The moka pot is a compact, eight-sided miracle made in Italy that can make espresso-style coffee without the need for large, expensive, and high-maintenance machines. Invented by Italian engineer Alfonso Bialetti in 1933, the elegant three-chamber pot relies on the pressure generated by simple stove steam, which accumulates in the lowest chamber and pushes coffee grounds upward.
The Coffee Making Process
To use a moka pot, you need to put the ground coffee into the coffee basket, fill the bottom of the moka pot with water, then assemble the moka pot, and finally put it on the heat source, wait for about 5 minutes, when you hear the grunting sound, Your coffee is almost complete.

An espresso machine uses hot water, high pressure, and finely grind coffee to make espresso. You may not be able to use it as a beginner, but when you gradually master the method of making coffee, you will want to have such a multi-Functional machine.
Add one rounded tablespoon of finely ground coffee to the base for every espresso-sized shot you'd like to make. Heat water to 170ºF; use it to fill the base up to desired cup marking. Place the filter in the cap, screw it onto the base, and then place the base over a mug. Stir coffee grounds for ten second and then use included plunger to carefully push water down, through the grounds, into the mug.
Remember, good coffee always starts with good coffee beans.
Coffee only has a peak freshness of 2-3 weeks. Therefore, the fresher the coffee, the better it tastes. Try to buy freshly roasted coffee beans. You will fall in love with this taste.
At the same time, you also need to store these coffee beans properly. You only need to remember these basic rules: no heat, no air, and no light.
The finer grinding is faster to extract, while the coarse grinding takes longer. If your coffee is not sufficiently extracted, grind it finer next time. If it tastes too strong, try using a coarser grind size to slow down the extraction rate. Everyone's taste is different, and the degree of grinding can be adjusted according to your own taste.
Ok so you’ve adjusted the grind,
Next, brew up.
The ideal brewing time will be determined by your brewing method.
For a coffee machine like a French press, the coffee will continue to brew until you stop it, so you have to strictly control the coffee brewing time. The brewing time of the French press and drip coffee machine is four minutes, and the brewing time of the moka pot is two minutes, while the brewing time of the Espresso machine only needs 3 minutes.
As a rule, your brewing water should be between 195 and 205 degrees.
You can constantly adjust the temperature of the water as you learn to make coffee, you can taste and record it, until you reach the taste you want, then you get the most suitable water temperature.

For you who are new to making coffee, choosing a moka pot is the best choice, because its operation is relatively Simple, the price is more affordable.
