Whether you're brewing your very first cup of moka pot coffee or your thousandth, there's always something new to learn that can help you make better coffee. Moka pots are also known as stovetop espresso makers, and have been allowing coffee lovers to make superior coffee at home - without a fancy machine - since 1933. The perfect cup starts with how you wash your pot and ensuring you use the right water and beans, and ends with what you put in your coffee."
"Before you brew in a brand new pot, you're going to want to clean it properly to avoid ending up with a mouthful of coffee that tastes like it was made inside a car engine. The first step is to clean the inside with water, wiping away any manufacturing residue with a soft cloth or paper towel. Using soap is one of the worst moka pot mistakes you can make, so you should never throw it into a dishwasher or soapy water."
Moka pots, also called stovetop espresso makers, have produced rich, smooth coffee at home since 1933 without needing a fancy machine. Achieving the perfect cup depends on proper cleaning, correct water, and suitable beans, plus attention to how the coffee is finished. The moka pot's concentrated brew can outperform cheap espresso machines and appeals through ceremony and simplicity. New pots should be rinsed and wiped to remove manufacturing residue. Soap and dishwashers should be avoided because they can impart off flavors. A consistent washing routine and ingredient choices are foundational to better moka pot coffee.
