To save ourselves a step in this preparation because we may not have much time, we heat the quality mineral water and fill the coffee maker tank. As we know we do this up to just below the valve.
It’s a great tip to heat the water first, to prevent the ground coffee beans from getting too hot before brewing.
Otherwise the coffee could burn slightly, ruining its aroma and flavour. Furthermore, a much more bitter coffee would be produced.
3) Fill the cup or funnel with coffee
We will fill the funnel, holding it with our hand, before placing it on the base. But with great care and delicacy without pressing, unlike automatic coffee makers with moka, it is not necessary to compact the ground coffee.
It is essential to level the excess coffee with a knife or spoon, then we clean what remains on the edges of the pot. A brush will be enough to carry out this task and finally we place it over the hot water.
