[–] superkret@feddit.org 99 points 2 years ago* (3 children) Slackware As simple as Arch, but more stable. The design is almost 100 years old and doesn't need daily filter updates. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago (5 children) But also it burns the coffee permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] superkret@feddit.org 52 points 2 years ago (2 children) Only when you use it wrong. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] franklin@lemmy.world 52 points 2 years ago (1 child) That sounds an awful lot like the blaming the user.

A regular percolator does, as it circulates the coffee back into the boiling water, unlike a moka pot, where the finished coffee does not sit at the bottom close to the heat, but in the top compartment. You should take it off the stove as soon as it’s done to avoid getting the finished coffee back to a boil or overextracting the coffee but if you do it right, they make really good coffee. There are even some versions that feature a valve, so the coffee is cooked at a higher pressure, getting it a little closer to espresso and producing a nice –albeit short lived – crema. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Hell, mine made crema on the first try. I probably over-pressed the coffee though. I really like the mocha pot, but I'm a cappucino fan - if only there were a simple way to steam milk. I even have a Bellman, but it takes forever to build up pressure. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rinox@feddit.it 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) You shouldn't press the coffee in a moka.

The few times I've used my moka pot I've preheated the water in a kettle so it gets to brewing faster (based on coffee people recommendations online.) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] 50MYT@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago This is the correct way to do it. Boil the water first, pour it in the bottom, place coffee in section on top, screw on top part, heat till it brews out the too, then remove from heat as soon as it's done. permalink fedilink source parent [–] doctordevice@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago I use refrigerated filtered water in mine. Maybe I just don't set the heat too high though? I use a coil stovetop and put the knob around 7.5/10. Coffee takes 7-8 minutes after I turn it on. permalink fedilink source parent [–] doctordevice@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago I've used a moka pot nearly every day for 10 years, never burned my coffee with it. I'm not even sure how you'd do that unless you just completely ignore it when it's done and leave it on the stove forever. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago I can't imagine how you burn coffee with a mocha pot. Like, you'd have to go out of your way and intentionally try to burn coffee with it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* Me too. And a lot of chatter (how are people managing to burn the coffee!?). Classic. Stable. Easy to maintain. Need to take care to get the best results. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) Do these work ok on a glass top stove? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Yes.
