    *when using a NEW MOKA POT always make a couple of pots and toss them, this will prepare your moka pot (as the first pot or two will taste awful)*
    Spilling all the beans... I meant... the secrets, on how to make a perfect and delicious “espresso” at home with the classic Italian Moka Pot. Yes I know this is not the technical espresso you get at the bar from the high pressure machines. This is our home espresso, il nostro “caffettino”!
    From the bean, the grind, the water, the roast, the do's and the dont's, I am giving you all of the tips from Nonna and her always and consistently perfect espresso!
    And I am also answering all of your coffee questions!
    As always I will see you in the comments below to learn about all of your coffee rituals!

    Growing up in Long Island in the 1960s, our next door neighbors were from Italy, as a young kid I would go over to their house and they would always feed me (whether I was hungry or not, lol) I would sit on one their laps at the table and they would let me sip their coffee (expresso) before they drank it, they all drank it without cream or sugar, I must of been 6 or 7 when they gave me a whole cup to myself, I was so proud. They gave me my love for good food and drink, always to be shared and enjoyed with family and friends. They're long gone, but I still think of them.
    Thank you Annalisa for taking the time and effort to share the correct way of making Italian coffee, you're so right when you say ritual, aroma, memories and home, I think enjoying the simple pleasures in life is the secret to true happiness.

    Thank you for making this video. Both of my Grandparents have died, joining my Nonno and Nonna, and I find myself turning towards the things I remember that they loved, their traditions and they’re hobbies. I’m going to make and drink a cup of Italian coffee that they would have all enjoyed from the espresso set my Nonna gifted me and Italian cookies. All while sitting outside with the lovely fig tree my Grandparents gave me in my garden. When my Mom visits again, this’ll be what we can do together to remember the good times.

      Hello Larissa, how exciting!
      They also have many fun colors of the Bialetti! Like I wrote to Leslie when you first get your Moka, make a couple of pots with a cheap coffee as you will throw it away (the first 2 or 3 are just to prime the machine and don’t taste good), after that use the good stuff and enjoy!!

    Grazie mille Annalisa! We have a Moka but, when we have made the espresso in it, it was never quite what we know it to be when we enjoy it in Italy. This was a really good instructional video on how to do it right. We'll give it another try. There's nothing better than a hot, delicious espresso first thing in the morning. When we were in Rome on our last visit, we stayed in a lovely apartment right near a tiny little bar that served amazing espresso and cappuccino and wonderful cornetti. I could hardly wait for the sun to come up so we could enjoy our morning coffee. A presto! 😋❤️

      when you first get your Moka, make a couple of pots with a cheap coffee as you will throw it away (the first 2 or 3 are just to prime the machine and don’t taste good), after that use the good stuff and enjoy!

    Thanks to you Annalisa, I can once again enjoy my coffee - black or milky! After watching so many UA-cam videos on how to use the moka pot, I was almost on the point of throwing the pot away as I didn't see the point of pre-heating the water or running the pot under cold water etc to enjoy a good cup of coffee. I just wanted an easy way to make good coffee. I follow all the steps you mention except for two. I don't use filtered water, just use water from a carafe of tap water left at room temperature and I also use Lavazza organic coffee (for Amazonia). The results have been amazing!

So heartwarming!

    • @CocoB22
      @CocoB22 2 роки тому +3

      Turkish coffee or Armenian coffee as I prefer is very easy to make, you do need the irbik or jasveh. They are available on Amazon. You will need coffee as well the coffee mentioned in this video is good but you will need to grind it a bit more until it is almost powder consistency.
      To make the coffee fill the Demi-tasse cup to the top with room temperature bottled water and pour it in the jasveh add about a teaspoon of sugar to the water then with the same spoon a heaping teaspoon of coffee. Leave the coffee to float on the top of the water. Place the coffee on the heat. Medium heat is best. As the water heats up the coffee will start to mix and dissolve when it is completely incorporated into the water give the coffee a good stir from then bottom then let it finish. You will see the coffee climb the sides of the jasveh and gather towards the center. As it reaches the center it is done. Immediately remove from the heat. You can now pour. Each cup should have a layer of the coffee foam on the top, so with the teaspoon divide it between the the cups then gently pour the coffe to fill the cup. If there is coffee left in the pot that is okay- it is the jasveh’s portion.
      The coffee can be made black but traditionally it is sweetened, medium sweet is best.
      For multiple portions just increase the coffee water and sugar for was cup. Three coffees - three demitasse of water, three teaspoons sugar and three heaping teaspoons coffee.
      Lastly- never ever turn you back on the coffee while it is making- it will overflow and make a horrible mess. Enjoy what is arguably the best coffee in the world equal to the Moka.

    • @AnnalisaJ
      @AnnalisaJ  2 роки тому +1

      For Anna: if your Bialetti is brand new, Follow this tip as well; when you first get your Moka, make a couple of pots with a cheap coffee as you will throw it away (the first 2 or 3 are just to prime the machine and don’t taste good), after that use the good stuff and enjoy!
      For Coco: I am so going to try this! Sounds AMAZING!!!! 🙏🏻😘

I thought I would look into an affordable way to make it at home and found your video. I immediately purchased a Bialetti 3 cup, Illy Classico and made his favorite latté at home. He was thrilled with the result! It tasted so much better than at our local coffee shop! I also enjoyed the process of making it. I don't think we will be going to a coffee shop for a long time now.

    Thank you so much for this! I have another brand of this type of coffee maker, and I followed your instructions in real time- I got a perfect, strong cup of coffee (finally!) My grandfather used to spend a few hours every week making very super-strong coffee on his little machine. He called it "essencia", and he would fill up four cleaned ketchup bottles with it. When we wanted coffee, we would put some essencia into our cup and add hot water. I liked to make mine very strong. Now I can have that memory every time I make a cup. :)

    I find that lighter roasts truly have more flavors than darker roasts. You taste more of the coffee seeds' natural flavors and less of the roasted or burned flavors.
    I actually never enjoyed the flavor of coffee until I tried a medium light roast with floral, tea, and coffee like flavors. It was very sweet, fruit acidic and lighter than any coffee I had ever had before.
    Just a thought for anyone who doesn't enjoy the "standard" coffee flavor.

    I've had my mokapot for about a year; it makes a good little cup of coffee. I got a few tips from you that I will try. I will try filtered water, and stirring it in the pot before I serve it. Also I will stop washing it out with soap, and just use water. It didn't dawn on me that the patina of coffee might help the taste. I also will keep the lid closed; I had been doing it with the lid open so I could see how full it was. Thank you for your advice. I love coffee. I have been using Starbucks ground esspresso, but I will try the Italian brands you suggested.

    I love making a milky kind of coffee by making the Moka espresso, and then I heat an equal amount of milk in a small pan and then 'froth' it in a single serving french press, then the two are poured together into a straight sided cup from a height of about 6 inches. Yummy :)

I once ordered coffee in a restaurant in Israel and received a tepid, bland cup of coffee and when I asked what it was I was told "what you ordered, nescafe, coffee" Regular coffee is nescafe, you have to be specific, espresso or Arabic coffee...It's like Xerox or Kleenex, the brand name has become the generic name of the object... learned my lesson!
