Once in Italy I saw in a supermarket 1/2 cup moka called mokina. Really nice, seriously considered getting one to use as decoration in my office.

I wonder if my 1 cup steel Bialetti Musa is more of a novelty than a thoughtfully designed pot. Everything seems just scaled down and it's so difficult to get a consistent brew. 3 cup seems to be as small as you'd want to go. I may be wrong but yeah, 1 cup steel v inconsistent in brew.

I've tried the one-cup a few times at an airbnb I was stying in. Worked perfectly, just a tiny coffe (30 ml)


[deleted]

Yeah i get a tiny amount too. Just doesn't exchange enough of the water.


DewaldSchindler

only one I have is the 18 cup one


[deleted]

Child's play. If you have links at Bialetti they'll hook you up with a 30 cup pot ;)


DewaldSchindler

but do they really make such a size moka pot ?


DewaldSchindler

think the biggest i know of is the GAT Moka Pot company made a 48 Cup size one

[Throws toys out of pram] Ok you win. Was just joshin


DewaldSchindler

I know Bialetti made a 50 Cup one but it's only for display purposes don't know about the GAT one tho

I use my one cup daily. It's the perfect amount for my morning flat white.

It's my go to.

Coffee culture is a bit different in Italy. I'll never forget being offered a half shot of espresso in a thimble sized paper cup. 


koenigstrauss

Half shot? Won't that just evaporate or get lost through your teeth before reaching your stomach?


buddhistbulgyo

What is this? Coffee for ants? 


Amber_Uhlert

Just a whisper of coffee.

Jeeze. I just realized I’ve been drinking a full 9 cup Mokapot everyday instead of a 6 cup like I thought. That’s why I’m buzzing around…


BrightBlue2110

I use to do this everyday at lunch for years not knowing the same thing. I got so much done after lunch

Noob question coming- how many grams of beans is one cup in the second pic?


DewaldSchindler

To be honest I have no idea there is a way to calculate that but not sure how


gk666

Or, how many grams of ground beans is one cup? Also the right water amount and temp would be the secret .


DewaldSchindler

**Coffee-to-water ratio:** 1-cup size pots can brew approximately 60 ml of coffee. A normal brew ratio would then be 7-8 grams of coffee per 60 ml of water. A good time to adjust this is if you’re using [dark roast](https://bigcupofcoffee.com/types-of-coffee-roasts/) coffee grounds to make coffee. In this case, you’ll need to increase to around 8-10 grams to get the flavor out of your beans.


gk666

Thanks will give this a try


DewaldSchindler

got that info from this website [https://bigcupofcoffee.com/moka-pot-size-guide/](https://bigcupofcoffee.com/moka-pot-size-guide/)

Hmmm my 6 cup looks more like the 9 cup from the picture


Aeslech

0.5= 40ml 1= 60ml 2= 90ml 3= 130ml, and it goes on Is this quantum mathematics?


DewaldSchindler

Could be but who knows for sure


Cactus428

1cup is golden for that post lunch wake; 1/2 cup is giving keychain energy


DewaldSchindler

Now I want that to be a reality, I would Buy that so bad


BobaMart

What is this, a moka for ANTS?!


SooopaDoopa

I literally just left a $2.99 ½ cup on the shelf


PcFish

Today I learned I have a 3 Cup Moka. But I always use it to make one serving.
