We are just running, roasting coffee, and creating things
I like this guide from this guy. Easily understandable, not feeling "know it all", laid back, encourages you to explore your ways beyond his. Pretty cool. Thank you for the insights, big help for someone here who's new into using moka pot
Thanks so much buddy! I truly appreciate the feedback! Comments like this make it all worth it! Truly appreciate you watching and enjoy your Moka Pot! It’s a fun device!
but . . . .
He leaves out important info though (I can think of 2 things off the top of my head) that you HAVE to do to not deal with the pretty explosive valve release activating and messing with your moka pot.
This is everything I want from a coffee brew guide
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! I truly appreciate that buddy!
he is doing some things wrong
It’s also great for coffee in the outdoors. I have them in all different sizes and use them every week multiple times. Great video🤙🏾
I haven’t tried it out doors yet. I need to make that happen soon… heck that could be a cool video… thanks so much for watching!
This guy is quite relatable.. I mean I like his friendly, easy going approach... the way he talks to the camera makes one to watch the entire video. Kudos to him!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I truly appreciate hearing that. I try to keep it fun and simple. Coffee should be fun and enjoyable. Thanks so much for watching and have a blessed 2022!
Going to get my daughter one of these for her birthday. She is the coffee connoisseur at my house. Great video, Rob.
Thanks so much Fred! I think she would like it. It’s a fun conversation piece too! Truly appreciate you watching buddy!
I dug this review. I’ve watched a lot. Yours sounds practical & sensible. I also don’t know why one wouldn’t just pour the coffee out immediately. I did read that starting with hot water reduces the chance of bitter coffee as you end up cooking it for less time. Looking forward to getting started once mine arrives. Thx for the video!
Thanks so much for watching Frank! I truly appreciate it. It’s a fun brewer once you get the hang of it. It does take a few tries to find the sweet spot as far as grind size and stuff goes. Hope you enjoy it!
You know what, I've seen it allot in others videos they just poured immmmmmmedatey. Don't understand it
@@iliyanivanov7337 Thanks for watching buddy!
Great video! I’m just getting in to “proper” coffee, don’t have the most sensitive palate and can’t always tell the difference between different brewing methods, but moka pot is hands down my favourite. I get a great rich taste from it and something about the brewing process itself feels much more satisfying than any other method!
Ya it definitely has that vintage feel to brewing. I like it on cold rainy mornings where I can take my time and have fun with it.
Thanks, brother. I used a dark, Vienna roast. I have been doing my own home roasting, so this was a robusta bean that I used. It came out strong! I will have to work on my grounds to water ratio. I added more hot water until I found the taste I liked. 😋
Ya adding water can def help get that taste where you want it! Hope you have been enjoying it!
I do mine almost exactly like you do except for that last bit. I try to prevent blow-by, which is when the coffee spews at the end of the boil. Preventing this controls for bitterness. I only want to taste the bean if possible. Good video.
Thanks so much my friend! Ya, I have recently started to pull it before that point. You are correct, it does cut that bitterness down more. Truly appreciate you watching buddy!
The 'blow-by' is actually called Strombolism or The Stromboli effect(after the volcano - make sense). To be avoided, as after that starts, the coffee is boiling in the top chamber and becomes bitter.
@@nessieg23 Thanks so much for the info! I truly appreciate that. Been experimenting around with this and it has a pretty big effect on the coffee.
I like the bitterness haha.
Yep, blow by is where most of that bitterness comes from. Ever time I stop it before that the bitterness is way lower.
Thank you so much for your quick and easy instructions on how to use Moka Pot. WOW! I just brewed my first one and worked a treat. I added sugar and créme. Yummy! I was secured as you mentioned that it could explode LOL. Love your sense of humour and presentation. Thanks a million.
No problem! Truly happy to hear you enjoyed it! Have fun with the Moka Pot!
Great video. Love the good ‘ole boy preppy guy vibe with the trucker hat and polo shirt. Good coffee is for everyone!
haha I love that description! Its like the guy that don't fit in anywhere so he just stands in the middle. haha Thanks so much for watching my friend. Truly appreciate it!
Thank you for you videos brother! I’m opening up a roastery & cafe in Japan this August. Your videos have been a great deal of helpful information, inspiration, and entertainment. Keep up the good work!
So cool to hear that man! Good luck with the venture and if I ever get a chance to visit Japan I would love to check it out! Thanks for watching buddy!
Videos like this make me excited about my coffee when I get a decent grinder
Heck ya! A decent grinder makes a world of difference. Kyle Rowsell has a good review on some great hand grinders if you haven't checked it out yet. Thanks so much for watching buddy!
This guy is so funny!! @ 3:42 "on a Saturday, just trying to stay alive" - hilarious - a great video by the way! Just love your casual nature.
Haha thanks so much for watching buddy. I try to keep it as fun as possible. Hope you enjoy the Moka pot!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee Absolutely!! Keep up the good work!
Will do my friend!
I've been looking at alot of reviews for a moka pot. This one is by far the most informative. A straight forward review with none of the hipster/barista pretentious bs! Liked, commented and subscribed!
Thanks so much buddy!! I truly appreciate you watching and glad it was helpful! I try to keep it fun as possible. Maybe one day I will be as hip as the hipsters! Haha
"Zen-out" ingenious and well said. Thanks.
Haha! Thanks my friend! Truly appreciate you watching!
I use regular coffee filters, cutting them to fit the basket size then wet the filter snd put on the bottom of the receiving chamber.
I also boil the water in the bottom chamber, then turn the heat all the way down so i can drop the basket in, the go back to medium heat after tightening the top. Turn the heat to low once the coffee first starts filling the chamber.
I also do not find it necessary to cool the lower chamber to stop the brewing. As long as you brew it slowly there wont be a strong gurgle at the end.
Had to have been the most entertaining video explanation I’ve seen. Thank you!
Haha thanks so much! I try to keep it light and fun as possible. Truly appreciate you watching my friend!
A moka pot is what I started with when I discovered specialty coffee. Good times.
Yes indeed! I know it’s pretty common in Europe but especially like where I live many people have never even heard of it. Thanks for watching buddy and looking forward to speaking with you soon!
I use a 6-cup Bialetti to make one mug of coffee and keep it as simple as possible. Just use the funnel to measure out the coffee, use an ancient grinder, then put the pot on the stove. Never had a bad coffee from it.
Heck ya! Keep it simple. That’s the way I look at it too. Thanks for watching my friend!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee One thing I forgot to add. I also use a heat diffuser because I have a gas cooktop. The diffuser keeps the coffee from getting scorched while brewing, helping to eliminate the bitter taste. Thank you for your reply. 👍
Love your style! “You gotta like it” that’s all there is! Too many people measuring and weighing and laying down the law… Italian way is soul and passion, not science and data! Relax, drink, like it!!
Yes!! Exactly! So many people get caught up in the data and that is fine but life and coffee is meant to be enjoyed! Thanks so much for watching!
What a fun and informative video! It truly is a fun little gadget, I look forward to my coffee every morning. Thank you :)
Thanks so much and thanks so much for watching! I just got a knew stainless steel one so I have been playing around with it. Just something about the Moka pot.
You are right!
Haha yes indeed! Thanks so much for watching buddy!
Just got one today! Currently seasoning it. This is the best coffee making guide I’ve seen. You rock dude!
Thanks so much! I truly appreciate hearing that! Hope you enjoy it and hit me up with any questions!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee more often than not, I don't get that smooth flowing brew. it spits out a bit. what's usually causing that? too much coffee in the filter?
I don’t think it would be to much coffee. It is most likely the heat. Adjust the temp down after a bit of time or right when you see it come out. It takes some experimenting to find the right amount of heat. I turn my heat down a bit towards the end to mitigate the pressure being so high. That will give a nice easy flow upward instead of spraying out. Don’t get discouraged if it takes a few times to find that sweet spot. Good luck!
Today was my first time making my coffee with a moka pot and you got me through it! Thank you!
Haha glad to hear my friend! It gets better over time. It’s a tough one to get right the first time. The coffee gets better too! Haha Thanks for watching my friend!
A Moka Pot is a staple in Cuban household. It's how Cuban coffee is made. I have a few of different sizes. You can go just past (higher) than the valve with water. Don't worry, it won't blow up. Been doing it that way most my life (30 years). I brew a couple batches just before going to work daily. Make it just before going to sleep too. Oh and the Bialetti brand is the best. Make sure it's made in Italy. Will last years even with daily use.
Hey Joey! Thanks so much for the advice buddy!! You must drink the heck out of some coffee. Do you live in Cuba? I can’t wait to visit one day once everything gets back to normal! Thanks so much for watching my friend!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee Hey Rob! Nah... I live in Los Angeles. I've been to Cuba a few times though to visit family. When it comes to coffee, it's just cultural. They say you know you're Cuban if you've been drinking coffee as a toddler. Go to Miami and you see little coffee windows here and there where you can buy coffee by the shot.
Oh cool! My wife is from LA. We visit every other year or so. I have heard that before about Cuba but I didn’t know if it was true about toddlers and coffee. I mean hey, you gotta start drinking it sometime! Lol that’s cool man. Ya, I know it opened up to the US here awhile back but I don’t know if that is still the case. If I ever catch a window I want to visit. Hope all has been well out there and stay safe brother!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee Oh by the way, the pot that I use in the mornings (well most the time I use it) is the 1 Cup Bialetti Moka Pot. It's big enough for 2 shots of coffee (about 2 oz each) in case you wanted to share, or one big shot. 2 teaspoons of sugar is enough for the 1 Cup. I brew a batch when I get up in the morning and one before going to work, because I like it hot and fresh. I have the 3 cup Bialetti for when there's visitors. Just keep the metal strainer clean and clear (holes get plugged up). Sometimes the rubber gasket needs replacing when they get old. My grandma has a 6 cup monster that she has used for years. She brews a batch, puts it in a thermos and pours a shot every now and then and repeats when the thermos is empty. The Cuban coffee brands I use are La Llave, sometimes Bustelo. Lavazza coffee has an interesting flavor. I believe Lavazza is an Italian brand (I could be wrong).
Ya I have spoken to few Cuban people who drink the Lavazza. It’s crazy how many Cubans have reached out over this post. I’ve had about 5 now and they all have similar stories to yours. Family, coffee, memories and grandmas seems to be the consensus. Haha I love it!
Great review! As for for underwear. Once a day at home. But when traveling, every four; front then rotate 180, inside out, rotate 180 one more time .
Nice strategy my friend! I may have to test that method out! Haha thanks so much for watching buddy! Truly appreciate it!
That's how it's done folks...great job. Enjoy!
Thanks Thomas! I truly appreciate you watching buddy!
i always associate moka pots with camping with my dad as a kid. this is how he always had his coffee when camping
What a great memory. My kids have been talking about going camping for the first time. I may have to start that tradition as well! I have never brewed it over a fire. Thanks for watching buddy!
Came back to post at 1:50 is my favourite part and always gets me chuckling. I have a 1cup and a 3cup. My 3cup holds 15g of coffee powder and around 130-140g of water. My little one is probably around 100g of water and g of coffee powder. I use the 3cup due to us Americans prefer more coffee. I like more because of taste. I know 1-12 cup Moka pots are based on Italy measurements.
It took me awhile to realize the “cup” was not the standard measurement but based on Italys espresso measurement. I think a lot of people still are confused by that and I wish I would have covered that in the video.
Yeah which is why it's not uncommon to dilute the coffee down with hot water to taste. I like to use a 3 cup moka pot and then fill up my thermos with hot water the rest of the way at about a 1:1 ratio and can sip on it all the way until lunchtime.
Love my coffee. Moka pot, dark roast (Peet’s) everyday.
I like your attitude towards coffee making cuz that’s ultimately what we are all here for and why we care about coffee in the first place..
on a side note: I think you technically shouldn’t put the aluminium ones (like yours) in the dish washer as they oxidise.. however, if the flavour doesn’t suck who am I to tell you what to do ;)
Haha! You are correct my friend. I found out the hard way. I truly appreciate you watching and thanks for the kind words! Cheers to better coffee and good attitudes!
@H C nope those don’t oxidize but it will likely make your first couple coffees taste a bit like soap/detergent
Good one Rob. Usually too much over thinking with Coffee. Thanks. Cheers from Australia.
Truly appreciate you watching my friend and thanks for the kind words! Hope all is going well over there!
Lol I absolutely enjoyed your video just bought mine two days ago you made it simple and to the point keep the videos coming you make it enjoyable to watch thanks again
I truly appreciate hearing that buddy! Makes it all worth while. Hope you enjoy your Moka pot and have a blessed 2022!
The level of energy you had talking about moka pot was super wholesome and funny, I loved it from beginning to end
People think I'm crazy of drinking coffee straight or having something with it
The season determines the absolute coffee snob and they will tweak according to preference indeed 😌😌😌😌😌
Again beautiful explanation and very awesome thank you for this and definitely going to try and wake up
Thanks for such a kind comment! I truly appreciate that! Hope all has been well and hope you have an amazing week! Enjoy your coffee!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee Yes I have, I use the cafe Bustello and tried it with ginger root powder and poured it over honey and it's amazing and beautiful 😌😌😌😌💕💕💕 Yes I'm enjoying every moment, it brings my power up to an 100 like it's amazing
Thanks I had one of these sitting around the house n I wanted to know how to make some Java in there
I don't really worry about it. Wack some fresh, fine ground coffee in there and put it on low. Wait for it to start making a noise and then pour it straight into the cup and down that bad boy. Great vid!
Haha my kind of coffee people! Yes indeed! Thanks so much for watching!
Just got one of these for Christmas, thanks for making this video!
No problem buddy! Truly hope you enjoy it. It is a fun device to brew on! Thanks for watching!
Nice step-by-step. Easy going. Sometimes i feel brewing coffee is like nuclear physics
Yeah. I love using mokapot.. easiest way for my coffee although sometimes i do enjoy single origins with pour over.
Single origin pour over all week for me. Weekends I like to change it up and experiment!
I always stir the coffee in the Moka before serving.
Rob you’re using a “4-6 cup” moka pot. If one uses the smaller “3 cup” pot, grind about 15 to 17grams of coffee. I put the sizes in quotes, cause the “cups” the Italians are talking about, are those tiny espresso demi-tasse.2oz cups.
Exactly. Took me awhile to figure out the cups where not actual American cups but espresso shots. Haha
Love this video. Simple and hilarious. Made my day.
Haha heck ya! Glad to hear that! Hope you enjoy the Moka pot and thanks so much for watching!
I love my moka pot I use esspresso ground coffee, I've timed mine on medium heat for 12 minutes with esspresso packed, I make a Cappuccino with mine.
Nice!! I need to start experimenting more with it. I have heard so many good ideas from people sharing. Thanks so much for watching!
Your welcome, I only know from watching RUclips videos, I'm still learning
Best Moka pot review ever.
Thanks so much! Really happy to hear that! I try to keep it as fun and strait forward as possible. Truly appreciate you watching!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee Shared it to Facebook, my friends loved you and your down to earth manner too. I'm trying to get them to level up to espresso. Moka is a good start!!
It is indeed! It is defiantly a good step into espresso. After using the Moka pot for awhile it developed my taste for straight espresso where I actually truly enjoy it plain now. Had one this weekend and it blew me away. Thanks so much for sharing!
This dude looks a really nice person. I still don’t have one of this mokat pot but I definitely will buy one. I’m curious to try this taste. I love coffee, specially using French press. Thanks for the video. Was indeed really helpful!!!
What a nice comment Fernando! The Moka pot is a fun device to use. It’s such a different taste than all the other brewers. Truly appreciate you watching and hit me up with any questions when you get one!
Just moved to Italy for a lil while and decided to try out a moka pot because “do like the Italians do.” I’m a fan of French pressed coffee, drip coffee, and I even had an espresso machine in the past.
I wish I watched this first before trying. Went with another vid that mentioned to use hot water first. Well I did and almost burned my hands trying to put the top on. Even had steam come out from the side because the gasket didn’t seal properly.
Next time I’ll use cold and see what happens.
haha ya you have to have some pot holders or heat resistant gloves. I have did some tests and the difference in taste is just not worth it to me. Hope you are enjoying your time in Italy. I am dying to go back. It has to be the most historically rich place I have ever been to. Walking the streets of Rome was mind blowing. I am a history nerd so it got me. Thanks for watching my friend!
I'm still having problems with mine ... Always splurting hahaha
But I'm on my 1st week of Moka Pot making so far I like the super bitter taste.
I love black coffee.
love your videos as always mate!
keep posting please! fun and informative!
Thanks so much buddy! Truly appreciate the feedback and hope you have been well! Always appreciate you watching!
As far as I know, there's no need to use soap on the Moka pot, just run it under warm water and use a soft sponge or even your finger.
I only used something else to clean it when I bought my Moka pot. It was second hand and I put some citric acid and water and "brew" it once, dumped the liquid, then I repeated, this time only with water.
Thinking back, it might not be a great idea to use any acid on the pot, but I wanted to give it a proper cleaning since someone else had used it before me.
I def figured out the hard way! Ya, putting it in the dishwasher is not good. Truly appreciate you watching my friend and thanks for the advice!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee what happened when you put it in the dishwasher?
The protective coating came off. After awhile it will tarnish.
Straight talk no nonsense quick n dirty n delicious mokapot.....excelent ! 😄👍👍👍
Thanks so much! Means a lot! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for watching!
Best moka pot tutorial I have yet seen. “How to make moka pot coffee like a MAN!”
Not with pre-heated water, or rinsing with cold water, measuring out precise metric measurements. Just make the dang coffee like a Man!
Women, nerds, hippy-dippy hipsters, and blue-haired They/Them type people need all that precision to make their perfect little prissy-sissy cup of coffee.
Just make the coffee! Sometimes it may not be quite as good as others, just deal with it and drink it anyway. Handle your business like a man.
I’ve been making moka pot coffee for the better part of two decades. This fella here shows you like it is, just make the coffee and enjoy it.
His moka coffee was foaming with toxic masculinity.
Good job dude. Great tutorial video of the moka pot.
Haha thanks so much for watching my friend! It ant quite as manly as that tasty looking barbecue you got but it is pretty damn close!
in essence "do whatever u like"
And like whatever you do! Thanks for watching buddy!
I heard that if you have a larger moka pot but dont fill its porta-potty full of potent coffee grinds to the rim (lets say 16g of coffee for a 6 pot/330ml) then it would make sense to use an aeropress filter to kind of equalize the pressure a little for a better brew. Ive been brewing coffee with the pour over method for years but decided i wanted to try something like a moka pot. I havent slept for 3 days straight so its safe to say that i still have a lot of learning and tweaking to do.
Haha ya the Moka pot will pack a punch for sure! It is one of those devices with such a unique flavor you almost have to tweak all the small variables until you find what you like. It seems everyone has a slightly different way they like their coffee from the Moka pot. Thanks so much for watching and good luck mastering it!
This was such an informative video but also hilarious lol
Haha! Thanks so much! Glad to hear you enjoyed it and thanks so much for watching!
This made my day haha, I love your humour! 😂😂
Thank you so much! I just checked you channel out and you have a great sense of humor too! You ever going to start back vlogging??
Using an aeropress filter is a good idea, it will create enough pressure to presumably create the crema.
Never thought of that! Thanks for sharing! I’m going to have to experiment with that soon. Truly appreciate you watching buddy!
You are not overthinking it. What is the point of cooling the moka first and THAN pour the coffee into the cup? You are right.
Exactly! Thanks so much for watching my friend!!
Great review. I love my moka pot. Plus 1 for rockin’ that classic Polo 👍🏽
Or ‘guide i should say
Haha thanks buddy! I truly appreciate that! And thanks for watching!
“I won’t judge you.” sounds the most judgmental. 😅
Are you judging my judgmentalness? Lol thanks for watching buddy!
Thanks for the info on using a moka pot. I’m using pour over right now, but I have been looking to try out different methods of brewing and I was curious about a moka pot. I’ve never seen one used.
Well I be durned! You may be a long lost cousin on great great great Jimmy’s side! Haha ya the Moka pot is unique and it honestly brews a unique flavor. Some people have a hard time distinguishing between the different brewing devices but the Moka pot provides a very unique taste. Hip me up with any questions cuz!
Thanks for the demo
No problem buddy! Truly hope you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Omg. I just found your channel. I love you and everything about it!!!!
"Change it like you change your underwear you know?... Depends on what kinda day you had."
😂🤣😂
Haha thanks so much for watching and truly happy you enjoyed it. I try to keep it fun as possible. And ya, some days can be worse than others so change accordingly! Haha have a great day and thanks again for checking out my channel!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee Thanks! You won me over to become a subscriber. :)
Well, welcome aboard! Truly appreciate it!
Hahaha I laughed my butt off at that. I was scrolling the comments to see if I was the only one. 🤣🤣
Thanks for making this video educational and entertaining at the same time. I watched a few before this and I was so bored I had a hard time watching it. You are a breath of fresh air! ❤️☕️
Thanks for this upload. It's a good guide to brewing this way and highly entertaining. You've got a new subscriber in me!
Well thank you so much!! I truly appreciate you watching and I am glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Dude I literally just got one today. Great timing!
Heck ya dude! It honestly may take some time to dial in and find a recipe you like but it’s just a classic and has a completely different taste than most brewers. Welcome to the Moka club and thanks for watching!!
This is encouraging to try or at least get into coffee cult. Moka pot I think is the easiest route.
Great tutorial! You should never put anything made of raw, un-coated aluminum in the dishwasher as the chemicals in automatic dishwasher detergent can “etch” the aluminum. What does the inside of the bottom of your moka pot look like? Hazy with dark spots? If so, it’s etched.
Thanks buddy. It doesn’t look bad on the inside. We use a very natural like soap so I don’t know how harsh it is. I haven’t done it sense it was brought to my attention though. I think the outside has a coating but after cleaning it up it doesn’t look like that was to bad affected. Def learned the hard way on this one! Haha thanks so much for watching buddy!
We use in our moka cafe le llave espresso so good with lots of suger 🥰🇨🇺☕
Ya I have heard of a few ways that put a good bit of sugar in it. If it is a darker roast I have to as well. Tones down the bitter dark flavors.
I use the filter trick too. It's a great way to make coffee.
Yes indeed! It def keeps some of the sediment down.
Fun video. but some pointers if its ok. Dont press th coffe down when it in the funell, just stroke over it with a knife. Coffe in the mokka pot will brew better if not pressed. About cleaning..when pot´s not warm anymore, wash it in your sink without detergent, only hot water is needed and dry with som paper or a kitchen towel. an extra tip is to buy a new rubber-ring from silicone, that makes the rubber smell go away. They are cheap. And dont wash in mashine...
Again, thanks for video, i enjoyed it! Happy Easter....
you're more right than 'most' people will admit ;-D
Haha thanks a buddy! Truly appreciate you watching!
New to Moka, just what I was looking for!
Welcome to the Moka club! Haha glad it was helpful and thanks so much for watching!
This is awesome! Thank you, very helpful!
Thanks buddy! Glad you found it helpful! Truly appreciate you checking it out and enjoy the Moka pot!
I use my mine the same way. I do it pretty slowly and as soon as it starts getting lighter I pour it out and enjoy.
I’m trying to get the richest, darkest brew I can.
Heck ya! It’s a fun brewer once you get the hang of it. Thanks so much for watching buddy!
Love this guy!
Well hell ya! I love you back my friend! Thanks so much for watching!
Love-I ain’t got time for that (cooling down process) I need to drink my coffee. Just got my moka pot and love it but still getting the timing down.
Yes indeed. Once you get a good routine down it gets more enjoyable. Thanks so much for watching!
A,very nice and detailed. 'How to do' . 🎯
Tha is so much! Glad you found it useful and thanks so much for watching!
Great video. Thanks Rob!
No problem buddy and thanks so much for watching! Truly appreciate it!
Just got this video recommend to me and after watching I happily subscribed to the channel! Also picked up that grinder as I had been look for a good quality one for espresso beans for my moka pot! Thanks for sharing.
No problem buddy! I truly appreciate you checking it out! I have really enjoyed the Timemore grinder and after looking at some double the price I just can’t see the value added in the Commandant unless I’m missing something! Haha Thanks so much for watching buddy and truly appreciate you subscribing!
you're very funny man...i like the way you explained your steps of making coffee using moka pot...
Thanks so much buddy! I truly appreciate the kind words!
The frequency of changing underwear has to do with how much coffee I drink. That’s just me you may be different! Just saying. Great video.
Haha, coffee runs through us all differently I assume! Thanks for watching buddy! Truly appreciate it!
To add to the good tips on the video: use filtered water and stir the coffee before pouring into a cup.
Thanks man! Love the video.
Glad to hear buddy!! Truly appreciate you checking it out!
How to chose the right size of moka pot? Is 2 cup size enough for one person or should I go for 3 cup size? What is the size of yours? Great video, thanks a lot! 😊🥰
Mine is the 6 cup. One thing to remember with the Moka pot is 1 cup is equal to about 1.5 ounces. The cups are not the US standard measurement. That confuses people sometimes.
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee sooo I guess 3 cups are something like 130ml ~4.5 ounces. Thanks a lot, and for a fast response as well! Have a great day! 🥰
Loved the video! Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽 ps... You remind me of Zac Efron LOL I mean it in the best way
Haha that’s a new one! I will take it though! Lol truly happy you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for watching!
Using an aeropress filter is both safe and bloody brilliant.
Haha thanks! Ya just have to cover that a**. I’ve never had any issues with it. Def keeps the sediment down some but some people like that. Thanks for watching buddy!
Be aware of the “Boom Boom”!!
Also, change your underwear!
I like your style brother, watched some hipster turkeys talking about the 'proper' way to make moka coffee. Ya dang right it is my coffee; I'm gunna make it how I want and drink it how I like. Keep on keep'n on man. Great tips, great video.
Some of us just want a good cup without all the pretension.
Call video, I am far from a coffee connoisseur but I rock this pot out but I just called up my Cuban coffee pot👍🏽 I did not know anything about a mocha pot👍
Ya it was invented in Italy around WWII. I know it is huge in the Cuban community and traditions from what some people have told me. So much so that they call it the Cuban coffee pot! Haha thanks so much for watching my friend!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee interesting....thx! I live in Florida and so of course there's a pretty huge Cuban population here and I just always thought they were cute,but espresso gets me hopped right up!😂
It hops me up as well. The dosage of the "moka cuban pot" is pretty high. I think that is another reason. I cup from it will last you all day. haha
Great video! Missed you, man.
Thanks Bruce!! Truly appreciate you checking it out!! Hope all has been well with ya!
Ok Rob I just got my coffee roaster in.
Heck ya!! Which one did you go with?
Thanks for the vid
This is good stuff right here.
haha thanks so much! Just watched your audition. You should definitely put out more videos if you have time with the piano and stuff. A niche like that could take off pretty quick on here. Thanks for checking out the video and have a great week!
Thanks so much! This is very encouraging and I plan to post more piano videos. Also thanks for the tips on the moka pot tips, I have made coffee primarily from my moka pot since watching your video, and I’m hooked!
So cool to hear! Have a blessed weekend my friend!
Definitely getting one now! This was the most authentic and entertaining coffee video I may have ever watched!
Is this your preferred brewing method??
Not my preferred during the week as it is time-consuming. But I do use it on the weekends. I don't know if could ever use just one brewing device now. Sometimes it is the V60 others the Aeropress. Love the Chemex and Kalita. Definitely enjoy the Moka pot on weekends though. Truly happy you enjoyed the video and hope you are having a great weekend!
How does the coffee taste compared to a conventional filter machine?
It’s completely different. It’s more bold and stronger tasting. The best way to explain it is the taste is between a French press and espresso shot. It is very different from filter brews. Thanks for watching my friend!
Do you put coffee grounds in sink or trash?
I dump mine in the trash. I do not have a garbage disposal or anything in the sink.
Remember to point the pressure valve away from you. If it should release you will get hit with really hot steam.
Good point! Thanks for watching buddy!
Thank you!!!
No problem at all! Truly hope it was helpful and thanks so much for watching!
Great video, thanks!
Thanks! Truly appreciate you checking it out!
Thanks for the reminder about filter paper on top of the coffee. I just cut circular shapes out of coffee paper filters.. Helps a lot if you use really finely ground coffee like turkish Mehmet Effendi (the only preground arabica coffee that tastes better than Lavazza). Or if you want to boost the amount of crema and you don't have the bialetti pot with the built in pressure-cooker type weight in the top. Also, after a friend of mine brought his bialetti to work to show me, and the cleaner put it in the dishwasher, it lost all the shine...
haha ya I realized that too after the dishwasher thing. Def something I do not do now. Truly appreciate you watching buddy and enjoy the Moka Pot!
