The GROSCHE Milano is out best selling series of Stovetop Espresso coffee makers. These type of coffee percolators are also called Moka pots, and are an authentic Italian style of brewing coffee. These moka pot coffee makers make a rich, creamy, and chocolatey coffee that is more dense thatn regular drip coffee makers, french presses, or pour over. Their cup sizing is in espresso cup sizes - not regular coffee mugs. So a 6 cup coffee moka pot will brew 6 espresso cups, and so forth. The Milano moka expresso coffee makers use fine grind coffee beans and are compatible with a variety of stove tops. The aluminium moka pots dont work with Induction stoves, while the Stainless Steel espresso makers are induction compatible. We recommend hand washing for all moka pots. How to make moka coffee: 1. Add water to just below the safety valve. 2. Add fine ground coffee to the coffee funnel, filling it completely. Dont tamp or compress the coffee.3. Screw on the top chamber till its snug, ensuring the safety silicone seal is present under the top chamber. Place on stove top on low to medium heat. In around 4-6 minutes your water will bubble up through the coffee and your moka expresso coffee will be in the top chamber. Remove from heat and pour into your cup. Precautions and care: Moka pots should always be hand washed - the Aluminium versions will get damaged in dishwashers - Aluminium moka pots are NOT DISHWASHER SAFE. The black stainless steel and brushed stainless steel moka pots can be placed in a dishwasher. Always keep the lid closed while brewing for safety.
