For a Moka Express or any stovetop coffee maker, you'll need finely ground coffee specifically made for espresso or Moka pot brewing. Here are a few key points to consider when choosing coffee for your Moka Express:

Coffee Beans: It's recommended to use whole coffee beans and grind them yourself for the freshest flavour. Look for high-quality coffee beans that are suited for espresso brewing or labelled specifically for Moka pots.

Fine Grind: The coffee for Moka pot should be ground to a fine consistency, similar to table salt or granulated sugar. This finer grind allows for proper extraction during the brewing process.

Freshness: To achieve the best flavour, use freshly roasted coffee beans and grind them just before brewing. Coffee begins to lose its freshness and flavour shortly after grinding, so it's ideal to consume it within a few weeks.

Experiment and Taste Preference: Coffee flavour profiles can vary widely, so it's worth trying different types and blends to find the ones you enjoy the most. Some people prefer a dark roast for a stronger and bolder flavour, while others may prefer a medium or light roast for a more nuanced taste.

Remember, personal taste preferences play a significant role in choosing the coffee for your Moka Express. Feel free to explore various coffee origins, blends, and roasts until you find the perfect balance and flavour that suits your palate.

Some of Bialetti's stovetop coffee makers are not compatible with induction stoves as they are made of aluminium rather than stainless steel. However, Bialetti have released a range that is compatible with all hob types! Head to the website navigation to discover the full range of induction-friendly stovetop coffee pots.
