Caffè Moka
Ingredients
- Ground coffee (medium-fine grind)
- Water
Description
Moka coffee, named after the iconic Moka pot invented in Italy in 1933, is a rich and strong brew made on a stovetop. This method uses pressurized steam to force water through coffee grounds, resulting in a bold and aromatic cup, often described as a cross between espresso and drip coffee.
Fun Fact
The Moka pot was invented by Alfonso Bialetti, and its design has remained largely unchanged since its debut, becoming a symbol of Italian coffee culture.
Preparation Recipe
- Medium-fine ground coffee
- Water (enough to fill the bottom chamber of the Moka pot)
Preparation Techniques
- Use freshly ground coffee for the best flavor.
- Avoid over-packing or tamping the coffee grounds in the filter basket to ensure proper brewing.
- Heat over medium flame to prevent scorching and maintain even pressure.
- Serve immediately after brewing to enjoy the full flavor and aroma.
