Thanks for your response Karl, we are actually touching on an interesting point and that is “expectation”. Send me a line and ill get back to you, thanks for continuing the dialogue. Hexagonal original design = alluminium model and not induction compatible. One simple rule i use is that the original branded bialetti brewers are built in this way.Ĭircular = new stainless steeel version and induction compatible. I have to apologize, I’m not quite understanding what you are getting at with the magnet and induction, can you clarify your question for me so I can answer it better. I really doubt you will “wreck” your pot as we all have to understand at some stage the moka pot will have 90 odd degree water in it anyways, so being careful about putting a boiled kettle of water in the pot seems over cautious to me and ive been doing this system for several years without issues. My experience with brewing like this means brewing with a better more consistent brew water temperature and the merits of that do not need to be rehashed here. The idea behind using hot water is that the temperature curve is much quicker to reach brewing temperatures, and hence your coffee is now not sitting in a cold environment for prolonged periods of time (cold water brewing).

I “get” not wanting to fill the pot with hot water as it may be dangerous, hot water potentially burning your skin whilst loading the pot, but I personally have never had an issue. I am in so much love with my brewer and im glad the love of stovetop is growing. When the coffee stops flowing into the upper part of the pot, remove from heat. Put the brewer on the stove using a medium heat. Screw the top onto the brewer and keep upright. Use a cloth to handle the brewer, as it will be hot. I use the base of my hand-mill to act as a tamper for pressing the ground coffee, a light press is more than sufficient to ensure that all grounds are extracted.If you have a round jar you can press the coffee down. Tap the side to ensure the basket is evenly dosed. The basket will be approximately half full. Consult the table above for accurate brewing ratios.Īdd ground coffee to the basket.Pour boiling water from the kettle into the Moka Pot base.

Note: Traditional brewing works on a much higher ratio of coffee to water, almost 13g/100ml.The flavours experienced are more akin to espresso, being intense and concentrated. This brew is much stronger, more like the strength of espresso brewed coffee, hence the name stovetop espresso. Tip: Add or subtract 1g of coffee (per 100ml of water) to adjust strength.Note: The specialty scale works on a standard ratio of 6g of coffee to 100ml of water.
