My flatmate keeps forgetting his moka pot on the hob and needs to buy new rubber seals pretty regularly.

- hiddevb 5y agoAnd the great thing is Bialetti sells these parts for pretty cheap: https://www.bialetti.com/us_en/accessories/spare-parts.html https://www.bialetti.com/us_en/accessories/spare-parts.html I love that products and companies like these still exist, sad indeed that they have such a hard time to survive.
- smorgusofborg 5y agoThe electric moka shuts itself off with the same system as a rice cooker and is extremely durable as long as it is an all metal exterior. I don't know why they are so hard to find.
- CannisterFlux 5y agoI got in the habit of setting an alarm on my phone for 5 minutes after I put the pot on. Even if I think I'm going to stay in the kitchen and watch it, I set the alarm. It's amazing how I get distracted, forget that I put the damn thing on as if it never existed, then the alarm goes off and I think "oh yeah!! the coffee!".

- dredmorbius 5y agoTo accompany the simple moka pot, buy a simple mechanical bell timer. Brew time is pretty much precisely 6 minutes. Set pot on stove, set timer. When bell rings, coffee is ready. (A timer built into your cooker / microwave can also work, I find their alarms are not loud enough.)

- dredmorbius 5y agoPresuming high heat, it's pretty consistent. I've noted this across a dozen or more cooktops. The surface area of the pot bottom is the limiting factor more than anything else. Sure, low heat and widely-divergent hobs exist. Standards and conventions help ensure reasonable convergence.
- SyzygistSix 5y agoIn my experience it had more to do with how high the person making the coffee was.
