I have learned to preheat the water in the microwave before putting my 6 cupper on my gas stove. I'm able to use a lower heat setting, and all is done in around 4 minutes. The result is a slow steady flow (no spattering) and a nice layer of crema like foam on top. I learned about these things30+ years ago during my time working in Sicily. They were present in most kitchens. The Bialetti Moka Express is the best.
Why does the foam important? It doesn't make it taste any better nor make it look like you just got back from the coffee shop with an espresso. I doubt you learned to preheat the water thirty years ago. I bet you learned it here on RUclips.
@Bohdan M exactly. I did the pre heat method here on RUclips and it tasted bitter. I used cold water like I have been, set our stove (we use electric) on two or three dial and it came out less bitter. Might need to use more water. But at the time I was using espresso dark roast ground. I learned if you're using dark roast to use less water so it doesn't take long to boil and brew the coffee. Light and Medium you need more water so the water can extract more of the oils because they're light or medium roast.
@Bohdan M plus i doubt they had kennels back in the day. The bottom boiler is basically a kennel. It's easier too. Cold water, screw on. No need to use a towel or oven mitts.
Actually you can adjust the strength of your coffee this way: Higher temperature on the stove --> quicker extraction process --> less strong coffee lower temperature on the stove --> slower extraction process --> stronger coffee
dicky wijaya they use the same principle but in different strength. moka pot’s steaming only in 2-3 bar, maximum. Espresso machine produce steaming in at least 9 bar. the difference in temperature, speed, hence the strength of coffee extraction. it is way stronger than ordinary drew machine, but weaker than espresso. someway in between
@@dickywijaya9614 you will not get much crema from the moka pot. It's also arguable that the coffee is being extracted at 9 bar pressure as it is in an espresso machine.
Cool. I just inherited one from my Mom who passed away about 5 yrs ago. My b.in-law was cleaning during a house move and found it but doesn't drink Joe. What a gift and unique heirloom!
The Americans Amazon reviews for this are so funny... Years living with cheap drip coffee makers, they can't believe it is so easy to make a good coffee.
I started by making "cowboy coffee" on the stove recently. Which makes an electric coffee maker taste horrible. Then I saw one of these in a camp video and rushed out to buy one. I am very impressed with the 6 cup model that makes a perfect 8oz cup of coffee. I'm never going back.
Ha ha, so true, Clara! I'm one of those drip coffee Americans, and I'm having a wonderful time discovering that, as in the case of the Mokka pot, the simplest is quite often the best. ; )
TRDBucket Lol I agree, although now Bialetti makes an espresso version that supposedly increases the pressure and makes a decent cup. I’ve yet to try it, though.
Thanks for this! My parents used to have one back in the 80s, but they didn't have the rubber ring, or something else was missing. As a child, I always wanted to use the thing, but my mum kept saying it was soooo much work and very difficult. I just believed her, but this seems simple enough.I like that it's not a big machine on your counter. Looking back, my mum did this very often. This is also why we never could spray fake snow on the windows, it was sooooo difficult to get it off! Yeah, right. I'm not a kid anymore, I think at 35 years old it's time to make my own decisions, lol!
+Eleonore Bon the rubber gasket thing was missing on my parents one too and after some research i finally understood why the coffee that came out was just not good. I bought a new one and It's gonna be great
That's why I looked into one of these cause I thought this day and age everything was done by machine, and didn't really want another contraption on the counter; apart from hubby thinking that now that I work with a chef, that I'm going to be going crazy and buy all this stuff and not use half of it, of which I'm not Wish he could see me for who I am now, and not for who I was
Aloha 🌈 from Oahu. Used mine for the 1st time with the Dunkin Medium Roast and 3 liquid coffee mate liquid creamer. Taste so good. My Toyota HiAce extended high ceiling camper van arriving from Japan around Christmas. Looks like I’m going to get much use out of this Moka Express 🙂
Basicly Ok but there are varibles ie Type of coffee, "your" heat source, temp of water to start and if you want to use all the brew or leave the last. I experimented till I could produce just what I liked Mmm. All good fun. Nice Vid. Cheers from Australia...............off to the kitchen.
mine arrived yesterday and i have to say it really makes a tasty cup of coffee :D i bought the six cup version wich is good for 2 cups of coffee ( european standard). Im not a expert in making coffee at all, i just used to enjoy my senseo but now that i have the bialetti i think my senseo had his best time. The coffee is just really tasty. I bought 60% arabica and 40% robusta beans ( was the cheapest option, i did not want to buy super expensive coffee on my first try) with it so when it arrived i could start immidiatly so the first thing i did was fill it with water let it boil trowed it away then i grind some beans in my blender and filled it with coffee, i did not fill it completly because the first one you have to throw away but i took a sip anyway and it tasted good. But i throwed it away and made a new one and i did not fill it completly full with coffee because when i took a sip of the first one it just tasted good. So i went on with it and sipped my first cup of coffee from a bialetti and the taste is just great , and it was my first try ever. This morning same story , just a great tasting cup of coffee to start the day with. Excuse my bad english, just wanted to help some poeple out who think about buying one.
Thanks for watching. I also have the 4 cup model and I also have a senseo. For the senseo, I´ve used pads from the Netherland, which tastes pretty good. I still use the senseo for a quick & dirty coffee. But if I want the real deal, I use the Bialetti. BTW, I don´t like robusta so much, tastes kind of bitter, depends of personal preferences ;-) You´re from Europe? Where do you come from?
gadjector hey , thank you 2 for sharing this video with us ! Im from holland, jij ook neem ik aan vandaar de nederlandse pads : ) senseo is echt gemanipuleerde zooi maar wel makkelijk en ook best smakelijk als je niet echt een specialist bent op het gebied van koffie is het prima te drinken. Ik had me zak bonen gekocht bij kookwinkel.nl Oldenhof koffie bonen Silver 1kg (eigenmerk) Het was ook meer een test, ik dacht als de bialetti goed bevalt dan ga ik daarna wel over op de betere kwaliteit bonen. Maar het is echt een heel smakelijk kopje koffie dat eruit komt.
It should be very quiet, then you remove it from the heat immediately when you hear it gurgle. An Italian woman, Annalisa J, is the only one on RUclips who's video shows the 100% correct traditional Italian way to make moka pot coffee. Before I watched her video I got bad results from all the other incorrect videos, now my coffee is perfect. Search for her video.
Producing crema with a Moka is a myth... As far as I can recall crema is produced by pressure during the percolation; 9 BAR or something like that. That being said though, I can consistently produced a faux crema using freshly ground beans - however, it dissipates as soon as the coffee is poured into the cup :)
I don't what I like better, the demonstration or the music or both! I just purchased the 3 cup Bialetti, gonna be brewing up some" blue coffee" with this video!
That was close to the same amount of grounds I’d use for 5-6 cups of coffee for only one cup! Does this make for stronger coffee as far as caffeine content? Obviously it would taste stronger..
As it appears you are using a lot of coffee to produce a small cup, can the pot be refilled with water and use the same coffee grounds to make a second cup?
1, Hot water is best to add. 2, never pack, even lightly. 3, take off the flame much sooner than you did. 4, grind your beans Your way is not The european way.
Wrong. Bialetti instructions make perfect smooth coffee every time. You're supposed to start with cold water, or room temperature bottled water is fine too. For the correct traditional Italian way since 1933, watch Annalisa J moka pot video.
@@photina78 I used to use water straight from the tap, and the coffee was bitter. Now I use the boiled water method, that many people use, and I get smooth, non-acidic, non-bitter coffee from my moka pot. I've had the same pot for 25 years.
@@sigh_anna If you do it correctly, you'll get smooth non-acidic, non-bitter coffee with good cold or room temperature water, preferably filtered or bottled water. The boiling water is compensating for something else you're doing wrong.
Hi, I have a new moka express today. I have noticed it to be very silent when the coffee is coming out of the tube and I don't hear a hissing sound for it to get out of the stove. Is this normal for a Bialetti moka express? Is there something wrong with it? Thanks.
Hi, i see it's the model 3-cup of espresso. But in the end of the movie you use all from the moka to the cup. Is that very strong coffee like really 3xespresso or it taste like moderately strong coffee (something like one espresso with hot water- similar to the popular americano)? I like quite strong black coffee and don't know what can I choose (2cup or 3cup model)
they didn’t even tell you how high to put the water, also used the handle to tighten. As far as a “how to” this was a very weak video. Lastly, should be hot water not cold.
Put some hot water is preferable like that the coffee do not burn the time which the water warms and leave the hood opened during the preparation and you will have a coffee with an optimal taste, a good tasting!
I always thought that the lid should be kept open to stop condensation and you should stir once its finished to mix the strongest first coffee with the later weaker flavour.
I'm looking for advice on which size to buy - the 1, 3, or 6-cup pot. I drink coffee daily, but often share a pot with a friend or friends. If I purchased a 3 or 6-cup pot, can I easily make one cup just by scaling down the amount of grounds and water? Thanks in advance to all helpful tips!
No! You'll only get good results with medium-fine ground coffee, per Bialetti instructions. There are a few pre-ground espressos that work well in the moka pot, but most espressos are ground much to fine. Pre-ground espressos that work well in the moka pot are illy Classico Espresso, Lavazza Qualitá Rossa, and Lavazza Crema e Gusto. Other coffees that are ground especially for the moka pot are illy Classico Moka Ground, and illy Intenso Moka Ground, which have a little red moka pot icon on the bottom front label.
Hi, thanks for sharing this. I am thinking to buy one and the one I am thinking to buy is for 4 cups. Can i brew it just one cup per time or it does need to fill the water up to the limit of 4 cups?
Common mistake in using these is underfilling the cup thinking you can make uh ourself weaker coffee or save up... Those coffee makers are perfected down to gram of coffee and milliter of water, you don't press it and fill it up till there's a tiny heap and cup is full of coffee, only way to get good coffee our of it.
Hey my mom bought the same exact bialetti coffee maker about 2 days ago and it leaks all the time we tried different ways of tightening it and even exchange the original bialetti we bought for another to see if the first one was broken and it still leaks, any advice
The Bialetti is an Italian invention, Italians drink strong coffee and that's why they use smaller cups. In The Netherlands (where I'm from) and probably also in the U.S.A., people drink less strong coffee but in lager amounts. You could compare with liquor in small glasses and beer in bigger ones.
This video was so helpful! I don’t normally make myself coffee and I was at a loss on how to do it! Thanks for taking the time to make a straight forward video! 👌🏻
When should I put some whisky in my coffee, in the top of the Bialetti Moka Express before poring, in the cup or make it with pure whisky and heat that the whisky direct?
Hi just got one and am excited to use it, thanks for the tutorial, have one question, do I have to fill the funnel filter full with ground coffee always or Cani fill it half if I want to make one spot only?
I have got the 3 cup size bialetti. I only want to drink a small shot tho. Can i adjust the water + coffee to make less coffee, but still have a good taste?
I have learned to preheat the water in the microwave before putting my 6 cupper on my gas stove. I'm able to use a lower heat setting, and all is done in around 4 minutes. The result is a slow steady flow (no spattering) and a nice layer of crema like foam on top. I learned about these things30+ years ago during my time working in Sicily. They were present in most kitchens. The Bialetti Moka Express is the best.
Why does the foam important? It doesn't make it taste any better nor make it look like you just got back from the coffee shop with an espresso.

Hi Teban
I think, that is OK. But at the end of the process, the bialetti breathes stertorously,
"Tutorial to brew your coffee with the legendary Bialetti Moka Express 3-Cup-Model" - pours one cup of coffee.
Maybe he only wanted one
Three cup refers to three espresso cups - not large coffee cups.

Put some hot water is preferable like that the coffee do not burn the time which the water warms and leave the hood opened during the preparation and you will have a coffee with an optimal taste, a good tasting!
Thanks for that hint, Bardock!
Ik neem er meestal nog melk en suiker bij
And maybe some brandy on top😉
I always thought that the lid should be kept open to stop condensation and you should stir once its finished to mix the strongest first coffee with the later weaker flavour.
It's more safe with the lid closed. At the end, the coffee may spit around.
I mix my sugar inside the top because it's only me drinking it 🤣

Sure, when the mokka is finished, add milk, sugar or brandy ;-) as you like.

Hi, thanks for sharing this. I am thinking to buy one and the one I am thinking to buy is for 4 cups. Can i brew it just one cup per time or it does need to fill the water up to the limit of 4 cups?
Hard to tell. I would say, 50% minimun
Common mistake in using these is underfilling the cup thinking you can make uh ourself weaker coffee or save up... Those coffee makers are perfected down to gram of coffee and milliter of water, you don't press it and fill it up till there's a tiny heap and cup is full of coffee, only way to get good coffee our of it.
Oh man I mistakenly fill the water too much and covered the valve..
Would it destroy the pot? D:
+Altuz No, it's just a pressure relief valve for safety
No but this happened to me and it exploded covering the entire room in hot coffee luckily the kitchen was empty
Every video I've watched makes it differently. Stuff you all I'll make it however the hell I want
Qual è il caffè macinato, che marca?
2cup?
Yes, right!
Just found mine in storage from visiting family in Italy 24 years ago. Can't believe they still make them exactly the same.
Hi Chris. Cool story! Thanks for that! Perfect products don´t need to be changed ;-)
is this unbearable music really necessary ???
There is no crema at all 🤔 why not only buy turkish cezve is so much easier to clean and coffe taste awesome with a lots of creme
You won't get crema with the bialetti due to the pressure. If you want crema, you have to use something else.
I love mokapot
As I do👍🏻
I was wondering how it gets up to the top teapot.
You should avoid to press the coffee if you dont' want a taste of burn.
I just press lighly, so there´s no bad taste at all. Thanks for your hint!
Excellent video!! Thank you for the upload!!
Thank you!
Good choice for a coffee maker and music!
THX!
¡Cómo te amo cafetera Bialetti!. Espero algún día poder tener una nueva. :)
De la mía salían dos tazas medianas de café. ¡Qué ricooooooo!
What is the difference between Bialetti Moka Express and Bialetti Rainbow?
Just ordered one of these so excited thank u for the vid!
Youll love it..worth every cent..☕
Hey my mom bought the same exact bialetti coffee maker about 2 days ago and it leaks all the time we tried different ways of tightening it and even exchange the original bialetti we bought for another to see if the first one was broken and it still leaks, any advice
jordan lucien you’re probably not screwing the top bit all the way
Had 2 pots never had a leak
Rim has to be clean, rubber in good condition and clean, and screw in tightly.
Thank youuuuu :D
My pleasure!
Why its called 3-cup-model, but it make only 1 cup?
The Bialetti is an Italian invention, Italians drink strong coffee and that's why they use smaller cups. In The Netherlands (where I'm from) and probably also in the U.S.A., people drink less strong coffee but in lager amounts. You could compare with liquor in small glasses and beer in bigger ones.
Thank you! In Russia we prefer use large cups too. And Bialetti makes really strong coffe/
Supreme ?
Suprem?
Supre?
Is that 1 cup or 3 cup bialetti ? :o(
+visornet24 It´s the 3 cup model
This video was so helpful! I don’t normally make myself coffee and I was at a loss on how to do it! Thanks for taking the time to make a straight forward video! 👌🏻
Thank you
Straightforward one word.
@@Cypeq painintheass, one word.
That moka is too f.... clean!

Thanks. The stove is from s big swedish company :-D
Ciao, vorrei contattarti, puoi inviarmi un messaggio privato o fornire alcune informazioni di contatto?
Isn't aluminum toxic?
I don´t know. I´m still alive and healthy.
When should I put some whisky in my coffee, in the top of the Bialetti Moka Express before poring, in the cup or make it with pure whisky and heat that the whisky direct?
I think, you better add whisky later on.
How much of everything? Not much help here.
As shown in the video. Water up to the valve, coffee close to the top of the funnel!
Hi just got one and am excited to use it, thanks for the tutorial, have one question, do I have to fill the funnel filter full with ground coffee always or Cani fill it half if I want to make one spot only?
Hi Naresh, add as much coffee as you like
gadjector thanks for your help
Do we adjust water volumes according to the number off shouts we want to make?
@Bohdan M thank you for your help
I have got the 3 cup size bialetti. I only want to drink a small shot tho. Can i adjust the water + coffee to make less coffee, but still have a good taste?
No general rule for that, try it out.
i dont have the time to read all the comments, but is it safe to put the bialetti under running cold water after you have pour the coffee in the cup
I don't recomment that. It is too much tension to the aluminum
Running cold water to hot pot is not good because it will deform the metal. You can run warm water to help cool pot down faster.
