How to Make Stovetop Espresso, Moka Coffee
- Firstly remove the top part and the filter funnel of the coffee maker and fill the bottom chamber with fresh water. Make sure not to fill past the safety valve. TIP: Preheat your water before filling the boiler to make your brewing process faster and more consistent!
- Then fill the filter funnel with freshly ground espresso coffee. Once that’s done, put the filter funnel back into the lower part of the MILANO STONE and screw the top part back on. We recommend the Smooth silver espresso as our favorite coffee for making Italian style moka coffee.
- Next, put the MILANO STONE on your stove on a low-medium flame setting. Turn the stove down when coffee bubbles up from the filter funnel and into the upper section. The gurgling sound will have stopped indicating the coffee is ready
- Finally, remove the MILANO STONE from your stovetop and serve. You can drink the coffee as a strong, flavourful espresso like coffee or use as a base for a cappuccino.
