• How To Make Great Coff...
Bialetti has been around since 1933 offering high quality and durable products. In this video I have used the Bialetti Moka Express for one cup.
In five easy steps detailed in my video you can make a nice cup of coffee that resembles an Italian espresso. Pour the coffee in a large cup and add hot water to fix yourself an American size coffee.
The Moka Express should be cleaned thoroughly with lots of hot water, but no soap. In addition to the grounded coffee, you can also use fresh beans and grind these yourself.

Two things ..... first you better not put that much coffeepowder into the funnel (do not press the coffee and do not build a peak)...... second, when coffee is coming up and out of the slim leak lock, remove the pot immediately from heat and let about three quarters come up, the remaining boiling water stays in watertank (very often less is more, especially concerning the amount of coffee and the time of brewing) ...... Taking this into consideration will make the coffee tastier and less aggressive .... enjoy ;-)
I sincerely suggest you CLEAN the whole assembly immediately.
As long as he rinses it with warm water and wipes it dry, it's good. Maybe once a month clean it with boiling water and a soft scrubby. No soap. The aluminum pots get stained, it doesn't mean they're dirty.
From gentleman to gentleman:
Clean your Moka
Pre-heat water so the coffe doesn't heat up
Get a grinder and freshly roasted coffee.
Thank me later.
Saludos
Personally I don't believe in pre heating the water. It causes less pressure build in the base and messes with the extraction.
As from my experience, I tried many thing to clean it including what u suggested ,but no use
@@bisaillion
respectfully, I wonder if that's true? that is to say, does the science prove that X amount of pressure required, then the coffee is pushed out (extracted). any less than X amount of pressure, the water remains in the reservoir. too much pressure, the safety valve blows. it's an interesting point you raise.
DeGoyen , yes. I tried both and 3 guests ruled in favour of pre-heated water.
@@bisaillion I find it much better to use cold water as per the instructions as well. It just works much better for me that way.
I have the same device and the coffee tastes excellent. The Italians knew what they were doing.
I totally agree! Cheers!
I'm sorry, I know everyone has it's own way ,but...
you made about every possible mistake that makes the coffee too bitter.
1. you should use hot/warm water.
2. you should clean the moka pot properly.
3. you should'nt press the coffee in the filter.
4. you should take it from the stove right after it starts to make bubbles.
if it works for you , enjoy.
but if someone suffer from bitter coffee ,try ...
have a wonderful day.
Thanks for your reply. Will try that out!
5. Use coarser coffee grinded right before use.
Yogev Nachman my thoughts exactly🤣
MARKIE D start with medium to high heat and then when it starts boiling go to medium-low heat immediately when it finishes take it off the stove.
If you want to stop the process immediately you can put it under running cold water in the button of the Moka pot so you won't have the taste of diluted coffee that comes last.
MARKIE D High heat. The shorter extraction, the better.
I bought the bialetti 3 cup 2 months back, it is literally one of the best purchases of mine. ❤
Glad you love it!
I have seen some videos on this, and most recommend to quickly take the pot off the stove once you start seeing bubbles, and even run it under cold water to stop the brewing process. Cooking for longer can supposedly create more bitter flavors. Im guessing the excess heat in the steam can extract the tannins in the coffee more quickly, and create this bitter flavor...
People also recommend heating the water before adding it to the mocca pot, as this will limit the heat that is transferred to the coffee grounds. Electrical griders have relatively fast moving burrs, which will also create heat, and which is one reason some people prefer manual grinders.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom! Wil try to boil the water first before putting it on the stove (gas these days). Enjoy your coffee :)
@@GadgetsforGentlemen I got it today, and if nothing else, heating the water in a regular pot speeds up the brewing process considerably. At least my hotplates are all way bigger than the moka pot, while the regular pots are perfect size for absorbing all the heat from the hotplate.
I also use hot tap water to heat up the bottom part of the moka pot before i fill it with the boiling water.
Thanks for the feedback! I will pre-heat it with my water cooker 😉
Yes I always pre-heat the water first and this speeds it up quite a lot.
I don't think taking it off the stove early is a big concern though as once the water tank is empty there is no more steam to push through the coffee so although the grind will start to burn this shouldn't impact your brew (upper chamber).
No, those videos are wrong.
Taking it off the heat as soon as it gurgles is good, but the rest is wrong.
Watch Annalisa J moka pot video. She's Italian and does it correctly.
Moka pots are great, have had one for years and even take it on camping trips. Nothing like a cup of super dark rich coffee when camping! They're not really an espresso machine, but they work great anyway and are cheap.
In my homeland that coffee maker is very common and it is excellent.
Exactly how I make my coffee, same coffee tin.
I use tap water fill the over the valve, just under the rim, but I use a little camping gas stove which sometimes flames 🔥 up at the valve, can’t leave it unattended might burn the kitchen down.
I use the same small cup or sometimes a mug for lot’s of cream.
It’s the best coffee, better than some of the drain water you buy at coffee shops.
Thanks for sharing your method it’s all good, enjoy your coffee.
Shalom.
Thank you sir. Be careful with that stove 🙏🏻
Other than looking in the pot, how do you know when it is done? Also if the pot is aluminum, is that dangerous? I have a stainless steel one but I don't think I'm using it correctly. My Gramma had one that she turned upside down after the water boiled and it made great espresso. I have never been able to find one like it. Do they sell that type anymore?
🇮🇹 The old Neapolitan coffee maker! (caffettiera napoletana).
Beautiful espresso wares! I love espresso but never knew how to make it until now. Thank you!
Thank you 😁
fyi, it's technically not espresso. espresso by definition needs a minimum of 15 bars ( barometric pressure) to qualify. moka pots make about 3. it's good coffee, don't get me wrong. but don't use espresso ground coffee. it's too finely ground. if people think they have a stovetop espresso maker, their going to buy the wrong coffee and get frustrated with the results.
Hi Joseph, thanks for your comment. What (Italian) coffee do you advise to be used with the Moka Express? Greetings from The Netherlands
@@GadgetsforGentlemen 🇮🇹 The best-selling in Italy is the "Lavazza qualità rossa": quite good (my coffee every day, however, an untouchable ritual!).
I saw that you use "Illy" coffee: a very good choice.
And every now and then I pamper myself with something special.
☕️❤️
thank you so much.that was realy enjoyable.GOOD LUCK.
Nice first-time video, thank you very much good presentation. I have the same Bialetti stovetop. Its rubber rings are good value if bought set of 3 from amazon and includes a stainless steel filter. Be sure to change the rings every so often.
Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you for your video! My son lives in Italy and gifted me with one of these, though not a Bialetti, from Italy.😜 Lol! And a set of espresso cups. I've had it for about a year and a half but use it once in a while, so I needed reminders of fill lines and temperature.😊 He also gave me packages of LavAzza on his last visit, which is excellent!👌 When I went to Italy in May I saw that these are used regularly in homes. As a site note, the wine is fantastic as well!😄 I ❤ Italy!
Lovely story. Hope your son also brings the famous cookies that come with the espresso 😁
Keep the Bialetti machine clean ,change the rubber seal when is worn out and will last forever.
I agree. Beautiful device. How long have you been using yours?
I own several old one still in good use.
I make my coffee with a Rancilio Silvia but
my wife use it for the tiramisù .
Mike Ricci jmmmnmjk
Some ppl with OCD think you need to bleach the silly thing after each use...
PlayaSinNombre Please, no bleach!
Ordered mine today
Sir, I enjoyed watching your video.
Thank you for sharing this.
My big brother got me one for Christmas! What an excellent cup this pot produces !
Thank you for sharing! Just got a Bialetti today :)
Have fun with it 😁 I still use mine several times a week ☕️
this helped so much thx
Hi and thanks a lot for this clear tutorial! It’s helping me a great deal! 😎🌸
Thanks for your support! 😁
that white italian coffee cup how many onces is it please.. and your pot.... thank you
Hi Dave, thanks for your comment. The white Lavazza cup holds about 40 ml of coffee, which is about 1.4 fl ounces.
The small Bialetti pot (the 1-cup ) holds to a maximum of 2.0 fl oz = 60ml
The bigger Bialetti pot (the 3-cup) holds to a maximum of 6.5 fl oz = 200 ml
Please share your experiences with this device.
thanks for the quick reply, i own the 3cup myself and want to have two cups to drink and not all at one time... i took my pot camping and staged a picture with it and a crepe i made with a jar of nutella behind it.. thought it was as i'm into cooking as the wife won't do what i want in the name of differant foods to try/
That sounds like quality camping! I use the one cup version myself even when I want to drink two cups. Since it literally takes a few minutes to prepare another cup. Alternatively, what you could do, as I saw it in Rome, is pour the three cups into two slightly bigger espresso cups and wrap a small piece of aluminium foil around the second cup to keep the coffee hot. Drink the first cup and when you are done remove the foil of the second cup and enjoy it. It should still be very hot.
Great channel perfect for me! Coffee and watches
Thank you Christian. I value your support!
To make a coffee you need: water, coffee, a cup, a stove and a spoon. Holy shit that's where I was going wrong! I had petrol, dried dirt, a plate, fan heater and a fork. Thanks man.
What, no meat?
Kid Coffee I bet money you voted for Hillary too.
U r All fucked up...
@@Smiling_mike Jesus. Relevant??
I had coffee from a maker like that once, always wanted to get one and try it. You did fall short of the mark right in the beginning. You say worlds best coffee but then use pre ground. You are already starting off with less then great coffee just using pre ground. Nice video, thanks for sharing.
Nice video, thank you!
Thank you!
Looks good 💚💛❤️👏👏
Is this actually espresso, as in a suitable component for cappuccino....or is that only from a high pressure machine?
Espresso only comes from a higher level of pressure (bar). This coffee resembles espresso but it’s not the same. I however use it to make cappuccino.
Muy Bien amigo, I have my nice expresso time after dinner. Thank you very much.
Gracias Jose! Disfruta tu cafe ☕️
Bought a Bialetti Mocha 15 years ago but used another brand instead, but after watching your vid I dusted it off and made a good triple cup of cafe' americano...
😁
Great jop man thanks a lot
Which size of Moka do you suggest for 1 Person? 1 Cup Moka or 2 Cup Moka?
That depends a bit on your taste - how much coffee you drink in one go.
I use the 1 cup Moka Express myself which allows me to pour 1 cup of espresso a time.
If you use a 2 cup Moka then you will be able to serve yourself a double espresso. Which is much stronger than a single cup of espresso.
When I have friends over I use a 3 cup Moka. That way I can share a single espresso and 1 double espresso.
It all depends what your preferences are. Either way I think you cannot go wrong on this one.
Hey guys,I just bought and tried this coffee pot,everything is great,the only concern that I have is that I see some aluminum/metal particles in coffee.
Do you have the same or it is just my unit?
🇮🇹 Don't worry, it's not aluminum but coffee powder that rises during extraction. The particles that seem to glisten are fragments of the coffee kernel ("cariosside"), which can take on a glassy appearance when roasted.
A good coffee, however, must contain few…
Hi, Why is it better to use cold water not warm/hot water? Thanks
Josh Hi Josh, this is what the owner of a specialist coffee place told me and ever since I kept following that routine.... not sure if there is really that much of a difference to be honest...
Where to set the temperature at? I just got mine. I set it on Med and it shot out beyond the edge and missed the upper chamber. Lol this is part of the fun is getting it dialed in. I'll try low 2 or 3 and start from there.
Thank you
Thanks for your comment. Good luck finding the perfect way ☕️
Use low on a gas range, and medium-low on an electric range.
this is our coffee in morocco, we use the same pot, and in often we add some of milk to the coffee

Hi everyone, and Gadgets...I just bought one of these (3 cups) so it's brand new, and I wanted to know, what was your process to season your new one, as far as making the first few cups to throw away? Someone on a blog said to leave the coffee in the pot all day. Or is it better to make 2 or 3 in a row and toss them into the sink as soon as they have boiled on the stove. Also, I was concerned about the aluminum but decided to give it a try anyway since the science on health effects seems inconclusive. Just thought I'd put that out there.
Hello there Kit M , thanks for your question. I prepared a few cups of coffee and threw those out. Cleansed it properly with lots of hot water (no soap) and then starting using it. Not sure if that is the proper way but that is what the seller from the coffee store where I purchased it told me. Good luck. I am sure they are experts here reading that can fill you in.
I do believe he pretty much did everything wrong :D
Yes, he did!!!!!! But what to expect from someone with this level of cleanliness??? 😝😝😝
you can absolutely do it this way it is all down to personal preference and taste which varies widely from person to person
Its an italian coffee, not greek lol
What I really like is his attitude. The guy just enjoys his life and this is the type of person I would like to have a morning coffee with, not with a one who gets a great cup of coffee and saying like "nah, it could be better, you know you should grind a bit better and temperature is not there" etc
Is this about me? If so, much thanks 🙌🏻
What is the weight of the 1 cup? Thanks!
Nice video! 🎉
這種摩卡壺是几人份的？
cheers!!! I'm getting me one of these!!
Hey,
I want to get myself a moka Pot, but i cant decide what size I shoulders get. I mostly will Brew for myself, but sometimes for my family and me. So i wonder if i can get a 3 Cup moka pot and just do one Cup from it when needed?
Nice Video 🤝
Hi, thank you. I have a size 1 cup and size 3 cups. This works perfect for me. Perhaps a larger one for a larger family.
No, you have to use it for the designated size, like always fill it up to make 3 cups for the 3 cup size, 2 cups for the 2 cup size, 1 cup for the 1 cup size.
i love coffee!
Same here 😇
I love hot espresso coffee and hot women
Does 1 cup Moka Pot make coffee as good as 3 cup one ?
Yes it’s the same just a different proportion.
Thanks
Thank you very much for this video.
I had two coffee pots I threw them away. I did not buy them, the previous tenants left them in a cabinet and I did not know what they were for
Thanks for your kind words!
hi
actually i need crema on first blow up of coffee. i bought this Bialleti moka pot but there is no crema.
the crema is made by air pressure... about 20 bar. Moka dosn't make enough pressure for make it. Buy a coffee machine like nespresso if you want it. you will never be able to get it with a normal moka.
yes you are right. i sometimes put a piece of paper on coffee and good crema came out of Moka.but i did not do it for bialleti, for a cheap moka pot it worked.
i have a delonghi machine but it is not well
thank you so much. i take a look on it. unfortunately i live in Iran and here i can not find good machines.
ok i buy a fresh one and let you know.
I have the same and I just tried it, but the Cafe Bustelo looked like mud...not drinkable. Why?
TSIKA Hi there, not sure what goes wrong on your end. What you could try is to put the pot on the stove for a shorter duration. When you hear the whistling sound take it of the stove. Also you can try to reduce the heat of your stove, you might be heating up the coffee pod too much. Thus, experiment with the duration and the (heat) intensity. Please get back to me if this was helpful...
Tsika I also use Bustelo, actually that's my go to for the moka pot. Trying adding more water or less coffee. I would also recommend medium/low heat. In the beginning i was experiencing the same problem as you. Good luck
Quiero cosinemos junto con el Mr Chamarro
TSIKA no
TSIKA You added too much coffee or too little water or you pressed the coffee too much.
Try boiling the water first then put in to the can. It really makes the biggest difference in keeping the bitter notes down to get more sweetness😃
And clean your pot.
And dont press the coffee.
Aaaand remove it as quickly as possible when it wissles. 😁
I guess it depends on the type of coffee you like, I on one hand enjoy a very bitter and bold tasting coffee, sometimes using a bit less water than "recomended" and changing my brewing times to achieve that taste
Bravo!
+rons2004 Grazi!
that tiny drop at the end kickstarted my OCD lol
GoldenAfrican HAHAHAHA me too girl!!!
Mine started with the state of that oven top.
Hello! What temperature do you recommend on the stove top? Low, medium, high? Or somewhere between?
Thanks!
Based on my good and bad experiences I would say try boiling or hot water to begin with, put it on medium to high fire till the coffee starts pouring, then lower the fire/heat till you hear the sissling sound and then take it of the stove. Best of luck and please report back in :)
Very nice video. However, agree with those below... there are refinements to this method that will produce an even better coffee for you to enjoy.
It looked like he used an espresso grind, he even says that it was very fine grind. The problem I’m having is that whenever I try using fine grind in my moka pot it just sputters and makes like a tbsp of really bitter coffee. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
That's strange. I used an espresso grind indeed.
1. Use filtered, not tap water. 2. First boil the water in the base so you don't burn your coffee grounds. 3. Use fresh-ground recently roasted coffee, and not store-bought stale crap. 3. When the water in the base is boiling, place the coffee carrier/filter with the fresh ground coffee on the base. 4. Screw the top on the base then with an oven mitt, tighten the base to the top. 5. Put the moka pot back on the heat. 6. Let the coffee flow out like lava...just before it shoots out, remove from heat. 7. Pour into a nice demitasse cup. 8. Clean your Moka Pot!!!! after every use with water and a brush.
When you're in The Netherlands, there is literally no need to use filtered water over tap water lol
1. Yes. It also will avoid oxidation. But then again it comes from not fully drying the Moka pot
2. doesn't mean. I use cold and no bitter
but when I put it
taste bitter why
Maybe decrease the heat earlier? Bitter sounds like it has boiled too long I think.
nice narration
can i use a hot water? will it tastes better or not?
Hi, thanks for watching. It’s best to try and see what works best for you. Some say use cold water, others say use pre-boiled water. I normally use cold water and put it on low heat 😁
Bialettisono le migliori sono un po' di giorni che il caffè non esce bene poi ho capito dove era l intoppo quanto sono nuove danno problemi lo bevo solo la mattina e mi stanco quanto devo metterla sotto il rubinetto le Bialetti costano tanto e quindi??...Tutto deve funzionare....
Me encanta la cafetera.
Americans: Oh my god it's the pot is discolored it's going to kill me.
Italians: *Use rusty ass old pot without thinking twice about it.*
😂
You are not supposed to use soap and scrub the pot clean... just rinse with water The natural coffee build up will make a better cup of coffee
@@daggettbeaver242 Aluminum does not rust, it corrodes.
how much water goes in compared to coffee out in cup?
This is how much water you need : one full espresso cup.
This is how much coffee this gets you : 0.5 to .75 espresso cup.
Hope this helps 😁
@@GadgetsforGentlemen so it's probably good that there is still water in bottom chamber instead of being dry from boiling too long?
I think you are right. The shorter and the lower the heat the better. A little bit of water and coffee residue shouldn’t matter that much. Let me know how it goes 😁
I got one of these for 6 bucks and take it camping. It weighs notning and is the best thing I've got in my whole kit.
Happy times camping!
1:18 Is that a tablespoon in your country?
Yes 😁
In Dutch we call it: theelepel.
😅Love It Great Job
Should really put boiling water in it, that way the pot spends less time on the stove and won't get so hot. Do it your way by using cold as, the pot will get very hot and burn the coffee before it's even brewed.
Thanks for your feedback! Will definitely try this out!
i don't think this is possible, because water takes the heat. Coffe will burn only if there is no water. The same way you can boil water in plastic cup on fire, water does not allow plastic cup to burn out
Using hot water is better as then the temperature varies less during the process. That's the main reason for pre-heating the water.
No, please no. Water must be at room temperature, the heat under the moka must be very low. In this kind of coffee brewing the water temperature that touches the coffee should not rise above 75-80 C°.
What happens in the machine: water starts heating, steam builds up and the pressure on the water itself rises, so the water gets pushed through the funnel. The heat should be turned off before it has finished pouring the coffee in the superior part of the machine
you can also clean it. Like once a week.
This guy doesn't respect coffee business. This video is the best proof.
I also have a kheramic stove
Great jop man thanks a lot 😍🙏💐
I tried both Illy and Lavazza and, like many reviews have said, both were not very good. Lavazza has too many Robusta coffee beans in it. Illy is just so-so. I won't bother getting either of them again. But of course your mileage may vary, as the saying has it. Perhaps in Italia the beans are better and this is the cheap export stuff I get here?
Thank you regards from ireland
Biggest fail is you used the aluminium version. Needs to be the stainless steel model for your type of cooker, so you are not getting enough heat and hence it takes 7 minutes!
That's a recipe for a dreadful coffee.
Please share with us how you make the best coffee using the Bialetti ☕️
Is this just for espresso?
I use it to make strong short coffees, somewhat like espressos. Not sure if it can be used for other coffees.
@@GadgetsforGentlemen Thanks. With espresso being the basis for most coffee's, I guess I could add more boiling water/milk?
Welcome! I used this device sometimes to make espresso as a base for a cappuccino/American size coffee. I would boil water/milk separately and mix it when the espresso is ready 😁
Can we use milk instead of water...???
I don’t know honestly. I hope someone can answer your question.
No. Please do not do that.
Nice introductory video. A shame you're using factory coffe (Illy/Lavazza). Try getting your beans from a specialty shop and grind them yourself. The difference will be amazing. If you want a truly amazing cup try Panamaria, Geisha or any Ethiopian coffee.
Hi Mischa, a very belated reply. Nonetheless. Thanks for your comment. What is “wrong” in your opinion with Illy/Lavazza?
I do have multiple different beans from Indonesia, Colombia and Tanzania. Not only the big brands. I do grind them myself with an electrical grinder and put them on the stove with the Moka Express.
I have had freshly made, freshly roasted Sudanese and Ethiopian coffee a couple of times on my travels in Oman (beautiful country).
Best regards.
Hi Cod Zilla, I would like to try that out one day. I guess the fresher the better! Also you can control the process (the way you roast and the way grind) according to the way you like it. Recently I heard of a small enterprises that roast their own coffee beans and sell them to restaurants. Would like to see how that works in practice 😁
Worlds best huh
Im tired of figuring out the grind size for moka so I will just give up and buy illy lol. ill reserve my fresh ground for ppour over
The correct grind for a moka pot is medium-fine. Bialetti will tell you to use medium-fine if you email them.
Most espressos are much too fine for the moka pot, but illy and Lavazza work very well.
Do you purchase the coffee at your supermarket? What label of Lavazza/Illy do you use with the Moka?
Great presentation. Are the stainless steel Bialetti moka express stovetop espresso makers better than the aluminium one featured?
If you want a slightly more premium one look for the Bialetti Brikka. It builts up more pressure.
His cleanliness level is A+ hehehehehhh 😝😝 I'm wondering what his mother thinks about his kitchen 😝😝😝😝😝
Interesting you put cold water into the base; I have heard that the coffee can taste bitter because doing so requires more time for the water to boil and can burn the coffee grinds giving it a burnt taste. I personally wouldn't put as much coffee into the basket as you do. But an informative video all in all.
Much appreciated!
Is a long express 😍
Hi sir, thanks for your comment. These days I use fire. Much faster :)
clean your Bialetti!
Already done. Will upload an update soon. With a better lens and a cleaner kitchen and Bialetti 😀
Lorenzo Cirrincione no kidding
Lorenzo Cirrincione Filthy and rusty? Makes for some flavour I bet!
@@unocarb rusty they are aluminium
Why does the makers, Bialetti, just says to add water (not boiled) and most people on the internet says to put boiled water in it to start...
Hi Steve, thanks for your comment. I am unable to answer your question. These days I use hot water or boiling water to begin with. Cold water works but it won’t get you the same result. I don’t know why Bialetti advices to use cold water...
Gadgets for Gentlemen ok thanks :)
You are welcome sir. Sorry I couldn’t help you any better. Enjoy the coffee though 😁
More than 6 minutes until the water got finally hot! That's an extremely high energy consumption, isn't it? In the video you can see that most of the heat that the stove produces gets far outside of the Bialetti cooker.
Actually I tried a Bialetti on an induction cooktop and the coffe was ready within about 30 seconds. However, on such cooktops you have to care for that you get one of these Bialetti cookers made of stainless steel.
Thanks for your feedback and you are very right sir. Some of my viewers suggested to use boiled water instead of cold water. An energy efficient water cooker would do. That way the Bialetti has a shorter exposure to heat.
Curious as to why there's no crema once poured?
Dear Judy Bernes, this is a very common situation. The crema lasts only briefly the way I made it.
I have been experimenting since I uploaded the video. And I will probably shoot it again.
What I want to try next is the following combination I read here :
www.quora.com/How-do-I-get-good-crema-using-a-Bialetti-Moka-express
Basically using boiling water instead of cold or lukewarm water; lots of coffee gently flattened with a little plate or lid; tightly screw the metal parts with a cloth; lots of heat; once the coffee starts pouring open the lid; get it of the stove wants it starts making sounds.
AH! Thank you...I'd seen some articles that mention adding boiled water to the bottom rather than cold, allowing it to cook quicker, chance of burning lessened etc. So I will follow your new advice! Will be making at for the first time once my Bialetti arrives...my Italian daughter-in-law swears by it!
Maybe your daughter-in-law can teach us all how to make the best Italian espresso at home!
Have fun with the Bialetti. It is a great lifetime investment for your home and for travel too.
Yes, I will find out for sure! lol ;)
For crema, you can also have a Stanley steel jar with a little sugar and pour a very small amount of coffee into it and whisk it with a spoon until it becomes a caramel creme (in about a minute). Then pour all the brewed coffee into the jar (that has this sugar creme) and you'll have lots of crema.
These Italian Mokas are very common in Cuba, and for years, this is how we create the crema
For the respect of all viewers and for your dignity, for the appreciation and respect of your video, instructions, clean your device.
I have done that, sir. Thanks for your comment.
😭
This guy is Dutch... I can tell that accent from miles
Well done 👌🏻
Roland Tuason I agree nothing wrong being - I think we better discuss what's right about being Dutch which is a lot... from football, biking, caravaning, engineering, Van Gogh, first to legalise weed and liberalism. Dutch people = nice (minus P Fortuyn & Geert Wilders :-)
I put a Coffee Paper Filter above in the siphon so the taste of coffee is smoother.
Wow, that’s some strong coffee...🤪
Nice cups though
If this is an espresso, I'm an extraterrestrial from Mars. It doesn't have the high pressure you need to have the REAL ESSPRESO.
This is something similar with the american filter cofee (probably stronger ), only this time you do it with steam. That's all .
Thanks for your comment. You are very right sir!
The funnel is not the filter. The filter is in the bottom of the top part of the moka pot.
Thank you
It’s not an espresso, you need around 9 bar to get the espresso
Have one for several years now.
Very hit or miss. So I only used it for camping. Have something excellent now. Allways good. Heavy, creamy crema. And it's plastic!
?
@@Codzilla71 Nanopresso. Really quite amazing. Very consistent. Have had it 3 or 4 months now. Use it every day.
@@Codzilla71 true. You have to buy the barrista kit to make a double shot. But it's a great double shot.
I thought there is no such thing like 'Espresso' in Italy? They call it simple 'Cafe'. And with this Moka pot you make... Moka ;-)
You are very right sir! 😁☕️
🇮🇹 "Espresso" in Italy has the meaning of "fast".
The espresso coffee machine was invented in Italy in 1901 by Luigi Bezzera from Milan, as an evolution of the Angelo Moriondo machine from 1884.
The Moka coffee maker (or rather "Moka Express") was invented by Alfonso Bialetti in 1933. The addition of "Express" to the name has always created confusion. It was a commercial shrewd ... it does not produce an espresso, but the success of this machine was precisely the fact that you can easily prepare a good coffee at home, in competition with that of the bar.
Thanks for these insightful comments!
@@antc.4457 Thanks for this insightful comment. I should have added that in the video :)
First never wash the machine with any kind of soap , second fill the boiler just under the valve , no more , , fill the filter with the cofee & create a hole with your pinky in the center and place a grain of salt (big one) ,dont press cofee to much , change the rubber seal when it's dark and doesnt seal properly , slow fire , and you will have a nice Italian cofee shot! Ciaoooo
sale? ma sei pazzo, che schifo! hahah
siiii , prova un grano di sale grosso nel buco in centro al filtro....poi mi dirai....
la svomitazza è assicurata xD
Actually, adding just a tiny pinch of salt to coffee is a traditional way to make it less bitter. Many of our grandmothers did that. A century ago, the quality of the coffee that people could afford was not as good as today, and people tried to mask the bitterness with the addition of salt (or cinnamon, or caramellized sugar).
Today, the quality of coffeethat families drink has become better. But according to one's taste, espresso coffee may still be made softer, more velvety by that addition of a few grains of salt. That works better than the addition of sugar, which does not take away the bitterness.
In sum, The Tape Stream-Channel is not being 'pazzo' but sensible. And there's really no need to 'vomitare'. Just open your mind, and try it.
guarda ho provato con il sale come hai detto. Esce una merda! Cioè, in effetti smorza da un lato quelle note amarognole e pesanti, lasciando spazio al vero aroma del caffè. Però dall'altro, si sente appena un sapore sodato.... che oddio, non è che sia proprio il massimo. Forse dovrei provare a metterne ancora meno.
