Moka Pot: Strong, Bold, and Stovetop Classic

Not all coffee is meant to be light.
The Moka pot is for those who want something deeper — a richer, more concentrated cup made on the stovetop. It uses pressure to extract bold flavor, delivering coffee with weight and presence.

What You’ll Need

• Moka pot
• Coffee (medium-fine grind)
• Kettle
• Scale (recommended)

Step-by-Step Brewing Guide

1. Choose Your Coffee

• Start with fresh, quality beans. If you’re not sure where to begin, explore our selection and find what fits your taste.
• For Moka pot, a medium-fine grind works best — finer than pour over, but not as fine as espresso.

2. Heat Your Water

• Heat water separately to about 85–95°C (185–203°F) before adding it to the base.
• Starting with hot water helps control extraction and prevents a burnt taste.

3. Fill the Base

• Pour the hot water into the bottom chamber of the Moka pot, filling it just below the safety valve.

4. Add Coffee

• Fill the filter basket with coffee grounds.
• Level it gently — do not tamp or press the coffee down.

5. Assemble the Pot

• Place the basket into the base and screw on the top chamber securely.

6. Brew

• Place the Moka pot on the stove over medium-low heat.
• As the water heats, pressure will slowly push it up through the coffee and into the top chamber.
• Keep the heat controlled — too high and the coffee will extract too quickly and taste harsh.

7. Watch the Flow

• You’ll hear a gentle bubbling sound as the coffee begins to rise.
• Once the flow becomes lighter in color and starts to sputter, remove the pot from heat immediately.

8. Serve

• Let it settle for a few seconds, then pour your coffee.
