Though it may seem complex, brewing a genuine espresso using the Moka is actually quite simple.
Add water to the bottom section, then place the filter on top and fill it with finely ground coffee (avoid tamping or pressing the coffee). Carefully screw the top part of the Moka and place it on a stovetop at low heat. Once the top chamber is almost full, and the gurgling sound becomes more intense, remove it from the stovetop and enjoy!
Not all Italians are stupid, it is well known to the public in Italy that this kind of cofee machine made with alluminum releases significant amounts of aluminum in the coffe, the metal will accumulate in the body. Regular use of moka like that will probably pose a health hazard. Even if Bialetti claims that the amount of aluminum releases in a single cup of coffe is very small.
C’mon smart Italians use stainless steel mokas, other had their brain functions already damaged by aluminum …
