Moka Pot Brew Guide
Stovetop recipe for strong, espresso-style coffee using a Moka Pot.
Moka Pot makes rich, espresso-style coffee on the stovetop. Use fine grind, medium heat. Scaled for 6-cup pot.
Recipe:
20-22g coffee (fine, slightly coarser than espresso), 345g water. Brew 3-6 min.
Grind coffee:
Fine (larger than espresso powder, finer than pour-over). Measure 20-22g.
Fill bottom:
Hot water to safety valve level (~345g). Insert funnel. No water in funnel.
Add coffee:
Fill funnel with grounds. Level flat, clean rim. Don't tamp.
Assemble:
Screw top tightly.
Heat:
Medium-low stovetop. Gas flame no bigger than base.
Brew:
Listen for gurgle/hiss. Remove from heat immediately when chamber fills.
Serve:
Pour carefully (use potholder). Drink black or with small milk.
Care:
Cool completely. Disassemble. Rinse parts with hot water only, no soap.
Season new pot: Brew 2-3 cycles before drinking.
Notes:
Start with hot water to reduce extraction time.
Low heat prevents bitterness.
Fine grind but not too fine (avoids clogging).
Adjust ratios and timing to match your coffee and taste.
