Moka coffee has been a staple of Italian households since the 1930’s. The Moka Express invented by Alfonso Bialetti, produces an intense, full-bodied, cup of coffee that’s 2–3 times as concentrated as regular coffee, earning it the nickname of “stove-top espresso”.
A Moka pot may look intimidating, but it shouldn't be. Water is first poured into the boiler. A coffee basket is then inserted and filled with medium grind coffee beans. Lastly, the top is screwed on and placed over a medium heat. As soon as the coffee starts to gurgle, remove, pour, and enjoy.
A Moka coffee’s bold and intense flavours are like that of an espresso. It’s normally enjoyed in a small cup, just like an espresso, and if you choose, a bit of milk.
Although Moka coffee is often referred to as stovetop espresso, it can’t technically be considered an espresso. True espressos need at least 9 bars of pressure to be classified as espresso – a Moka pot produces only 2–3 bars.
Intense flavours, bold tastes, incredible aromas. And we’re not just talking about the coffee. Have a look at another inspired recipe to tantalise your taste buds.
