FAQs
How do I clean the IBILI Evva Express Moka Pot?
Hand wash all parts with warm water and mild soap after each use. Ensure it is completely dry before storing. Do not use abrasive cleaners or put it in the dishwasher.
What type of coffee grind should I use?
A medium grind is typically recommended for moka pots. Too fine a grind can clog the filter, and too coarse a grind will result in weak coffee.
Is this moka pot safe for induction cooktops?
Yes, the IBILI Evva Express Moka Pot features a full induction stainless steel base, making it fully compatible with induction cooktops.
How many cups does the 600 ml capacity represent?
The 600 ml capacity is equivalent to approximately 12 standard Italian espresso cups (which are smaller than typical Western coffee cups).
Can I replace the silicone gasket?
Yes, the silicone gasket is replaceable. If it shows signs of wear or damage, a new one can be fitted to ensure a proper seal.
Why does my coffee sputter at the end?
Some sputtering is normal as the last bit of water boils and pushes through the grounds. However, excessive sputtering indicates the coffee may be over-extracted. Remove it from the heat just as the coffee flow becomes lighter and bubbly.
Troubleshooting
Coffee tastes weak or watery
Ensure the coffee grounds are not too coarse, the filter funnel is filled adequately (but not tamped), and the top and bottom chambers are screwed together tightly to prevent steam leaks.
Coffee tastes burnt or bitter
Reduce the heat level. Remove the moka pot from the heat as soon as the coffee reaches the upper chamber and before it begins to sputter loudly. Do not over-extract.
Water leaking from the base
Check if the top and bottom chambers are screwed on tightly. Inspect the silicone gasket for damage or debris and ensure it is seated correctly.
Handle feels loose
If the handle becomes loose, it can be replaced. Ensure you have a compatible replacement handle and follow instructions for secure attachment.
