Pezzetti Italexpress Aluminium Moka Pot - 6 Cup

This is the 6 cup sized Moka pot from Pezzetti.  In other words - the large one!  Italians make great coffee brewing equipment.  It's a shame that their coffees however tend to be over-roasted and burnt.  But that's for a future blog perhaps.  If you like your coffee dark - and who doesn't occasionally - then these high quality Moka Pots are perfect.  Their octagonal design diffuses heat evenly to enhance the aroma and taste of the coffee.

If you refer to the 3 cup version where we extolled the virtues of this Moka.  So, we're not going to repeat ourselves here.  Suffice to say - great design, creating great espresso coffee.  Just make sure you do it justice by using the right coffee and the right grind level. 

Anything other than a medium or dark roast really isn't designed for espresso.  It's espresso - you want intense, you want dark, you want to feel Italian drinking it.  A fruity, bright East African isn't going to cut it.  Anything other than espresso grind will be too course, your coffee will not extract properly and you'll be left with muddy water.  We recommend our Captain's Blend espresso grind.
