The Moka wasn't designed to make crema, but the Brikka makes a lot of crema. I love my 2 cup Bialetti Brikka! But you must follow the Bialetti instructions to the letter for it to work. Use the enclosed measuring cup for the water, a medium electric stove, and take it off the stove as soon as you see steam and the crema stream is established. It will finish brewing off the stove.

You know I was going to make a comment similar to that but you definitely beat me to it. I mean that completely eliminates the problem.

Add the sugar to the coffee in the cup. I always find that adding sugar to the milk causes it to froth a lot less.

But they give you a chart telling you how many scoops of coffee to add for every cup so I'm not seeing how that can be confusing if you're following the guide

European cup is 4 oz. Like @Jeffrey says, the instructions give you a chart of coffee/water amounts. Ultimately, you may want to create your own chart based upon your personal preferences.

No, you may not

Hi Elle, Thank you for watching and commenting with your coffee question. We would guess that the hole you are referring to is most likely the 'freshness valve'. This is a one-way valve that keeps the outside air 'out', therefore keeping your coffee fresher for longer. But it also lets air out of the inside of the coffee bag. When coffee is still fresh, it lets off natural gases that it needs to escape in order to 'degas'. This valve allows this to happen without letting any air back into the bag. We hope this helps answer your question. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to comment! Happy Brewing from the Crema Coffee Crew :)

Hi there, Thank you so much for watching & commenting with your experience with the Moccamaster. We always love hearing about other people's methods and approaches to achieving the ultimate brew. Keep doing your thing and spreading that coffee knowledge. :) Cheers, The Crema Coffee Crew

@@CremaCoffeeGarage Also, making smaller batches allows grounds to be more easily and evenly covered by water.

Hi Monique, Apologies for our delayed response. Thank you so much for such a positive review. We understand that you have spoken to one of our team and secured yourself one of these beautiful machines. So glad we could help you out! If you have any follow up questions, do not hesitate to reach out! Thanks again for watching! Kind regards, The Crema Coffee Crew :)

@@CremaCoffeeGarage yes I have! It looks beautiful on my bench and the coffee is wonderful. I’m using the gold setting for now. I set up a shortcut with a Switchbot bot to press the button, wait 3 seconds then press it again, so that wakes it up then starts it brewing. When I wake up I run the shortcut then have cuddles with my dog as it brews. It’s fabulous! Thanks so much for the help over the phone, and for sending it so quickly. The whole experience of buying it was great 😁

Hi Aisha, In this video, we use the french press for both the production of your espresso shot and your frothed milk, but in two separate productions. Hope this helps. Cheers, From the Crema Crew

Hi there, Thank you for watching and commenting with your question. Apologies if it did not seem clear, but at the 25-second mark of the video, we show a picture of a microwave and a time of 40 secs, to indicate to heat your milk for that allotted time. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9uVp6qptqvakoU.html We would 100% recommend heating your milk to enjoy a nice, warm latte. We hope this has helped :) Happy Brewing from the Crema Crew :)

@@CremaCoffeeGarage thanks for the reply!!!!

Hi Yuvraj, Thank you for watching & commenting with your question. The best alcohol to use for burning/heating your syphon coffee would be Ethanol or Denatured alcohol. Both of these produce little to no smell or soot. Avoid using isopropyl alcohol, as it produces a sooty, malodorous flame that is less hot than denatured alcohol. We hope this has helped answer your question. Happy brewing from the Crema Crew ☕

Hi George, Thank you for watching & for commenting with your question. Apologies, we do not have any footage of the OVER ICE Mode or more footage of the POUR-OVER mode, only what is already in the video. However, what we can tell you about the way this mode prepares the coffee, is that it is obviously tailored towards the smaller 1-2 cups for an individual. This mode also mimics the times that you find in the manual preparation of pour-over (see our video here: bit.ly/3RUDE1i). An initial bloom for 30 seconds, followed by two separate pours for an allotted time each & a break in between to allow the liquid to drain & avoid overflow. What we can comment on is that the automated version of this brew method will never be able to full replicate that of a traditional, manual pour-over method, as you are unable to mimic the style of pour that you will see in the video and this affects the saturation & therefore flavour development of the coffee. The settings in the 'My Brew' section only pertain to that setting. Any other setting will have its own pre-set parameters, especially when it comes to temperature and time. For example the STRONG coffee setting, you will still use the same quantity of coffee & water that you would for the MY BREW or GOLD setting for example, but the brewer will take longer to brew as it will steep longer to create that depth of strength. The OVER ICE setting is relying on you as the user to adapt the recipe as per the instructions, to create a stronger brew, with double the amount of coffee and less than the normal amount of water. This creates a stronger brew that you will then dilute with water or milk once chilled. More concentrated than your typical filter batch of coffee. FAST mode is, as the name would imply the fastest mode available. Brewing up to 12 cups (1.8L) as fast as the brewer can deliver the water in the tank. It is for this reason that this batch will have the lightest flavour and be a lot closer consistency-wise to a pour-over or Chemex, as the water is passing through the coffee at a faster rate than the MY BREW or GOLD settings. We hope this has helped bring a bit more clarity to your questions on this product. We do highly recommend this product for batch brewing specifically and the extra features are simply a bonus and drawing card for those tossing up between different filter coffee makers. Please feel free to comment with any more thoughts or questions you may have! Always happy to help! Happy Brewing from the Crema Coffee Crew! ☕

For best taste, I'd use within that 3-4 day time period, but I've read that it keeps for a week.

Hi Sofia, Thank you for watching & commenting with your question. The brew will taste its most optimal between the 4-5 day period. However, it will still be pleasurable to drink up until 10 days. We do not recommend keeping it longer than 2 weeks. Hope this has helped! Happy Brewing from the Crema Crew ☕

Hi Nadav, Thank you for watching and commenting with your question. Sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your first brew. We would recommend experimenting with the recipe to suit your personal preference. Obviously, you can't go any higher with your water capacity, therefore we recommend increasing the coffee quantity to increase the strength. Start with increasing to say 100g and see how you like it. We really don't recommend brewing the coffee for any longer than 18 hours, that is more than enough time to fully extract everything you can from the coffee. You also can periodically throughout the brew time, open the lid and give the grinds a slight stir and the water a swirl to ensure a fuller extraction. We do highly recommend using coffee beans that are no older than 6 weeks old (from roast date) and ideally you would be grinding your coffee right before you brew it. We hope this has helped and don't hesitate to reach out if you experience any other questions :) Happy Brewing from the Crema Crew ☕

Hi Mark, Thank you for watching & commenting with your question. It would always come down to the individual model that you are looking at, but most/if not all of the domestic models of machines that we sell at Crema, that have a rotary pump, can either be run off a water tank or you can plumb them into a water source. Giving the user an option. Just ensure you look into that for your specific model. We hope this has helped. Feel free to comment with any further questions you may have.

Hi there, Thank you for watching and commenting with your question. Initially, you want to give the roaster around 30mins to get to your drop in temperature and be stable. You can roast back-to-back batches, as it is able to start reheating while you are cooling the last batch you have roasted. Rest time in-between batches is up to the operator, but you would be looking at a minimum of 3-5mins between batches. Ailio themselves recommend a monthly capacity of 100kg. We hope this has helped answer your question. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to comment. Happy Brewing from the Crema Coffee Crew ☕

Hi Allan, Thank you for watching and commenting with your question. We purposely provide two options for ratios for people to experiment with and choose their preferred result. The first ratio of 1:4 is what we at Crema recommend when making your toddy as that is the method we have found that provides the most delicious and full-bodied result. However, the manufacturer of the Toddy themselves provides slightly different ratios, not too dissimilar to the second option of 350g coffee :1600g water. So we are simply providing two options for you to experiment with and you can of course land on your favourite. We hope this has helped clear some things up and apologies for the confusion. Feel free to comment with any more questions. Happy Brewing from the Crema Coffee Crew ☕

Hi Sharon, Thank you for watching and commenting! According to the manual for the Thermal Moccamaster, the minimum amount of water that you can fill the tank with is a 1/4Litre (250ml). A 12oz cup is the equivalent of 354mls, so you can most definitely make a single 12oz cup with this brewer. You just need to ensure you follow the manual's instructions on how to brew the smaller batches. We hope this has helped & feel free to comment with any more questions :) Happy Brewing from the Crema Coffee Crew ☕
