Hand wash all parts with warm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembling. Avoid abrasive cleaners and dishwashers.
What type of coffee grind should I use?
A medium grind is generally recommended for moka pots. Avoid very fine espresso grinds, which can clog the filter, or coarse grinds, which may result in weak coffee.
Can I use this on a gas stove?
Yes, this coffee maker is suitable for gas, electric, and ceramic hobs, as well as induction.
How long does it take to brew coffee?
Brewing typically takes between 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the heat intensity of your stovetop.
What is the total volume of the coffee maker?
The coffee maker has a total volume of 830 ml, which yields approximately 12 standard coffee cups.
Is the handle heat-resistant?
Yes, the handle is made of heat-resistant Bakelite to ensure a safe and comfortable grip while brewing.
What does 'Interior without edges' mean for cleaning?
This design feature means the inside of the boiler is smooth and seamless, making it much easier to clean out coffee grounds and residue compared to traditional moka pots with more pronounced internal seams.
Troubleshooting
Coffee maker does not produce coffee.
Ensure the coffee maker is securely assembled and placed correctly on the heat source. Check that the water level is adequate and the coffee is not too finely ground or compacted in the filter.
Coffee tastes weak or watery.
Use a medium grind coffee. Ensure the coffee is not overflowing the filter basket and that the coffee maker is assembled tightly to prevent steam leaks.
Coffee maker is difficult to unscrew after brewing.
Allow the coffee maker to cool slightly before attempting to unscrew. Ensure the threads are clean and free of coffee grounds.
Aluminum exterior is discolored.
Discoloration can occur with prolonged use. Clean with a mild abrasive (like baking soda paste) and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Induction hob not heating the coffee maker.
Verify that your hob is compatible with induction and that the coffee maker's base (11.5 cm) is suitable for the hob's heating zone size. Ensure the hob is set to an appropriate power level.
