Have you used a Moka Pot? 

☕️ Have you ever used one of these?!

“Oh that’s why they close it” inbetween screams lol had to rewatch

It’s a novel thing to use it at home, but while camping it is an essential if you want to make good strong coffee. A french press works too but I prefer the percolator.

"UK mood" lmao that's literally how we make coffee in Italy. Also you should never use dish soap to clean it, just wash it with very hot water. Otherwise it would ruin the flavour of the coffee. Also add more coffee powder

This is my dads favorite way to make coffee

This video hurts in so many different ways.

If you really wanna get into a "UK mood" then try getting yourself a nice teapot or tea infuser. Most high streets have a few shops that sell them as well as an assortment of tea leaves including local and more unique blends. Just boil some water in the kettle and add it to the tea pot with your leaves, just dont try heating it over the hob.

In the Dominican Republic we call that a "Grekka". And yes we all make our coffee ☕ this way.

I didn't even know these had a name. My grandma is in her 80's and uses one of these everyday for her coffee. I just called it old coffee pot

I screamed when it fell

Cold water+ more coffee powder+ don't use dish soap. And close it when you put it on the stove.

"I'm in the UK mood" for some spaghetti carbonara.

uh am speechless. (also mokka is a completely different drink from espresso so it's weird to call it "espresso-like" lol)

We have two a big one and a smaller one for traveling.

When she said it gave "the I'm the in UK mood" when it's Italian made me LOL! The real "I'm in the UK mood" is a cup of tea 😅

“UK mood” The entirety of Latin America +Italians: *hides Greca *

"... UK mood" Italians : "If my grandmother had wheels, she woulda been a bike"

The screams. So glad you are okay omg

"I'm in the UK mood" *Facepalms in Italian*

“I’m in the Uk mood” Italians and Cubans: “what am I a roach?!”

"Best coffee brewing technique". Proceeds to use a blade grinder. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard.

"have you ever used a moka pot?" me, an Italian: excuse me?

“UK Mood”, well yeah it’s fancy and all… although It is Italian, you’ll see it EVERYWHERE in Latin America, specially in Colombia 😂

Here in italy this is basically the only way you make coffee at home, and there's a very important hospitality culture around it. My mother has four different moka pots of different sizes so she can always make the right amount of coffee for the number of guests we have, cause it's basically mandatory to ask your guests if they want some coffee, especially after a meal or during the afternoon. Also it's kinda adorable how she was like "the coffee is so bitter!" "How do I use this thing??". I've been using moka pots since I was like 10 y/O cause my mother would always send me to make coffee while she chatted with guests. Also yeah, coffee made this way is more rich and strong in taste than American coffee (which is pretty bland) so it's understandable that it may be a little strange for you to drink. It's the reason I don't really drink coffee, too

As an Italian I'm quite wtf'd about the "UK mood", I mean we use this everyday in almost all houses in Italy

As an Italian that "UK mood?!" Killed me, that's 100% Italian

Her : "UK mood" Every Italian ever: What did she seeeeeeyyyyyy

Every Dominican watching this is like ma’am, we use this literally everyday.

Just a note, when they say coarser than espresso, on most home grinders the smallest setting is coarser than espresso, so you can go with that. Your grind looks big enough for pour over, which is a no no here. Also, burr grinders are preferred over blade because blade grinders don't grind evenly

As a spanish person- This is the standard way to make coffee in the morning, but y'know... we add sugar and milk to it-💀💀💀

I’m Dominican and this is literally the only way we make our coffee. We call it greca. It makes the best coffee 🤤

"I'm in the UK mood" Me, from the UK, have never seen one of these... ever

I love when influencers almost damage items or injure themselves doing the simplest shit cause they’re trying to film it.

"Have you used a moka pot?" *Sighs in Puertorican* almost everyone and their grandmother uses a Greca down here. (Yeah we call those pots Grecas)

Every Italian who witnessed you using soap to wash your pot is now face palming

You need to add more coffee grounds and don't press down on them, otherwise the coffee will be weak and bitter. Unlike an espresso machine a Moka Pot isn't made to exert pressure on packed coffee grounds You also want to take it off the heat before it starts spurting And never wash it with soap

"UK mood" I was born in Britain, lived there for 12 years and never seen one

The start is hilariously similar to my first time using one of those- my parents were out and my sister came down when she heard it hit the floor- she was so done with me-

This video got you a "lifetime-ban from Italy" Mood

When I'm not in a hurry I go 70% French press and 30% Moka Pot. Moka takes forever on my electric burners so....French press wins (unless I'm using my Keurig)

"That's such a novel thing, I'm totally in the UK mood" The Moka pot was invented in 1933 by an italian... But my parents have one as deco, it's cool to see how it's used XD

"Put me in the whole, 'Im in the UK' mood" Tell me you don't know what you're talking about without telling me you don't know what you're talking about

As someone from England "I'm in the UK mood" practically killed me. That's not from the uk! We use kettles not *espresso* makers. That's italian... Espresso is Italian. Also I think it's common sense to close the lid or maybe not?

Me, a Dominican: **using this everyday**

This is the traditional way of making coffee in the Dominican Republic as well, coffee taste amazing 😌

These pots don’t stay shiny for very long. Whatever alloy they use turns gray, then black. Get a stainless steel model.

Some advices on moka from an Italian: Never wash your moka with soap, coffee leaves a sort of patina on the aluminum that prevents the metal flavour, so use just water. The coffee grain should be smaller, in Italy it is used a very powdery coffee, the same (circa) used in an espresso machine. Water should be put in at room temperature reaching the middle of the valve. Coffee should be filling entirely its little department but should not be pressed while filling it with the spoon. And to prevent spillage or burning coffee once you hear a sort of whistle/ loud bubbling you should remove it from the stove, the residual warmth will continue to make the coffee go to the upper chamber without ruining it!!! I think that's all! Hope to be helpful!!!

I ll never get tired of Americans treating the simplest things like fancy space science

Those are Cuban and Italian not British 😂😂😂 try using Cafe bustela in the yellow packaging and pour the super hot espresso over sugar in the raw and you got one of my favorite drinks Cuban crack

"What about you?" Every italian: you dont use a moka pot?

As a Dominican that’s basically what we use our whole lives 😭🇩🇴

I’m Cuban and this is the only device we use to make coffee, we call it a “colada” go to any bakery or restaurant in Miami Florida and that’s what they make “cuban coffee” with, it’s heavily addicting 😂

Growing up in Italy means it’s crazy to me that not everyone has at least a couple of these at home 👀

When I first saw this My Dominican ass said “why the top open????” But if you ever see this you should try Bustelo coffee

My cuban ass is having a fit that she called it a "mocha pot" qué coño es un "mocha pot" also there is no "uk mood" its a cuban mood

“I’m in the UK mood” Girly- As a Puerto Rican, I can assure you, it a l l depends on what coffee you’re using. I know plenty of places in the world that make coffee like this-

Her: “put me in a UK mood” Me, an Italian-American: “Che cosa?”

To up your coffee game: get a burr grinder. Blade grinders are not optimal (and useless). With ceramic burrs you'll have a consistant grind size and thus a better extraction

‘Im in the UK mood’ Love, youre thinking of a Bloody kettle, a Moka is Italian. *plonker*

Here’s a tip: NEVER wash it with soap after you’ve used it the more you brew the better the coffee only rinse with water also you brew and dump about 4 times with a new Greka before you drink it. That’s what we call it in DR 🇩🇴 Good Luck! (Also this makes regular coffee just add less grinds) 👍🏽

You really do need to heat the pot on a lower temperature so it doesn't boil over like that (listen to those videos) except MAYBE at the very end. A low-very low flame and a bit of patience does wonders. It also leads to fewer grounds in your coffee. Also, be sure to run the bottom part of the pot under cold tap water, removing it from the flame before it finishes, just as the stream is turning white and bubbly. Fewer grounds and unpleasant tastes that way. If it starts to boil over and bubble violently, you are overdue to remove it from the flame and run the cold water down the sides of the bottom. Also, you can grind finer than what it tells you to in the instructions. I grind for Moka pot just a smidge above how I grind for espresso. Again, listen to the videos, you can go even finer than you showed in the video here. Assuming you do it right, this won't lead to an increase in grounds in the final product. If it ever starts always boiling violently no matter what you do, you may need to descale it, which simply means letting the pieces soak in diluted vinegar with warm water then scrubbing.

"I'm in the UK mood" Outraged Italian noises

Having owned one for a spell (but reverted to instant coffee because I'm lazy), a few grains of salt to the coffee grounds (like literally take a small pinch , and sprinkle a small bit of that small pinch then put the rest back/toss it over your shoulder) seemed to make a positive difference on acidity .

After seeing the moka being washed with soap my mood dropped, literally 😂

This is called "Moka" and was invented by the Italian Alfonso Bialetti. It is one of the most famous Italian product of technical design in the world. Make sure you buy an original Bialetti, they still produce it nowadays.

"Oh that's why they close it". I THINK THAT'S PRETTY MANDATORY FOR ANY POTS WITH A LID FOR BOILING STUFF.

I’m from PR this is one of two ways that coffee was ever made at home. I never knew anyone that had a coffee machine at home, not even the rich people. Lol. It’s called a percolator. Never heard it called a moka pot. Once coffee starts coming out the top, just immediately take it off the heat, it’ll continue to brew. No need to run it under cold water at all, which is not good for that metal anyway if it’s still hot. If you leave it in the stove past that, you’re just burning it and making the coffee bitter. Also, did you pour hot water in it before putting it on the stove? That’s a no no. And don’t wash it with soap either, just rinse it out.

Most Hispanics have used them long before Keurig and Nescafe. Usually Bustello Cafe is the best. The coffee using this pot is also m.ore concentrated, so be prepared for it tasting stronger than normal. Kona is also a great coffee for this kind of pot.

Definitely clicking don't recommend this channel

I’ve never made coffee any other way. My family is Dominican and my grandma swears on using these for coffee so she taught me how to do it too😎

It's called "cafetera" in My country, we use it in an everyday life.

My Italian Nonos made this for himself every day for his life until he was 99

Really thought it was a little dog barking and squeezing .. had to watch 3 times to confirm that it's not 😂 so no animals were harmed during the making of this video

I'm italian and we never wash the moka pot with soap, we just rinse it with water even after making espresso... this makes the coffee more and more tastefull with every espresso that you make... hope this helps moka beginners 😁

Hey girlie! I also really love the mokapot! Small tips to have a more enjoyable coffee experience with the mokapot, the coffee needs to fill up the container all the way to the top, do not pat it in, just level it off in the end. You need to fill the boiling water all the way till the beginning of the valve, but be careful not to cross the beginning of the valve as the hot water may come out from the sides as its brewing. Last tip, try placing it on the stove with very very very low heat, it should slowly get extracted, as it starts to actually boil, it’s time to take it off the stove and pour a little bit of cold water on the bottom of the mokapot before serving it! I hope this helps :)

“Oh that’s why they close it!” 😂

Moka pots can't make espresso coffee. That's who why have espresso machines 😅 Espresso coffe requieres about 10bar pressure, which is impossible on a moka... There are many ways to make coffee, but only espresso machines make espresso 🎉

I'm tunisian and literally almost everyone uses this, we don't really see it as that big of a deal tbh but glad u liked it!

This is the way my mom would brew cafe bustelo almost every morning before leaving for work. I’m glad you are excited in your discovery of this long tradition.

Don't drink the coffee you make the first time you use your moka: put the coffee in the bottom part and the grounds in the upper part and let it sit there until the following day. Then rinse and make your actual First coffee! Another tip is to never use soap, just rinse your moka and make sure you remove the grounds from the filter. Trust the Italians who only use moka for their coffee!

Pro tip: use stainless, not a cast aluminium pot - it's bad for you health, aluminium. Second tip: use an oven glove or kitchen towel to open the pot. This saves water.

"Oh that's why they close it!" Total learning moment

I don't know about anyone else but I'm English born & raised and I've never seen anyone use this contraption before. 😅 We either go for instant coffee or filter/drip coffee. My dad likes cafetière coffee and I use my trusty pump espresso machine.

in the Dominican Republic we use these instead of coffee makers, we call them “Grecas” and the best coffee is made from these ❤️

HAVE I EVER USED A MOKE POT!! only like 95% of the times I drink coffee at home!!

From an Italian: you are doing everything wrong. This isn’t a caffè espresso.

"I'm in the UK mood" As someone from the UK, I can confirm we do not use these, nor have I ever seen one in a store. We have cafetieres/French press but that's it 😅

We use this all the time in Latin America, it’s normal to use it here so couldn’t hold it to laugh a bit but no hate just didn’t know people didn’t use it as the same every were, Glad she ok :) 👍

her: "have you ever used a moka pot?" also her: *lets the lid out while the coffee is boiling*

I love mocha pots, my dad would always use those or a french press to make coffee on special occasions! Don't pat down the coffee though, idk why but I did it once and my dad was like noooooo 😂

UK? I've lived in the UK since I was born (2007) and I've never seen one of them ever we use kettles not a moka pot

These are normal in Latino households (at least Puerto Rican) My stepdad and my grandma use them every morning

"have you ever used a moka pot?" Yes, here in Italy we mostly only use moka pots. I have 2 at home, one smaller and one bigger, we use them depending how much coffe we want. Also a tip, don't wash the inside of your moka pot! It will make the coffee taste less metallic, and the coffee will taste better in general!

UK!? Definetly trying to get sacrificed by the Latinos, and Italians to the coffee gods 😂😂

As an italian I’ve been using one ever since I was a kid! I actually thought this was the only way of making coffee and everyone knew how to use it hahaha its curious to see that some people never heard about it when in italy it pretty much is the only way we make coffee

"UK mood"... I'm a 35 year old Brit and have *never* seen one of these over here 🤣.

In my bit of Eastern Europe this is the most basic way to make coffee, because it's cheap basically :D you don't have to buy an actual coffee machine. Everyone's grandma has one of these, it's not really considered fancy at all.

"I'm in the UK mood"? ... Don't tell the Italians 😅

Never seen one of these in my life, and I live in the UK!

"UK mood"? Sis no. The Moka was invented in Italy, and every household in Italy has AT LEAST one, not in the UK. Here in Italy we are literally taught as children how to use it. And let me tell you you're using it wrong. First of all: NEVER, and I say NEVER, wash it with soap. All you gotta do is quickly rinse it with water, leave the various pieces to dry and you're done. This way, with every use, the Moka develops a protective film inside, which saves your coffee from tasting like metal. Now for the actual coffee making part: the water, which should be room temperature, must reach the bolt but not overflow it, if you put too much water your coffee will be too diluted. Now, be generous with the coffee: you must create a little mountain where the coffee needs to be (here it must overflow the container rim), and absolutely, for God's sake, do not press, or even touch, that coffee mountain. Screw the top and the bottom together, put the Moka on the smallest stove you got and with the flame on at its minimum. With the lid strictly closed, wait until you hear first bubble, and then almost nothing, because it'll mean the coffee has stopped rising. Serve it hot and enjoy.
