Btw, This Old Tony While rewatching this video about 329th time I thought I'll share one piece of advice with you When you try to polish just about anything, I suggest you trying to use 3M's P3000 Trizact for final/just before final step It's a spongy sandpaper used for wet sanding. The finish is just lovely. I saw it in form of 150mm diameter discs for sanders and I'm not sure if there is any other, maybe different diameters, but anyway it's still good for manual work. I heard about "higher" grits ("higher" like P6000) and never used it though, but I assume finish would be even better. Although I highly recommend against P1000, bad experiences with those.

MR Bialetti has been a precise man and like every Italian engineer had passion for design and simmetry. So he designed the pressure relief valve placement to mark the correct torque for the gasket. He designed the Moka to have the valve and the spelt to be in a vertical line when torqued correctly. In effect despite that attention, even in Italy every day we abuse a lot of poor gaskets.

Beth the friendly manual/ CNC machinist here! If you’re ever worried about collapsing thin walled section that you’re machining, take a very heavy depth of cut compared to your desired wall thickness at a slower feed rate on your final cut. This essentially ensures the cut is self supporting and therefore you can’t collapse the bushing that you’re making! :) this is how they make bushes with 0.15mm walls :). Give it a go on some scrap and you’ll find some luck!

Uhm, it's been two years almost, I don't know how many Italians commented on your moka, you have one here now! I'm certain you couldn't wait to have an oversensitive Italian here to tear into your work! Here I am, my man! That's not an espresso, my man, that's a completely different thing, espresso machine works by percolation under pressure, 14 atmospheres at least, so that the temperature doesn't need to go over 70°C, making the coffee taste like an espresso. You made a lovely moka which, you know, makes coffe that tastes like moka! We love it and it's common for home coffe but we never call it espresso, because... it's not. Good job of course, actually astonishing! You need to know that steel makes better mokas, I don't know if you can work on steel with the same equipment. Moreover, a coffee making advice, I hope you appreciate (if you even read this comment section two years later), so there you go, Italian coffee making advice, ready? Don't freaking overcook your defenseless coffe, you monster, you villain! Strong fire under your moka can be used for maximum a minute (if you want to be coarse and gross and lowbrow), and then lower the fire and wait for the magic, more flame than that is already burning your coffe. The accurate way to do it is actually starting with a low flame from the beginning and turn it off a few seconds after the coffee starts to come out. Coffee shouldn't be spouting like that, it should come out slowly and gently. You burned your coffee and you even said it tasted like an espresso...man! What in the world happened to your taste buds? Should I believe the stereotype "Americans have no taste buds" (that's the clean version, the dirty version is "Americans spread baby-poop on their tongues") do I have to believe that? I'm only joking of course (not really). Anyway I just subscribed because I love your content and you are very funny, the filmmaking is also very good, this is a wonderful channel. I hope you'll make better coffee with that deluxe moka you made yourself.

You are right about the placement of the pressure valve. You want it pointing away from you. Also the height of it is useful as an indicator to fill it up with water to the correct volume. Great build!

If you begin with hot water in the bottom chamber and keep the stove temp low you'll get a better espresso that won't taste bitter. Very nice design though, love the wooden accents against the polished aluminium. One of the nicest looking moka pots I've seen!

There will never be espresso coming form this thing. It might be called an "Espresso pot", but what it makes is just coffee. For espresso you need much higher pressures.

I love it when Tony says the start of a sentence and then says it again but with an ending. It's a wonderful way of explaining something while subtlety making a point about having given that explanation with perfect timing, but while also drawing attention away from the fact that all of that timing of the video was laid out right from the start. But that's just me.

Great job! Now you need a tamper to pack the grounds down good and tight. Thanks for this. So I get where you are coming from on projects like these. I am an electrical engineer but my true passion is custom wood working and I own a custom wood working shop. When I don’t have a customer project to work on, I find myself really testing my skill and knowledge with my tools. So I get it and thanks for letting me know I’m not the only one who does this sort of thing. All the best to you and yours!!

No sir - you must NEVER pack the coffee grounds down tight in a Moka pot , or if you do, the pot could explode if the safety valve malfunctions - you may be thinking of the espresso coffee makers used in restaurants and coffee bars , yes in those the grounds are packed tight as those machines work at a much higher pressure - so in moka pots the grounds are just allowed to settle under their own weight - i know as i have used moka pots for more than 60 years and we also have an industrial coffee maker as used in coffee shops.

@joshuacollins385

From what I've heard it's a pretty huge difference. Steam penetrates a lot of layers of skin in a way that water just doesn't unless you're submerged.
@NaHaldIch
4 жыл бұрын
being a plumer, i can confirm this due to own experience... water needs a heck of a lot of energy to vaporize. that combined with the ability to penetrate way deeper into human skin makes a vapor scalding way worse (and more painful for that matter) than a water scalding.

The first coffee i ever tasted was brewed in such a pot. We call it an "Italian nut", because the most common type here has the angular shape of a nut. I'm still brewing my coffee every morning in such a pot. Not as strong as a real espreeso, from a proper high-pressure machine, but still beats every other alternative! And you made this just right! Good job!
