How to make a good coffee using the Bialetti coffee maker?
Recently I bought the Bialetti coffee maker (http://www.davidmellordesign.com/acatalo... ), hoping it would save my mornings. But it's not working the way I expected.
Since I just started to drink coffee and my taste is not "refined" yet - Starbuck is mydefinition of good coffee - I would like to get some help or tips in how to make a good coffee using this machine.
cheers
Answers:
I've used one of these for years and find a darker roast works the best but not Espresso.
Use a medium to coarse grind coffee (Fine grind does not work) and buy whole beans.
Use a Medium to High heat on stove (~8)
Fill the filter with the coffee but dont pack it down
Never wash it, only rinse with water. Washing with soap breaks down the natural seal that is formed with regular use.
You have to use it for at least a week before the seal is formed. I'm on my third and they have all taken at least this long to work in.
Enjoy
