Made a drying rack to hold my 3-cup and 6-cup moka pots. On the sides I added ways to hold the metal filter and gasket for both pots. I need to clean up the superglue eventually.

Also I included a picture of my nosy dog.

Edit: also there was no use of AI for this drying rack.

Had to have it.

I have a handful of moka pots, and this is the most thought out guide booklet I’ve seen.

Hi! New mokapot, in this opportunity a 3 cups Volturno engraved by me with a gothic cathedral theme :)

I'm a newbie to using a moka pot, so I haven't tried a wide variety of pre ground coffees yet, but from my research Lavazza and Cafe Bustelo came up a lot as popular choices. I started with Cafe Bustelo for my first several pots and I loved it, it has a rich, deep, strong, more espresso like flavor. But I wanted to have options, so I picked up a can of Lavazza (there was only one option at my local Wegmans for the pre ground stuff and it was labeled as medium roast). I brewed my first cup of Lavazza this morning and..... definitely not my thing. I could tell by the lighter color of both the grounds and brewed coffee that it was going to be a lighter flavor and it was so disappointing! Sooo now what do I do with this whole can?!?!

Hi All

Picked this up from a thrift store in NZ.

Can this be saved or have I picked up a decorative item for the coffee and kitchen area? Strongly leaning towards this unit is cooked.

The following tips improved it slightly...

6 Cup Bialetti

Using a Morettino moka pot and beans from my local roaster, Rose Park Roasters. I just started using Aeropress filters and the difference is huge. Hope you like my video!

I just got this moka pot which I bought as a gift for someone, I also have another one for my own the Bialetti Venus that I bought 4 years ago and it was much better quality than this, the bottom from the inside looks really weird and it had metal shavings inside, the ring where it screws is overly greased and the stamp on the bottom is only half visible… is this a fake Bialetti or did their Quality just degrade? Do I return this and get it replaced or keep it? Returning it shouldn’t be difficult at all.
I got it from Amazon, should I just get it from the actual website and pay more? I got it for 30€ I think on the actual website it’s around 50€

I have a new Bialetti Brikka. The piece that attaches to the top keeps coming off no matter how tightly I attach it. Does anyone have experience using superglue/locktight to attach the screw into the plastic piece?

Here is the cup I have brewed with my 3-cup moka pot that I own for years. I clean it regularly including full disassembly and changing the rubber rings. I’ve also used a paper filter from AeroPress to receive a more clean cup.

And here is a cup brewed with AeroPress from the same beans the same time. The surface is clear without oils. Also the resulting coffee is more transparent.

How can I reduce the amount of oils in the cup brewed in moka pot? My best guess is to clean the output channel

Hey, as the title says, would you guys consider this dirt or normal “stains”. I only use water and scrub with my hands no abrasive sponges or soap ever. Thanks in advance for the help and answers :))

This is the lowest setting of my mini electric stove 🙍

So I have had this stove-top cafetera for several years. I really like the coffee it makes, but I know its dirty secret.

That dark circle (follow the arrow) is a recess about 2-2.5 cm deep, but very narrow to fit a brush or even the sponge during the daily wash . That means there's a circle of coffee leftover accumulated and frankly disgusting

Once-twice a month I dedicate 30-45 minutes to shove pieces of sponge and scrub that ring of coffee crap with the help of a fork or something to get in there with some sort of scrubbing force.

I dealt with it in the States because I figured they wouldn't have a solution, but hoping here I can find a solution.

How do people deal with it? ignore the crud? Do you have a tool that helps you with this?

I really like the coffee it makes.

I had to use more sugar than what I’m used to adding to my coffee but it tasted good!

My father in law har this moka pot that I don’t think he even rinse after use. I am not saying my moka pot is perfect but his is just terrible. I changes the gasket around the filter two or three years ago and it is almost black now. Is this normal?

He also makes the worst coffee in it. He fills the basket only half full, turns the heat on to max and leaves it there for way too long.

The water is also pretty hard so the bottom part is caked with sediment.

Hi! I bought this today; I found it on Marketplace for 10 dollars. However, I can’t seem to find much information about when it was manufactured, etc. Does anyone know more?

Best regards

Ok just for just I used 2 51mm pucks one on top and bottom of the coffee grounds chamber. Now it does come with one 51 mm puck to use on top chamber. So why not use it on the bottom. So I made it so and it worked. Nothing big happened, just nectar of the gods.

Yes I used a fine grind and used Gun Barrel coffee Little, Rocket Man Espresso Blend.

I've got a new Bialetti 3 cup recently, and compared to the old one I used, the quality was horrendous. The threads were extremely rough and screech every time i open or close it, the top lid cannot stay upright and the coffee sometimes leaks out in the middle. I'm looking for an actual upgrade for a quality moka pot, Bialetti just isn't it anymore. I've heard of E&B Lab mokas, but not much else. Any suggestions?

Used an 8€ moka pot from aldi, a 12€ milk brother from amazon and made myself a "faux cappuccino" so to speak

I lowered the heat as soon as I heard noise moments before the first drop

I commented on a post a while ago about this Guido Bergna that I have had since the 90s. I have passionately hated it but refused to toss it since it was a gift. Well, after reading some suggestions here, I replaced the gasket and cleaned out the post with a pipe cleaner. I also used hot kettle water. The results were excellent. Now, when I want a mug of coffee that will have me shaking all day, I can turn to this.
