Guide to make coffee on a mokapot

[pressurecooker]

I want to make coffee.

I hear there's something called mokapot.

I hear there is something called pre-ground coffee that I can buy that's like table salt size for moka pot fit. (Can't I just use the usual Nescafe gold coffee powder? What's the difference if moka pot doesn't directly accepts beans and I've to grind the beans to make coffee. I mean I will try buying a better grinded beans from near me instead of Nescafe which is instant coffee)

I am seeking for recommendations. I am a new coffee drinker. I drink milk coffee. And I even like Nescafe instant coffee made by bakery in Lalitpur,Nepal. I was surprised when they told they were making Nescafe coffee and it wasn't beans lol. It was so good.

For clarification, a moka pot is not a brand. Its a type of coffee making device.

Hi, welcome!

If I understand your questions correctly, you’re asking about using an instant coffee in a mokapot - since instant coffee is designed to dissolve, that’s probably what would happen. You’d be going to a lot more trouble and time just to make instant coffee.

The grind size you’re looking for when using a mokapot is a medium-fine grind - sort of like sand or table salt, I suppose. If you’re buying beans from a coffeehouse and they’re grinding it for you, just tell them you want it for a mokapot and they should know the grind for that (I’d assume).

Anyway…I’m no coffee expert, so others on here may correct me, but one the rare occasions I use a mokapot, that’s how I grind it.

Good luck!

The rubber gasket that seals the two parts when they're screwed together will last longer if you flip it each time.

What you know as a mokapot is called a Greco (Greek) over here. Super easy to use and very durable.
Water in the bottom part, up to the valve hole. Coffee filter on top, and fill with as much fresh, ground coffee as you wish. If you just put in a spoon or so, your coffee will be on the weak side. If you pack down the coffee inside the filter, you'll get strong, expresso type coffee.If you're using (ready toasted) coffee beans, then you will need to get yourself a coffee grinder. Using instant coffee in a mokapot is simply a waste of time, because instant just needs hot water, whereas in the mokapot, your coffee is infused by the hot water.
If you want to add milk and sugar, go ahead. Purists will drink their coffee without either, but I can';t take that
