We're in love with our 6-cup moka pot. We like it so much that it has largely replaced our morning pour-over. I enjoy drinking it straight and my husband blends his with steamed milk. We use freshly ground high quality espresso beans (I Have a Bean) and that makes a huge difference in flavor. I know this doesn't produce enough pressure to constitute real espresso (like you get from an espresso machine), but honestly I think the moka pot produces a much better cup of strong, delicious coffee than what I've had from some of my friends' at-home espresso makers. Plus it is super simple, space-saving, and budget friendly. A great buy in my book. I will say it took a little bit of practice to get the hang of it, and here are some tips I learned:
1. Boil filter water first in a kettle before you add it to the bottom chamber of the moka pot. This is different from what the instructions say that come in the package, which state to use cold water. The problem is that if you use cold or room temp water and then put it on the stove, by the time the water heats up enough to create the steam pressure, the coffee is overdone and will have a burnt taste. Using boiling hot water to begin with ensures both a quicker pot of coffee and prevents the burnt flavor. There are some online tutorial videos that can walk you though how to do this.
2. I definitely recommend following the instructions to make three sample pots of coffee and then dump them (don't drink them) before making a batch that you drink. This "primes" the moka pot and prevents any metallic flavors. By the time I made my "fourth" batch (after the three batches I made and threw out), it was delicious and I didn't notice any metallic flavor. It was painful to dump batches of expensive espresso, but worth it for the flavor.
3. Fill the water chamber up to slightly below the fill line, and not equal with the fill line, otherwise you may experience some leaking. The first few batches I made, I filled the water chamber *right* up to the fill line, and I experienced some issues with water leaking out between the top and bottom half (where it screws together). At first I thought this happened because I had not screwed the top half on tightly enough, but it still happened even when it was very securely screwed on. I finally realized that I just have to fill the water up to just a little below the fill line (rather than even with the fill line) and this totally solved the problem.
4. Finally, make sure you take the moka pot apart (including the filter and rubber gasket) wash with warm water (no soap) and let thoroughly dry before you put it back together to store it.
Enjoy!

How to make a perfect italian coffee
|

|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
Fill the boiler up to the lower level of the safety valve, without exceeding it and using fresh water, possibly low in limestone. |
Select a quality blend, suitable for the production of coffee for the Moka. Fill the filter generously, without pressing the coffee powder, forming a small gutter and avoiding dust escaping on the edges of the boiler. Close the coffee pot, screwing the collector firmly onto the boiler and place it on the stove. |
The flame must never envelop the coffee maker, but remain inside the bottom of the same, in order to allow extraction in adequate times and not too quickly. As soon as you start to hear the typical Moka gurgle, the coffee is ready and you will need to turn off the fire immediately. |
Never let excess coffee boil: this would burn it, compromising its success and making it too bitter. Enjoy hot coffee, as soon as it is ready, remembering to mix the contents of the collector: the coffee extracted at the end, in fact, is less full-bodied than that leaked at the beginning of boiling. |
