Hi there
New to the forum and the hobby so please excuse any newbie questions :oops:.

I recently inherited a Krups Moka pot and was wondering what the best grind setting I should use. I buy fresh beans at the store (limited finances sorta negate a good grinder...but I'm saving!) and use the Bunn commercial grinders like at Whole Foods/most grocers. The settings are as follows: coarse, regular, elec perc, drip, auto drop, fine, espresso, Turkish.

Any suggestions? I'm really enjoying the coffee from this machine vs my old drip machine, and feel that I could get even more flavor if the grind is done correctly.

Thanks!
G

I would suggest the fine grind. On a scale of 1-10, most would recommend around a 3.5 as a good grind for a Moka pot.

Are you talking about a stovetop Moka Pot or the Krups Moka-Brew system?
