Stovetop Espresso

The Moka Pot brews coffee by forcing water through coffee grounds under pressure. This creates a rich, espresso-like drink without an espresso machine.

RECOMMENDED GEAR

• Fine/espresso ground coffee.

• Water (filtered preferred).

• Rhino Bench Scale 2KG

• Bialetti Moka Pot 3-Cup

• Bialetti Moka Pot 6-Cup

• ACAIA Pearl Scale

PREP, POUR, ENJOY

1. Grind the coffee: fine, but not as fine as espresso grind. Or purchase Schibello Ground Coffee.
2. Fill the filter basket: add coffee, leveling it off without pressing.
3. Add water: fill the bottom chamber with water up to the safety valve.
4. Assemble and brew: attach the top part and place on medium heat.
5. Serve: once you hear a bubbling sound, remove from heat. Serve immediately.

BREWER’S TIPS

• Don’t pack the coffee too tightly.
• Use medium heat for best results.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE VIBES

The Moka Pot creates a rich, intense coffee with a slightly bitter edge, often topped with a creamy layer of foam. The taste is full-bodied, with a robust flavour that leans towards espresso but with a more homey, rustic vibe. It’s a strong, comforting cup that feels like a little Italian café moment.
