Moka Pot Guide

TL;DR: Fine-medium grind, medium heat, 5-minute brew creates strong, espresso-like coffee with intense flavor concentration.

The Moka pot produces concentrated coffee with bold flavors and slight bitterness, perfect for customers who enjoy strong coffee. This method complements your Bardstown Blitz blend's dessert-like qualities.

Equipment and process:
  1. Fill bottom chamber with water to safety valve
  2. Use fine-medium grind, fill basket without tamping
  3. Assemble pot, place on medium heat
  4. Listen for gurgling sound (coffee is ready)
  5. Remove from heat immediately
  6. Serve or dilute with hot water if desired
Key considerations: Never tamp the coffee grounds. The Moka pot's pressure extraction intensifies flavors, making it ideal for showcasing your blends' complexity. Clean regularly to prevent metallic tastes.
