Ingredients
- 1Β½ cups hot water (12 oz/350ml)
- ΒΌ cup whole roasted coffee beans (or 2 tablespoons of medium-fine ground coffee)
Method
- Place the whole roasted coffee beans in a coffee grinder, and grind to a medium-fine grind.
- Fill the basket with grounds. Loosely fill the basket and be sure not to tamp it down.
- Pour hot water into the bottom chamber of the pot.
- Use a towel to hold onto the bottom chamber as it will be hot from the hot water and then attach the top part and seal it tight.
- Place the pot on the stovetop over low-medium heat and brew for a few minutes. Once you hear gurgling and the coffee has bubbled up into the empty chamber, itβs time to remove the pot from the heat.
- Run the bottom chamber of your pot under water to stop the brewing process and then pour yourself a cup!
- Pour 8 ounces of just boiled water into 1 cup (or 2 ounces) of Moka pot coffee.
- Brew coffee in your pot as normal and heat milk separately.
- Use a handheld frother to froth the milk.
- Pour your coffee into a cup and top it with the frothed milk. A good ratio is 1/3 coffee to 2/3 milk.
- Brew it hot in your pot and allow it to cool to room temperature.
- When itβs ready, pour it over ice in a tall glass with some ice cubes.
