Opsætning og første brug
Before using your Moka Express for the first time, follow these steps:
- Skille ad: Unscrew the top chamber from the bottom chamber. Remove the filter funnel.
- Vask: Wash all parts with clean water. Do not use detergents, as they can damage the aluminum and affect coffee flavor.
- Samle: Reassemble the Moka Express.

Betjeningsvejledning
Følg disse trin for at brygge kaffe med din Bialetti Moka Express:
- Fyld kedlen: Fill the bottom chamber with cold water up to the level just below the safety valve. Using good quality water is recommended for optimal taste.
- Tilsæt kaffe: Insert the filter funnel into the bottom chamber. Fill the filter funnel with ground coffee. Do not press or tamp the coffee. Ensure the coffee grounds are level with the rim of the funnel.
- Saml gryden: Screw the top chamber firmly onto the bottom chamber. Ensure the threads are clear of any coffee grounds to prevent steam leakage and improper brewing.
- Placering på komfuret: Place the Moka Express on a stovetop burner. For gas stoves, ensure the flame does not extend beyond the base of the pot to prevent handle damage and burnt coffee.
- Bryg kaffe: Use low to medium heat. High heat can burn the coffee and result in a bitter taste. The water will heat, create steam pressure, and force the coffee up into the top chamber.
- Overvåg brygning: As the coffee begins to gurgle and fill the top chamber, the first few spurts should appear syrupy and dark. This indicates proper extraction. Avoid lifting the lid during brewing to prevent steam loss and splattering.
- Tag af varmen: As soon as the bottom chamber is empty (indicated by sputtering noises and the top chamber being full), immediately remove the Moka Express from the heat source. Leaving it on the heat will burn the coffee.
- Tjene: Gently swirl the pot or stir the coffee before pouring to ensure an even consistency, as the initial brew is more concentrated.
