That sounds an awful lot like the blaming the user. Maybe it really is the slackware of coffee.

It's easy to blame the user when they don't bother to read the manual or follow basic instructions.

So it burns the coffee.

It does not. A regular percolator does, as it circulates the coffee back into the boiling water, unlike a moka pot, where the finished coffee does not sit at the bottom close to the heat, but in the top compartment. You should take it off the stove as soon as it’s done to avoid getting the finished coffee back to a boil or overextracting the coffee but if you do it right, they make really good coffee. There are even some versions that feature a valve, so the coffee is cooked at a higher pressure, getting it a little closer to espresso and producing a nice –albeit short lived – crema.

Hell, mine made crema on the first try. I probably over-pressed the coffee though.

I really like the mocha pot, but I'm a cappucino fan - if only there were a simple way to steam milk. I even have a Bellman, but it takes forever to build up pressure.

You shouldn't press the coffee in a moka. Leave it as fluffy as you can

Ye, I didn't know that when I first tried it. Oops!

Just a happy little accident

Tbh confused how you even managed to burn the coffe with this, as it is just evaporating water that filters through the coffee above - like did you put the coffee in the bottom part? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I haven't experienced this, but from what I hear if you start with cooler water in the bottom and have the heat set too high, you can overheat the pot and the grounds before the water comes to temp to actually brew.

The few times I've used my moka pot I've preheated the water in a kettle so it gets to brewing faster (based on coffee people recommendations online.)

This is the correct way to do it.

Boil the water first, pour it in the bottom, place coffee in section on top, screw on top part, heat till it brews out the too, then remove from heat as soon as it's done.

I use refrigerated filtered water in mine. Maybe I just don't set the heat too high though? I use a coil stovetop and put the knob around 7.5/10. Coffee takes 7-8 minutes after I turn it on.

I've used a moka pot nearly every day for 10 years, never burned my coffee with it. I'm not even sure how you'd do that unless you just completely ignore it when it's done and leave it on the stove forever.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I can't imagine how you burn coffee with a mocha pot.

Like, you'd have to go out of your way and intentionally try to burn coffee with it.
