  • 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

  • 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

see all

  • @Grievas123 your comment was what i was looking for.

    i really appreciate it.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO

  • @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

  • 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...

  • Such a douche that guy.

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

  • cos'è sta merda...

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

  • 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.
