Step 1. Hot Water Filling
In brewing coffee using mocha pots, you should use hot water to keep the temperature stable so as to affect the quality of taste and aroma of coffee is well preserved. Avoid using drinking water with normal temperature or cold water because it will cause a charred odor due to drastic temperature spikes that occur during the brewing process. The amount of water that needs to be inserted into the mocha pot is enough to the size limit. The limit is usually marked by a screw-like shape.

Check once more to make sure all parts of the pot mocate are firmly installed. Make sure there is no sagging part because it can endanger your own. After that, put the mocha pot on the stove and light the fire with a medium size.

Never leave behind because it is dangerous and cause the quality of coffee can be damaged if not handled properly. If the coffee water is visible out of the pipe, you can immediately attach the lid of the mocha pot. Wait for a few moments until the pot moka starts to make a roar and vibration. If it is, immediately turn off the flame on the stove. Wait a moment longer until the pot mocha does not rumble or vibrate again.
