How To Make Coffee With Moka Pot. Many italians prefer coffee made with a moka, rather than coffee made with an espresso machine. Now that you have prepared your coffee grounds, and filled the moka pot with hot water it’s time to make the coffee.
The water chamber (base), the coffee basket with a funnel, and the upper chamber, where the fresh coffee gets pushed out through a spout in the center. Screw the two chambers tightly together. The amount of coffee you want determines the moka pot size to purchase.
It’s important to understand that moka pot cups don’t translate to a standard drip brew cup.
Boil water, and fill the bottom half of your moka pot with water that’s fresh off the boil. Make sure you’re around to hear your coffee gurgle: If there are grounds that maybe stuck inside, use your index to dislodge them. Remove pot from heat just when coffee starts to gurgle, before it starts to rise and bubble.
