I hope you enjoy this technique, even if it is a little different to the other previous Ultimate Technique videos. Let me know how you …
What is the point of the lid if you should watch the coffee brew? Why not make a Moka pot without the lid?
Seems to resemble a percolator.
How to complicate simple things (e.g. making coffee, a coffe machine) which have been around and worked well for years.
Fantastic tutorial, really helpful to master the perfect brew. On other note, your voice is truly soothing. Would rewatch just for relaxation 🙂
thanks for this tried it out today with some local freshly roasted coffee beans. yea they ground it for me to the right size. pretty good better than a coffee I had at an actual store that over charged for a large coffee.
My coffee is really sour. I am putting boiling water into a cold base, full basket of pretty finely ground coffee. Takes 10mins to start coming out. I am using an electric hob on 5 of 9. Coffee doesn’t really look as dark as I would expect it to.
what size is this moka pot?
Omg! This technique worked wonders!!! Thank you soooo much! Coffee out of my moka pot has never tasted this good!
Thanks James for yet another clear explanation. I would be interested to know if some of these techniques could be applied to the Atomic coffee maker.
hey james! first of all thanks for all your awesome videos. you've inspired me now to try a moka pot brew (coming from a french press heritage :)). i'm curious to know if there's much difference between different moka pots and quality of the brew? say bialetti vs your average amazon generic moka pot? thanks!
Marcella Hazan in one of her cookbooks on Italian cuisine described this temperature surfing method in the late 70s or early 80s
Can you get moka pots that are not made from aluminium? Aluminium cook wear can cause stomach problems (I may be wrong about this however…)
I want to make a South Indian coffee, but not sure which is best one to brew. It seems the moka pot is near enough. I don’t know about French press. As this concoction is added to boiling full fat milk and sugar, which coffee brand is better. Anyone has suggestions?
There is a fill line in the pot a bit below the valve on the opposite side.
Hi what size settings you are using on Niche for moka pot?
Beware cooling the boiler. Running water on the outside of the boiler will condense steam vapour in the boiler vapour space back into water, which must create a vacuum. If your puck is too compacted, you may find your coffee filter having been sucked into the boiler.
bought my moka po last week, and it took me around 10 times to get the best end product. Patience is key. Especially James's advice to boil slowly takes time as you need to experiment at what level of heating the brew goes slow enough without stalling
Everyone has their own coffee. This is what I love ☕
Fala bem demais fi
What size would you reccomend me to buy if Im making coffe just for myself?
Great video thank you. I tried to use the open lid method with my Bialetta but was surprised when the brew first appeared it squirted out of both sides of the upright tube and down the outside of the pot onto the stove! Also I've always thoroughly cleaned each part of the pot after each brew do you think this is necessary? Chris
Where's that sweater from? 🙂
How do you keep the pot so clean???
Very useful. Was taught to remove the pot after I hear sputtering. You prove them wrong. Test showed your advice is better.
Totally awesome video. Thanks for making this.
This seems like a remarkable amount of effort for a drink. I think I will stick with my Nescafe Gold Blend Instant. Interesting video never the less.
i highly recommend a stainless steel pot rather than aluminum, because in fact the coffee reacts with the aluminum. When a stainless steel pot becomes unbearably grungy, it can be made like new using a boiling hot solution of Oxyclean (or of sodium peroxide, its active ingredient). To do this, first you boil water in a large pot, and bring it over to your sink, they you add in Oxyclean and immerse the expresso pot in the solution as it foams up over the edge of the larger containing pot. The result will surprise you! (this cleaning procedure can also be used for stainless steel/steel flatware and cookware.)
Coffee percolators. Yes……No?
Why?……I love them, we use one on the yacht all the time. Very energy efficient and can brew a large volume very well.
10:49 Oooh look at that cute little 1-cup baby…
I can say that I almost tried everything that you said to make it better in flavor. I am distrustful and tend to avoid to heat aluminum pans, but heating up water prior to, also lowering the heat tend to function pretty decent in these pots. I myself prefer to use Steel pot ones, maybe not same looks but much flavorful coffee. For me tastes like a longer espresso, a long -lungo – one, enough to satisfies my friends and my own espresso cravings. Regards from Baja Calif Mexico I love your show.
Where did you get the sweater from??? 🤔
I found an original Moka Pot at a Goodwill thrift store for $5, and of course could not pass it up. It's one of the mid sized units, holds a little over 300 grams of water at the water line. I knew practically nothing about using the Moka Pot, so I turned to this channel for guidance.
First try was a resounding success! I used an Aeropress filter, wetted to keep it in place, and used a gas burner on very low heat and put in under a stream of cold water as soon as the angry sputtering started. (the heat was so low that the sputtering wasn't really angry). No unpleasantness at all in the cup, and I'm hypersensitive to unpleasant tastes in coffee. A very lovely, long lasting aftertaste.
Thank you James!
I find if you just dump enough brown sugar in the coffee it makes up for it haha il give this a try and see what it's about, but I stick coffee mate brown sugar and milk in my morning cup in alarming quantities so I think the core flavour of the coffee bean is lost anyways
Tried your suggestions and I am happy to say they helped tremendously! Coffee from the Moka pot is definitely better now. Thank you!
🤦🏻♀️ No wonder my coffee was tasting like a burnt sneaker 👟 thank you 😊 I’m going to practice and get it right. ❤️ You have the best gadgets that grinder is nice. Thank you 😊
Hi James ,I have a small Bialetti Elettrika which I use when travelling for work and having no access to stoves. How would you recommend to use this one?
