My Moka pot brew guide

Brew Guide Preheat water. Not too hot. Ideally a minute in a medium powered microwave. 💡 Preheating water will make the steaming process faster. This will make sure the coffee grounds are not spending too much time on the stove and reduces the probability of them getting burnt. The aluminum pot can get quite hot. Fill the chamber with coffee grounds. Fill it full and tap it on the side to spread the grounds evenly. DO NOT TAMP. 💡 Tamping will make it difficult for water to push through the grounds. As there is no machine pressure in Moka pot, the pressure comes from water getting to too high of a temperature which may burn the coffee grounds. Also, make sure the coffee grounds are consistent (no big blobs) so that water flows uniformly throughout. ...
