Wtf is the Moka Pot?
Moka pots are stovetop coffee makers that produce a distinctly strong brew. The stovetop’s heat creates pressurized steam, that eventually forces boiling water upward through the grounds. You’ll probably hear moka pots referred to as “stovetop espresso makers” by their manufactures, but this is technically inaccurate. Moka Pots don't produce ''espresso''. They produce their own unique type coffee. We call it ''coffee'' You can call ''cafe'' like our Italian friends do. It's stronger, less bitter, more flavoured, intense... There is no coffee can beat a cup of your favourite brand coffee brewed in Moka Pot with spring water.
How To Brew?
We'll use my old friend. My favoured one. Never let me down.
Put some water into water tank. Make sure it's ''spring water''. It's very important. %96 coffee is actually water. Quality water means quality coffee. Water lavel shouldn't be above safety valve inside the water tank.
Put the filter basket on.
Your favourite coffee in. Make sure it's freshly grounded for maximum pleasure.
Check the level. It's important too. Not too much, not too less. Just enough to perfectly fill the filter basket. Never press the coffee with spoon to fit more coffee! It's not an espresso...
Now put them together and make sure it's tight as possible.
You're good to go. Fire on! No machine! It does the job itself. Now you can check your facebook, twitter, instagram. You're few minutes away from an amazing coffee. But keep that in your mind. If you start the process with hot water, you're done under a minute. I highly recommend starting with hot water. The coffee should stay in that thing short as possible.
Here she comes :)
Almost there!
Buon Appetito!
See. Easy cheesy! Of course it's bit more than that and requires some detailing. But this is the main idea of brewing a delicious cup of coffee with Moka Pot.
It's not easy to have an idea about the taste if you've never had a coffee like this. But my friend, please give it a try when u have a chance and I'm sure you'll agree with every positive stuff that I mention about Moka Pot. It's just awesome.
Now I assume you had one. And I want you to imagine that Moka Coffee is on the market in any of those shops. How cool it would be?
That's what we're trying in here heart of London. Please stay tuned for updates.
Thanks for your time coffee lover friends!
