Three tricks to make sensational moka coffee!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO MAKE A SENSATIONAL COFFEE WITH THE MOKA
Called moka like the homonymous city in Yemen famous for the high quality of its coffee, it represents the symbol of Italianness in the world but recent research has shown that, up until 2014, 53.3% of Italians preferred the moka with pods, while now the figure has dropped to 37.2%.
Maybe because not everyone is able to use it well and, above all, has never asked themselves what the bases are for a coffee worthy of being called such?
We at Caffè Haiti Roma have decided to resolve any doubts and reveal our 3 tricks that can never be missed to make a good coffee with the moka.
3 TRICKS FOR MAKING COFFEE WITH THE MOKA
Maybe it's out of habit or because we're always in a hurry, but we often make mistakes when making coffee by forgetting the basics.
Let's rediscover together how to avoid making these mistakes again:
Fill the base of the moka pot with cold water to avoid altering the aroma of the coffee in taste.
Furthermore, it is important NOT to exceed the height of the valve. Often, in fact, the mistake is made to go beyond this but this could create problems in the extraction of the coffee.
Once you have chosen the coffee (we recommend Biocaffè Moka Macinato or Moka Gourmet ) the filter must be filled to the brim, without creating a mound and without pressing the powder because the moka would work poorly and the quality of the coffee could be spoiled.
Screw the two parts of the moka pot together and place everything on the stove over low heat to allow the coffee to slowly rise.
A little tip that not everyone knows: as soon as you hear the classic bubbling and the coffee is rising, immediately remove the coffee maker from the heat to avoid it burning.
Finally, stir the coffee with a teaspoon 🥄 and pour into a very hot cup.
What if I told you that it is also very important to know whether to drink coffee from a porcelain cup or a glass cup?
Well yes!
The porcelain cup , for example, is very thick and keeps the coffee hot for longer than a glass cup which, instead, disperses heat much more easily.

Last but not least, DO NOT wash the moka in the dishwasher or with detergent if you don't want them to take away your Italian citizenship! 🇮🇹
