Premium aluminum construction, cool-touch handle, safety pressure valve, traditional octagon shape… what’s not to love about this stovetop maker?
Stovetop coffee makers, as the name suggests, are pots that you can use on your stove to brew coffee. The most popular method of stovetop coffee making is by using the Moka Pot, which makes espresso-like coffee right on your stove. These stovetop espresso makers generate steam and then use this pressure to push the water through the grounds to extract the flavorful Java goodies.
You can notice that we’re in love with the Moka Pot by simply glancing at our product list.
Another great stovetop coffee maker is the percolator. Percolators work by cycling boiling water through grounds of coffee with the help of gravity. This is an old-fashioned brewing method, and I say old-fashioned because it was almost completely replaced with the rise of the drip makers in the 70s. But, while you can rarely see this maker on someone’s stovetop, percolators are still pretty popular with campers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Stovetop coffee makers – the Moka pot, especially – are a staple in the Italian kitchen. However, when it comes to the western coffee-drinking culture, the needs are different.
We love anything automatic that can do all the work for us. Not so much because we are too lazy to do it ourselves, but because we live in an Instant world. Who has time for brewing in the morning, really? If you share this opinion, let me at least try to convince you why you should join the Italian way and get yourself a stovetop maker:
The best thing about brewing coffee with a stovetop maker is that there is little guesswork involved. You just have to figure out your preferred water-to-coffee ratio, and let your Moka pot do the rest for you:
Although you need no more than warm water to rinse off after every brew, it is wise to also use soft dishwasher liquid when cleaning your stovetop maker, at least every other day. This will prevent ground leftovers from turning rancid.
After each cleaning, make sure to leave your maker to dry completely.
But, just like with all appliances, your stovetop maker will require a deeper descaling every once in a while. The best solution? Vinegar, of course! Just mix two parts of water and one part of white vinegar, pour the solution inside your Moka pot, and let it brew as usual. Once the bubbles appear, remove from heat and clean with warm soapy water. Make sure to rinse well to get rid of any vinegary aftertaste. And voila! Your stovetop is as good as new!
Which one of our selected stovetop coffee makers did you like the best? Whether small or large in capacity, they all bring flavorful punches and deeply aromatic notes for every taste. We hope that we were at least able to convince you to give this brewing method a try. Happy bubbly-coffee making, everyone!
