This coffee maker with its unique octagonal shape was first designed in Italy in 1933 by Alfonso Bialetti, and his company continues to market the leading model, the Moka Express. In Italy every family owns one of these machines.
Espresso is coffee made by forcing hot water under high pressure through coffee that has been grounded to an extremely fine powder.
This machine delivers all the flavor and aroma of espresso without the expense and bulk of a fancy espresso machine. You just fill, brew and pour.
Follow these tips for a unique coffee:
* Fill the bottom chamber to a little below the safety valve (or it will explode) * Use drinking water. Avoid tap water especially if very chlorinated * Use a finely ground good coffee and put in the container but don't overfill * Never compress the coffee * Put on medium heat or low heat * Do not let the coffee boil, as soon as coffee reaches the top, remove from heat
Dispose of the first 2 or 3 batches of coffee before first use to prevent any aluminum flavor.
To assure a long life to the Moka Express:
* Avoid high heat * Rinse the components with water, don't use the dishwasher * Towel dry * Store dissembled * Make sure it is completely dry before storing away * Replace the rubber seals once in a while
The choice of coffee as well as quantity used make an enormous difference in the result. You will find that you like a certain amount of coffee grinds and maybe a certain level of water and you will consistently get the best cup of coffee you ever had.
The Bialetti Moka Express really does a great job of extracting the full-spectrum of flavors without overpowering you with the acidity that can upset your stomach. For more tips visit http://hubpages.com/hub/moka-stovetop-espresso-maker
