BREWING METHOD
Moka Pot
Specifications
Description
The Moka Pot is a classic stovetop coffee brewer that produces a rich-bodied and intense cup of coffee. While it offers a flavour profile similar to espresso, it operates at a lower pressure. Its compact design and ease of use make it ideal for those who enjoy bold and full-flavoured coffee.
Grind Size
Fine – slightly coarser than espresso grind
Dose
Fill the filter basket completely without tamping (typically 15–20 g of coffee for a 3-cup Moka Pot)
Water Temperature
Pre-heated water at 90–92°C
Brew Time
3-5 minutes
Tip
Using pre-heated water shortens the brewing time and helps prevent over-extraction, resulting in a smoother and more balanced cup of coffee.

Brewing Steps
Step 1
Fill the bottom chamber with hot water up to just below the safety valve.
Step 2
Fill the filter basket with finely ground coffee without tamping and level the surface.
Step 3
Securely screw the upper and lower chambers together.
Step 4
Place the Moka Pot over medium heat.
Step 5
Reduce the heat slightly once the coffee begins flowing into the upper chamber.
Step 6
Remove the Moka Pot from the heat as soon as you hear a gurgling sound to avoid over-extraction.
Step 7
Serve immediately for the best flavour and aroma.
