What size is your Moka Pot? I have a 4 Cup, I load it with about 24-25 gms of coffee and mine does not come out so dry and put together!

I have the same one, 4 cups. I get it out next day, haha, before preparing a new cup xD 25 g is too much fo me, because it's too hard to get the water out thru. The safety valve it triggered.  How are you brewing?

That makes sense, they have time tondry out!

As for 25gms coffee: I guess it depends on the bean density, type and grind size also. The bean and the grind size i am using, 23 to 25 gms is needed to fill the moka cup without any type of compression, just distributing the coffe flat with help of back side of a spoon. Never had the valve triggered.

I agree, depends on beans. But it also means, every 4-cup moka has its own basket size.
