In Australia, the moka pot was traditionally used by Italian migrants who arrived mostly after the Second World War. By 2000 the moka had become popular in the homes of many Australians. Today it is quite popular at breakfast time; often Australians will add the brew to a mug and top up with either water off the boil or warmed milk. [ citation needed] The heating of the boiler (A) leads to a gradual increase of the pressure due to both the expansion of the enclosed air and the raised vapor pressure of the increasingly heated water. When pressure becomes high enough to force the water up the funnel through the coffee grinds, coffee will begin to pour into the upper chamber (C). Espresso and classic drink Wiki".

However, a typical moka coffee is extracted at relatively low pressures of 1 to 2bar (100 to 200kPa), [10] while standards for espresso coffee specify a pressure of 9bar (900kPa). Therefore, moka coffee is not considered to be an espresso and has different flavor characteristics. [ clarify] [15] [16] Variations and brands [ edit ]

About BIALETTI

All brewed coffee flavor depends greatly on bean variety, roast level, fineness of grind, water profile, and the level of heat used. The Moka pot is no different. which relies on vapor pressure created by heating water to drive it through the coffee grounds, and thence brewed coffee into the upper chamber. [8] The potential for toxic amounts of aluminium migration being created by brewing an acidic beverage in an aluminium pot have been scientifically investigated, and determined to be "negligible" – falling below 1% of recommended total weekly intake level once a new pot has been used. [14] Following the pot's stabilization at below 1% with regular use, migration rose to a maximum observed level of just under 4% after a dishwasher cleaning, resulting in dishwasher use being strongly discouraged.
