]]>If you are looking to start making coffee using this classic method, here are some keys for making the best-tasting moka pot coffee possible.
One key to making good moka pot coffee is to put warm water into the water reservoir when brewing the coffee. Cold water will take too long to heat up, allowing for the possibility of the coffee grounds to burn and taste bad.
Instead of turning your stove onto its highest possible temperature to make your moka pot coffee, and do it fast, try medium-high heat. Once again, this is key in avoiding the possibility of the coffee grounds burning and the water spraying out of the moka pot uncontrollably.
