Brew Guide: Moka Pot
Brew Guide
Moka Pot
The Moka pot brews rich espresso no matter where you are. At home on a stovetop or on a campfire, you savour the intense flavour of an Italian-style coffee!
Step 1
WHAT YOU NEED
Clean, fresh, hot water
Fresh coffee (Filter Grind or Beans)
Optional:
Coffee Grinder
Step 2
Grind Coffee
The amount of coffee will be different depending on the size of your Moka Pot. The aim is to fill the brew basket and level it to the top without compressing the grinds.
Step 3
Prepare
Fill the base of the Moka with boiling water to just below the steam release valve. Place the brew basket in the base and screw on the top. Use a kitchen towel to prevent your hands from burning.
Step 4
Brew
Heat the Moka on a low-to-medium heat. The aim is to get just enough heat that the coffee flows evenly from the top spout.
Step 5
Watch & Listen
Listen for when the air start pushing through the spout. Remove the Moka pot from the heat so the coffee does not start to flow too quickly into the top chamber.
Step 6
Pour & Enjoy
Rince your cup with hot water. Pour and enjoy.
