Blooming the grounds is a better flavor profile. But coffee is subjective. The only wrong information is you claiming what he is doing is incorrect. I make moka pots both ways. Traditional with no extra mods or using modified brewing (putting hot water in, blooming, adding an aero press paper filter on top). Both ways make different profiles and are both good.
@@revilo9792you do not use hot water if you are not in a hurry because you want the right extraction of waxes with warm coffee grounds to be more effective. You do not water the coffee grounds because pressure might get too high and break the moka, you do not exceed the water levels to be sure the pressure is the one the cookpot can handle. So basically this coffee is not only likely to damage the moka, but it probably could taste way better if done correctly
I don’t know. What you say is traditional but I have made moka pot coffee with a what you say and some of what the guy does in the video tastes way better, not burnt and bitter like the moka pot coffee I was used to. Although I didn’t bloom the coffee and likely won’t, using hot water somehow tastes better, you should try it and let me know what you think. Maybe it is placebo
I've been filling mine halfway up the valve, sometimes above...for decades! Never had a problem. Water above the valve will never prevent it from doing its job if need be. I never heard one of these ever failing or exploding.
Uh ok so first of all if you have coffee leaking down the side of your pot that means the seal is not tight enough which means the pressure isn't right which would explain why your coffee looks so watery at the end there
This is a joke right?, First of all the state of your Moka pot is disgustingly awful and should be cleaned NOW. Second do not pack it down its not a espresso machine its not making espressos its making Moka, Never let your pot just boil like that it will cause a horribly awful sour taste. And for the love of god show some respect its a Bialeti.
Your so butt hurt over some coffee 💀 alot of folks don't even wash their moka pot the soap fucks up the pot I still wash mine but alot of people don't wash them plus the older the better ik some folks payed good money just for some very old moka pots
I'm in favor of packing it. It might not be an espresso, but it's probably the closest method before actually using an espresso machine and considering the little time the water will be in touch with the coffe the little packing could help to retain the water a tiny bit more and extract more flavours. Don't be that hateful, there are a lot of influencers doing this kind of recipes with an almost new bialetti and I bet that's the first and only time they'll ever use it. And for the record, a bialetti it's only 16usd, its not like you're destroying the finest peace of Italian engineer.
You should have it open as if it is spraying you you’ve burnt the coffee grounds and over brewed it. Low to medium heat for maximum flavour and zero bitterness.
This is a crime!!!! I am Cuban and you did everything wrong except put it on the stove!!! It doesn’t even have frothy foam 🤬😤 reply to this comment if you want the correct way of making “CUBAN COFFEE” w/ ESPUMITA (FROTHY FOAM)✌🏾
🤦🏻♂️ To make a good Italian coffee with the Moka, you need to ensure the water level is at the safety valve's height. Fill the coffee funnel well (fine grind is suitable for electric espresso machines). If possible, grind it manually to a thickness similar to fine salt. Place the Moka on the smallest stove burner with the heat set to the minimum.
How was this not posted on April Fools Day? 1. Use cold/cool water 2. Dont press the coffee grounds 3. Dont add water above the safety valve 4. If it looks clear, its wrong. Do it again.
I'm glad you said similar to espresso, I bought my Moka pot when I was new to the coffee world because someone told me that it could make authentic espresso. I was disapointed when i found out that what i was making wasn't actually espresso
I've done a ton of research on this, and Moka pots DO make espresso... just not modern espresso. When it was invented as a stovetop espresso maker, the first Gaggia 9 bar espresso machine hadn't been created yet. After that 9 bar style became the standard, it left the moka pot in the dust with an antiquated definition of espresso.
@@borgertman The Moka pot is not an espresso. The clue is in the word itself, 'espresso'. The meaning is along the idea of the coffee being 'expressed out'. The first espresso machines were manual pull presses. The second essence of the name was 'express' in terms of speed in which the extraction is made. Moka pots need to boil the water to create the pressure to make the same water to pass through the grounds. An espresso is working on pressurised steam and moisture to pass through the grounds at much higher bars. The biggest aim of these was to speed up the brewing and serving of fresh coffee. The coffee brewing styles they were competing with took minutes longer.
I think you tried to adapt the pre-infusion idea from espresso making, and it has a point, since it works well with filter coffee. But so far I cannot agree on an improvment for my mokka. What did bring improvement was a clean pot, preheated water, open lid, flow riding. Good day, sir.
Your moka pot is not sealing properly. Should be getting a continuous, slow flow of coffee. That surge of boiling water means its losing pressure and you're not getting all the brew it should, plus it should burn the coffee.
This is BS. THE greatest coffee device ever invented is a jar that you cold brew it in, overnight. Tastes great, less acidic, barely any thought or labor required, easy to clean.
It's called blooming. Anyone who makes pour over coffee will know what that is, it's to release carbon dioxide present in the ground coffee. I've tried it and I think it does make the cup less acidic and taste a bit richer. It's not necessary but it's interesting. It makes my pot flow much more evenly when I do it. Technically none of this is "necessary", you could just make instant coffee couldn't you?
I appreciate you at least say "similar to espresso"... As no matter how one advertises it, if the pull isn't made at 6-8 bars of pressure and grind isn't exact, it's not true espresso
dark roast + coarse ground + drip method , 14g ground approx 250ml hot water. alot time saved and taste way better than moka pot. moka pot just generates too much heat and taste muddy
This is just terrible - James Hoffmann actually concluded after dozens of tests that blooming won't help. You don't 'boil away' either... Keep the heat as low as possible. Starting with boiling water has the opposite reason stated here.... It's not too hot burn your coffee... It's to avoid the first water hitting the grounds is too cold.
My brother in Christ, it looks like you simultaneously never wash your moka pot but also it looks like when you do, you throw it in the dishwasher. The pantina is fucked.
My friend sorry , i dont wann be rude but, YOU dont have any idea on how you make moka pot coffee. Here you have show moka pot- chemex coffee making. It is your invention.....

Okay guys so you're going to use very fine fine ground coffee, not too fine but pretty fine coffee. HAHA
I was like " So how fine?" 😂😂
Wouldn’t adding more water to the basket make the level go higher than the safety valve?
If it goes down the pipe into the water chamber then it will increase the water volume to above the safety valve.
The mocha pot can explode!
yup
I've been filling mine halfway up the valve, sometimes above...for decades! Never had a problem. Water above the valve will never prevent it from doing its job if need be. I never heard one of these ever failing or exploding.
@@goleylla he didn’t fill the main reservoir fully, looks like halfway…it won’t overflow
That looks watery tho
because pouring on the coffee before ruins the extraction later lmao

Instructions on my original Bialeti state:
-do not use very fine ground coffee, use medium grind for moka
-do not pack coffee into funnel
At this point, you might as well put the coffee grounds in your mouth and spit it into a cup.
😂
As an Italian I am offended, your moka pot looks like you wash it with dish soap, Dont wash with dish soap
I was thinking dishwasher 😬
Judging from the stain, he prolly uses a dishwasher, which is even more wrong than soap.
I was about to ask if there are any Italians in the crowd, but then I saw the comments ...
You should have it open as if it is spraying you you’ve burnt the coffee grounds and over brewed it. Low to medium heat for maximum flavour and zero bitterness.
The moka pot makes bitter coffee by default. It's how they like coffee in Italy.
😂 an italian house with "biscati"
No...
You’re going to have fine, fine coffee. Not too fine. Just fine. Clear as mud dude. 👌🏻

have gotten sick from drinking coffee out of that yet?
looks to me that this guy is trolling :D
or, he actually thinks he's doing right ...either way, this clip needs to be deemed offensive to Bialetti :-)
I like to slightly compact mine then add sugar on top makes the coffee more dense and adds a nice bold flavor without making too bitter.
Yup
thanks I'm actually going to try that on my next Brew

Mine just walked out her grave

I think you tried to adapt the pre-infusion idea from espresso making, and it has a point, since it works well with filter coffee. But so far I cannot agree on an improvment for my mokka. What did bring improvement was a clean pot, preheated water, open lid, flow riding. Good day, sir.

Awful, only need look at the result...
Your moka pot is not sealing properly. Should be getting a continuous, slow flow of coffee. That surge of boiling water means its losing pressure and you're not getting all the brew it should, plus it should burn the coffee.
