In the past, the Moka represented a Status Symbol of Italian spirit in the world until the 90s and then, the advent of the more comfortable capsules, almost supplanted the Moka, risking bankruptcy of the Manufacturing Company market. Today the Moka is reliving a second youth, thanks to the young people who have rediscovered this way of making coffee.
To make coffee with a Moka, follow these steps:
-
Fill the bottom tank of the Moka with cold water up to the safety valve.
-
Insert the filter into the coffee pot and fill it with the ground coffee. THEThe coffee must not be pressed into the Moka, it must only be leveled. The ground coffee must be placed in the filter, without being compressed, since the pressure necessary for the passage of the coffee is generated by the pressure of the water rising from the lower part
-
Place the coffee maker on the heat source (hob or fire) and wait for the water to boil.
-
When the water boils, the coffee will begin flowing into the upper jug.
-
the coffee pot must be removed from the heat before the coffee stops flowing, to prevent the coffee from becoming bitter. Once the coffee starts flowing faster into the top pot, it's important to remove it from the heat source to prevent the coffee from continuing to cook and turning bitter. In this way, a coffee with a full and aromatic taste can be obtained.
-
Serve and enjoy hot coffee. ATTENTION! The coffee must be stirred before serving, because the water and the coffee tend to separate and when stirring they are distributed evenly. This way you can ensure that each cup has the right amount of coffee and water and that the taste is balanced.
Note: Make sure you clean your Moka regularly to avoid scale build-up and rancid coffee.
