Re: Mokapots, Moka, or Stovetop Espresso, Period.
Great thread, Mr. Moo! I'm gonna have to pull out my pot from the back of the coffee cupboard, and get back to using it again. I find myself always reaching for the press pot, but seeing your pics makes me want to try the Mokapot again.

I've tried my best to stay away from this, but I think it's time to head down the coffee slope too. Moo would you mind a grinder/tamper clinic as well? I know from previous threads both tools are important.

Re: Mokapots, Moka, or Stovetop Espresso, Period.
Excellent thread. I have been thinking about getting one of these but couldn't remember what they were called. Now for a little game of "where do the Koreans keep that" (it's not as easy a game as it sounds at times lol) to see if I can track one down.

Re: Mokapots, Moka, or Stovetop Espresso, Period.
Mister Moo are you trying to kill the espresso houses? Turning this many people onto Mokapots could be devastating to the economy. Who is going to pay $4-7 for crappy espresso that is more than likely being made from stale beans if you keep pushing these pots. What's next? Home roasting for the masses?

Re: Mokapots, Moka, or Stovetop Espresso, Period.
That'd be awesome, I was trying to sift though it last night but I was pretty tired. Most of what I caught was people arguing how two big rocks or a whirly grinder is just as good a burr.
Edit: Which I don't believe! I'm sure two big rocks are WAY better than a burr.

So. You're one of THOSE. Who sent you here?
Every time I say the word "gr....r" something like this starts.

Re: Mokapots, Moka, or Stovetop Espresso, Period.
Ok, update. Moe hooked me up with some sweet already ground coffee to use. Lowered my heat and BLAM. Got some awesome coffee and some crema on top. Not a ton, but never got any before.And my wife actually drank some and wasn't yelling about the burnt coffe smell. Now to perfect my method and I'm all set. Delicious mokapot whenever I want. Thanks to Moe and Mr. Moo

It's so good to have Moo here. Love your threads...they're always informative *and* entertaining! Now, where is the Mukka thread?

Moo,
Was it you that posted that Youtube video on brewing with a moka sometime last year somewhere else? I'm a terrible reader and the day I clicked on that link was the day my exploding moka pots and bad brews ended.

Re: Mokapots, Moka, or Stovetop Espresso, Period.
So is there truly a difference between the quality of brew that is produced between a moka and a brikka?
Or is it just that the brikka seems more "idiot-proof" (a good thing for me)? Long ago and far away I used to have a French Press, and I loved it until my wife broke it. I have been wanting to replace the FP, but one of these bialetti's looks like a better device (and should be unbreakable to boot). Is the brikka worth the extra $$ and does it deliver similar results as the moka? Thanks, Chris

Re: Mokapots, Moka, or Stovetop Espresso, Period.
Why shouldn't you clean with soap? If not soap, what then?
You've inspired me to pull out my mokapot and try again!
