How to make coffee in a Moka Pot: 3 steps + a pro tip
Since you're here, how about we learn a little about the history of the Moka pot? This unique piece is a fixture in many homes around the world, especially in Italy, and continues to contribute enormously to the culture and history of coffee.
Who is Bialetti?
The legacy of Alfonso Bialetti, creator of the Moka pot, remains stronger than ever among new generations of baristas and coffee lovers. The story of this great entrepreneur began in 1919, when he opened a workshop for the production of semi-finished aluminum products. His constant transformation led him to the design and production of finished products, ready for the market. Thus, the Moka Express was launched in 1933, evolving the way we prepare coffee at home.
It is said that Bialetti's creation came at a good time, as it benefited from the economic growth in Italy in the following years. The name 'Moka' comes from the port city in Yemen (a country in the Middle East) that, in the early 18th century, was one of the most important coffee exporters to Europe.
The Moka Express has also earned its place in major design and industrial art museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, and the Science Museum in London.
As for the famous "Little Man with a Mustache" that catches our eye when we look at a Moka pot, let us tell you that yes, it is its founder, Alfonso Bialetti. This icon was created in 1950 by cartoonist Paul Campani as part of the company's advertising campaigns, and remains the official image of its products to this day.
Now that you know more about the Moka Express and its history, let's make coffee in 3 steps.
You should know that the Moka coffee maker has three parts:
1.- The lower part where the water is placed.
2.- The coffee basket.
3.- Coffee collecting chamber.
Preparation
1.- Add warm or room-temperature water to the bottom of the bottle up to the pressure valve. Remember, this will be our water level.
2.- Add your ground Huma coffee to the basket. As an important tip for this step, keep in mind that it's not necessary to press the coffee.
3.- Place your Moka pot on the stovetop. Wait a few minutes, and when you see the coffee begin to rise to the collection chamber, watch until you see a slight crema (like espresso) and turn off the heat. This is the signal that your coffee is ready. Enjoy!
Pro Tip: Leave the lid open while brewing coffee, this way you have better visibility when the coffee comes out and prevents it from burning.
Remember that you can order your ground coffee for Moka, we invite you to share your photos and your coffee-making style with our community on social media , use the HT #HumaCulture to see you in action.
