Why your Moka pot tastes bad

JAN 4, 2021 UPDATE: WAIT, I I can't believe you preheated the water! Watch my follow up video where I specifically address this in-depth: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jcgMeDDAT-s

Here's a paper claiming on the basis of physics and a 93C temperature extraction that you want to preheat your water to 70C: http://www.msc.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~phyexp/uploads/Moka/article1.pdf. So consider that too.

Also, I know! You hate my piano and it’s too loud. I have already become a lot more careful with my sound levels in the future videos. Thank you for letting me know.

Moka pots have a bad reputation among Americans, but done correctly, you can get a quality brew without the bitter taste.
