Brew Guide

Moka Pot


The Moka Pot brews rich espresso no matter where you are. At home on a stove-top or on a campfire, you can savour the intense flavour of an Italian‑style coffee.

Step 1

Fill the base of the Moka with water to just below the steam release valve.

Step 2

Fill the brew basket with coffee to the top, slightly compressing the grinds. Place the brew basket in the base and screw on the top.

Step 3

Heat the Moka on a low-to-medium heat. Allow just enough heat that the coffee flows evenly from the top spout.

Step 4

Listen for when the air start pushing through the spout – this will sound that you are approaching the end of the brew. Remove the Moka Pot from the heat source and enjoy an espresso.
