Coffee Connoisseur (Bialetti Moka)
ash_hammond - 24/8/11 at 12:16 PM

Gents,

I preusme there must be some coffee connoisseur in the group.

I have a bialette stove top moka express.

Some people have a little filter that sits over the place where the expresso comes out.

Any idea what this "filter" is called?

Mine never came with ome and I think it stops splashing and improves the crema on the brewed coffee.

Thanks

Ash

not a fan of instant either although that instant whole bean stuff is ok if you have to...
Nescafe is just disgusting

black tea is the way forward

Hi Ash,
I run one of those (or a clone) but there's no filter on the pouring spout on mine.
There are two perforated discs within it, basically the top and bottom of the chamber containing the ground coffee.
It doesn't make espresso - that requires pressure; around 10 bar to do it properly.
'Instant' coffee is .... ugh!!!
Never, ever, mix milk and coffee!
Cheers,
John.

Tea is for gentlemen, coffee is for cowboys.

No filter on the spout of mine either... And I get a reasonable crema for a low pressure system...

Instant coffee isn't coffee, it's a hot cafine filled drink. No more.

Real men also roast their own beans...!

And I bet they grind them between their bum cheeks too.

Nah - real men only drink coffee that has been eaten by a cat and crapped out its arse. Mmmmmm.

Seriously

Tried a cup of coffee at 14 - hated it, after a long gap tried another cup at 61 - still hated it. Same applied to tea so I will stick to tap water or Wine, Beer and Brandy & Coke.
