What grind size should I use for a moka pot?

Aim for something between espresso and drip—like fine sand or table salt. Too fine and you'll get bitter, over-extracted coffee; too coarse and the brew will be weak and sour.

Why does my moka pot coffee taste bitter?

Bitterness usually comes from over-extraction: grind too fine, water too hot, or letting the brew run past the blond point. Try a slightly coarser grind and stop the brew earlier.

Can I use RAMI Coffee in a moka pot?

Absolutely. RAMI Coffee's medium roast is versatile enough for moka pot brewing—its balanced acidity and caramel notes shine through without becoming harsh.

How much coffee should I put in a moka pot?

Fill the basket level, but don't tamp. That's usually around 15–18 grams for a 3-cup pot, depending on your grind. Adjust to your taste.

Should I use hot or cold water in the bottom chamber?

Start with room temperature or slightly warm water. Boiling water can scorch the grounds and make the brew bitter. The moka pot will heat it quickly enough.
