Here's our favourite way to make a marvellous Moka Pot.
If you're a Moka Pot Maestro, we'd recommend giving our Forest Blend or Anthem Blend a try!
Collection:
HEAT
Boil your kettle, and let it cool a bit (94 degrees, if you’re a perfectionist like us). Pour the water just below the valve in your pot to preheat, and to prevent any metallic tastes from getting into your coffee.
MEASURE
For a 3-cup Moka Pot, measure out around 15g of Perky finely ground coffee into the basket, or until it is level with the top.
TAP
Give it a cheeky tap on a surface to ensure everything is nice and even. Brush any loose grounds from the edge to ensure a tight seal.
SCREW
Get screwing! it’s best to use a towel to hold the bottom half, as it’ll be a touch hot.
WARM
Time to pop it onto your stove on a medium heat, making sure that the handle is clear of the heat (you’ll thank us later). Leave the lid open.
COLOUR
Once you see a rich, brown colour changing smoothly to a lighter honey-yellow, it’s time to remove the pot from the heat.
COLD
Hold the bottom with that faithful towel, and run the bottom half under some cold water. This will help stop the extraction.
ENJOY
You’ll be left with a small shot, that’s super concentrated, rich and very tasty. You can drink this as an espresso, or add more water if you’re a fan of a longer beverage. Enjoy!
