Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bialetti Moka Express 3-Cup Stovetop Percolator
Customer Review: Greatest little coffee maker
Summary: 5 Stars
The Moka Express is the perfect little coffee maker and simple to use. I've read other reviews where users expressed problems they had. Here is what I have learned that might help others...
1. Use a good quality bean and grind it fresh just before making a pot..it really does taste better!
2. No need to pack down the grounds...just a nice level basket is all you need. In fact when you pack it down it takes longer for the coffee to rise to the top.
3. As others have said, don't wash with detergent...easy to clean with warm water and a clean sponge.
4. Some have said the handle gets too hot...that means the heat is too high or the pot is placed in the center of the burner instead of on the edge. I place mine on the edge of a gas top burner, set the flame to med-low with the handle facing out and in about 5-6 minutes I start to hear the great gurgling sound...psssssss. Just when the pot starts to make the louder sound that signals the top is filled with a great cup of coffee I take it off and let it set for a few seconds before pouring it into my cup. If I want to make a second cup, I can hold the pot under the cold running water for just a few seconds and the pot is cool enough to hold in my bare hand or I can use a towel and even unscrew it without running it under cool water.
5. As to the comments that it's hard to lift the basket without good fingernails, we save our coffee grounds to use in the garden so I have a container i pour the used grounds into. I take the bottom of the pot, with the basket in place, tip it over on its side (over the container) and the basket begins to slide out. I then grab the basket by the edge and dump the grounds into my container and I'm ready to rinse the basket, rinse the top part and begin to make a new pot of coffee.
6. Heating milk in the micro or stove top and pouring the hot coffee into the hot foaming milk is one great option and pouring the hot coffee over a shot of half and half is very good as well.
I hope this is helpful to you...enjoy!
