Optimal brewing temperature is ~93.0°C. So steam is too hot.

- smorgusofborg 5y agoI would think that is the best brewing temperature at 0 bar? An espresso machine is going to reach higher temperatures and makes a good coffee. https://www.valvesonline.com.au/references/steam-tables/ https://www.valvesonline.com.au/references/steam-tables/
- messe 5y agoDone properly, steam shouldn’t be going through the coffee grounds in a moka pot. The expansion of the air (and evaporation of the water as well admittedly) in the lower chamber pushes the hot water up through them.
- tokai 5y agoIf the water steams enough to rise the pressure its definitely not 93 degrees. Also the grounds are heated by the moka itself.
