#1: Post by Moka 1 Cup »

My dual boiler is out for repair so I decided it was time to take my Moka pots out from retirement.
The last three days I have been playing mainly with the single and I think I have been drinking my best Italian "espresso", ever. That is thanks to an excellent coffee, a late discovery following a recommendation by a forum member, and few tricks with some of the hardware that I have acquired since I joined this forum.

Since this evening I had nothing better to do, I thought about passing it on to other Moka aficionados, in case they want to try it.


Coffee: Dragonfly Crema Dolce, 7g
Grinder: Niche Zero
Coffee pot: Bialetti 1 Cup
Tidaka single dose funnel
Tidaka single dose tamper

Pour the coffee into the filter, and shake a little bit to make it even:




Insert the tamper, without pressing.




Check that everything is ok:



Five minutes later .....
