You could just find a small rubber plug with a bit of a shoulder on one end to put partly inside that centre tube when placing the ground coffee inside the holder. That would allow easier distribution of the ground coffee into the whole holder rather than getting coffee all over your fingers.

Bellman has this without the moka function, to be used purely as a milk steamer along with your lever espresso machine. But I love this one, same size, plus all-in-one moka/steamer you can bring on your trips. Very nice engineering.

Hi, Great informative and simple video. I have a Breville BES850 Barista Express at home that I absolutely love. I find it sooooo consistant and very easy to tweak and adjust to beans/ grind etc .... I need something for caravaning and at times without 240v (although I have a 3000W inverter to do the job temporarily - would rather not have to use this). Will I be able to replicate EXACTLY what I'm able to get at home (Almond Flat White - double shot) with the beans that I could either buy or pre grind at home? I have never used plunger coffee etc ...... and are not interested in going that way either!

The steam is fantastic and so easy to do 2-4 cups! The first brew was tasting like a traditional moka pot.

It’s not like Esprssso where the water is forced thru because we opened the tap

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters the "is it comparable to an espresso vs moka brew/taste" is what i think many are wondering (thanks Damian Smith for having asked), i'm from Italy (hi) where we all have mokas, some still use the old-fashioned flipdrips (i do) but we lack a real cheap simple home espresso maker (as far as i know at least). Other than an expensive, electric, maintenance-needing machine. And espresso would be best for milk drinks. Apart from: different extraction, taste, crema, etc. Only options to my (little) knowing are: handpresso (bit like a bike pump); simple lever tool (can't remember the name but jamed hoffman reviewed and approved, they go by same prices as these there)... Your video is great, I'll watch more, however I'm still left wondering about the espresso vs moka thing. Honestly to have a moka-like brew, i might as well be better off with a simpler (and 3 times cheaper, or even less) moka and a milk frother. But it's the crema I'd like to have. It's not like a bar espresso, but apparently it does deliver a good amount of crema. Hmmm... lol

With a typical moka pot, the water simply pushes up through the grounds whenever it reaches high enough pressure to do so. In that case, the actual Brew pressure is determined by how fine your grind is and how much coffee you put in. On this unit, the ability to control the flow of hot water through the grounds allows you to aim for a specific pressure range, and maintain that range by increasing or decreasing the flow. Hopefully you're enjoying creamy espresso from your machine by now!
