[RBW] Stovetop Espresso (moka pot) tips please

DP , maybe you just like Moka pot coffee, no biggie. How many ways are there to make coffee , and to whom , and oh btw, is there a "supposed to" when it come to coffee, let alone anything ? Nay ! You know, despite hand washing dishes every day of my life, I never have yet ever done them the

[RBW] Re: Stovetop Espresso (moka pot) tips please

The biggest issue with these is heat control. Tips: 1: boil the water separately and pour into the reservoir. You have to be careful here. I put the base on a towel, loosely screw the top on, and only pick it up with towel for the final tightening. 2: use low-medium heat with the lid open 3:

[RBW] Re: Stovetop Espresso (moka pot) tips please

Aeropress had a problem with the plastic sometime about 2-3 years ago. The plastic developed stress cracks. They changed the plastic and sent replacements free of charge. This is the dilemma with plastic. They thought the bad plastic was good until they found out it was bad. Now the new plastic

[RBW] Re: Stovetop Espresso (moka pot) tips please

The classic Bialetti moka pot is aluminum. While I have never tasted the aluminum, the idea behind not cleaning much or at all is to season the interior with coffee oils to mitigate this effect. Bialetti and others make stainless moka pots. Never owned one, but I have been served from one plent

[RBW] Re: Stovetop Espresso (moka pot) tips please

I don't think a moka pot is a better delivery system than an Aeropress per se, just depends on what you want outta your cup of coffee. I'm not a huge fan of the bright and the floral and the nuanced typical of $20-a-pound 3rd Wave beans, and which an Aeropress handles with aplomb. I'm back to

Re: [RBW] Re: Stovetop Espresso (moka pot) tips please

That is an issue I had never heard of. Very strange. I have had a couple of Aeropress in nearly constant use since about 2006 and have had zero issues with either one of them. They are still going strong. If you wanted metal, I guess you have a stainless version of an Aeropress fabricated. It'

[RBW] Re: Stovetop Espresso (moka pot) tips please

Why'd I bail on Aeropress when it makes a great cup of coffee? Easy. Plastic. It bubbled. Aeropress replaced it, saying they've updated it. Plastic ain't for me. With abandon, Patrick On Monday, December 26, 2016 at 8:25:11 PM UTC-7, eflayer wrote: > > Not trying to be the typical nay saying in

[RBW] Re: Stovetop Espresso (moka pot) tips please

I'll second Jeff's instructions. The grind is important. Don't tamp like you would with an espresso maker. Fill the funnel and smooth the top. I use a sort of medium low flame, one that doesn't quite reach the edges of the pot. And I'll disagree with the others and say well made Bialetti coffee

[RBW] Re: Stovetop Espresso (moka pot) tips please

Dial in your grind. Not as fine as espresso, not as coarse as pour over. Totally depends on your grinder, but be prepared to experiment. Don't pack the grounds too tight. Fill the... whatever-it's-called to overflowing, then scrape flat across. I use my finger. Make sure it's really cranked dow

As a dedicated Italophile, I find myself wishing I could love moka pot (macchinetta) coffee. I've tried. A lot. But the sad truth is that they just don't make great coffee compared to other methods. If you want espresso, you can't substitute a moka pot for a proper macchina. If you want strong

Re: [RBW] Re: OT: Family Coffee/tea Pot

I like that's it's stainless steel, so that there's none of that build up of deposits like in the bottom of the Bialetti. Also, it has a very thick bottom that seems to diffuse heat better and result in a smoother espresso. Jay On Mon, Dec 26, 2016 at 9:34 PM Deacon Patrick wrote: > Jay, > > CF

If you're 1) willing to switch to drinking americanos, and 2) can give up MUSA for made in Italy, Vev Vigano has stainless moka pots that brew 12 cups of espresso at a time. I like my (much smaller version) much better that the ubiquitous Bialetti. Jay Hartman Jay Hartman On Mon, Dec 26, 2016 at
