Great question! It’s a recipe that’s certainly open for experimentation: a coarser grind works, depends upon the roast. We like our Italian-”style” american espresso only slightly lighter than caffe roasts. Finer grind equals more surface area for extraction. Can also depend upon brewing from ambient water temp vs. pre-heating the water so the brew time is only about a minute. Play with the roast, grind and you can dial in your pot to give exactly the cup you want. Mmm, now I’m thirsty.

Bialetti (the moka pot maker) says that we should use a coarser ground, not the extra-fine espresso ground. Why do you do the opposite?
Yeah not all pots …
Yeah not all pots are created equal…but water-to-coffee ratio and grind are the most important pieces for good extraction – fine grind, 6-7 g of coffee per oz of water – you’ll get pressure if the cap’s tight, just wait for the steam. The Burn flavor is more likely your roast…MP brewing tends to bring out the darker elements (w/fine grind) and if you start with an over-roasted espresso, you’re probably tasting that… experimenting with different roasts could help..

well i geuss its a matter of propper useage as well. i found that the water level in the bottom part had a huge effect on how it brewed. i tryed fine grind and coarser grinds, but either way i could never get it right. i think the holes in the filter areway to big in the one i got. they are about 3/32″. id like to see one that has the same size holes as a portafilter. also i think it probably very important to get the presure right. am i right? takeing it off the stove as soon as its flowing?

Moka Pots do take a little experimenting, sorry to hear you’re not a fan…but it can make good a brew (not to be confused with pulling an espresso shot). Getting it dialed is only one component though, you might consider trying different espressos
Maybe it’s our Italian roots, but we really like the Moka Pot it’s always been on the stove in our homes. Thanks for watching.

moka pots BURN the coffee!! there is no way that i know of to make “good” moka pot “espresso”! the only and best way to make espresso is in a prosumer home espresso machine. the right temperature, grind, dose, tamp, and pressure are a must!! DO NOT USE A MOKA POT!! EVER. unless you actural enjoy the flavor. but all im saying is your missing out on real espresso.
