Moka Pot

A stovetop brewer that pushes steam-pressured water through the grounds for a rich, espresso-style cup — simple, no electricity needed.

Steps

  1. 1.Use a fine grind — finer than drip, coarser than espresso.
  2. 2.Fill the bottom chamber with hot water up to just below the safety valve.
  3. 3.Fill the basket with grounds, leveling them off without tamping.
  4. 4.Assemble the pot and set it on low to medium heat with the lid open.
  5. 5.As soon as you hear gurgling or sputtering, remove it from the heat and pour immediately to avoid a burnt, over-extracted cup.
