Moka pot question about the amount of coffee in the filter basket

Moka pot questions.. brewing and filters

It's been a while since I came back to reply here because I've been trying different things and just generally busy. But what you said intrigued me, why are 12 cup moka pots different? Are they not just the same proportions of the smaller ones but bigger?

Moka pot question about the amount of coffee in the filter basket

What specifically is different about the two? Are they not scaled versions of the same proportions?

Moka pot question about the amount of coffee in the filter basket

Assuming your machine hasn't failed or made a mess of things, I think you answered your own question. Different brewers and different doses (or fill levels) will produce different coffee.
