The Ultimate Moka Pot Technique

DELONGHI EMK6 for Authentic Italian Espresso

By: James Hoffmann

This video provides an in-depth look at how to use a moka pot to make the perfect cup of coffee. It explains the three chambers of the moka pot and how the steam and expanding air press the water through the coffee into the collection receptacle. The video also provides constants and variables to tweak the brew to get the best out of each cup. Constants include putting boiling water in the base, filling the basket with a 10 to 1 ratio of water to coffee, and avoiding the hot sputtering phase at the end of brewing. Variables include the type of coffee, the grind size, and the amount of water in the boiler. With the right technique, a moka pot can make a delicious cup of coffee.
