Gennaro makes mundane things look so majestic. This guy knows how to live.

Gennaro consumes food and drinks with his soul, he really feels it!

Refreshing to see it done by a real Italian. No fuss, no filtering the coffee through a virgins hair, no adding water heated to precisely 98F, no setting to gas mark 3.9875. Just chuck the water in, add a reasonable amount of quality coffee and apply heat and time. Brilliant- I’m going to make a cup right now

When I need a good relaxing smile, I watch Gennaro! Love his voice, laughter, and warm heart.Reminds me of my Father.Thank you, Gennaro,U ROCK!TEACH US EVERYTHING!

Gennaro, thats the way of coffee making , you celebrate the brewing procedre. Love that.

He's so excited I could smell the coffee too

Ive always watched Gennaro’s videos from 5 years ago, 6 years ago etc. I saw this video 16 mins after from uploading. For some reason that made me so happy. I felt close to Gennaro :) God bless guys like him. Greetings from Istanbul.

even if Gennaro just boiling a water i still love to watch it

even though i've been making coffee in the moka pot for years, i still click to watch Gennaro do it. as many say here, this man always makes my day a bit better - especially if I'm feeling down - and never fails to remind me why making food is so good

Please, Gennaro, do more videos on how to do simple things. It will make the world a better place.

The water is coming out of the valve because you filled it past the level of the valve. It should always be filled below it. Also, use freshly boiled water, not cold. The process is much quicker and the grounds aren't being baked while the water heats up, resulting in a less bitter cup.

The most useful wedding present we ever got. Lasts a lifetime, and an eternal marriage...

This guy is a legend. I've used these coffee pots for years. When you fill it with water, make sure not to fill above the little valve. He almost touched on it but not quite. Also, fill it with just boiled water to speed up the process. Makes no difference to the end result.

The existence of this man alone can make me smile. And I know I'm not alone.

I used to live in Italy a long time ago...and have been using one of these every morning, ever since. It really is the quickest and easiest way for a decent cup of coffee. Also, (pro tip) that bubbling and steam coming out from around that valve isn't supposed to happen. That's a (safety measure) pressure release valve if you accidentally forget about it on the stove or the stem is clogged...his is old and the seal is broken so the release valve won't work anymore as it's intended. The entire point is if the pressure gets too high that emergency valve blows to release the pressure. Considering the entire point of the thing is using pressure to make coffee....you probably don't want a leak like that because it's not going to work as intended for making coffee, and can (although unlikely) be a bit dangerous.

I love Gennaro, his enthusiasm is infectious. Long live Gennaro.

Love this video. Some additional tips from me for a smooth brew: - Lavazza coffee is best in my opinion - all of their range gives great results - Don't over pack the filter with coffee (i.e. don't compress the chamber, let the coffee sit naturally) - High heat can lead to a bitter flavour, have the gas on very low and let the water boil slowly so you don't burn the coffee - Similarly, don't let the coffee over boil, as the last creamy bubbles fill the pot turn the gas off - the pressure will continue to release more coffee into the pot - FIll half a large mug with milk and heat on medium power for 50 seconds (not high power) and add the coffee to the milk for a nice smooth breakfast brew Lovely!!

This is the only machine I use Genarro, since I was a kid in Europe and now in Australia. The best!

Watching Gennaro makes me happy. Such a positive energy he gives!!!

I love the pan lids in the basket 🦘🐨🇦🇺

Gennaro is pure class

We use the same coffee pot in Bulgaria too. Wish you all the best!!!

So simple, so good...so much love! He is worshipping the beauty of life!

To get even better tasting coffee, first, grind your own. Best would be fresh roasted coffeebeans (after 1 week of roasting, use before 4 weeks after roasting). Then, instead of cold water use boiled water, make sure to use a towel or something because the moka pot gets hot obviously. This reduces the time on the gas and the time the coffee is connected with the hot source, because the pot can get really hot, it's better to reduce the time this way and get less bitter/burned coffee. Last but not least, when the coffee starts pooring into the upper part of the pot, reduce the heat to a minimum. Some say you can also turn off the heat because there should be enough pressure to press the water trough the coffee but I like to put it on minimum heat to get it going. Then when it starts to make noise, turn off the heat. I then pour into the cup right away because the less time the coffee is in that steaming hot pot the better, some would say to cool it down with the coffee inside by running cold water over the bottom part, but I find it a mess and a bit dangerous so I just poor into the cup right away. Should need less sugar because of less bitterness as well ;)

What a timely delight to enjoy while Im sipping my morning coffee. Basically had "smell-o-vision" while watching this :)

Good morning from Texas. You have a joy and zest for life Sir! You could talk about taking out the garbage and you would make it enjoyable 😀 God bless you.

Everyone has their ways of coffee and there's not much to it but take it from a coffee guy - use fresh coffee ans grind it yourself. If you get ground coffee it's already lacking so much flavour because it was probably ground weeks if not months ago. Get some good beans, roasted like a week or two before, no longer than 3 months. Also, dont put cold water in, use 60*C (140F) water or just a tad hotter than tap hot, you'll avoid burning your coffee inside the mokapot (which makes the brew more bitter) and the whole process is just quicker. Go ahead and watch James Hoffmann's take on mokapot coffee if you can. Not saying Gennaro is making bad coffee, it's just some tips how to up your game ;)

Can’t believe I just watched a video on how to make a coffee 😊 you make me smile Gennaro

Love you Gennaro! Why you make coffee sooooo goooooddd!!! I too enjoy brewing a coffee in a Bialleti. Simple but wonderful pleasures.

We came for Gennaro, the companionship, and coffee. Thank you!

I’ve seen this coffee maker but never known how to use it! Thanks for sharing.

passionate grandpa with good energy. We need more of these vids.

wish Gennaro healthy n happy. Love your cooking. Love from HK, China.

Love you Gennaro!

Gennero long time no see we missed you NOW WE HAPPY Thank you

You don't want to know how much I'd love to have a coffee or tea break with Gennaro

Love hearing the cockney accent slip in every now and then.

Gennaro.... We all love you... long live for Gennaro

Thank you sir for sharing. Just like you I enjoy my coffee exactly like you this way every morning. Kindest Regards from Ireland 🇮🇪

The Japanese have their tea ceremonies, we have Gennario for the coffee!

You have just made my morning coffee more enjoyable, thank you! xx

I start my every morning with brewing a good cup of coffee in this type of pot. After a big breakfast - just hits the spot perfectly!

You're the best of the best Gennaro xxx

That look of happiness on his face is so infectious! these Moka pots are amazing!!

Excellent! No weighing of coffee, no weighing of water, no tamping, no timing the brew. 😁👍 But enjoys the aroma and adds sugar. A true coffee lover not a process lover!

My favourite way to make coffee I remember seeing Antonio Carluccio’s kitchen He had an amazing collection of Moka Pots 🙏😍

Grazie Gennaro. Just love you, your wonderful recipes and your kind spirit.

You make the simple delights of life magical. This was the best part of my day❤

A basic piece of kitchen equipment that I don’t have because I didn’t know how to use it. Now I feel like I have learned something old and kind of magical. Thanks Gennaro 😚

Love his passion

I fell in love watching him make that coffee. And I think I could even smell the aroma.

Bless you, you help me a lot with your good energy.❤️

Love your wonderful videos Mr Gennaro. God bless you 🙏🏻💙

You are the best chef . Bravo Gennaro

You're so warm and generous. Thanks for another video :)

I would love for this man to be in my family -- always teaching how to make something better and tastier!

My favourite coffee machine..really it makes the tastiest coffee !!! Thank you Gennaro

Definitely own one of them, it's the best!!

Normally I don't drink coffee (only sometimes), but oh God, I'm gonna get myself a cup. Especially its 10:48AM, so close to 11AM :D And I have the same "coffee machine"

Gennaro with great love and respect may I suggest you fill the basket outside of the bottom part, a little more than it needs, then remove the excess with the finger. Once that is done, place it back in the bottom and screw the top. This way you get more coffee in the basket without leaving any coffee bits in the thread ensuring a proper seal and no mess. Try it. Love you!

I also use it every day. It is so delicious!

This man could boil water and make it special! He is a complete gift! Thank You Gennaro! You give such meaning and passion to everything you cook, touch, and share!

If there's one word to describe Gennaro it has to be "Passion"!

Вы потрясающий человек!! Долгих лет и отменного здоровья желаю вам, Gennaro.

I have Bialetti at home. Awesome thing! Gennaro, thanks for sharing your wisdom, sole and love with us!

I would love to have a coffee break with Gennaro. Love that guy! Well, that didn’t look complicated so maybe I will buy one of those coffee makers one day soon. I did used to have a Greek copper coffee pot back in the day. Don’t tell him but I’ve been making instant espresso.

It's almost midnight and this video makes me want to get out of bed and go make coffee in my moka pot!

Throughly enjoyable to watch! Ha! Good work👍🏻

This is the best way to drink coffee! Sooo good and flavorful… this is my ritual every single day! Thanks Gennaro

It's about the simple things in this complicated world. Love this video! ❤

All this olive oil preserved this guy, he never ages... :O

Been making coffee daily like this since my dear Italian friend bought me a jug. I have a dose of pure Italy every morning. Love you Gennaro.

First I thought: What the heck? A video about making coffee. But as I like Gennaro I watched. And there: A little meditation. I always take my caffettiera with me. Because if everything else fails I still have a good coffee in the morning!

Love your kitchen!!! 🌸

Please show us the rest of your kitchen, it’s lovely

He's alive , 🙏

We love Gennaro !!💕

Thanks, Gennaro, you cheered me up a bit.

I enjoy this man very much.

I love Gennaro! Make more videos please!!!

I've been using these for a couple of years now and the best tasting coffee that I can get from one of these is by keeping a low flame, Just enough that the coffee slowly creeps up the centre tube and falls down like a stream instead of sputtering. When it sputters, I find the coffee to be too acidic and too bitter at the same time.

Gennaro, once again THANK YOU. I have wondered about those machines. Am getting one

I love your videos and how you interpret your recipes with love. I have 3 moca coffee makers and perfect. Thank you and také čáře. Peter from Prague.

You look like my second father..he was half italyn.. i miss him very much..thank you for this wonderfull clip .pure and simple how life is with a great smell of pure coffee..🙏

Gennaro taught me to enjoy the little things in life. Dolce vita!!!

What a man. Oh my my. Why am I cooking so good!

I love you the way you do this simple things

Gracias Gennaro ❤️🌺 ¡Me inspiras! #BravoGennaro

Grazie gennaro.. viva l'italia

Love mokas, such a piece of art. Have several from Bialetti and Alessi

Thank you!

I love the way you describe ❤ love from Athens Greece ❤

Brought one home from Umbria two years ago and take it everywhere I go..... make coffee on a stove, open fire.. bbq :) Best tool "ever" :)

I’ve missed Gennaro so much

God bless this man.

Gennaro thank you my friend the coffee looked delicious .

Some tips to make a better tasting moka: -Use filtered water instead of tap water. Most tap water contains lime scale, which will make the coffee taste worse and lessen the lifespan of your Moka Pot. -Fill the water to under the safety valve, so no water runs out of it when it's heating. This way you get more pressure through the filter and the coffee. -Boil the water first. This will lessen the time the coffee grounds are sitting over heat, which will make the coffee taste less bitter. -Take the Moka Pot off the heat as soon as you hear the air bubbles, and pour it into another pot or a cup. Just like a French Press, the last bit of coffee is mostly bitter. -Grind your coffee right before you need it. Newly grinded coffee always tastes better than weeks old grinded coffee.

Thank you Gennaro. I love using mine but worked out how much coffee and water by trial and error. It was good to learn, properly, from an Italian master.

Beautiful! Grazie mille!

My father gave me one and the sound it makes when the coffee makes my mornings so much better.
