- Freshly roasted coffee beans
- Burr grinder
- Stove or heat source

Step-by-Step Guide to Moka Pot Coffee
Step 1: Grind Your Coffee
Grind your coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency, similar to granulated sugar. This ensures proper extraction in the Moka pot.
Step 2: Add Water to the Bottom Chamber
Fill the bottom chamber of your Moka pot with water, just below the safety valve. Use filtered water for the best results.
Step 3: Add Coffee Grounds
Place the coffee grounds in the filter basket, leveling them off without pressing them down.
Step 4: Brew the Coffee
Assemble the Moka pot and place it on medium heat. The water will boil and force steam through the coffee grounds, creating a rich brew.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once the coffee has filled the upper chamber, remove the Moka pot from the heat and serve immediately.
Moka Pot Brewing Tips:
- Use Medium-Fine Grounds: This ensures proper extraction without over-extracting the coffee.
- Don’t Let It Boil Too Fast: Keep the heat medium to avoid burning the coffee.
