Ohh, haven't done that in forever. Now I miss making coffee this way. I guess I'll dust off my pot today, see if it still brews good.
How was it.
Had to come back home from work. I guess calling it "intense" would be appropriate. I've missed the coffee fountain, the bubbles and the thick black coffee that this method produces. What I don't miss is the waiting and watching, cause it won't turn itself off when it's done, and the eventual hassle of cleaning the pot and all its parts every time I want a coffee. Oh well, nature of the beast I guess. Still, worth going through it when one craves a strong cup of coffee.
The "hassle of cleaning"? Are you sure you're doing it right? It's literally only 3 parts and you just need to rinse them with water, you don't even use soap.
Yea, true, water reservoir, top part where coffee gathers, coffee basket, gasket and a filter. No I don't use soap as you said, only water. I guess I'm just lazy, and doing it in the morning when I'm short on time, playing around with a hot pot is kinda not the thing I'd like to do. That's why I use a phin most of the time, as it's just a thin and light piece of steel, and it cools off really quickly, easy to clean and no need to worry about corrosion and sum such. To be honest I'd have to try how it'd work out, as I never used it day to day. I always had this notion that a moka pot, being made out of aluminium, doesn't like to sit in water. I don't know for sure how true it is, but to be on the safe side I always rinsed it thoroughly and wiped it dry. Maybe I was overdoing it?
