Product Information

All three require multiple steps by hand, while the Moka Pot can simply be filled with water and grounds, set on the stovetop, and left to do its thing.

What you use to create your coffee will have a huge impact on the taste profile that is created. Factors like the types of coffee beans, roast level, grind size, grind quality, and water quality will all impact the flavor and caffeine level that you experience when it’s time to take a sip. Moka pots use the terms “cups” or “tazza” for sizing, but these aren’t the same as standard recipe cup sizes or a typical cup of coffee. One moka pot cup equals approximately 60 ml or 2.1 fl. oz., similar to a double espresso. What is a tazza?

What’s the final verdict on choosing the right Moka pot? You really do need to go for the smallest size possible that will fit your needs to avoid running into over-extraction issues. That could mean simply getting a 3-cup pot to create single-serving coffee each morning or something like the Bialetti 6-cup Moka pot or Bialetti Moka express 12 cup for more. Choose your favourite ground coffee (recommended grinding level: suitable for a moka pot and not too fine!). Generously fill the filter with coffee – do not press it. What does the size of a Moka pot mean? It’s important to know that we aren’t talking about traditional “cup” measurements when it comes to the Moka pot. The number of “cups” your Moka pot can produce represents the number of 50-milliliter espresso-sized cups that can be produced. In addition, much of what the end product looks and tastes like is based on the way you control heat levels during the brewing process. French Press coffee is steeped by pouring heated water over coarse coffee grounds. Aeropress coffee uses pressure to force water through fine grounds, while Chemex is a pour-over method that takes knowledge of a specific technique. If you don’t have access to a measuring jug then the height and diameter of moka pots can help you determine which one you have.This brewer is indeed an investment, but it makes a lot of really delicious coffee at once. If you need to satisfy a group of sleepy friends regularly, then the price tag really isn't so bad, especially considering you will never need filters and it's highly durable. This is the kind of coffee maker that can last you a lifetime, though we'd recommend a stainless steel version instead of aluminum if that's your plan. Conclusion
