Haven’t finished cleaning the outside yet (hence the sticker residue) but the inside has been deep cleaned. It took about 19 minutes to do 200ml of coffee, and the end result was horribly burnt and bitter so I’d definitely not recommend it, but it’s a cool novelty! It will never be used again I doubt, unless I’m trying to commit taste bud murder, as this was genuinely the worst tasting liquid I’ve ever tried, but I might put it on a shelf as a decorative piece or something. The design is truly really cool, it’s a real shame it doesn’t make decent coffee. Maybe I need a better technique, but I love regular moka pot and used this one in a way I thought might make good coffee, so it might just be a bad brewer. If anyone has experience with it though I’d love some advice, maybe I just can’t make good coffee out of it and it’s a skill issue. I hope that’s the case, I’d love for it to make good coffee, but I don’t think I can assault my taste buds with that monstrosity again so I’m worried about playing with it.
Never tried this moka specifically but being italian myself we all grow up with at least 2-3 mokas per home
If you deep cleaned it, make 2-3 coffee to throw away before tasting one. The flavour builds up with time. For a while just clean it with water as soon as you used it so that the coffee doesnt dry up inside
I’ll try that if I give it another shot. Until I got my espresso machine I made moka pot every day, usually 3-cup but sometimes 6-cup. But I haven’t really touched the moka pots lately. I’m sure I’ll go back to them when the novelty of the espresso machine wears off a bit.
