MOKA POT (Stovetop Espresso)

The Moka Pot offers a classic and rich brewing experience, producing a bold, concentrated coffee that’s often described as stovetop espresso. Using gentle steam pressure, it pushes hot water through finely ground coffee to extract deep, intense flavors and a naturally creamy mouthfeel.

What You’ll Need:

• Moka pot
  
• Fine ground coffee (a bit coarser than espresso)
  
• Kettle (optional)
  
• Stove
  

Preparation:

• Water: Fill lower chamber just below the valve
  
• Coffee: Fill basket and level off (don’t tamp)
  
• Use hot water to reduce bitterness
  

Brew Process:

1. Assemble pot and place on medium heat.
   
2. Brew until you hear a gurgling sound.
   
3. Remove from heat immediately.
   
4. Cool bottom under water to stop extraction.
   
5. Serve and enjoy.

Roaster’s Tip: Use freshly ground coffee just slightly coarser than espresso — too fine and you’ll risk over-extraction or clogging. Preheat your water before adding it to the bottom chamber to reduce the time the coffee spends over heat, helping preserve delicate flavors and avoid bitterness.
