I'm very sorry for the loud music on the background. Bear with me please, I'm trying to get better with the time.
Thanks for understanding. Have a great day!
6 titles and Bab dubby zab dubby dabada🎶🎵😋 (just kidding!!) Great vid
Ok, but why I read it with your voice?
Your accent is so charming and the content so interesting I hardly notice it. And normally I HATE background 'music's.
Please show us how to make cappuccino with a French press and a cheap 6-cup moka pot. I don't know why people have this snobbishness to use only a Bialetti (which costs almost 3 times my Pedrini). Also, when to sweeten and add sugar?
@@anilphilip546I have another video here on my channel where I explain it. I did it with a 3 cups but you just need to adjust ratios for 6 cups. Add sugar always in the cup, don’t place sugar in the pot.
I dated a Pugliese woman for 5 years, she taught me how to make her coffee..... Its been a few years since we split up, but Ive come to start drinking coffee & Im glad she taught me how to make a good coffee. Now that Im the one drinking it though, Im trying to get my brewing up to max level. =)
You must miss also the food I believe XD. It's good to know the basics and how to start then as you saying is also good to find your own way.
The Aeropress filter is a great tip! Thank you, Matteo!! Another tip for new moka pot users with an electric stove is to place the moka pot with the handle to the side of the burner. Centering the moka pot over an electric burner will heat up or melt the handle.
Yes, I often use the Aeropress. it's great! A video about that is coming hopefully next week!
@@matteofromtheswamps Aeropress FILTER, like you suggested in this and earlier videos. Gets rid of all the grit in the cup.
@@krazmokramer correct! not only that. More insight in the video I was telling you about before.
Use the Aeroperess funnel to hold the moka basket while you fill it.
Wet the Aeropress filter before you put in the moka. This helps it to stay where you put it. Using the filter simply makes a better cup - witness 🖐🏻
If you have an Aeropress, yes, that is helpful, otherwise you can use the upper part of the moka to keep the funnel straight. Wet the AP filter, yes. great tip! Glad you find it game changing too.
you are great my brothers
and You really love coffee like I do.
You are one of the few people who talked about Moka pot professionally
I like your technique is not overcomplicating things, I just want a simple yet good coffee recipe, and I feel like the mokka pot is one of the best ways to get there 😊
Thanks. Yeah simple works always good. I like to complicate my life too with some experimentation, but simple is always efficient.
Thank you !!!! you're the only one who helped me to make great coffee from moka Pot.
my greetings to you from egypt
Thank you so much for the comment. This makes me very happy! :)
thank you !!!! you have helped me enjoy my coffee sooooooo much more 🙂
Thanks so much for your nice words. I really appreciate it.
Matteo, try using the heat diffuser. The brewing time takes a bit longer, but you avoid scorched coffee and the resulting bitter taste. I clean my pots out with canola oil, to remove any build up of coffee oil and grounds. My pots still look like new.
Yes, I agree heat diffuser helps if the gar stove is too strong. I never used canola oil. I'll try to follow your technique and see the difference. Thanks for sharing.
@@matteofromtheswamps When I first opened the boxes of both my Moka and Brikka pots, they smelt like the inside of a Ferrari workshop. So got rid of the machine oil by using the canola oil with a paper towel and wiped the pots out. Canola is cheap and has no taste. I then went through the Bialetti procedure of seasoning the pots before use.
#1/2 Make sure you properly tighten the pot together. Nothing ruins a coffee more than seeing that glorious steam escape from the side 😂
Yah this is important too when the mokapot not tighten it makes ur coffe blow up😅
well yeah, that is important 😂. Sometimes can happen that you need to change the gasket.
Спасибо за позитивчик!

Always use fresh grounds :D
Fresh ground always the best!
Bellisemo❤ Very Well explained.
Great Presentation
Very good tips...as your ciabatta, Lasagne, Pizza...The Italian Way!..😎
hahahah, Thanks. Now you made me hungry
hey Matteo! thanks a lot for the tips. i've been enjoying your videos a lot, they're very helpful since i just bought a moka pot last week. could you tell how much coffee output should i aim for? i have a 4 cup bialetti, i use 20 grams of coffee and 200 grams of water, but after the brewing is done i only get around 50 grams of coffee. i dont think that should be 4 cups, as its only enough for me to make a single americano, could you please advise? thanks a lot for the videos again
Hello! Thanks so much for your comment and the nice words. you should get around 150g coffee. Something is not right, can you tell me the coffee you use, if it's pre ground or you grind at home, also the method you use. Let's fix this problem.
@@matteofromtheswamps thanks for the response Matteo, i ground my coffee at home myself using a hario skerton grinder. when i wrote this comment i was afraid of the spitting phase and tried to avoid it taking my moka pot very early from the stove, and using very low heat. i have been trying to increase the time on stove, and increasing the heat, it worked up to 100grams. i'm rather new to the hobby, so i think there might be problems with the grind too. i cant tell if its too fine or too coarse. increasing the time on stove and the heat worked a little, but i checked everywhere on the internet, no one says how much grams of brewed coffee i should get from a 4cup moka pot. thanks a lot for the information! i will check your videos again and try to hit the 150 grams of coffee. i want to ask, when you brew do you have any remaining water in your base or should it be completely empty? thanks again for the response and help
@@mustafa6135 usually with the moka people get all the coffee until it starts to gurgle. I usually I stopped before to avoid over extraction (depending on the coffee). I see you getting better, try to adjust the grind size, maybe go a little coarser and see what happens. Having water remaining in the bottom is normal because not all the water is allowed to pass through the basket, that water helps to keep controlled the temperature of the moka.
Had the same issue with the Hario Skerton where the coffee sputters without even reaching half the extraction before sputtering aggressively. Tried changing grind sizes between 2-4 clicks but issue persisted to no avail. Realized the moka pot was just not tightened enough.
I may suggest to tighten the moka as tight as you can do (l literally use all my body weight during tightening lol) and see if it only sputters right before reaching full. This will probably wear out the rubber gasket faster than usual, but gaskets are easily replaceable than drinking less the amount of coffee you can actually get from a moka pot.
The idea of weighing the coffee and water takes the fun out of a simple process. Just fill the water to just below the valve, fill the basket with coffee and viola! That’s it.
Great tips as usual!
You know that ❤ . Enjoy South Korea.
Stirring coffee truly worked wonders in my case, thank you~ But may I ask, do I need to tamp the sides of the basket even after using WDT tool or WDT alone is enough? Also, can I put less water that is even lower than the usual 'below the valve' to get a more concentrated extraction? I do get slightly acidic coffee despite setting my grinder at finest setting? (7 clicks Timemore C2)
when I use WDT tool, I just give a knock on the table to settle the grounds and that's it. Now if you use less water you actually get more acidity, because you don't give enough water to extract sweetness. Just be careful with fine settings, because with moka can channel. you can reduce the dose if you put too much coffee. Usually it works for me.
Coming back here to share the results. I noticed great improvements in the taste after filling the water 'just right below the valve'. Thank you for the advice and these tips works wonders~
@@akirahabane4904 glad to hear that it worked :) thanks for sharing
What was the main improvement with stirring with a WDT tool? My current problem is that I very seldom get that thick black first drops of coffee from the chimney, it's not watery but not very dark either, and the darkness doesn't decrease that much during the brewing. When I sometimes see that black thick first drops, then the last part of the coffee are almost only water and I really see that it has extracted all the goodies and there's nothing left.
Is this problem fixed with the WDT tool? Does it sound like channelling?
Couple of questions : do you recommend heating the water at all before filling the chamber & if so how much; and should you brew with the lid open or shut? I tried it with the lid open but a lot of splatter ended up happening
Another way of getting consistency is to grind your own beans!
I totally agree with you.
I have a spare shower head from my picopresso, and it fits my 3 cups Dama. I'll replace the original shower head with Pico one and see what results I'll get. I assume that Pico's head will filter out smaller particles, since the holes are much smaller. it's kind of taller, though, and sticks out a bit.
That is curious thing to try. Let me know how that goes.
@@matteofromtheswamps well, it worked out just fine. I've used 20g of medium roasted Brazil+Guatemala coffee, 120g of pre boiled water (to increase extraction) and used meduim to low heat during brewing. The coffee is cleaner and tastes fine, feels close to filter coffee, but just a bit more bitter with less acidity. I will try to use a dark roasted coffee and grind a bit more finer.
Controversial question: I always see people saying "don't use soap" (even the official Bialetti instructions) when cleaning. But water alone isn't going to wash out leftover oils (that could go rancid) and I really don't see how mild dish soap could "damage" the aluminum. What's your suggestion, Matteo?
My suggestion is that soon I'll release a controversial video about moka pot cleaning where I suggest soap XD. (You got the spoiler)
So I say go for it. I do it too
There is a study showing that when you wash an aluminium moka pot the next several brews contain elevated levels of aluminium, which is really bad for your health. Get a full steel Venus would be my suggestion.
@@NietzscheanMan thanks for this information. Would you mind sharing with me the publication? I’m very curious to read it. Thanks 🙂
@@matteofromtheswamps study is called "Migration of aluminum from food contact materials to food-a health risk for consumers? Part II of III: migration of aluminum from drinking bottles and moka pots made of aluminum to beverages", it's freely available online via the National Center for Biotechnology.
Hola amigo muy buen video e instructivo por favor de donde podría conseguir esos filtros de papel gracias.
To help get rid of sediments in my coffee, would going a coarser grind help? Grinder I use only has coarse, med, and fine setting and used fine for the first run
The reality is that even when you grind coarser, the grinder produce fine particles, of course they are less compare when you grind finer , but you still have them. The problem then is the quality of extraction. If you grind coarser then you risk to achieve a weak acidic coffee.
is it ok to use a 6 cups moka pot size and just make 2 cups or even 1 cup?
You can, but it's not ideal. Also very hard to achieve consistency.
@@matteofromtheswamps I see .. Thank you for answering 💖
How does moka coffee taste compared to an AeroPress or French press? I like the thin body and clean taste of pour overs but the moka pot looks interesting. Is cleanup harder? Does the AeroPress filter help with cleanup and reduce the silt in the cup? Thanks!
Coffee from Moka is meant to be a bit stronger, something that sits in between espresso and pour over. The AP filter definitely clean the cup. With moka pot coffer water ratio you get a strong coffee but if you prefer something similar to pour over you can then bypass the coffee with some hot fresh water.
I cut my own filters from coffee paper filters. It works just as fine as aeropress filters but it's cheaper
You know the trick :)
What is the usual coffee to water ratio for moka pot?
Hi. That really depends on Moka pots and also depending on the kind of coffee you brewing. You can find other videos on my channel where I mention it, but usually I would say in between 1:7.5 to 1:9
hey Matteo. How do you increase/decrease the brewing temperature? I like my coffee how it is right now but im also thinking about playing a little more with the temperature using my thermometer. What should i do if i see that coffee comes out at like 45-50 degrees? and vice verca. Pack more coffee? Increase the heat?
Temperature of water in the boiler is a variable you can change. with coarser grind size you get faster brewing, but than you risk under extraction. It really depends what are you looking for.
@@matteofromtheswamps Mr Matteo, are in your opinion 58° too fast? Or is it ok? For a medium/medium-dark roast
can I brew 1 cup of coffee using a 3 or 2 cup moka pot? I want to decide which moka pot I wanna buy
I always suggest to have a full basket of coffee for a proper and efficient brew. with a 2 cups you will definitely be closer to one cup. S you can place less coffee
@@matteofromtheswamps Thank you so much for the suggestion.
Ciao Matteo, sono nuovo del canale e neofita del caffè un po’ più ragionato. Ho una Bialetti Venus sei tazze, che uso su induzione. Le ho provate tutte, ma nella caldaia mi avanza sempre un po’ d’acqua. Da cosa potrebbe dipendere? L’unica spiegazione che sono riuscito a darmi è che l’imbuto non pesca sufficientemente sul fondo. Possibile che di serie venga fornito un imbuto della misura sbagliata? O c’è qualche accorgimento nel processo che salto o sbaglio? Grazie
Never mind, ho trovato il video in cui lo spieghi. Grazie.
Che rimanga un po’ di acqua è normale. Ho anche fatto un video a riguardo. È normale che l’invito non peschi tutta l’acqua nella caldaia
@@matteofromtheswamps si me ne sono accorto poco prima che mi rispondessi. grazie mille della disponibilità.
which grinder do you use? If this matter?
I use a Comandante hand grinder. Grinder is really important in coffee. You can have the best tools, but if the grinder is not good, it's hard to achieve a good balanced coffee.
I have a bialetti induction and my coffe always burnt. What can you suggest? I use hot water, but moka start sputtering from the begining and coffe came out wery slow. On electric moka i dont have such problems.
My first suggestion is to do not use hot water. When you use hot water, close to boiling point, then on the moka it will boil, and we don't want that. Second try to put the power or the stove lower in case you put in on high power, so the water will raise less aggressively and automatically you should avoid the burnt taste.
Hola. Si se desea preparar en una moka con capacidad para 6 tazas, para ajustarla a la medida de una de tres tazas, cuál es el ratio a utilizar.
Hola! Hice un video para la olla moka de 6 tazas. aquí te explico la diferencia entre 3 y 6 tazas. tal vez pueda serte útil. Gracias th-cam.com/video/9TwyYWFZoK8/w-d-xo.html
My very first experience of moka pot - "Coffee is pumping out from chimney and burnt my hands😢 "
oh no! That is a horrible first experience.
So do you wash the pot or not?😂
no worries, I got you covered :) th-cam.com/video/XZzPEdfkP08/w-d-xo.html
Using a paper filter is a complete waste of time…and paper filters. There is no benefit in flavor or finished product. I've been making Moka Pot espresso for years and coffee grounds in my espresso has certainly not been a problem. However, using a paper filter may restrict flow and potentially cause your Moka Pot to over-extract. A Moka Pot works similarly to a traditional espresso machine using pressure, but at a lower PSI. As such, NO barrista would ever consider putting a paper filter in their espresso machine - ever. Absolutely no reason to do so in a Moka Pot either.
"Distributing" the coffee with a wire thingy is pointless. Just fill the basket with coffee level with the top, DON'T tamp it down. It'll be perfect.
Weighing coffee (or water) for a Moka Pot is completely pointless. The water to coffee ratio is preset and perfect as is. Simply fill with water just below the safety valve and fill the basket with coffee level with the top, DON'T tamp it down. It'll be perfect.
Finally… Tap water is fine - if it's good enough to drink, it's perfect to make coffee. If not, then consider using filtered or bottled water.
Coffee is meant to be enjoyed, not complicated.
Hope these tips were helpful. 👋
When you say coffee grounds aren't a problem, do you mean you don't get them at all, or that they are there, but you just don't mind them?
@@romaion4024 I never have coffee grounds from any of the five or six Moka Pots I use regularly.
I don't think "distributing" is pointless. I've had channeling from clumps in the coffee.
@@tonykwelch1 I've been making Moka Pot espresso for over 10 years and never once had even the slightest hint of channeling. Maybe try stirring your coffee grounds before you put them into the Moka Pot's coffee basket.
Sorry buddy but I can't watch more of your videos, the music is far too loud for my taste, I can barely hear your voice.
I'm so sorry, thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. In my next video I'll keep this in mind. Thanks again.
I'm just watching it now and came here to say the same thing.
The video is unwatchable with the background music taking over more louder than the spoken commentary.
I had to turn on the closed captioning to try to understand what was being said.
What dosing ring you use that fits the Bialetti 3 cup moka?
Great tips, but khhrriiist onabbike, that annoying music was far too loud! Did you not watch this before posting..!? Also - stop wasting water, dude! Don't run your tap into an unplugged sink to wash stuff, use a receptacle with some eco suds or whatevs. No environment = no coffee.
I like your coffee advices, grazie mille.
