How to make an Italian coffee

[Iblis92]

Another important thing is the moka: a shitty moka pot will make a shitty coffee. Anyway: do your coffe as you want: follow your taste, not you tube or other people "how to"s.

[Iblis92]

I think the coffee brand is impostant, but not essential though. For example, even if i use a discount quality coffee, i still get a great and aromatic coffee. My rules are:

1: fill the lower part till the safety valve;

2: a lot of coffee in the filter (i like my coffee very dense);

3: high flame at start, low flame when coffee come out;

4: turn off the flame when half of the pot is filled with coffee and serve hot;

5: most important: use a low capacity moka as possible (1 cup/3 cup max)

[MrQfuarti]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO

[kmain0]

I have a moka pot, and filling it to the top I've found is a waste of the espesso mix... I usually use one tablespoon and it comes out great...

[WeaselGregor]

Such a douche that guy.

[bellenoelle]

Love it, v cute. Cheers, now I can prep for my coffee granita with confidence. :]

[MaremmaSheepdog]

cos'è sta merda...

tazzina bollente, miscela lavazza qualità rossa, e macchina napoletana accesa 24 ore su 24 quella caffettiera è munnezz!

[tir1066]

The bialetti is a fantastic little coffee maker, I've had one for year and swear by it and recommend it to anyone I know when the subject of coffee comes up.

[Headbngr666]

i own four of these coffee makers and a frech press, coffee is much better freshly ground, don't buy already ground coffee.

[innconprensible]

thank you, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[ksas3ood]

idiots!

[BboyFlimsy]

So is this the same thing as a percolator? It looks like it, but with all the brewing types out there, just wondering if this is any different and if so, how?

[Headbngr666]

@BboyFlimsy a percolator keeps the brew in contact with the coffee in constant boiling temps, this coffee maker runs the water through the coffee just once and keeps the brew and the grains separate afterwards.

[viewsonic11able]

what about suger

[tsenenko]

idiots!

[Idekii]

Two things to note here. First, the water shouldn't go up past the valve in the bottom of the moka pot. This is probably pretty obvious, but it bears mentioning.

Second, you can grind your own coffee for a moka pot - if you do, grind it to about the coarseness of drip coffee; it should in any case be coarser than for an espresso machine. Theoretically you could just use cheap Folgier's coffee or something like that (although why would you ever do such a thing?).

[jamesjonesrocket]

is this in fast forward, or is this take 33 and you have both drunk too much coffee?

[nutritiousacne99]

I can't live a day with my cup of coffee! I got some good blend tips at coffeeloverstipsandtricks (.) com

[Animalkisser]

Mmm... there´s nothing like spresso coffee!!!!!!!!

[nytmstr]

We add one more step in my Italian house we take the first little bit of coffee that comes up and add it to sugar mix it to make a liquidy paste tehn put the pot back on and when the coffee is done we add the remaining coffee to the "past" mix and serve. We still do this in Italy to this day!

[zero13250]

the man sucks

[kotanidi]

what name is of coffe? is espreso?

sorry to bad enclish :(

[myappletree2008]

Thank you alot for a great video, i just bought the moka pot tonight and cant wait to make one in the morning. by the way just wonder which ground coffee brand is good for making italian espresso???

[DieserBenuterIstCool]

Hey, this is the same kind of coffee which we make in Greece, Turkey, Serbia, Albania, Armenia, Arab lands and so forth! I bet that if Americans begin to make it, they will call it then "American" coffee...or in Canada, "Canadian" coffee!

[saricaIT]

@DieserBenuterIstCool sorry but for what I see on youtube is not the same as "italian" coffee. In the moka the coffee powder doesn't mix with the actual coffee. only vapor pass through the powder. On youtube I found only video of water mixed directly with powder for the greek and turkish coffee.

[stuka310]

great instructional video, thank you guys you are so nice =D

[Visceroid001]

haha great video!

[ChocolatePoop1301]

This is awesome! I can't wait to try!

[erttgf874]

Other things to look out for, shade grown coffee (which is usually organic and fairtrade as well). Shade grown coffee has an earthier flavour than estate grown coffee. You can really tell the difference between the two. Estate grown coffee usually comes from Brazil and is grown out in the sun on plantations. Shade grown coffee takes much longer to ripen usually grown on forest floors in central America or southeast Asia.

[erttgf874]

There is no 'best brand' of coffee. If you want good coffee, make sure it roasted, blended, ground (if buying ground), and packed in your country. Do not buy any of those brick packs that have been imported from Italy, by the time they get to you, they are stale. Make sure the brick pack or beans you ar buying have been roasted, blended and packed in your own country from imported raw coffee beans. Better still, in your own city. The fresher the better.

[Deisinoful]

What do they mean exactly by "Italian coffee"?

[Helliland]

@Deisinoful they mean the REAL coffe...the italian one which people usually call "espresso". the sturbucks' one has nothing to deal with the real italian "espresso".

[Deisinoful]

@Helliland sorry, but to make an expresso you don't want to use a moka pot, by definition. Anyway what I referred to with my question can be read at 0:14. As far as I know we Italians don't crop coffee and import the one we drink from abroad.

[Helliland]

@Deisinoful errore mio...di solito quando ci si riferisce al caffe italiano si intende l'espresso,e quello della moca è molto simile ecco perchè lo scritto. per la storia dell'importazione hai ragione, ma il caffe come bevanda viene spesso attribuita all'italia.

[Deisinoful]

@Helliland la comunità di youtube sta scadendo. Una volta si rispondeva ai commenti solo per dare torto agli altri e ragione a sé stessi. Adesso si riconoscono gli errori. Mah, dove andremo a finire... :-)

[Brasstacks11]

Danesi Gold is from Rome's oldest coffee roaster.This coffee is so smooth that you can really taste that hearty earth flavor.I cannot drink any other brand now,unless it is urgent!

[Brasstacks11]

When I travel, I now bring my mini stove top with me.I cannot stand weak coffee.I have noticed,that most espressos are bitter. It took me some time to find the correct coffee which is smooth and excellent.Better than any other espresso coffee.

[iocomunicatrice]

Bravi!

[HelennFromNizhni]

Very nice video and very nice positive way to show how to make a coffee. I love both:coffee and Italy.

[mnbvcxm]

Sì ma cos è questa musica country?? Ah! ah! ah!

[gavlar67]

Excellent! Making it this way can sometimes make the coffee bitter because the steam gets trapped. I have attached my short video response to show how i do it.

[Grievas123]

Expensive don't means good :)

I told you, vergnano or lavazza :D

[shelbyfahrer]

Some say Segafredo, some say Lavazza, some say illy, some say even something else. I am confused now.

[Grievas123]

I'm italian, this video doesn't explain anything about making a good coffee.

First of all: the coffee brand (illy) is a shit. Is better a "Vergnano" or a "Lavazza qualità rossa"

2: how many water?? You must fill until the valve

3: How much coffee?? You must put the coffee in the moka without pressing it, just make a sort of pyramid.

4: the fire.. is essential. Use a low fire or you'll burn it!

5: When you heard the coffee going up turn off the fire and let it finish by himself

[madnassos]

You 're right, but still is a cool-happy video! xD

[maydom04]

This video is for REAL BEGINNERS, so I wouldn't be too harsh on them...why is ILLY shit? ...I never tried it but it is expensive...about $ 50 a kilo !!!

[YtzikTV]

@Grievas123 I agree Illy is not the best, but it is not shit either. I very much prefer to ground my own coffee beams and I think that's the optimal way for serious coffee lovers. If I have to choose a commercial brand, I'd go for a Hausbrandt

[rasoulsharif]

@Grievas123 your comment was what i was looking for.

i really appreciate it.

[proswampert]

Expresso rocks!

[AnaL3ticia]

i bought that moka and some lavazza coffee...

its so strong!

[morningdarling]

Great! Just come back from Lisbon where I drank nothing but the finest coffee, loved the video!

[edrocky]

Silly!

[zensorship]

first invite a friend of the same gender.

In Palermo, Sicilia a woman could be stoned if she would invite a man for coffee LOL

I watched the "Godfather" movies.

[Jabbawack]

Yeah, for sure...you haven't been to Italy lately, I guess...

[zensorship]

I read that in an old book.

[yedrahc]

Thank you for the video, can you believe I didnt know how to use that thing, even tough I see my parent make coffe all the time. LooL 1rst coffe, Ohh god... Hope I dont get tummy revolution. xD

[supporttruth]

tummy revolution lol

[vantage789]

the key to this whole thing is what heat level to put the burner at, and it doesn't even tell u that.. shit video.

[meteoramarc]

It's very basic, but that doesn't make it shit. It's probably for people who just want a taste of Italian coffee but not anything further.

[piralteqnix]

You shouldn't feed that guy espresso, he's already hyperactive enough as is. : P

But ty for the video, I just bought one, and I couldn't find the English instructions.. lol

[GamsIzVeZir]

what is beautiful italian coffee?

i ve heard Arican coffee and South American coffee but first time i hear italian coffee?

Does coffee grow in Italy as well?

[Savateboy]

ENJOY LIFE

[Hewson60]

When do you take it off the burner: when it begins to rise to the top or when it begins to bubble?

Does every coffee work or only espresso? Is mocha (like "illy Moka") the best coffee for it?

[mahabang]

Take it off about 5 seconds as soon as it bubbles. Don't keep it anymore because you will get burnt espresso. The extraction continues after you take it off the flame. Sumatra and Hawaiian Blue Kona is delicious.

[Hewson60]

Thank you! :-)

[goodfella1422]

Well Done, thank you!

[wxb200]

great instructional video!

[geent1]

Great video/kinda Comedy but great

[AntonioTavanti]

a casa mia si mescola anche col cucchiaino prima di versarlo (sempre nella moka)

[abeasoyr]

Ah ah! Divertentissimo :D

Però avete trascurato dei dettagli che per uno che non sa come si fa il caffè fanno la differenza tra un caffè buono e non (qtà d'acqua, qtà di caffè, livello della fiamma)

[bonespirit]

fantastico exelente

[attrattivo]

you are going too fast to follow ragazzi...

[GregGlobe]

imho... only a Bialetti will give you a rich and bold flavor. All the other ones I tried were giving something only and really bitter

[54spiritedwill54]

I love it.

[HawthornHeightsfan91]

is it weird that i like to drink coffee creamer?

[cheeseblinzes]

Yes.

lol

[nnamdi3]

fun vid lol

[skaterdude1229]

are expressos stronger than coffee ??

[GregGlobe]

Taste is stronger but the cafeine level is lower

[zagreusdioniso]

mi sono sempre chiesto: ma se è così semplice fare un caffè decente perchè quando vado fuori dall'Italia dappertutto fanno sempre e solo caffè imbevibili?

[andweind]

Terribile...

[syeda92]

lol good video

[pratigyabalaji]

mmmm....now i like to have some cafe!!!

[trixitrine]

I dont think that guy needs any more coffee - he is hyper enough!!! Great video, well done!

[ImDino]

lol you got a point there

[sadie71]

Si, molto buono--mi fa venire la voglia di caffe!

[slippyg]

V good. Made me chuckle.

[antandant]

i want that tool

[Zidanie5]

If I don't drink a cup of Italian coffee every morning when I wake up, I probably die around 830am

[Zidanie5]

[Savateboy]

enjoy life!! un saluto da genova!

[rmstudio]

Ma perchè non "Lavazza"??

[hellogolfy]

very cute :D

[aurumvore]

After my trip to Italy, I simply could not stand the American's tasteless, watered down, cardboard-cup coffee. So I bought myself a Bialetti Moka pot, and now I'm a happy guy.

[AdrienneJoyBrandt]

@aurumvore thank you for that ethnocentric tidbit

[mathewmeeker13]

@aurumvore So true. I just got back from Italy and I started thinking to myself: How the hell did I drink this crap?

[tzk21]

Neapoli's coffee is the best...in fact the famous Moka was made for the first time to neapolis...it's perfect

[jefskil]

....neapoli?

You mean Napoli/Naples?

[InnSewerAnts]

I would die without my Moka :D (well to be specific I use the Venus model from Bialetti instead of the Moka or Moka Express)

Together with a nice blend called "Milano" from the coffee & tea specialty shop near here frshly ground while you wait makes life worth while :p

[Lissidini908]

nice but i prefer MATE

Argentina toda la vida!!

[SpikeJonze]

thats cute

[TheDrumlineChik]

You're really tall...

[caneblu]

LOL bellissimo, un saluto da un'altro Tosolini (Walter).

[DidoLT]

[davide895]
