Making of a perfect italian coffee

[chgosatrap]

yummmmmmmm

[northseacowboy]

if u get coffee all over the rubber seal it will leak

[xLightFilmsx]

This is the coolest song I have never heard.

[LaMinorTonu]

perfect italian coffee made by a not-so-perfect man..

[smccr04]

@LaMinorTonu lol

[MsTritacarne]

AHAHAHAH ma per favore.Primo passo :la moka va sempre pulita con una spugnetta d'acciaio.NON deve esserci residuo.serci .Secondo la moka ha una vite di depressione che indica al termine del suo bordo l'acqua da mettere(non soi supera il bordo).Per chi ama il caffè ristretto consiglio di misurare una tazzina colma 3 quarti d'acqua se la moka è da 1,Due tazzine per quella da due .Oltre le caffettiere per me son ciofeconi allungati.Il caffè nacinbato va versato nel suo contenitore fuori dalla moka-

[JSTINHO]

89,695 dont know how to make coffee loooool

[rammstein11004]

if you leave it on the stove to long it will bubble out all over the joint.

[Heinooke]

cleaning that thing now and then is mandatory ..its dirty dude incase you hadn't noticed :)

[borisburkhart]

is this guy for real ??

[EngineerOverlord]

I just got one of these and it makes the perfect cup of teavana tea! It was fast and effortless with virtually no mess! I like my cast iron teapot but the work involved and the mess it generates is just so overwhelming first thing in morning, I can now just brew a cup of delicious Teavana and go to work! :D LOVE THIS

[Obarista]

Dica perfeita de como não utilizar essa cafeteira!

[rodfilm]

hahaha so messy. youve got to wipe the grinds away from the rim of the bottom piece so the gasket seals correctly, not just jam them in there!

[whisperingvenus]

somehow this video is funny ... in a wrong way :-D

[PainDealer86]

@whisperingvenus Indeed it is :D I heard the pot screaming in agony while being screwed too tight :o

[bellamama157]

Mi piace, grazie! Spent much time in Napoli as a youth, and this takes me right back to those days...Magnifico! ;)

[caleron0]

TURN OFF THE GAS

that one saved my life

[sigfrid]

Pretty sure that you are meant to turn off the stove when the coffee is still going up, but is your coffee, your rules etc xD

[szyroki]

Fair enough. You might fight with me but still, the comment I was referring to is down. I have no problems with you or your way of making coffee. It's just that people from outside Italy may know how to make coffee too, and to deny them the right simply because of their extraction is BS.

Have a nice day and a nice coffee, anyway. Seriously.

[Etherdave]

If he's using a relatively coarse grind his Moka won't explode. But the general rule of thumb is FILL TO THE MIDDLE OF THE SAFETY VALVE.

[Trotters80]

I have one of these but my coffee seems to have a "burnt" taste and the consistency is more runny than caramel???. Any tips?. Cheers

[Jeonseongbin]

u got a beautiful mokapot! but ur doing it worng. its not safety.

[vonsilak]

WTH? ur doing it wrong. the safety thing (hole)....shoulld not be under water

[klarinetta]

I would not like a coffee from this pot sorry. It's disgusting.

[vancitycanary]

That's one dirty coffee maker, mine never gets that dirty. Lol...

[richcampoverde]

you put to much water in its only supposed to be filled untill just below the valve

[iocomunicatrice]

non c'è bisogno nè di riempire tutto il fondo d'acque per poi buttare quella in eccesso e nemmeno di buttare tutto il caffè sul banco!

[bootsie60]

@iocomunicatrice grazie...dopo che me lo hai detto tu starò più attento :)

[iocomunicatrice]

@bootsie60 non volevo offenderti! ad ogni modo, se l'ho fatto, mi scuso :)

[1968eric]

Great video. I just pulled mine out of the closet and blew the dust off. Then I needed a refresher to make sure I knew how to work it.

[dejantonic]

dude, ur mokka pot is so poorly maintained, it's a true wonder it still produces a decent espresso... firstly, pour water up 'till the lower edge of the safety valve... secondly, u ought to remove the excessive amount of coffee until there's not a single grain on the edges of the funnel, otherwise the rubber gasket will not last...

[leifaroo]

smells like a good feeling ;)

[rumvodkaf1]

can you feel the smell? wtf

[gavlar67]

you can make the taste smoother by allowing the steam to escape. I have attached my short video response to show how i do it.

[shelbyfahrer]

Which coffee is best, illy or Lavazza or Segafredo or what else?

[elisfonseca]

coffee in Brasil!!! love this song

[madnassos]

I think you put a bigger quantity of water and coffee...

[bomb1954]

И ежу всё понятно! Great!

[rcarfagna]

great song! cool video!

[nonnakimberly]

CAFFèèèèèèèèèè!!!

[evrnevrnevr]

This is a great video, far beyond its instructional merit.

[bootsie60]

it is fun to read how many foreign ppl think to know how to make a coffee better than an Italian... :)

[lazarus921]

@bootsie60

You're right but on the other hand I think that pizza in other countries tastes better than original italian one :)

[bootsie60]

ahah sure! go ahead to eat it in your country ...

i will eat in mine.

[cooch555]

@lazarus921 that's what I found, too! The pizza in Italy is really not that good at all.

[szyroki]

@bootsie60 And being Italian you have the copyrights for coffee making? As far as I know coffee doesn't even grow in Italy, coffee making was not invented there, so stop being a douche. You like your coffee and that's fine, but your preparation is sloppy and not quite safe. Suck on it.

[bootsie60]

@szyroki do youy have some problems? look for a doc dear coffe expert...you need it. Make your coffee in your favourite way, i really dont care...you are not obliged to follow my rules. I love my coffee and even is not quite safe never is happened to my moka, so you dont be so stupid to tell me what its better or not.

At least never heard poland is famous for his coffee...

[szyroki]

@bootsie60 Poland being famous or not is not the issue, which you clearly don't see. I was referring to your self-important comment on how funny it is that people from other countries may have something to say about coffee making. So the only problems I have are with this kind of douchey comments.

Even though modern coffee making is heavily influenced by the Italians, it doesn't automatically grant all Italians the right to act as the living repositories of all coffee-related knowledge.

[bootsie60]

@szyroki man dont have so many time to spent following your philosophical thought about italia influences about coffee.

Maybe you clearly dont see that title of this movie (made for a foreign friend who wanted to know how to use moka and thats all) is "Making of a perfect italian coffee" than the unique funny thing here is that you say that i have "all coffee-related knowledge".

At least im talking about making coffee in italy and not fot the whole world.

[purenerd]

Cute video.

I can "feel the smell"

not to be a jerk but WOW - that smell must be like a kick in the throat

just a tad over extracted ;)

next time try pulling it off of the stove a little sooner.

Unless you like burnt over extracted coffee.

Cheers.

[loeckcheen]

is this supposed to be funny?

otherwise it would be very sad...so not perfect italian...

[joepesce3]

this is a disaster! it's no good at all!

[phxhvac]

Damn, that's a tiny coffee maker!

[Elcaobero]

I don't understand italian coffee and the music said coffee in brazil

[nornsmain]

you should fill the bottom up to the valve line so you don't have to waste time emptying it with the filter

[Mrjoeshmo]

I was thinking the same thing!

[droober]

okay, who sings this version? and to you, the coffee maker, great video. thanks a ton!

[chefcommons]

Nice work, we liked your video very much so we embedded it on ChefCommons . com w/ link back and reference to Youtube. (Let us know if you don't wish for it to be featured)

[seanburke100]

I love this song!

[lloydbolier]

you should have included the pouring of the coffee at the end of this video

[mate61]

He probably couldn't pour it out! He put an awful lot of coffee in there for the amount of water in the bottom! Yuck!!!!

[chrispross]

BTW, I was translating for monterosa123123, in case anyone may need clarification...

[gieph]

how much does a moka pot cost? love the song! love love love love it!!!! i love coffee, dont you?

[attrattivo]

i meant strong, lol!!!

[attrattivo]

i'm guessing this is for making only espresso, right? If so i have 2 questions: does espresso coffee come in flavours? Also how many spoons of coffee if i want it medium? i.e not too string, not too light?

[baggarwa]

This coffee maker was so dirty, u should wash it before use. But I like the video. It's really helpful.

[moorabinda]

They say not to wash the percolator with detergent - only water. Perhaps that's why. I keep mine on low heat too.

[hsbocaj]

yes, also don't fill above the valve

[Sicofonia]

Indeed!!!

[skaterdude1229]

are expressos stronger than coffee ??

[reinaldihno]

an espresso is a small quantity concentrated extraction of coffee achieved by passing water through the coffee at a very high temperature. Espresso coffee makers are those machines that run on electricity at cafes and restaurant. Although the method shown on the video can make strong coffee, it cannot be regarded as espresso because it does not use high enough pressure. Espresso shot is 30mL, a long black coffee is espresso shot + boiling water.

[monterosa123123]

ORRORE! questo è il modo peggiore per preparare il nostro caffè! BARBARO!

[Divinelighte]

hoe long is the process?

[SpundUp]

My grandma make this when I visit her^^

[wilpri]

It'll hiss when it's done.

[wilpri]

Honestly, I hope the lug nuts on my car are not that tight!

[emunoz1678]

Does anybody know the name of this song

[cellphoneringer]

The Coffee Song.  :)

[decasgr]

an italian friend broght me a moka as a present. the instructions didnt had pictures so this video helped :)

thanks a lot for uploading it!

[YoPaulie21]

That is definitely a well-seasoned pot! Interesting technique. I'm surprised you don't have problems with the seal by leaving all the coffee grounds around the rim and filling past the safety valve - but obviously it works for you. Good job!

[rafanel81]

bravissimo.. complimenti!

[kasietta]

cool video ;)

[sweetnovembre]

I have the same problem. The coffee was so cloudy with sediments even though I clean the filter and rubber band around the filter.

[bootsie60]

did u check if rubber band is the right size for your filter? rubber must not move around the filter.

[dangry69]

i had only used my moka a few times and last time it "exploded". coffee from floor 2 ceiling. wot did i do wrong???????

[bootsie60]

Maybe side valve is not functioning properly. So You have to buy a new one.

[outlaw686]

@dangry69 use low heat, don't pack or tamp it, use espresso grind

[NYer79]

can i do thi over an electric burner (non gas burner)? Grazie !

[bootsie60]

ofc u can...will be only slower

[weisgerbers]

When I use my moka pot the coffee turns out cloudy with a lot of sediment. What am I doing wrong? I must pour it through a paper filter before drinking....too much trouble. Help!

[bootsie60]

did u clean well the filter? and the rubber all around it?

[weisgerbers]

Yes I did. Maybe I need to really pack down the coffee. I'll try again. I had given up. Thanks for your response.

[sweetnovembre]

I do have the same problem. The coffee was so cloudy even though I cleaned the rubber and filter.

[Onexpresso]

MtTraveler you will never go back to the electric if you do get a moka pot!

I will try each way; not to pack it or to over fill it. I've been packing it three fulls scoops and water to just under the valve for a three cup pot.

[antsamarchin]

I have sent links to your video to several people. I have a Primula made in Venezuela, guess it keeps Hugo Chavez goin' . The song goes round and round in my mind whenever I see the pot. Well done video...Thanks for posting!

[nurey78]

pretty sure you're not supposed to fill the water past the pressure breaker

[irvpat]

That was nicely done!:)

[MtTraveler]

holy crap! I have a stuipid machine :( I want one of those

[dedalus20]

Non sapevo che si dovesse riempire la moka di acqua fino in cima; io lo faccio solo fino alla valvola. C'è un napoletano (ergo,supremo conoscitore della tecnica) che conferma o smentisce tale passaggio? A voler essere pignoli manca la giratina finale prima di servirlo ;-)

[bootsie60]

io sono napoletano ;)

cmq volendo si può anche fare fino alla valvola ma con il mio (e di tanti altri napoletani) metodo il filtro elimina l'acqua nella quantità giusta.

[monimolinion]

Huh, I'd been taught to fill it to the valve, but I will definably have to try filling it your way. But doesn't the coffee turn out more watery?

[blurredsoul]

anch'io di solito la riempio fino alla valvola..ma evidentemente c'è più di un modo :)

[ReneeSoprano]

MMMMMMMNNNNN!

[Napulitano88]

:-D AMO L'ESPRESSO ANCH'IO!

[hoppuscwb]

what is the song name?

[chiliberten]

the coffee song originally by Sinatra

[feroast1]

This version is by Osbisa, on their Sunshine Day release.
