06

The coffee will start to bubble up and your moka pot will make a puffing sound. The coffee will look dark to begin with and will become lighter in colour as the brew progresses. Once the colour turns a honey yellow, remove the moka pot from the heat and use a towel or oven gloves to close the lid (it will be hot!).

Run cold water over the base of your moka pot for 10 seconds, making sure you’re still protecting yourself by holding it in a towel or by wearing oven gloves. The cold water will stop the coffee from over-extracting.
