Caffe mocha without milk
My idea of simply adding sugar and cocoa powder to coffee doesn't work. I already know how to make a coffee drink that has both chocolate and milk in it. My favorite of that genre is the Marocchino that Dandelion Chocolate serves at their bar in San Francisco: "Our European Drinking Chocolate + doub...

Moka pot question about the amount of coffee in the filter basket
The second article said that the coffee pot exploded and caused a blaze that overwhelmed her, resulting in second and third degree burns over 90% of her body. So while it isn't entirely clear what happened you're right that it wasn't simply a moka pot that killed her. I used to regularly fill my fir...

Moka pot question about the amount of coffee in the filter basket
I think coffee is inherently complicated. It's a balancing act that many people fail at and even experienced coffee enthusiasts struggle with at least occasionally. Phil isn't chasing perfection. He just wants coffee for two that doesn't taste like astringent cardboard. And the moka pot sure seems l...

What are they doing here?
Thank you. Of course as water is driven off during roasting that will change. Probably white coffee has gone far enough for it to float. Then again, in the original photo the beans are piled in there so thick that they probably don't need to float. {image} {link} Maybe I will send those guys an emai...

I was wondering the same thing! Hopefully the roasters have their act together. One of their coffees was highly recommended by someone on this forum

Moka pot question about the amount of coffee in the filter basket
What you want is properly extracted coffee. That means you'll have a certain percentage of the beans in your cup. The rest is water. So if you extract properly but have less total beverage volume than desired you can simply add hot water to achieve that volume. If that leaves you with coffee that is...

Moka pot question about the amount of coffee in the filter basket
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn't mean people on this thread were confused about what you have. I meant that generic moka pot advice on the internet more often than not assumes a 3 or 4 cup pot. As for grind size, you need to dial in just like any brewing method. You can actually buy pregroun...

Moka pot question about the amount of coffee in the filter basket
What actually killed the person? Do you have a link? I was thinking the same thing. What you are describing is overextraction and that can be due to a combination of too fine a grind, too much time, and/or too high a temperature. The brewing in a moka pot actually begins pretty early in the process ...

What are they doing here?
So you're betting on this coffee roaster shooting video of glasses full of baked beans or corn instead of coffee? I'm going to go with lighting and a fuzzy focus. Plus it seems that beans are more likely to float belly up. Here's the "webpage with the video", for context. Here's just the video (the ...

What are they doing here?
That's what I was thinking too. I wonder why the beans being in there would make it appear orange? Yes, it does look like the (probably canned) baked beans served as part of a standard breakfast in the U.K. or Australia, along with a slice of cooked tomato and some mushrooms, and one or more breakfa...
