1.First, you will need to fill the base with hot water, fill to just below the pressure valve inside
2.Weigh out and grind your beans. We recommend usinga 10-1 water ratio in the base to coffee. Optionally, for simplicity and ease of use, you can fill up the filter basket and use that as a measurement for your beans.
3.When placing the grounds into the basket, do not tamp or flatten them, but rather tap the basket to even out and settle the grounds.
4.Place the filter basket into the base and connect the top brew chamber to the base.
5.Place the Moka on medium to low heat. It should take between 3-5 minutes to brew.
6.As it brews, keep a good eye on it. As it gets hotter, the Moka will reach a phase where the coffee will sputter out more aggressively instead of steadily pouring. This will make your coffee bitter, so pull it off the heat as you see this happen.
7.Pour into your cup and enjoy!
1.When grinding, the lighter your roast, the finer you will need to grind the coffee to get a good extraction.
2.You can add an Aeropress paper filter to the ground coffee before connecting the base and brewing chamber. This will provide a better extraction and a cleaner cup with fewer ground particles.
3.You can experiment with different water levels. If you use a darker roast, you might only fill the boiler 3/4 full, whereas, with a lighter roast, you want as much water as you can to extract the flavours from the coffee properly. This technique aims to get as much water as possible through the coffee before it spatters.
Once your coffee is made, you can keep the Moka clean by washing it with soap and water and drying it thoroughly. For more details, see the downloadable PDF below.
