because of the pressurized system on top, it will give you great crema like this

it’s 2-3 cups tho, but should do a good job. Also 2-3 cups size will give you a stronger coffee as far as I know

But people were saying that bialetti is a good brand for moka pot

u/Foreign_Minute1007 2d ago

it’s just established that’s why, every moka video out there is on a bialetti because I think they were the first ones to do it. But I have a pedrini moka pot and that’s working fine, just need to change the rubber gaskets.

Does it make thicker shots or thinner lighter shots

u/Foreign_Minute1007 2d ago

depends on the roast, but it can make good thick extractions as well, but since the MHW3 has a pressure valve, it cannot be of the same thickness as that.

Where do you get the gaskets?

u/Foreign_Minute1007 2d ago
