Moka Pot

IDEAL FOR: Enthusiastic campers and Americano aficionados

GRIND SIZE: Similar to granulated sugar (setting 5 on EK43)

COFFEE TO WATER RATIO: 100g/litre

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Loosely fill the basket insert with finely ground coffee, levelling it off at the brim. Tap gently to settle the grounds.
2. Pour boiling water into the brewer base, then carefully screw the top and bottom together (a tea towel might be handy for this).
3. Place the moka pot on a low heat, preferably gas.
4. Watch for the coffee to start emerging from the top spout, and remove it from the heat as soon as you hear the first sputtering sounds.
5. To stop the brewing process, immerse the base of the brewer in cold water or wrap it in a damp tea towel before pouring. Leaving it on the heat for too long can cause your coffee to taste bitter.

SUGGESTION: For a surprisingly good DIY cappuccino, add your Moka Pot "espresso" to a briskly plunged French press of hot milk.
