Arabian Coffee Moka Pot

Arabian Coffee Moka Pot

Ingredients:

  • Water.
  • Any Silk Spice coffee blend you like

Preparation:

  • Pre heat the water
  • Add the heated water and fill to the line in the bottom of the brewer.
  • Insert the filter basket into the brewer bottom.
  • Fill the basket with coffee, slightly mounded, and level the surface off with your finger.
  • Screw the top and bottom together. Use hot pads and don’t over tighten.
  • Put the brewer on the stove, use moderate heat and make sure that the handle is not subjected to heat. Leave the top lid open.
  • The coffee will begin to come out and you will hear a puffing sound and see a rich-brown stream that will get progressively lighter in color. Once the stream is the color of yellow honey, remove from heat source with hot pads and close the lid.
  • Wrap the bottom of the pot in a chilled bar towel or run under cold tap water to stop extraction. We do this to prevent the coffee from developing a metallic taste. The idea here is to get a relatively small amount of coffee which is very concentrated and rich.
  • As soon as the coffee stops bubbling out, pour it into cups or a carafe. You may wish to dilute with hot water depending on preference.

Good luck!
