5.0 out of 5 starsFinally Italian coffee in the US
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2021
So first of all I'm Italian, let's start from there. I don't judge the American coffee, but when I came here the first time it was kind of a shock. I always missed the Italian coffee that's why I bought this moka pot. You need a specific type of person to drink the coffee that the moka makes, because it's stronger and more concentrate than the American one and the flavour it's just different. Especially about the cups, don't think that the moka makes 6 American cups...when they say 6 cups they're referring to the expresso cups.
Yeah, because the moka makes the espresso coffee you know.
Anyway...finally, when I received the moka was absolutely perfect, box completely sealed, made in Italy and I felt very happy because I was able to drink my coffee again every single time.
If you're reading this review let me tell you some tips to make the best coffee with a moka.
1st - Use just espresso coffee like Lavazza, you can grind your own coffee just be sure to do it as finest as possible. Buying a good coffee of an excellent brand will guarantee you an excellent final result.
2nd - FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS, MAKE AND WASTE MINIMUM 3 MOKAS BEFORE DRINKING THE COFFEE. "But it's a waste of coffee, I can drink it when I'm going to work and blablabla".
NO, THATS HOW IT WORKS OK?? You have to remove any fabric residues, and this process takes time or do you want to drink some aluminium? I guess not.
3rd - Wash it by hand, don't use any kind of soap just water. And specially about the central chamber where the coffee appears, don't clean it particularly well. The coffee residues at the bottom will ensure that the moka is committed to the aroma, and the coffee will be more and more intense from time to time.
4th - Mix the coffee inside the chamber before serving, if you don't do it the first cup will be a light coffee and the other ones will be too stronger. Trust me.
5th - When you served the coffee and the moka is empty DON'T WASH IT IMMEDIATELY!! Let it rest aside for a few hours, forget about it. In this way the moka will absorb the aroma of the coffee which from time to time will be more intense, enveloping and the moka itself will cool down safely. Just to say that I clean the moka the morning after when I have to make another coffee for the morning. Of course if you use it once in a while let it cool down and wash it, I'm not saying not to clean the moka at all.
So, I hope you enjoyed my review (if so let me know by pressing the button below) and I hope that you will enjoy the coffee that makes the moka as much as I love it. Follow my tips and it will be perfect. Thank you!!
