Become the Barista of Your Home: The Magic of Manual Espresso

Espresso is an alchemy. It is the search for the perfect balance between pressure, temperature, grinding and the operator's hand. Often, the dream of a creamy and intense espresso meets a disappointing reality: watery coffees, devoid of body, with weak or non-existent cream. The problem is not you, but the lack of the right tools to give you the necessary control.

Manual coffee machines are the answer for those who are not satisfied and want to experience the entire process as a real ritual. They allow you to experiment, to refine your technique and, finally, to obtain a result that speaks about you. Forget the uncertainties: with the right machine, each cup will be a small masterpiece of taste and aroma, an irresistible invitation to share a special moment.

The Secrets for a Perfect Moka, a Coffee to Share

• The Right Water: Use fresh water, possibly low in lime. Fill the boiler up to the valve level, no more.
• The Perfect Coffee: Choose a specific grind for mocha, neither too fine nor too coarse-grained. Fill the filter without pressing the powder, but by leveling it with a teaspoon to create a small mountain.
• The Sweet Flame: The biggest secret is patience. Use a low, constant fire. The coffee must rise slowly, never spurting. Remove the mocha from the heat as soon as you hear the classic mumble.
• The Final Gesture: Before screwing on the mocha, wet the gasket with a drop of water. And before pouring the coffee, mix it directly into the jug with a teaspoon to mix the thicker part that came out at the beginning with the lighter part that came out at the end.
