Review: neat tricks to make coffee fast - We bought the Hamilton Beach 80374 Custom Grind Hands-Free Coffee Grinder, hoping to make the perfect grind for our Moka Express. Unfortunately the one we got came without instructions so we have been experimenting to find the best way to get a fast excellent cup of coffee. We have several different coffee machines, so if grinding for the Moka Express, we use the largest espresso grind setting. The Hamilton beach coffee grinder has a minimum cup amount, which is 4 cups. Bear in mind that most coffee pots are using a 6 ounce cup as their standard. Since our Moka Express only makes 2 cups espresso style coffee, we found that adding coffee beans until the blade in the grinder is just covered with beans worked great. It's important to be sure that the inside grinding cup is in place and then turned clock wise to lock in place before putting outside clear plastic cover on and turning clock wise to lock in place. They both need to be locked in place separately! This could be why some people claim that the grinder fails to work after a short time. If the inside cup is not locked in place the grinder will not work and if you try to force the outside clear plastic container you can damage the locking tabs. We discovered that using 2 measuring spoons of the ground beans (that come with the grinder) are perfect for the drinks we craft in our Moka Express. In order to shorten the brewing time we decided to start with boiling water in the lower chamber. We were very happy to save the 5+ minutes of brewing time. If you are using the boiling water, then obviously you will need to use a pot holder to protect your hands while connecting the top and bottom of the pot. We set our electric stovetop to 8 on heat indicator set the oven timer to 5 min. and proceed to heat and froth milk while coffee is brewing. Pour 1/2 coffee cup of froth and pour coffee over the milk froth. Hooray! coffee is wonderful. We use a medium roast coffee. The actual brew time is only about 2 min. using this method. The brewed coffee is very robust with medium roast more so then a drip method. Our over all goal was not to waste coffee. We have a family that get's up at different times and makes a full pot, which then would get thrown down the sink as who wants a cup of coffee that's a hour old. This way we get the benefit of saving money and having a relatively quick cup of coffee, kind of like the K cup machines, but without the cost. The flavor of an espresso machine without the cost and the counter space. It's been a win win for us. We have a battery run frother, that makes great frothy drinks. We bought rechargeable batteries so we would always have fresh power. Sending thanks to other people who suggest not to wash the Moka Express with soap. We are thrilled with all the great advice that has literally saved us hundreds of dollars on experimenting on other pricy coffee making products. Thanks desertcart that we have access to to simple, great, affordable products.
Review: Awesome Moka maker - People confuse espresso and moka as being the same thing, which because of some differences in how water is heated and passed through the grinds does cause some differences in taste and character. That out of the way, this makes a good enough moka that I didn't miss my espresso maker anymore, particularly when I compared the effort to make the two different styles of coffee. The product is made of very durable aluminium and manufactured in Italy to very high specifications of quality, a welcome change from the flood of low quality Chinese products we US citizens have to wade through. The bottom chamber holds the water and screws into the top chamber against the metal filter and rubber gasket providing a solid seal. A tip is to tighten the bottom till its snug, and then give it one more quarter turn, this gives a very tight fit upon heating as the metal and rubber will expand with the heat to finalize the fit. The top is easily figured out by the picture and handling except it has another quality that most ignore. When you first get the moka maker its very shiny on the inside, after a few uses it starts to dull with a light brown tone having banished the aluminium shine. DO NOT SCRUB THIS AWAY!!! That brownish tint to the aluminium is proof that your moka maker has been properly seasoned to get the best taste possible. All you need to do in the cleaning of this is to rinse it with tap water, though at the rubber seal on the bottom, take a little extra time and use a toothbrush there to make sure no grit or grime is present when you set it to dry since that will greatly extend the life of your seal and insure a reliable fit for your next brew. Typically it takes me less than a minute to clean mine after use. There is a little cup that fits into the bottom chamber that acts like the coffee basket, just load it up with grinds and drop it into the bottom chamber, clear any grinds along the edge to prevent it from coming into contact with the rubber seal and you're good. The use of grinds then comes into consideration, you can use a espresso grind or a somewhat finer than drip coffee grind for your base, some experimentation suited to your taste will be necessary. I grind my own beans (which if you haven't done yet I highly recommend) and use a couple notches above espresso for the fineness of the grind, as this lets a great deal of flavor from the coffee come through without unduly impeding the flow of the steam rising up through it, and I would definitely not recommend turkish grind settings. A quick word of caution based upon a friend's experience and that is do not add spices to the coffee grinds in order to make some sort of flavored moka, in particular cinnamon. Typically spices in powder form do not react the same way to hot steam the way the coffee grinds do, and frequently will clog the fine mesh filter the steam travels through, my friend ruined her moka maker this way by trying to make cinnamon flavored moka. If you must flavor your moka, use either flavored beans or after brew flavorings. Finally the taste the Moka Maker produces is different than a espresso, its got a softer tone to it and a richer flavor where my palate is concerned, and while a good espresso is still a joy of mine, the moka maker's coffee is actually preferable to me when I want something different than my usual fare from my press maker.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What size is best for one person, sometimes two?**
A: The cups are actually espresso cups and they are smaller than regular cups (imperial). They are around 50ml (1.7oz). 
The 3 cups one is just right for one person, but small for two. You can always make it twice though. But for a more regular making for 2 people, I would get the 6 cup one. 
I have the 3 cup one, and I'm about to buy the 6 cup.

**Q: Is it difficult to make two or three cups out of a six cup machine? I want a bigger one for multiple people sometimes but will mostly use it myself.**
A: Filling the 6-cup to just below the valve (as recommended) and measuring, it came to 300ml or about 9 ounces.  If you want "americano"-strength coffee, put two rounded tablespoons (15g) of illy medium roast (red band) espresso grind coffee (or lavazza or your favorite) in the basket.  If you want 4 "shots" of espresso-strength, fill the basket to the top and maybe use the dark roast (black band).  If you don't want to make "too much" coffee (is there such a thing?), simply save the leftover espresso-strength coffee in your refrigerator in a glass container and it will taste fine the next day -- just add hot water (about 4oz to 2oz of espressso)! This is what I do and it saves time in the morning =)

**Q: What are the internal parts made of?**
A: There is only two internal parts: aluminum cone to hold coffee and a gasket. I have the 3-cup, smaller version.

**Q: Having hard time cleaning Bialetti when there is mold at bottom compartment due to bottom compartment's shape. :( Any recommendations?**
A: I don't have this pot but wanted to help with your question about mold. Understand first that mold forms where there is mold spores + moisture. You may have washed your pot and reassembled it so it looks neat and it wasn't dried thoroughly. Also what kills mold is bleach. So add 10% bleach solution to scrub, using a small brush to reach corners. Slosh it around cover surfaces. I wouldn't leave it to sit because it may discolor the aluminum with prolonged exposure. Once you have removed any bits of mold ( you can smell it to be sure) always leave it to air dry even after using towels.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect ONE CUP espresso maker.
*by J***S on May 22, 2026*

This is an excellent one-cup moka (Italian espresso maker, percolator-style), for those who want to make one cup of espresso. Classical Italian model, iconic, beautifully styled in massive aluminum, flawless execution. Many of the negative reviews are written by people who complain that this machine is too small, but those people have missed the fact that this product is SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to produce only one cup.
