How to Make Perfect Moka Coffee

1. Fill the bottom section with water up to just below the safety valve.
2. Fill the filter loosely with ground coffee without tamping 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 suitable?

Medium-fine ground coffee is best for Moka pots. Very finely ground espresso can restrict the flow too much, while coffee that is too coarse often lacks body.

Pezzetti – Italian Moka Tradition

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