Tip: brew it sometimes just with water to clean the inside of the upper part too

Dude, i just realized how preparing your coffee has some zen to it. It's not just about drinking and tasting coffee. When you include the way you prepare it, it also become an experience as a whole. There many ways to prepare coffee and I'm interested in learning them all.

I was watching and nodding with a faint smile on my face while you were going over the importance of using boiling water, fresh ground coffee, and not tamping the basket, but I had no idea that the gasket and showerhead beneath the pot could be removed and cleaned! Mine were nasty. Thanks, three years later.

Fantastic video! Haven't used my moka pot in forever due to bitter, gritty coffee. This morning I did I deep clean on my moka pot and used the process you recommend and got a great cup of coffee.

Best instructions on the web. Brewing with hot water, correct grind size of beans, when and how to stop brewing, and proper cleaning of the pot. All these improved the enjoyment of my morning brew. And there's something about the "ritual" that is very calming...who knew?

Today I watched this as life is changing everywhere and I'm staying in with coffee... I love Italy so much and I'm so sad for your situation. I hope you and all your loved ones are safe. Thank you for this and I hope you get to travel and spread the joy of coffee again one day! Love from Australia. 🇦🇺🦘☕️

Don’t use the handle when tightening the pot or unscrewing, won’t last long

Me, a caffeine addicted talian who uses a moka everyday: "Well...guess I'll watch it anyway for the sake of coffee"

I've just bought my Moka Pot and I'm excited. My mother has been using one for years and was happy I bought one. Drinking coffee European style!!!

[TCPUDPATM]

This is the FIRST video that has talked about grind texture and compacting the coffee... thanks!

[dotmunson]

Perfect instruction when in Italy and the airbnb only comes w this little gem. Thank you!

This REALLY helped me enjoy coffee better.

I've learned two important things this week to improve my Moka Pot coffee.... First I also didn't know you can remove the seal to open that bottom and really clean the inside! Second, I didn't know that its better to use a slightly coarser grind rather than very fine like espresso. I'm looking forward to improving the taste of my Moka Pot coffee!

[gSloverreel]

Thanks guys! I got a Bialetti Moka years ago as a gift but couldn't figure it out. So simple and delicious!

[stevenjenkins]

I never really thought about removing the seal and cleaning the 2nd filter. Thanks for the tip

Wholly sh*t it I just made coffee two times. First time packed coffee and added room temp water. Came out slightly lighter and chalky. Next time cleaned it, didn’t pack it, added hot water then brewed. Came out unreal. Darker color, rich taste, a perfect espresso!! Thank you for this video!

I am a victim of bitter coffee every time I us my Moka Pot so it has been on punishment. It's been in my cupboard unused for almost a year now just taking up space.


I have never seen anyone on YouTube remove and clean the gasket and screen before. I am definitely going to give that a try. Thanks for the Great Post!

[omgaud]

Mind officially blown. The ground size, the pre-brew temp of the water, and the cleaning of the Moka Post after each use. It's coffee that has process, soul, and respect.
