I have learned to preheat the water in the microwave before putting my 6 cupper on my gas stove. I'm able to use a lower heat setting, and all is done in around 4 minutes. The result is a slow steady flow (no spattering) and a nice layer of crema like foam on top. I learned about these things30+ years ago during my time working in Sicily. They were present in most kitchens. The Bialetti Moka Express is the best.
Why does the foam important? It doesn't make it taste any better nor make it look like you just got back from the coffee shop with an espresso. I doubt you learned to preheat the water thirty years ago. I bet you learned it here on TH-cam.
@Bohdan M exactly. I did the pre heat method here on TH-cam and it tasted bitter. I used cold water like I have been, set our stove (we use electric) on two or three dial and it came out less bitter. Might need to use more water. But at the time I was using espresso dark roast ground. I learned if you're using dark roast to use less water so it doesn't take long to boil and brew the coffee. Light and Medium you need more water so the water can extract more of the oils because they're light or medium roast.
@Bohdan M plus i doubt they had kennels back in the day. The bottom boiler is basically a kennel. It's easier too. Cold water, screw on. No need to use a towel or oven mitts.
Actually you can adjust the strength of your coffee this way: Higher temperature on the stove --> quicker extraction process --> less strong coffee lower temperature on the stove --> slower extraction process --> stronger coffee
dicky wijaya they use the same principle but in different strength. moka pot’s steaming only in 2-3 bar, maximum. Espresso machine produce steaming in at least 9 bar. the difference in temperature, speed, hence the strength of coffee extraction. it is way stronger than ordinary drew machine, but weaker than espresso. someway in between
@@dickywijaya9614 you will not get much crema from the moka pot. It's also arguable that the coffee is being extracted at 9 bar pressure as it is in an espresso machine.
Cool. I just inherited one from my Mom who passed away about 5 yrs ago. My b.in-law was cleaning during a house move and found it but doesn't drink Joe. What a gift and unique heirloom!
Thanks for this! My parents used to have one back in the 80s, but they didn't have the rubber ring, or something else was missing. As a child, I always wanted to use the thing, but my mum kept saying it was soooo much work and very difficult. I just believed her, but this seems simple enough.I like that it's not a big machine on your counter. Looking back, my mum did this very often. This is also why we never could spray fake snow on the windows, it was sooooo difficult to get it off! Yeah, right. I'm not a kid anymore, I think at 35 years old it's time to make my own decisions, lol!
+Eleonore Bon the rubber gasket thing was missing on my parents one too and after some research i finally understood why the coffee that came out was just not good. I bought a new one and It's gonna be great
That's why I looked into one of these cause I thought this day and age everything was done by machine, and didn't really want another contraption on the counter; apart from hubby thinking that now that I work with a chef, that I'm going to be going crazy and buy all this stuff and not use half of it, of which I'm not Wish he could see me for who I am now, and not for who I was
mine arrived yesterday and i have to say it really makes a tasty cup of coffee :D i bought the six cup version wich is good for 2 cups of coffee ( european standard). Im not a expert in making coffee at all, i just used to enjoy my senseo but now that i have the bialetti i think my senseo had his best time. The coffee is just really tasty. I bought 60% arabica and 40% robusta beans ( was the cheapest option, i did not want to buy super expensive coffee on my first try) with it so when it arrived i could start immidiatly so the first thing i did was fill it with water let it boil trowed it away then i grind some beans in my blender and filled it with coffee, i did not fill it completly because the first one you have to throw away but i took a sip anyway and it tasted good. But i throwed it away and made a new one and i did not fill it completly full with coffee because when i took a sip of the first one it just tasted good. So i went on with it and sipped my first cup of coffee from a bialetti and the taste is just great , and it was my first try ever. This morning same story , just a great tasting cup of coffee to start the day with. Excuse my bad english, just wanted to help some poeple out who think about buying one.
Thanks for watching. I also have the 4 cup model and I also have a senseo. For the senseo, I´ve used pads from the Netherland, which tastes pretty good. I still use the senseo for a quick & dirty coffee. But if I want the real deal, I use the Bialetti. BTW, I don´t like robusta so much, tastes kind of bitter, depends of personal preferences ;-) You´re from Europe? Where do you come from?
gadjector hey , thank you 2 for sharing this video with us ! Im from holland, jij ook neem ik aan vandaar de nederlandse pads : ) senseo is echt gemanipuleerde zooi maar wel makkelijk en ook best smakelijk als je niet echt een specialist bent op het gebied van koffie is het prima te drinken. Ik had me zak bonen gekocht bij kookwinkel.nl Oldenhof koffie bonen Silver 1kg (eigenmerk) Het was ook meer een test, ik dacht als de bialetti goed bevalt dan ga ik daarna wel over op de betere kwaliteit bonen. Maar het is echt een heel smakelijk kopje koffie dat eruit komt.
I don't what I like better, the demonstration or the music or both! I just purchased the 3 cup Bialetti, gonna be brewing up some" blue coffee" with this video!
Aloha 🌈 from Oahu. Used mine for the 1st time with the Dunkin Medium Roast and 3 liquid coffee mate liquid creamer. Taste so good. My Toyota HiAce extended high ceiling camper van arriving from Japan around Christmas. Looks like I’m going to get much use out of this Moka Express 🙂
This video was so helpful! I don’t normally make myself coffee and I was at a loss on how to do it! Thanks for taking the time to make a straight forward video! 👌🏻
The Americans Amazon reviews for this are so funny... Years living with cheap drip coffee makers, they can't believe it is so easy to make a good coffee.
I started by making "cowboy coffee" on the stove recently. Which makes an electric coffee maker taste horrible. Then I saw one of these in a camp video and rushed out to buy one. I am very impressed with the 6 cup model that makes a perfect 8oz cup of coffee. I'm never going back.
Ha ha, so true, Clara! I'm one of those drip coffee Americans, and I'm having a wonderful time discovering that, as in the case of the Mokka pot, the simplest is quite often the best. ; )
TRDBucket Lol I agree, although now Bialetti makes an espresso version that supposedly increases the pressure and makes a decent cup. I’ve yet to try it, though.
Basicly Ok but there are varibles ie Type of coffee, "your" heat source, temp of water to start and if you want to use all the brew or leave the last. I experimented till I could produce just what I liked Mmm. All good fun. Nice Vid. Cheers from Australia...............off to the kitchen.
Put some hot water is preferable like that the coffee do not burn the time which the water warms and leave the hood opened during the preparation and you will have a coffee with an optimal taste, a good tasting!
I always thought that the lid should be kept open to stop condensation and you should stir once its finished to mix the strongest first coffee with the later weaker flavour.
Thank you. Apparently, someone finds the making of a cup of coffee very seductive. Check out the music. I just purchased one today, having been intimidated for years, but hate having large appliances in my kitchen. Man I can even travel with this as long as a hot plate's available.
Hi, I have a new moka express today. I have noticed it to be very silent when the coffee is coming out of the tube and I don't hear a hissing sound for it to get out of the stove. Is this normal for a Bialetti moka express? Is there something wrong with it? Thanks.
That was close to the same amount of grounds I’d use for 5-6 cups of coffee for only one cup! Does this make for stronger coffee as far as caffeine content? Obviously it would taste stronger..
Producing crema with a Moka is a myth... As far as I can recall crema is produced by pressure during the percolation; 9 BAR or something like that. That being said though, I can consistently produced a faux crema using freshly ground beans - however, it dissipates as soon as the coffee is poured into the cup :)
Thank you for the excellent video tutorial. Can you tell me the maker of the coffee cup and saucer you use at the end of the video and where you ordered it from. thank you again.
It should be very quiet, then you remove it from the heat immediately when you hear it gurgle. An Italian woman, Annalisa J, is the only one on TH-cam who's video shows the 100% correct traditional Italian way to make moka pot coffee. Before I watched her video I got bad results from all the other incorrect videos, now my coffee is perfect. Search for her video.
Hi, thanks for sharing this. I am thinking to buy one and the one I am thinking to buy is for 4 cups. Can i brew it just one cup per time or it does need to fill the water up to the limit of 4 cups?
When should I put some whisky in my coffee, in the top of the Bialetti Moka Express before poring, in the cup or make it with pure whisky and heat that the whisky direct?
Hi sweet supernova Thx,.I'm doing well! Just fill water up to the valve and add coffee as shown. Tasted the best imho. This works for any bialetti size. I use only clear water for cleaning. Stay heathy!
I picked up a cheap copy somewhere. Yes it makes beautiful coffee but it seems to evaporate very quickly. I wonder if the Bialetti guards against this.
Yeah, I notice a difference. My mom has a cheap imitation of the real Bialetti, while I have the real thing, and I definitely notice a difference in the quality of coffee and the process itself too.
As it appears you are using a lot of coffee to produce a small cup, can the pot be refilled with water and use the same coffee grounds to make a second cup?
Hi, i see it's the model 3-cup of espresso. But in the end of the movie you use all from the moka to the cup. Is that very strong coffee like really 3xespresso or it taste like moderately strong coffee (something like one espresso with hot water- similar to the popular americano)? I like quite strong black coffee and don't know what can I choose (2cup or 3cup model)
I have got the 3 cup size bialetti. I only want to drink a small shot tho. Can i adjust the water + coffee to make less coffee, but still have a good taste?
I'm looking for advice on which size to buy - the 1, 3, or 6-cup pot. I drink coffee daily, but often share a pot with a friend or friends. If I purchased a 3 or 6-cup pot, can I easily make one cup just by scaling down the amount of grounds and water? Thanks in advance to all helpful tips!
The music ist from JR Tundra, Titel Bar Crawl. I´ve changed the music to this song 2 weeks ago, due to license-trouble with the original song. The actual song is free of license and provided by TH-cam
It sounds like the kind of music they play in films, when women are stripping.... Thanks for the video, though. My new moka didn't have markers on the inside, so I wasn't sure how much water to put in it.
No! You'll only get good results with medium-fine ground coffee, per Bialetti instructions. There are a few pre-ground espressos that work well in the moka pot, but most espressos are ground much to fine. Pre-ground espressos that work well in the moka pot are illy Classico Espresso, Lavazza Qualitá Rossa, and Lavazza Crema e Gusto. Other coffees that are ground especially for the moka pot are illy Classico Moka Ground, and illy Intenso Moka Ground, which have a little red moka pot icon on the bottom front label.
Hi Executice EDC. The 3 cup model gives you ca. 150 ml of coffe. For a coffee mug of 300 ml, I recommend the 6 cup model. I don´t own the 1 cup Bialetti, but I think, it can just fill in italian espresso cup.
Hi just got one and am excited to use it, thanks for the tutorial, have one question, do I have to fill the funnel filter full with ground coffee always or Cani fill it half if I want to make one spot only?
I would've preferred to have known, that I must pour out the first three coffees! I watched this since the espresso maker came without any instructions!! instructions on the
You COULD try to place it in a dry pan maybe? Should work, but use an old one without non-stick coat. Also, there are flat round iron plates for induction stove tops, so you can use dear old cooking gear and that should work for the bialetti, but I don't find that very practical because have fun getting a freakin' hot metal plate without a handle away from the stove ;)
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?
Oh, sorry to hear that. You may have bought a cheap knock-off of the real thing. Was it made in Italy, and does it have the certified Bialetti logo? there's a lot of aluminum cheap imitations of the real Bialetti moka express...
Here's the big question though - when you have the lid down, how do you know it's time to switch the heat off? I listen, and as soon as I hear a breathy noise from it, I assume that's all the liquid I'm going to get, everything from here is just steam. #amidoingitright?
@@Cypeq 1 - It might be a crime somewhere in the world; 2 - I don't want to invoke the wrath of The Italian Coffee Gods; 3 - I'm blind; 4 - I don't like the drips on my stove top. One of these is the case...
at the end of extraction it starts to make a sound gurgles and spits, that the time to turn it off. If it does this during extraction then your heat is way too high.
Yes, you just have to find the setting of heat that works best for you! In addition I have seen suggestions to keep a really cold towel to cool the base when you pull it off to stop the brewing.
Keep in mind it's espresso not coffee. Much stronger than coffee. One 2 oz shot of espresso is approximately equal to a regular mug of standard strength coffee. I actually mix mine with 50% hot water to make coffee that's still stronger and more rich than my regular drip machine makes. You can make some great cappuccino with these and some expensive models even have milk frothers to make cream topped cappuccino and such.
I don´t know ohter moka pots, but I think, there´s no big difference. If it works technically the same as the Bialetti, keep your old one. If the functionality is different, you should try the Bialetti out and share your expirience with me ;-)

I always thought that the lid should be kept open to stop condensation and you should stir once its finished to mix the strongest first coffee with the later weaker flavour.
It's more safe with the lid closed. At the end, the coffee may spit around.
I mix my sugar inside the top because it's only me drinking it 🤣

Thx,.I'm doing well! Just fill water up to the valve and add coffee as shown. Tasted the best imho. This works for any bialetti size. I use only clear water for cleaning. Stay heathy!
Thanks for the tutorial.
Hope, you enjoy it :-)
I picked up a cheap copy somewhere. Yes it makes beautiful coffee but it seems to evaporate very quickly. I wonder if the Bialetti guards against this.
Yeah, I notice a difference. My mom has a cheap imitation of the real Bialetti, while I have the real thing, and I definitely notice a difference in the quality of coffee and the process itself too.
As it appears you are using a lot of coffee to produce a small cup, can the pot be refilled with water and use the same coffee grounds to make a second cup?
+CincyRedsFan 513 I don't recomment that, the coffee becomes less aromatic. A small cup and tons of coffee, that's, what mokka is all about ;-)
Hi, i see it's the model 3-cup of espresso. But in the end of the movie you use all from the moka to the cup. Is that very strong coffee like really 3xespresso or it taste like moderately strong coffee (something like one espresso with hot water- similar to the popular americano)? I like quite strong black coffee and don't know what can I choose (2cup or 3cup model)
Like really strong coffee
I have got the 3 cup size bialetti. I only want to drink a small shot tho. Can i adjust the water + coffee to make less coffee, but still have a good taste?
No general rule for that, try it out.
Qual è il caffè macinato, che marca?
I'm looking for advice on which size to buy - the 1, 3, or 6-cup pot. I drink coffee daily, but often share a pot with a friend or friends. If I purchased a 3 or 6-cup pot, can I easily make one cup just by scaling down the amount of grounds and water? Thanks in advance to all helpful tips!
I think, the 6 cup model is the for you, if you like to have two coffee at once!
I have a 3-cup pot and that's barely just enough for myself. If you're the kind of coffee drinker that wants more than a sip that is ☕☺️
What music is this playing?
I dont remember, it is a youtube stock track.
The music, who is playing this and what is the song called?? sounds very good.
The music ist from JR Tundra, Titel Bar Crawl.
I´ve changed the music to this song 2 weeks ago, due to license-trouble with the original song. The actual song is free of license and provided by TH-cam
It sounds like the kind of music they play in films, when women are stripping....
Thanks for the video, though. My new moka didn't have markers on the inside, so I wasn't sure how much water to put in it.
1Flyingfist Thanks for watching! Stripclub music, hehe, not bad, man!
Great video but who is the band. Wish I could lay down some lead like that.
JR Tundra, it´s free to use on youtube, you can find it at the youtube library.
Cheers Markus
Can I use it with any type of coffee??
Yes, of course!
No! You'll only get good results with medium-fine ground coffee, per Bialetti instructions.
There are a few pre-ground espressos that work well in the moka pot, but most espressos are ground much to fine.
Pre-ground espressos that work well in the moka pot are illy Classico Espresso, Lavazza Qualitá Rossa, and Lavazza Crema e Gusto. Other coffees that are ground especially for the moka pot are illy Classico Moka Ground, and illy Intenso Moka Ground, which have a little red moka pot icon on the bottom front label.
I bought that exact model today at the 2-nd hand store for under 7 dollar
That's a bargain. Congrats!
I make Love to this music. (to myself)

Does the 3 cup make enough for one normal USA coffee cup? Or would the 1 cup Bialetti suffice?
Hi Executice EDC. The 3 cup model gives you ca. 150 ml of coffe. For a coffee mug of 300 ml, I recommend the 6 cup model. I don´t own the 1 cup Bialetti, but I think, it can just fill in italian espresso cup.
thanks!
I love mokapot
As I do👍🏻
Great tune also!

Thank you!
Guys I have an induction stove top, can I still use this machine with it?
Cristian MJC No
Yes, you can. Look at the Bialetti Venus.
Oh man I mistakenly fill the water too much and covered the valve..
Would it destroy the pot? D:
+Altuz No, it's just a pressure relief valve for safety
No but this happened to me and it exploded covering the entire room in hot coffee luckily the kitchen was empty
Nice blues
Alessandro Bergamo Thx!
i dont have the time to read all the comments, but is it safe to put the bialetti under running cold water after you have pour the coffee in the cup
I don't recomment that. It is too much tension to the aluminum
Running cold water to hot pot is not good because it will deform the metal. You can run warm water to help cool pot down faster.
thanks bought it in the market .just like to know how to use it
Hi Lydia. Hope you enjoy your coffee as much as I do :-)
thanks for video. can you add milk into?
Sure, when the mokka is finished, add milk, sugar or brandy ;-) as you like.
you can also just ad the milk before hand then you do not have to stir
Hi just got one and am excited to use it, thanks for the tutorial, have one question, do I have to fill the funnel filter full with ground coffee always or Cani fill it half if I want to make one spot only?
Hi Naresh, add as much coffee as you like
gadjector thanks for your help
Do we adjust water volumes according to the number off shouts we want to make?
@Bohdan M thank you for your help
Why do i expect Billy Gibbons to show up and take a zip of that coffee.
Haha, great, but Billy F. Gibbons wasn't in my house. Yet.
I would've preferred to have known, that I must pour out the first three coffees!
I watched this since the espresso maker came without any instructions!! instructions on the
Yes, you´re right.
Hi Guys I've just ordered 6 cup model can someone please let me know how many grams per cup? Thanks ☺️
Hi joz119. I didn't check that. Just test it out yourself
15 grams I've found works for me
Hi I only have an induction stove top. Is there anyway to use my Bialett Moka express on it?
You COULD try to place it in a dry pan maybe? Should work, but use an old one without non-stick coat. Also, there are flat round iron plates for induction stove tops, so you can use dear old cooking gear and that should work for the bialetti, but I don't find that very practical because have fun getting a freakin' hot metal plate without a handle away from the stove ;)
Company does make this for induction stove. Amazon sells it. It's stainless steel and round shape with 6 cups capacity. I have it. It works well.
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?
Oh, sorry to hear that. You may have bought a cheap knock-off of the real thing. Was it made in Italy, and does it have the certified Bialetti logo? there's a lot of aluminum cheap imitations of the real Bialetti moka express...
Bizarre! I never had a problem like that
It's best to aways wash first with soap and water before first brew.
Here's the big question though - when you have the lid down, how do you know it's time to switch the heat off? I listen, and as soon as I hear a breathy noise from it, I assume that's all the liquid I'm going to get, everything from here is just steam. #amidoingitright?
It's not a crime you can have a look.
@@Cypeq
1 - It might be a crime somewhere in the world;
2 - I don't want to invoke the wrath of The Italian Coffee Gods;
3 - I'm blind;
4 - I don't like the drips on my stove top. One of these is the case...
at the end of extraction it starts to make a sound gurgles and spits, that the time to turn it off. If it does this during extraction then your heat is way too high.
Can I use an electric stove?
Yes, you just have to find the setting of heat that works best for you! In addition I have seen suggestions to keep a really cold towel to cool the base when you pull it off to stop the brewing.
Yes, of course
That moka is too f.... clean!
boiling water / freshly grind coffee (not dark roast or italian roast) and it’s great!
So, enjoy your coffee✌🏻
how many shots of coffee is the 3-cup model equivalent to?
I don´t understand your question due to my bad english. Sorry for that.
my mistake. i meant to ask: how many shots are in a 3-cup Bialetti?
the 3 cup is 3 2oz cups of espresso
Keep in mind it's espresso not coffee. Much stronger than coffee. One 2 oz shot of espresso is approximately equal to a regular mug of standard strength coffee. I actually mix mine with 50% hot water to make coffee that's still stronger and more rich than my regular drip machine makes. You can make some great cappuccino with these and some expensive models even have milk frothers to make cream topped cappuccino and such.
I have a moka pot but it's not Bialetti. Why should I get one? Why is it considered the best?
I don´t know ohter moka pots, but I think, there´s no big difference. If it works technically the same as the Bialetti, keep your old one. If the functionality is different, you should try the Bialetti out and share your expirience with me ;-)
hi I just got one of these do you leave the lid up when making the coffee or are u supposed to leave in down that is closed?
Down. They just left it open so you can see what happens.
+WhereYouWannaBe thank you.
That´s right, usually, keep the can closed due to coffee-spitting at the end ;-)
