No way!! What a gem. To think how far you are now as a content creator.. yet some things haven’t changed, and that’s great 😊. I wonder how come a vid of yours from 9 years ago popped on my page🤷🏼♂️, but what a treat.
I've been watching your videos for a long time, and this one is still my favorite (this was the first video I watched on your channel). THIS, to me, is the most genuine demonstration of your sprezzatura! Simple, no nonsense, authentic, and without effort. I would love to see you make a new video referencing this one and you making coffee again!
Indeed a highlight, no polish, dim light, whats the coffee brand again?, quite Italian when he mentions the ..alternative .. use of a Coffee-Press .. The only thing is, these are mugs not coffee cups (meaning very big), and there’s lots of coffee in there (which means much more bitterness than chocolatey nutty taste..)..
I bought one on Amazon immediately after watching this video last week. I love it! Although, I do recommend that one watch it closely, as I tend to get distracted, and I have left it on the burner too long as a result. But when you remove it at the right time, the coffee is amazing!
I think this is the video that led me to you. I found a Bialetti from 1983 in a thrift store, sometime in 2013 or 2014. I started with Cafe Cubano, but was trying to get away from all the sugar that takes, so was looking for moka pot tips to make more Italian style coffee. Watches were a happy coincidence that kept me around. Funny that youtube decided to recommend it today.
It's late November 2019 London, Canada Water recovering from flu at home and watching this...The enthusiasm of this guy in everything he does is just admiring...Good work sir...
Damn I been watching TGV for a few months now and he's such a nice bloke (feels like a friend of mine) but this dude from 3 years ago, just came out of prison and was using lol
I don't know why and how. But I started watching some of your videos about watches and the way you explain things it's just amazing. Before buying the Sea-Gull (skeleton model) I watched a video you posted some time ago so I bought it straightway. Then in another video you talked about the Accutron watch, the way you described it was so true, so I bought also that one. Now I am watching you making coffee with the same Moka Bialetti I am using here in Tokyo every morning and I don't know, feels like we have many things in common even if I don't know you. Actually I am from Italy but living in Japan so this coffee costs me some money but it's totally worth it! Anyway, I just wanted to say you are great! Wish you the best with your channel :-)
I used to take 3 doubles a day, with milk and without sugar, now I lowered the dose to only one, I was affecting the shekel of sleep. I have two Bialetti coffee machines, the oldest of 4 cups, this one is already very battered, and a new one of 2, is a little beauty.
Hey TGV. I know this is an older video but I hope you see this comment! I’m flying out to Italy tomorrow night for the first time. I’m looking forward to trying the food and coffee and immediately thought of this video! I’ve been meaning to try this coffee and look forward to buying the Moka Mocha Express when visiting. Thanks for all you do my friend.
First time I ever had real, gourmet coffee was back in '85 when I was young Marine. It was in Naples, Italy and I'm an addict to good coffee like this to this day. I'm gonna order one of these soon. I've been using a french press for over 5 years now, but this looks better!
Dear TGV, i accidentally clicked on the “oldest” tab and saw this gem 😂 love your channel and to be quite honest you are such a big inspiration for me (watches,life, personal style etc) i hope you are doing well Love and Respect, Tim B.
I just realized a mistake I had been making when using my Moka, I was not turning off the heat as soon as I hear the water boiling up through the filter. Thanks!!
I been watching TGV for years , I don’t know why but I’ve gone back to the start and damn I forgot his first video was a how to on coffee. Anyway your uploads are some of the very best watch related content on RUclips , thanks for all your hard work.
TGV is great, isn't he? After watching a bunch of his other videos, here he os suddenly talking about coffee. TGV is truly a very interesting and multi-faceted individual.
Great film - I drink Lavazza Rosso from a stove top coffee pot (not a Bialetti sadly) every day and it’s the highlight of my morning! I’ve tried other coffees (Illy especially), but I always go back to Lavazza - some coffee snobs hate it, but it works for me.
when I'm making coffee on electric glass-ceramic stove in my two cup Bialetti I set it for maximum power, start chronograph, in 3 minutes exactly I lower the power to 3-4 out of 10 and let the water push through coffee slowly.
You won me over with this one, and remembered me of a fun experience I had years ago, when I tried to explain "the moka" to my host family, while I was a student in Edinburgh. I'm from Italy (mom from Monza, dad from Florence) and recently became an avid follower of your channel. I'm a passionate watch lover (even if I don't consider myself a collector, I own just a few good pieces), but I love your overall style and the way you manage to cover cultural topics, watches and other gear pointing out pros and cons, historic details and heritage, and framing it all elegantly but without falling in haughtiness. You are a proper all-round gentleman, attached to roots and traditions, which is a rare asset these days, yet open-minded. You are very inspiring. I was thinking about starting my own channel, definitely with a different name (I still don't know if It'd better to speak English or Italian) and thought it'd be fun to browse back to your first videos for some inspiration. I'd really appreciate to know a bit more about how you decided to get this started, and maybe some advice. Best regards for now, hope to hear back from you soon Michele
Thank you so much Michele! Very faltered and honoured by your kind words. So glad to read your comment and that you subscribed. As for starting your channel, go for it! There is no reason why you cant speak both. I might have to do a video on getting started on youtube, great idea. Best regards, TGV
Oh man....I'm Italian, and it's so amazing to watch you preparing a moka! I discovered your channel no long ago, and looking for older videos of you this one popped up in front of my eyes and I just enjoyed every minute of it! Sei molto più bravo a fare video adesso, ma quello che trasmetti alle persone è sempre simpatia e autenticità. Great job man👌
2019 here...Fun watching how much you've evolved both technically and your camera presence. Tips on the Moka pot: fill to just under the overpressure valve and you may want to pull the pot off the heat before it goes full steam. If you're in NYC, the Brooklyn Roasting Company Mocha Java makes incredible espresso.
Early 2009 I stopped smoking cigarettes and cut my drinking down to only friday, and Saturday (3 to 4 special beers). I didn't have a lot of money to spend because I lived on Dutch welfare for a short while (I had a depression) But I bought one of those machines.. and made the best breakfast for myself each day and watched a lot of very good movies which where very cheap because of the 2008 crisis. I especially remembered picking up a box of Dardenne brothers movies., they are very raw, real, and even more depressing than I felt myself, and it helped me a lot. I preferred Illy though, 2nd choice Lavazza. Cheers.
Say TGV what if you remake this video with your now-self? 😁. I'd love to see this being presented by the TGV I know today. Anyway, quality content!! 👍👍👍
Hello Tristano, I'm sicilian at home we do coffee a little more "ristretto" "short" we fill the machine of water just under the valve! The one you've made we call "acqua i purpu" the water were you boil the suqid! Another thing we do we stir the cofee with a spoon in the machine before pour it in the little mug, because on the upper layer you have the fat of the coffee the "cremina" and you have to stir it, or only the first cup gets it! Thank you so much for your videos! Ciao
Ha, brilliant. Watching this in Nov 2020 and visiting a coffee shop these days is a bit limited. Perfect for checking I am actually making my coffee correctly. ;)
Quit whining. This video is about good coffee. And BTW how cheerful is your face before you've had coffee in the morning? The man is doing a great job.
Thought I would find TGV’s earliest vid that I could. Wow very interesting. I love my Bialetti so this is great to see...and I love seeing how the presentation and content has matured. Love your work. Bravissimo e Gracie.
I did not pay attention to date at start of viewing . Love the coffee primer , just the dour somber demeanor threw me , until I caught date. He is such a pro now, genteel , polite and intelligent humor
For anyone uk based, Poundland used to sell a similar Lavazza in the red pack for £1. Worth checking your local store, mine doesn't always have it, but when they do I stock up
Hey man just wanted to let you know first as I respect you as a watch guy and have been watching you for many years now and support your channel, I bought my first “luxury” watch well to me luxury to my personal finances, I bought a Tudor black bay master chronometer red bezel black gold dial with a jubilee-esx bracelet which I love, keep up with the videos they are great, be safe, stay healthy, live long and prosper !
it's a cute video. 2 tips; (1) it's a safety-escape valve (it doesn't release pressure unless pressure can't escape via ground coffee and keeps building) and (2) in general use you fill it to just below the safety-escape valve
I just tried your recipe and I have to say I am impressed, this is by far the best coffee I've ever tasted. Thank you for making this video! Why didn't I watch this 4 years ago? :)
I like watching Italians make Moka pot coffee the authentic traditional way! Thank you! There are only a few videos like this on RUclips. Most are by non-Italians who teach the wrong way to do it. I learned from watching the "Annalisa J Moka pot" video. I make Lavazza Classic Espresso in my 2 cup Bialetti every morning. ☕
I really enjoyed this video, you've gotten me interested in a moka pot again. I've always wanted a Neapolitan flip pot, too, so I think I will grab one of those as well.
1)Bustelo is a Puerto Rico company. A variant of Cuban espresso . 2) Since you are in NYC try this... Sello Rojo (True Colombian brand) through a french press. It'll knock your socks off over the Lavazza.. Try it. You will adore it..
Will Lavazza be introducing the Mountbatten blend soon? TUG - I was surprised when my query on "Best beans for super automatic machines" had this video as the next up after the one I listened to. My Mom did it this way and it is good. You remind me of Cary Grant... Always Dapper. I love your sense of style and appreciate your good taste in all things watches, your appreciation for history and your sense of humor. When watching your videos I am often thinking of 2 books; "Dressing the Man: Mastering the Art of Permanent Fashion" and "A Man & His Watch: Iconic Watches and Stories from the Men Who Wore Them ". Thank you for your work.
Nice! the best part of making coffee this fancy way is that its the exact same way I make it when camping and hunting here in the Canadian wilderness over an open fire using a military brewing system. Pretty much the exact same set up you have there brother just doesn't look as pretty as yours.
After the news today (5/29/20) about the future of the channel I had to come back and revisit the very first video. You've come a long way TGV !! Onwards and upwards Governor !!
"crema e gusto" my favorite Lavazza! Lavazza great coffee. My second in line is Kimbo coffee always Italian coffee. Bialetti is the best for sure! "E se non e' lavazza, che piacere e''" from a famous Italian commercial!
You should do an updated video on this! Would like to know if you have changed anything on your regiment. Coffee changes its quality every now and then
God, TGV you look like you just got out of a hunger strike, the difference between you today, and in this video is huge, you pass a message of a much more fulfilled person today, Congrats for it ,i know how hard can it be sometimes. Cheers from Brazil!
don't wait too long when the coffee starts "gurgling out"; remove from heat immediately! Also don't tap it much before screwing in the top of the Bialletti. Otherwise this covers the basic process.
This is the best coffee video I have ever seen. There are so many really good tips. The first time I viewed, I had to have a cup of coffee. (at 2 am) So I made myself a double and stayed up all night researching the items you recommended. I can't wait to get them all together and finally smell that aroma. And the Agave sounds like the sugar substitute I've been hoping for. This was a very personal TGV. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
good to see something down to earth from TGV. just go's to show, anyone can have a bit of luxury in their life. living well , It's a mindset. if anyone knows of a luxury instant worth checking out id be interested as i can never be arsed with this rigmarol at home, and actually. quite like instant. i think its underrated! thanks for vid.
Hi TGV. I watched one of your watch episodes (the one you reviewed the Oris Aquis) and I will comment on it later as well, and got me interested in your channel. I subscribed to your channel and started watching your videos years back. Watched this video about Bialetti Moka Express. I assume you have Italian roots and that explains also your passion in coffee making and loving the Italian coffee. I bought myself one of this coffee maker, and Lavazza Espresso Gran Crema the whole beans, I like to grind it and love the smell. Once I made with this coffee maker, the aroma was the best. Thank you for the recommendation, definitely worth every drop.
haha i remember this :D life has changed in many ways since im getting old hahaha and im also a lavazza user but have to say passalaqua harem is my favorite
I follow you several months now so i thought, just out of curiosity, to check how this started once - and wow it was amazing to see your first Video :-) Btw: I use this kind of making coffee too and i´ve been tought by my italian mate how i create the "crema" in my Espresso just by using sugar and the first drops of coffee that runs out of the top of the can. Continua cosi!!
Incredible video, your attitude and respect.. Lavazza and Bialetti have just saved a fortune and made millions at the same time. Actually I might buy it tomorrow, during my lunch brake. One friend, who used to live in Italy, taught me, you should have this glass of water to your espresso. What do you think about that?
Hey TGV. Great video, ok. Been watching for about 6 months now, ok. What a huge change in your presentation, ok. Looking forward to watching more, ok. Cheers
Yes, this coffee video is a strong case for George Jetson's smellevision. All of your videos are fun to watch, but this one kept me on the edge of my seat. I waited for the big punch line where you pull a gun and shoot the camera. I loved it like I love a Hitchcock film, you do command a camera well. Take care, Joe.
I bulk buy Lavazza Rosa on sale. One package works out to about 8 CENTS per cup of coffee, lol and it's far, far better than most everything from chains.
Interesting look at a moka stove top device, don't think I'd replace my gaggia classic with one, but they are very authentic. Also, I thought the correct order for coffee drinking in Italy was latte or milk heavy espresso variants pre 11am and espresso shots later in the day? Even though I can't have caffeine anymore I haven't let affect my coffee snobbery, I just buy Swiss water decaf beans to grind.
"Andrei d'accordo con Cosa Nostra Pisano, TGV!" I'm expecting the Lavazza today and I hope the Agave works out. Finally, I get to smell & taste Italy's favorite. The Vancave should be more tolerable now with hot fresh brewed espresso to keep me from freezing at night. Thanks for the 411, G!
After your email the other day, I decided to go back in time and check your previous videos. This one is especially fun for me TGV. Enjoy your morning coffee... can I suggest you switch to whole beans and grind them fresh every morning.... you will not be disappointed. :) Regards, Dapper Shawn.
Put the coffee in the fridge. Fridge not freezer. You will preserve it. Open the top while the coffee is on the heat. It will come up faster. Best regards from Italy
I love my Bialetti Moka 6-cup! I brew a full pot every morning and pour it into a stainless steel "Bubba" brand bottle. It has a lifting lid to drink from, but for some reason they call it a bottle. It stays hot for hours, because six espressos is a bit much and I just like to sip it throughout the morning. I've been considering the stainless model, but I hear the filter holes are larger and allow more grounds through. Also it's made in India... and I'd rather have one made in Italy, especially since they're still charging "Made in Italy" prices. What do you think of the stainless one? I was looking at the Bialetti "Kitty" 6-cup, if it makes any difference.

Same here!! I love this video :::)))))))
This video is timeless! With this video i started watching TGV
Indeed a highlight, no polish, dim light, whats the coffee brand again?, quite Italian when he mentions the ..alternative .. use of a Coffee-Press ..
The only thing is, these are mugs not coffee cups (meaning very big), and there’s lots of coffee in there (which means much more bitterness than chocolatey nutty taste..)..
I bought one on Amazon immediately after watching this video last week. I love it! Although, I do recommend that one watch it closely, as I tend to get distracted, and I have left it on the burner too long as a result. But when you remove it at the right time, the coffee is amazing!

it's a cute video. 2 tips; (1) it's a safety-escape valve (it doesn't release pressure unless pressure can't escape via ground coffee and keeps building) and (2) in general use you fill it to just below the safety-escape valve
I 100% agree. I choose this over the chain coffee shop brands every time.
I'm a coffee snob, but when I'm in a bind, Lavazza always does the business...and I can get it easily which is critical these days!

You should do an updated video on this! Would like to know if you have changed anything on your regiment. Coffee changes its quality every now and then
What a start mate!! Great channel
I just saved 5 dollars times 365 days. Thats 1825USD a year saved from watching this video!
Fill it with the water to the bottom of the safety valve. Thank you Tristiano. You got me hooked on this Bialetti moca espresso maker.
God, TGV you look like you just got out of a hunger strike, the difference between you today, and in this video is huge, you pass a message of a much more fulfilled person today, Congrats for it ,i know how hard can it be sometimes. Cheers from Brazil!
After binge watching James Hoffman’s Moka Pot videos, it’s time for TGV’s take on the Moka Pot.
don't wait too long when the coffee starts "gurgling out"; remove from heat immediately! Also don't tap it much before screwing in the top of the Bialletti. Otherwise this covers the basic process.
This is the best coffee video I have ever seen. There are so many really good tips. The first time I viewed, I had to have a cup of coffee. (at 2 am) So I made myself a double and stayed up all night researching the items you recommended. I can't wait to get them all together and finally smell that aroma. And the Agave sounds like the sugar substitute I've been hoping for.
This was a very personal TGV. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Someone needs to work on their impulse control, lol.
good to see something down to earth from TGV. just go's to show, anyone can have a bit of luxury in their life. living well , It's a mindset. if anyone knows of a luxury instant worth checking out id be interested as i can never be arsed with this rigmarol at home, and actually. quite like instant. i think its underrated! thanks for vid.
I tried that brand of coffee but not the maker, very good.
I agree with you TGV, it's the little things that makes life worth living.
Just like everyday starts with a coffee, the legend of TGV on youtube all started with a coffee too
Nice to see your beginnings, sir.
Just rewatched this. Good memories :)
Good point about using soap, news you can use.
Instead of sugar I put 1 teaspoon of Nutella in my cappuccino and it's delicious
Like this guy.looks like willem Defoe and sounds like Davvy jones
Hi TGV. I watched one of your watch episodes (the one you reviewed the Oris Aquis) and I will comment on it later as well, and got me interested in your channel. I subscribed to your channel and started watching your videos years back. Watched this video about Bialetti Moka Express. I assume you have Italian roots and that explains also your passion in coffee making and loving the Italian coffee. I bought myself one of this coffee maker, and Lavazza Espresso Gran Crema the whole beans, I like to grind it and love the smell. Once I made with this coffee maker, the aroma was the best. Thank you for the recommendation, definitely worth every drop.
A popular alternative to agave would be a teaspoon of Sambuca. Kinda like Irish coffee but for those of us who are Italian 😉 Salute !
It’s crazy to see how much your channel has grown, this feels like ages ago even tho it really wasn’t.
Crazy how much better of a speaker you are in front of the camera! Much better at getting off track😂
thanks tgv, watches and coffee are a nice combination
Great video!
I still like this video. It's a classic. Like? I LOVE it because it is THE way to make coffee.
haha i remember this :D life has changed in many ways since im getting old hahaha and im also a lavazza user but have to say passalaqua harem is my favorite
Yes the first! Delivery this Saturday
I follow you several months now so i thought, just out of curiosity, to check how this started once - and wow it was amazing to see your first Video :-) Btw: I use this kind of making coffee too and i´ve been tought by my italian mate how i create the "crema" in my Espresso just by using sugar and the first drops of coffee that runs out of the top of the can. Continua cosi!!
Great video !! Big fan off you new films, so I’ve gone back to the beginning 😃
Watchin' this on May 26th 2019 lol...
Incredible video, your attitude and respect.. Lavazza and Bialetti have just saved a fortune and made millions at the same time. Actually I might buy it tomorrow, during my lunch brake. One friend, who used to live in Italy, taught me, you should have this glass of water to your espresso. What do you think about that?
Hey TGV. Great video, ok. Been watching for about 6 months now, ok. What a huge change in your presentation, ok. Looking forward to watching more, ok. Cheers
Lol this is awesome TGV! You can tell you need that cup of espresso to perk up in the morning
Where did your older videos go?
Thx.
You look better, healthier, more content and balanced in your recent videos.
That is a good development. ;-)
First time seeing this video TGV and it’s inspired me to get a Moka Pot ☕️
Yes, this coffee video is a strong case for George Jetson's smellevision. All of your videos are fun to watch, but this one kept me on the edge of my seat. I waited for the big punch line where you pull a gun and shoot the camera. I loved it like I love a Hitchcock film, you do command a camera well. Take care, Joe.
in italian it's actually called a caffetteria, a macchinetta is an espresso machine
I bulk buy Lavazza Rosa on sale. One package works out to about 8 CENTS per cup of coffee, lol and it's far, far better than most everything from chains.
Agave is worth investigating. No prewarming , grind etc.
Interesting look at a moka stove top device, don't think I'd replace my gaggia classic with one, but they are very authentic. Also, I thought the correct order for coffee drinking in Italy was latte or milk heavy espresso variants pre 11am and espresso shots later in the day? Even though I can't have caffeine anymore I haven't let affect my coffee snobbery, I just buy Swiss water decaf beans to grind.
I use the dolce gosto nespresso machine with reusable capsule and a variety of coffee from all over the world!
"Andrei d'accordo con Cosa Nostra Pisano, TGV!" I'm expecting the Lavazza today and I hope the Agave works out. Finally, I get to smell & taste Italy's favorite. The Vancave should be more tolerable now with hot fresh brewed espresso to keep me from freezing at night. Thanks for the 411, G!
After your email the other day, I decided to go back in time and check your previous videos. This one is especially fun for me TGV.
Enjoy your morning coffee... can I suggest you switch to whole beans and grind them fresh every morning.... you will not be disappointed. :)
Regards,
Dapper Shawn.
Nice watch. Is it a Seiko?
Put the coffee in the fridge. Fridge not freezer. You will preserve it.
Open the top while the coffee is on the heat. It will come up faster.
Best regards from Italy
I love my Bialetti Moka 6-cup! I brew a full pot every morning and pour it into a stainless steel "Bubba" brand bottle. It has a lifting lid to drink from, but for some reason they call it a bottle. It stays hot for hours, because six espressos is a bit much and I just like to sip it throughout the morning.
I've been considering the stainless model, but I hear the filter holes are larger and allow more grounds through. Also it's made in India... and I'd rather have one made in Italy, especially since they're still charging "Made in Italy" prices. What do you think of the stainless one? I was looking at the Bialetti "Kitty" 6-cup, if it makes any difference.
Thank you Tristano for a good, instructive, video on how to make your self better coffee! :-)
Tristano what was your very first video on TUG? Would be so cool to upload it to RUclips 👍
Awesome vid. Thanks 🙏🏻
