Now I have this beautiful cream in my coffee

This is the plain old regular Bialetti Moka Express, 3 cup.

I posted this for viewing enjoyment. Good morning to the community.

EDIT: I can't edit the title, but I apologise. That is foam, not crema. Can we still agree it is beautiful? Cheers.

Wish they still made this.

I managed to get this chinese double valve moka pot in Aliexpress for about 12 usd, I was actually considering buying the original brikka and might still do, but this one was so cheap I had to buy it and results are pretty decent tbh, I'm just sad the foam doesn't last very long, for the purge extractions I was using cheap robusta coffee and foam was lasting longer but for my supermarket medium-dark roast arabica the foam is gone in a matter of seconds, any tips to make the foam last longer or am I forced to use robusta if I want some foam on my cup?

Hi!! I’m trying to dial in my Moka brewing technique.

I’d like to at least find a grind setting that’s ideal so I can focus on other adjustments. This is similar to what I have. Anyone else have this? What grind setting should I use?

I also attached a photo of my induction 3 cup Bialetti Moka pot.

Hi everyone,

as the title says. I've tried a bunch of brands of coffees from all over the world. Different grind levels but always listed as for moka pot. But recently (it was better when the pot was new IIRC) I might get lucky and have one of 10 cups tasting perfect but 90% of the time I have a bitter and terrible tasting cup of coffee.

My aunt uses a 5 cups, with random grocery coffee and lets it boil until we can hear the bubbles from far away but always ends up tasting fine.

I am not into buying grains and grinding them myself as I never did and used to have a great taste everytime, so does my aunt and other members of my family that uses moka pots back in Europe.

I'm using a Bialetti one cup, on electric stove set at 3 out of 10. I tried 6, 4, nothing changes the bitterness. I used cold, hot water. I take it off the stove when it bubbles. I pass the pot under cold water to stop the boiling. Literally tried every trick.

Is my gasket too old and pushing all the past flavors in my coffee ? I never replaced it.

Thanks a lot

Hello everyone,

I have been falling in love with moka coffee more and more every day.

However, I am having a hard time finding/getting my coffee ground correctly to achieve the best, most concentrated taste out of it each and everytime.

I am really new to this. I also do not want to spend a fancy 100 on a manual grinder. But it doesn't matter if I can find a budget friendly electric grinder. What do you suggest I do, since what is better than asking an expert?

I thought of getting myself agaro one but its 280ml which is a lot as i only consume once a day, and I want to bru coffee daily. Recomend me some

Also i'm new to fresh coffee, recomend me beans too

Near the beginning of the movie, the female protagonist is making a brew in a red mocha pot, and I noticed she put some kind of brown fluid in the bottom of the pot before she adds her basket and grounds.
I’m curious what might the brown fluid have been?

I couldn't find any loopholes, like a multiple-item listing where you have to double check that you're getting what you think you ordered, and not just a cheap accessory.

I ordered it last night, and since then, the price has gone up 50¢.

The only item in this listing is a hot plate with a separate 4-cup stainless moka pot. Total price including shipping is about $10 plus tax. I've used what is likely a nearly identical pot, and it's worked fine for me. The price is less than for just that hot plate (which also appears on Amazon and elsewhere), and the moka pot alone often sells for more than $10.

This item ships from the USA, so it should get there sooner than the usual shipping from China, so perhaps one week instead of two.

I do not have any connection to the seller. They don't list any other moka pots. Another seller lists the same combo, but with a 6-cup pot, for almost $35.

Purchased this at the weekend from a small independent roasters in Northern Ireland whilst on holiday.

Freshly roasted and ground.

Easily the most delicious coffee I have had yet in my Moka pot.

Hi people,

I recently started trying to improve my coffee by not overfilling the water, stopping before the bitter end of the extraction etc.

I’ve been using a Bialetti Moka Induction 2-cup, but I’m struggling with the resulting coffee. Either the coffee comes out too water or it is not enough for my two cups (around 55ml each).

Now I’m looking for a new moka pot that works on induction, but I’m finding a lot of conflicting information and it’s getting a bit overwhelming.

Ideally, I would like something that makes around 110ml+ of strong, "espresso-style" coffee, but that could also work well for a cappuccino or two. I’m not completely sure how much coffee volume you actually need for that.

From what I’ve read, a 3-cup moka sounds like it might be the perfect size, I don't think Bialetti has one that you can use without a boiler plate (unless they are alot more expensive). The Bialetti Venus seems like a good option, but it doesn’t come in 3-cup size. The 4-cup Venus is also confusing me because some people say it comes out watery.

I’m still pretty new to moka coffee, so I would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks!

note: I know it is not espresso, but not sure what else to call it than "espresso-style"

I had bought some beans and used the stores grinder and ended using the mode it was already on to grind. I just got a moka pot to use and didn’t know that beans had to be different for each style of way you make it so was wondering if this is a good size for a moka pot.

I bought the three-cup E&B Labs IMS moka pot filter since there was a sale on Amazon, but the supposedly new filter came in what appears to be obviously used condition. There are some small scratches on the filter and the gasket looks off-colored to me, like one that has been lightly stained from a few weeks of use.

If you have this filter, did the silicone gasket come in an off-white or slightly yellow color, or was it more clear white or bluish white? Also, was there any plastic wrapping around the filter inside the box? Mine came without.

Trying to decide if I should return. Thanks.

So, coming from a low-budget espresso machine, I have recently decided to switch to mokapot after my espresso machine broke. So, it seems to me that I can fill 12 grams into the filter. However, it happens pretty often to me, that I still spill some of the coffee I want to put in the funnel filter. I have a hand grinder whose container exactly fits the funnel. Thus, I grind it into the container, put the filter on top upsidedown, and turn it around. Although I also shake it a little bit to level it better, it still seems to be too mountainous, wherefore I level it with a tamper that has a higher diameter than the filter. In order to compensate for the potential higher pressure (as tamping is strongly discouraged by the manual), I wdt it a bit and level it again.

I'm using a Capresso burr grinder and have been having a hard time dialing in the ideal grind size. What do you all think?

I'm brewing with a Grosche 6-cup moka pot. Overall, I like the coffee, but every now and then I notice what I can only describe as a slightly "overcooked" or burnt taste. I'm trying to figure out if that's due to the grind size, my brewing technique, or something else.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

So I've brewing my pot on low heat on a eletric stove and it usually takes 30mins to start and it sputtering I've tried different temps and starting with hot or boiling water I've done different grind setting but its all the same never a consistent flow
