Love your coffee, brew like an Italian.
Step 1: Add Water
Fill the lower chamber with cold water just below the valve.
Step 2: Add Coffee
Insert the funnel and fill it with ground coffee (do not tamp). Remove any coffee grounds on the edge of the funnel. Tightly screw the upper part of the pot on to the base. Avoid using handle for leverage.
Step 3: Add Heat
Select burner size to fit bottom of the Moka. For gas stovetop, make sure the flame is not larger than bottom of the Moka. The flame should not come around the sides of the pot. Heat until the water boils and coffee begins to come out of the center post. There will be a gurgling sound during this process.
Step 4: Enjoy
When the top of the pot is full of coffee, remove from stove. Before pouring coffee, stir it in the upper chamber with a small spoon to equalize all the different coffee layers for optimum flavor.
Tips
- To produce a great cup of Moka Pot coffee, always ground your coffee right before brewing. Freshly ground coffee will give an amazing brew result. If you don't own a coffee grinder, we recommend to use Illy Moka Ground Coffee.
