A moka pot is a great way to make strong, flavorful coffee at home that resembles espresso. This simple but effective device allows you to achieve an intense flavor in just a few minutes. In this blog, we will show you how a moka pot works and how to make the perfect cup of coffee quickly and easily.

History of the Moka Pot

The Moka pot was invented in 1933 by Italian engineer Alfonso Bialetti, who wanted to create a way to make quality espresso at home. Its simple design uses steam and pressure to brew a strong cup of coffee. The pot quickly became a favorite in Italy and remains a symbol of Italian coffee culture to this day.

Classic coffee preparation method:

You will need:

Moka pot
Water at a temperature of 95°C
Finely ground coffee.
A bowl of cold water

Method:

Place the paper filter in the holder and rinse it with water. Then place it on the Aeropress and place it on the mug.
Put the ground coffee into the Aeropress, then pour in 30 ml of water and mix thoroughly with the stirrer so that all the ground coffee is soaked.
After about 20 seconds, slowly add the rest of the water to a total of 250 ml . And stir gently.
Then insert the plunger and slowly push the drink into the cup using gentle pressure. Do not push all the way in, as this will cause the bitter foam to come out.
