If this magnificent chrome object is found in the cupboards of many people, few know how much the Italian coffee maker is a precious ally for brewing rich and authentic coffees.
The Moka Pot is a much cheaper alternative to an espresso machine, offering a comforting artisanal touch that allows you to obtain delicious coffee without breaking the bank.
How to brew your Balade coffee
with a Moka Pot:
IMPORTANT! There are several models of Moka Pots. Make sure you know the capacity of your coffee chamber. Here are the instructions to make 300 ml of coffee, but you can adjust the quantities based on the 1:10 ratio (1 gram of coffee per 100 ml of water)
- Add boiling water to the water tank (lower part of the coffee maker)
- Fill the coffee chamber with 30g of coffee
- Distribute the ground coffee evenly with a few light strokes on a flat surface or using a needle dispenser
- Heat a stovetop over medium-low heat
- Place the coffee maker with the lid open on the round
- Let the coffee begin to circulate between the rooms
- Keep the heat fairly low during cooking (adjust if necessary by removing the coffee maker from the heat or lowering the temperature)
- After about seven minutes , remove from the heat when the coffee begins to splutter.
- Pour into your prettiest cup (probably a Balade cup!)
- Drink as it is or add milk / water to make the recipe of your choice!
