I bought a Moka Pot

Okay, well I bought a Moka Pot on Amazon (I know, I know but I was in a hurry and not trying to buy anything fancy for trial runs)

Anywho, it showed up timely as most Prime packages do so I was excited to get started, I had already bought a fresh package of Cafe Buselo for this exactly experiment. I was kind of bummed that the first brew, according to the manufacturer, should be tossed out but I am also not trying to drink anything I shouldn’t in my coffee.

That being said it was an experience immersed in stress and hilarity. I did not know I could keep the top open to see when the pot starts to percolate so I kept trying to peer into the top through the pour spout. Yes, I did that. Which was a bad plan because by the time I realized it was going it was done. The good news is, I feel a bit more prepared for the next time and am looking forward to making a shaken espresso drink with so I can also make the ice using my super cute mini ice globe molds. Should make for an aesthetic and ASMR experience.

My goal is to buy myself the MILANO STONE from GROSCHE a classic Italian style stovetop espresso maker for my personal at home coffee bar.
