Ingredients and Tools:

• Medium-fine ground coffee beans
• Water
• Moka pot
• Heat source (stovetop)

Choose Quality Beans:
Starting with high-quality, freshly roasted coffee beans will set you up for brewing success.

Prepare Coffee Beans:
Grind your coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency, similar to table salt.

Fill the Moka Pot:
Fill the bottom chamber of the Moka pot with water up to the safety valve. Make sure not to overfill.

Add Coffee:
Place the ground coffee into the filter basket, leveling it off without pressing it down. Adjust the quantity based on your taste preference.

Assemble the Moka Pot:
Screw the top and bottom chambers of the Moka pot together tightly.

Heat on Stovetop:
Place the Moka pot on a medium heat source. Make sure the handle is not directly over the flame.

Brewing Process:
As the water heats, it will create pressure, forcing it through the coffee grounds. You'll hear a hissing sound during this process. The coffee will start filling the upper chamber.

Monitor and Remove from Heat:
Keep an eye on the brewing process. Once you hear a hissing sound and the upper chamber is full, remove the Moka pot from the heat immediately.

Serve:
Stir the coffee in the upper chamber gently to mix the layers, then pour it into your cup.

Pro Tips:

• Invest in a burr grinder for consistent grind size.
• Use filtered water for best tasting results.
• If your brew is weak and sour, try a finer grind. If your brew is bitter and strong, try a coarser grind. 
• Clean the Moka pot thoroughly after each use to maintain its performance.

Brewing the perfect Moka Pot coffee is a rewarding experience with a bit of practice. There’s a reason this brewer is so iconic and loved by many for decades. Experiment, make adjustments according to your taste preferences, and soon you'll be enjoying a cup of Moka Pot perfection every morning.
