How to Make Stove Top Coffee

Stove top brewing, also known as Moka pot brewing, is a traditional and time-honoured method for making rich and robust coffee. Need to know how to use a stove top? In this comprehensive brewing guide on how to make stove top coffee, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of making stove top coffee, allowing you to enjoy a bold and satisfying cup of coffee with distinct character and depth.

What You’ll Need:

  • Stove top coffee maker (Moka pot)
  • CoffeeHype coffee beans
  • Coffee grinder
  • Kettle or hot water source
  • Scale
  • Timer
  • Coffee mug

Step 1: Prepare Your Equipment

Start by disassembling your stove top coffee maker. Fill the bottom chamber with hot water up to the valve, ensuring not to exceed the maximum fill line. Insert the filter basket and fill it with finely ground coffee beans. Reassemble the coffee maker, making sure all parts are securely tightened.

Step 2: Heat and Brew

Place the stove top coffee maker on a stove burner set to medium heat. Ensure the handle is positioned away from the heat source. Allow the water in the bottom chamber to heat up, creating pressure that pushes the water through the coffee grounds. Keep the lid open during this process.

Step 3: Monitor the Brew

As the water heats up, it will gradually rise through the coffee grounds and fill the top chamber with brewed coffee. Keep a close eye on the process and listen for a hissing or gurgling sound, which indicates that the brewing is complete. This usually takes about 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 4: Remove from Heat and Serve

Once the brewing is complete, carefully remove the stove top coffee maker from the heat source. Using a towel or oven gloves to protect your hands, pour the brewed coffee into a coffee mug, being cautious of the hot temperature. Stir the coffee gently to ensure the flavours are well distributed.

Step 5: Clean and Enjoy

After enjoying your stove top coffee, disassemble the coffee maker and rinse all the parts with warm water. Avoid using soap as it can affect the flavour of future brews. Allow the parts to air dry thoroughly before reassembling for future use.
