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.
Yeah the process is great. I’ve found I prefer manual espresso but every other brew method, I’d prefer moka. It’s just a lot of fun.
What type of manual espresso so you have? I find regular espresso machines too expensive for me but I was thinking of getting a flair.
I’ve heard good things about Flair. I personally use a Cafelat Robot. It’s fantastic but hard to find. Here’s my go-to daily setup if you’re curious:
