The Mokapot
Mokapot coffee has often been referred to as "the Italian espresso" or "stovetop coffee" in some circles. It's a nifty way to brew coffee using steam.
Step 1:
Grind about 20-22 grams of coffee, about as finely as you would for a shot of espresso.
Step 2:
Boil water, and fill the bottom half of your Moka pot with water that’s freshly boiled.
Step 3:
Fill the pot’s filter basket with the ground coffee, and give it a shake to settle the grounds evenly. Now place it into the bottom compartment.
Step 4:
Screw on the Moka pot’s top and bottom halves.
Step 5:
Place the pot on a stove set to medium heat.
Step 6:
When the water in the bottom chamber approaches a boil, the pressure will push a stream of coffee slowly through the upper chamber. Adjust the flame accordingly so that the water does not rush upwards. You want a slow consistent flow of water.
Step 7:
Great job. Pour yourself a cup of coffee when all the water has gone through. You can hear a hissing or whistling sound to signal that all the water has been pushed through to the upper chamber.
