the upper chamber with a small spoon to blend the different layers and enhance flavor.
Tips for Perfect Espresso:
- Grind Size: Use a slightly coarser grind for Moka pots compared to espresso machines.
- Adjust Heat: If the coffee tastes burnt, reduce the heat and try again.
- Water Quality: Always use filtered water for the best flavor.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Wash by Hand: Use warm water and avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Dry Thoroughly: Dry with a towel and ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling.
- Avoid Dishwasher: Do not clean in the dishwasher.
