I bought a tamper recently, does the job well but is a bit unnecessarily heavy, i was previously using an empty upside down Coleman's mustard jar which worked well

You shouldn't tamp a Moka Pot. Tamping it will create too slow an extraction as the pot is not built for the same pressure as a real espresso machine.

I've finally got my Moka Pot coffee perfect for me. Tried different beans including blending but my favourite two beans are below. Arabica dark French roast. On Lazada 199/260 baht for 500g.

 

Also bought an improved version of the mokapot 209 baht 4 cup, some highfalutin people think you have to buy Bialetti, they are wrong.

How do you make your perfect moka pot coffee?

It looks attractive, I should order one to try.😊😊

I just got an e-mail from kickstarter telling me about this. Any opinions? Sorry for the long link.

Unnecessary when you can get moka pots that work well for under 300 baht

Works perfectly after tamping

Some of the copies aren't great, stick to Alechaung seller

If you do, do NOT order the one that may offer a heating element, as it's a POS, low wattage and takes forever to heat up the water, IF it does at all.   Yea, it's that slow, I didn't wait to see if it boiled the water.

 

Wife salvaged it out of the trash 🙄 and uses it when making her soap, needing a low, steady heat, so it actually gets used  👍

 

If O&A, you can use mini gas burner, and the Moka pot for good coffee, as I used to.

 

 

i bought a new grinder, similar to the last one, lasted 9 months before the battery started dying. The grind was finer than the last one so i adjusted it and now perfect

I eventually bought a Nespresso machine with aluminium capsules, it's a bit pricier but it makes very good coffee and no faffing about grinding, brewing etc.

 

I wouldn't recommend the Nescafé Dolce Gusto machine with the plastic capsules though, that makes terrible coffee.

i had a Nespresso machine, even with all the capsule options it's not as good as a moka pot and of course it will break in a couple years most likely
