Equipment

  • Moka Pot
  • Milk Frother

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups milk 3.8%, for best flavour
  • 30 grams coffee dark roast
  • 2 cups boiling water

Instructions

  • Put on your kettle. You will need enough water to fill the bottom chamber of your Moka pot. (In my Moka pot this is 1 ½ cups of water)
  • Heat the milk in a separate pot on medium heat until bubbles start around the edges.
  • Grind 30 grams or enough coffee to fill your filter and tightly pack. To pack the filter pour a little in and push it down and then do this again and again till the filter is full.
  • Pour the hot water into the Moka pot’s lower chamber, up to the same metal steam valve.
  • Then place the filter inside and screw on the top (the bottom will be hot so use an oven mitt).
  • Put the Moka pot on high heat and wait until you hear the coffee coming through the filter. Monitor it until it begins to hiss and then watch closely until no more coffee is coming out. Then remove from the heat.
  • Pour your espresso in a mug and then top with the hot milk. I suggest a 1:4, espresso to ratio but try what feels best to you (I like it strong)!
