The best Moka pot coffee that I have tasted is "Illy Moka Pot coffee". Expensive but available from Amazon, your local Italian food store, or your national Illy distributor.

I think you should spread out the needles outward as I also have but smaller version and I have always a problem distributing the clumps and so I tried that method and much better as declumping

Nice video, could you explain why caffé vergnano (medium roast) got a grind setting of 8, while Lavazza grind setting was less? I believe you said light roast=finer grind, and vergnano is darker roast than lavazza. Thank you 😊

Good test but imo all your 4 test was the grinder too coarse…. You should have a 2:1 in 30 sec….

@espressodoctor 11 ай бұрын

Yes I think what happened was changing the settings every time didn't give the grinder enough time to adjust if that makes sense, I've seen a lot of people once they change the setting waste some coffee the first 3 4 seconds to give the grinder time to adjust, can't confirm though. I did also play around with the inner burr too made it finer so I am still experimenting with it too

@marioruisi7379 24 күн бұрын

@@espressodoctor Your coffee ran way to fast. You using double shot (18g) for a single cup. Brew ratio also doesnt fit. should be 2:1. Means by 18g of coffee should get around 40g of grinded coffee and around 20ml of shot ind around 20-30 seconds. Your coffe ran like 10 seconds I guess.

Its a showdown of the best Italian espresso Brands not coffee

@rioriggs3568 5 ай бұрын

Lavazza, Kimbo, Segafredo, etc. ($0.45/oz) and similar brands are nothing special and it's not worth paying for their "supreme" versions, it's pretty much all the same quality coffee that may have been roasted a year ago. IMO Illy ($1.25/oz) is by far the best Italian brand, but it's also 2x or 3x the price. For top quality coffee that's worth the money, it's best to buy from a specialist roaster like Intelligentsia ($1.40/oz). This coffee has usually been roasted a few weeks before. A local micro roaster is also an excellent option and this coffee may have been roasted just a few days earlier. Once you go down the speciality coffee rabbit hole, you'll realize the differences are huge.

Coffee doesn't have a long life expectancy, by the time you are finished all that stuffing around. I would be either too tired to drink or the coffee has lost its flavour. I've had your machine and I make an equal coffee in a simple Di Longhi Dedica. No bull with it. My daughter uses my Breville machine, she said there really isn't much difference in taste. A good roast is best. Review is not for me.
