I have been meaning to try one of these. What does your process look like?
Fill the reservoir in the bottom to just below the pressure valve with good water. Put the grinds basket/funnel thing on, and full it just barely below full with medium grind beans. Screw on the top, put it on the stove on whatever burner is closest in size, open the lid. Turn on the heat and wait until it finishes and you hear it spurt air, then take it off and pour. Time on the heat should be around 3 min total, so start with a low-mid temp, and adjust up each attempt until you know where that heat level is for your stove. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
I prefer weighing beans instead of eyeballing it to get more consistent quality (I use 14 grams for two-cup pot). Also try to take off your mokka just before it gets angry and splushy, that's the point where most bitterness comes out.
Same, my 3tz takes 18 grams. Also taking it off is kinda tricky cause of thermal inertia. Pot is still hot enough to boil the water after taking it off the heat, but that might be due to its higher mass. Anyway, experiment, making coffee is fun.
That's great. Thanks for sharing.
The process is just the grinding (manual grinder in the background), warming up the water a bit and then just using the Moka pot. Its a very nice and easy brew for esspresso and can be used over a campfire.
