So far it’s a bit on the weak side compared to same beans doing pour over.

I’ll try grinding a notch finer and longer slower brew. It may be partly a matter of seasoning the new pot too.

Any other tips from Bialetti vets?

I am happy to report, having bounced off of aluminum moka pots in the past due to metallic taste, this steel Bialetti one does not have that issue.

Perka-perka y’all!

This is the best possible resource on moka pot brewing. There’s two more in the series, but this is a great way to understand how to get the best possible coffee out of your pot.

Thanks, helpful. Hoffman mentions Wired Gourmet’s video (link 👇) which I also found helpful.

Initial experiment was a definite improvement.
