Have a Drink On Me! Bialetti Crema Rocks.

Bialetti mokapot 1-cupper rocks.

Fill the basket evenly with any medium-fine or fine ground coffee (lightly tap a few times to settle coffee) and form a SMALL dome of coffee to be gently compressed when screwing on the top. Evenly filling the basket and generating light compression when screwing down the top will prevent water from channeling thru the puck and reducing richness and foiling crema. The slight dome creates good pressurization during brewing. To much coffee/pressure blows safety valve - not enough (or badly ground) coffee lets water blow thru the puck and ruin the brew. Proper grind, an even fill and enuff coffee will almost, but not quite, cause the safety valve to blow. Brewing should occur slowly on lowest heat for about 45-seconds. It should dribble out with the pot almost choked. Stop and pour coffee when the brew begins to run pale or clear.

Which coffee do you use ? I use Starbucks and grinder but doesn't make creme on the top which looks delicious

@mlodybiker Any FRESHLY ROASTED coffee.  Find a local roaster is my best advice.

Great  Video! Great Music! Great Coffee!

[xenawarriorcat]

@kurdupel11abc - Thank you, k'pel. The music was a pleasant accident. I was fooling around with a new phone-video recorder and the radio next to the stove popped out with "Have A Drink On Me" when I was recording. :-)

(I am also lucky about getting the front parking space. Go figure.)

At what temperature you had your stove? Great job!

[xenawarriorcat]

@hel1nas: I start a mokapot on medium heat until I hear the sound of water rumbling, then lower the temp down to low. When brew begins expressing from the post (on a electric or gas stove) I may lift- or slide the pot away from the hottest part of the element (or flame) to keep the flow slow and steady. When the brew begins to go pale I remove the pot from the heat source to slow/stop the process. I get the best moka from a slow brewing process using the lowest heat level possible.

Nice zoomarama at the end. This poster clearly loves their Moka.

@xenawarriorcat I tend to play with the temp too, also i let it settle for a minute to let the dregs settle to the bottom and don't pour off completely. Iv'e made some great coffee from this simple little pot. Thank you for the video!
