In 1933 Alfonso Bialieti invented a new method of brewing coffee. Known as the stove top espresso brewing method, the Bialieti Mocha pot system leverages the physics of boiling water to brew coffee through a pressurized chamber. Boiling water passes a puck of ground coffee to the brewing chamber.
Grind Setting: Medium - Coffee grounds should be generally the size of ground salt (Do not use espresso grounds in your Mocha Pot)
What to look for
Authentic Bialieti Mocha pot is recommended here. Because brewing coffee requires boiling water and very high pressures, its recommended to use a tried and true tool of the trade. A Mocha pot with tested seals as well as a pressure release valve is required to operate a Mocha Pot safely.
