I’m visiting my parents today and they don’t have an espresso machine, so my only option for strong coffee is moka pot. I gave this Italian flag version to my mom a few months back after she tried moka pot at my place and really liked it.
I haven’t made moka for myself since I got an espresso machine, but it’s nice to come back to again. It’s gotta be my second favourite way to actually make coffee, only behind manual espresso, though the end result I’d prefer a pour over to moka (but espresso is still my favourite).
This picture is obviously after I finished making my coffee, I didn’t have the mug on heat or anything. Only realized how it looked after I took the picture and cleaned up.
I had a difficult time getting used to induction in the beginning, but now that I know how the stove works (and like it) I thought this would work as well. I was hoping to be able to skip the extra tool (the adapter plate), but one complicating factor might be that the induction elements on my stove are just on the threshold of the base of my moka pot. So it might be that I’m getting some uneven heating? Not sure yet.
