How to Make Perfect Moka Coffee

1. Fill the bottom chamber with water up to just below the safety valve.
2. Fill the filter loosely with ground coffee; do not tamp it down.
3. Screw the top and bottom sections together tightly.
4. Heat on medium heat and remove from the stove as soon as the coffee flows out steadily.

Which coffee is best?

Medium-fine ground coffee is ideal for the moka pot. Very finely ground espresso can restrict the flow too much, while coffee that is too coarse often results in less body.

Pezzetti – Italian Moka Tradition

The history of Pezzetti dates back to the 1940s. In the 1960s, Italexpress was established as the name of their classic moka line. Since 2004, the brand has been part of Ghidini Cipriano, based in Gussago near Brescia in Lombardy.
