I guess you can tell that I love my 3 cup Moka Pot. The instructions state that you should boil 3 pots worth of water and 3 cups with coffee before even drinking a cup
I highly recommend this process because it will do a few things: 1) you’ll work out your work flow 2) it will “season” your moka pot
For a 3 cup moka pot, you’ll need just a tad over 12 grams of beans. That is if you’re grinding your own beans. Tap the funnel to level out the grounds and off you go
I didn’t use a paper filter. I used the E&B metal filter, which did a wonderful job by the way, of filtering out the grounds that might bypass the original metal filter
I used a metal plate over my gas stove on medium heat. I feel this helped distribute the heat more evenly
Within a few minutes, the moka pot was making that welcomed sound and I can see coffee coming out of the chimney. There was a slight lull just before it began to sputter and the coffee went a lighter in color and sputtered
At that point I took it off the heat and ran the bottom half under the faucet to cool it off
I may need to play with grind size a bit more, but I think I’ve got it very close. I’ll need to experiment a bit more and see, but my first “cup” was quite good
Btw, I’m using a dark roast. Costco Kirkland brand of French Roast
I’ve even added some foamed milk using the Nano Foamer. Great little device, which I’ll review in a bit
All in all, I’m very happy with my little 3 cup moka pot. One thing you may consider using is a couple of hand towels, because the moka pot does get a bit hot to the touch even after holding it under the faucet
Cleanup is straightforward too. Just be aware that it is hot. Just rinse and wipe clean and dry thoroughly to avoid water spots and tarnishing the aluminum
Otherwise I love this coffee making process
UPDATE: 1-17-2025
Although, I absolutely love my 3 cup Moka Pot, I’ve recently purchased the 1 cup Moka Pot version. Why? I figured there’s going to be a point when A) I’ve got a small amount of beans leftover, B) I’m home all day and don’t want to drink a large amount of coffee in one sitting and I can make another one because I enjoy the process of making coffee, C) It’s a nice way of experimenting with grind size and beans without wasting a bunch of beans
This is basically for home use even though it’s the smallest and arguably the most transportable to work. However, due to the nature of my job, I can’t take timeout during my day to make another 1 cup of coffee. So that’s where the 3 cup moka pot comes in
If you get over the minuscule size, it’s actually a pretty neat little Moka Pot. It’s very toy like, but it still makes great coffee, just in a 1 cup size. I mean the espresso guys drink that same amount with hundreds of dollars or even thousands of dollars worth of equipment. True, this isn’t actual espresso, but it’s close enough for me. And really it’s all about the taste isn’t it?
Also, I’ve used this smaller Moka Pot to try out the paper filters that some have raved about. I’m not sure I’m good enough to taste the difference. However, with the dark roasts it’s a tad, I mean a very small difference for me between paper filters and without. Also, I wet the paper with a RDT spray to help it stick I guess. Also, I grind a bit coarser since the paper is going to add resistance to the flow of water - there’s a slight increase in pressure enough so that it slightly pushed in my metal filter in the Moka Pot. Nothing serious. Just grind a little coarser. How much coarser? Different beans and roast levels means different grind size. You’re going to play with that. And that is where the 1 cup Moka Pot comes in handy
I bought a 6 cup Moka Pot too. That’s whenever I might have guests over. Have fun and I hope you enjoy your Moka Pot as much as I do!

How to make a perfect italian coffee
Fill the boiler up to the lower level of the safety valve, without exceeding it and using fresh water, possibly low in limestone.
Select a quality blend, suitable for the production of coffee for the Moka. Fill the filter generously, without pressing the coffee powder, forming a small gutter and avoiding dust escaping on the edges of the boiler. Close the coffee pot, screwing the collector firmly onto the boiler and place it on the stove.
The flame must never envelop the coffee maker, but remain inside the bottom of the same, in order to allow extraction in adequate times and not too quickly. As soon as you start to hear the typical Moka gurgle, the coffee is ready and you will need to turn off the fire immediately.
Never let excess coffee boil: this would burn it, compromising its success and making it too bitter.
Enjoy hot coffee, as soon as it is ready, remembering to mix the contents of the collector: the coffee extracted at the end, in fact, is less full-bodied than that leaked at the beginning of boiling.

Beautiful moka pot that works exceptionally well; I love the Italian flag colors - see UPDATE
A friend of mine showed me her Bialetti moka pot in silver and I liked it so much that I decided to order this one. The current price of $36.86 plus tax is pricey but typical. She even paid $8 less than I did but the price on Amazon fluctuates and this particular color is more expensive. It is also perfect for Christmas time even though these are the colors of the Italian flag. This pot comes in three pieces (five pieces if I consider the filter and filter ring separate). The filter and filter ring are shown separately in the documentation but I could not remove them; although one day I'll need to replace it with this. In fact, I ordered a new filter when I purchased this not realizing I didn't need it. Before use this pot has to be primed (four times). First, it should be used (heated) with just water then dumped. The remaining three times it should be brewed with coffee and then the coffee dumped. Once the unit is primed, it is ready to use. After priming, I brewed regular coffee on low and it was done in a few minutes. It is perfect for espresso (not as good as what comes out of an espresso machine but close enough). As long as I remember to warm my milk after I froth it, it makes a good cappuccino by just pouring the brewed coffee on top of the foam or adding the foam on top of the coffee (either / or). Note that I also ordered these filters to lay on top of the grinds (and wetting it lightly) but my order for that hasn't arrived yet. This will help keep some of the sediment out of the brewed coffee. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: - This supposedly makes 3 cups but the "cup" size is actually the tiny espresso cups (demitasse cups). Since this holds only about 4 ounces of water below the safety valve, I actually consider this as making 2 espresso cups. Each demistasse cup holds a little over 2 ounces of coffee. - This needs to be primed before use as mentioned above. - This pot only gets rinsed with water and never washed. - The coffee grinds should not be packed down as one would do with an espresso machine. They should only be loosely sitting in the "funnel." - Only regular grind coffee should be used. Espresso coffee (which is a finer ground) should NEVER be used with this pot as it will clog the filter. - It's best to use with a lower flame below the pot. Lifting the lid during brewing may make a mess. I tried lifing the lid and during the end of the brew cycle, the coffee explodes out like a volcano. The lid prevents this. In summary, I love my moka pot. It is a piece of functional art that allows me to brew "almost espresso" at the drop of a hat very quickly. UPDATE Dec 18, 2024 - I am using this pot regularly and love it. As I mentioned above, my order for these filters finally came in. I ordered that because another reviewer recommended them and I am sorry I did. I put this on top of the grinds and wet it lightly, but I didn't like the results. First of all, the coffee came out exactly as it always did and there was still some sediment in the bottom of the brewed coffee. Secondly, the pot ran hot and steamy. I may try these filters one more time but I honestly wish I never ordered those filters for this pot. It was a waste of money to me not to mention the scariness of having the pot run under more pressure than expected.
