Haven't really used a mocha pot before, so I'm experimenting a little to find the right grind settings and ratios for my taste. Normally brew espresso on a flair classic. Went with this more modern design from bialetti because it also works on induction stoves.

This has the added benefit of being induction stove compatible, so your coffee brews faster and without burning up the beans.

Yeah the ability to be used on induction is exactly the reason I bought it. I didn't want to bother with the induction plate add-on for the aluminium ones.

I have the plate and while it works, it sucks. It slows down heat transfer considerably.

Add a bit of oil as a "thermal paste"/interface between the adapter and the pot. I use a tiny frying pan as an adapter for my Turkish cevze and it's night and day.

Interesting. But I don’t know I’d be willing to add to the cleaning routine.

I mean, it's just a quick soapy sponge wipe and you should clean your moka pot after each use anyway.

Cleaning the pot is done with water alone, so I can do fine. Anything with soap rubs my eczema the wrong way.
