What is a Moka pot?
A Moka pot is a type of stovetop coffee brewer, which produces coffee by passing boiling water pressurized by steam through coffee grounds. It was invented in 1933 by Alfonso Bialetti in Italy, and has become a symbol of Italian culture ever since.
What Coffee Drinks Can You Make With a Moka Pot?
You can make several different types of coffee drinks with a moka pot, including:
- Espresso – This is the classic drink that the moka pot is known for, and it has a strong, bitter flavor.
- Americano – This is a weaker version of espresso, often made with added hot water.
- Cappuccino – This is a traditional Italian coffee drink, usually comprising espresso and steamed or frothed milk.
- Latte – This is another popular Italian drink, consisting of espresso and steamed milk with a layer of foam on top.
Can You Put Milk In A Moka Pot?
No, you should not put milk directly into a moka pot. The pressure from the boiling water in the moka pot could cause the milk to curdle or burn, resulting in an unpleasant taste. Instead, if you want a drink like cappuccino or latte, you should steam or froth the milk separately and then add it to the espresso produced by the moka pot.
