I bought the 6 cup version. First, please know its not 6 -(8oz) cups. It’s more like 6 full shots. This size of pot will make just over a full measuring cup (8 -10oz) of coffee. Solid built. Not thin materials. I tried another brand that looked nearly the same but it did not perform as well and no matter how hard I tightened the pot onto the bottom water reservoir, it still sputtered and leaked water. I returned it and bought the Bialetti. It made wonderful espresso (I use illy dark roast ground Intenso). Some say to not press the ground coffee into the holder, but I did apply gentle pressure to mine - not hard tamping like you would with the more expensive espresso machines, just a gentle press. I found the espresso came out a bit richer tasting.
Because the rubber seal in the first Moka pot of another brand I bought did not seal well, I researched and learned that many people replace the original seal with a silicone seal of which I have provided a picture of with this review. I highly recommend purchasing and replacing the seal that comes with the Bialetti. Not that it was bad, but I didn’t want to take any chances with it and there was zero leaking or sputtering from the the sides of the moka pot with the new seal. Well worth it.
Though you don’t have to, I preheat my water in my water kettle then pour it into the moka pot not to exceed the level of the pressure valve inside the water reservoir.
Next, I fill to the brim the ground coffee holder gently pressing down on the coffee and then topping it off till its level with the edge. Make sure there is no coffee grounds on the rim because you want a tight seal.
Place the coffee grounds holder into the water reservoir taking care because the reservoir will be hot to touch. I use a dish rag to hold onto it while I screw the top carafe part on. Make sure its on tight.
Next, I place it on my burner, medium high temp. Make sure the handle part is not over the flame or heat and just put it at the edge of your cooktop burner. You don’t want it burning. It takes about 2 min or so for the carafe to fill. When its done you will hear sputtering sound. I will lift the lid just enough to see if any more coffee is coming out of the tube inside. Usually there isn’t and its done.
Remove from heat being careful to keep fingers on the black handle only as steam can escape at the lid hinge and let it sit for about 1 minute. Then pour and enjoy! Let the moka pot cool down before unscrewing it or just use a rag to hold it and unscrew it if you need another pot right away.
This pot made excellent espresso like I drank in Italy, Prague, and Budapest. I initially bought it to have a way to make coffee if I lost power…can use a Coleman camper stove or your gas ran stove top.
Its easy to clean, just rinse out with warm water and dry with a paper towel or rag. No soap!!! Some people don’t ever rinse theirs out but I found my espresso tasted better if I rinsed it all out with water only.
I hope this helps someone! Enjoy your coffee!

How to make a perfect italian coffee
|
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
Fill the boiler up to the lower level of the safety valve, without exceeding it and using fresh water, possibly low in limestone. |
Select a quality blend, suitable for the production of coffee for the Moka. Fill the filter generously, without pressing the coffee powder, forming a small gutter and avoiding dust escaping on the edges of the boiler. Close the coffee pot, screwing the collector firmly onto the boiler and place it on the stove. |
The flame must never envelop the coffee maker, but remain inside the bottom of the same, in order to allow extraction in adequate times and not too quickly. As soon as you start to hear the typical Moka gurgle, the coffee is ready and you will need to turn off the fire immediately. |
Never let excess coffee boil: this would burn it, compromising its success and making it too bitter. Enjoy hot coffee, as soon as it is ready, remembering to mix the contents of the collector: the coffee extracted at the end, in fact, is less full-bodied than that leaked at the beginning of boiling. |
