About this deal

Even though it's not café-quality, I often use the concentrated coffee from my Moka Express for lattes, which is why I recommend it as a budget alternative to an espresso maker.

One Moka cup equals about 2 fluid ounces in American measurements. Keep in mind that exact measurements can vary. However, let’s take a look at the standard cup chart for a Moka pot:

From one or two shots of espresso, you can create all of those drinks that are much more voluminous than the brew you start with. Two shots of espresso is about 60 ml which means the one cup moka pot would be enough. To produce an authentic espresso in minutes, simply fill the bottom with water add your favourite espresso ground coffee to the funnel and gently heat on your stovetop.

About Bialetti Moka Express 3 cups Italia

What’s the final verdict on choosing the right Moka pot? You really do need to go for the smallest size possible that will fit your needs to avoid running into over-extraction issues. That could mean simply getting a 3-cup pot to create single-serving coffee each morning or something like the Bialetti 6-cup Moka pot or Bialetti Moka express 12 cup for more. Keep in mind, how you spread out your coffee consumption over the day matters. If you want to drink a cup in the morning and one in the afternoon, it’s better to make fresh coffee at both times. So, in that case you only need a single cup moka pot.

It is technically possible to simply use less water than your pot’s capacity when making a smaller batch. However, the recommendation is to fill your pot with coffee grounds to the top of the filter basket. In addition, cold water should be filled to the bottom portion of the release valve or indicator line.

Of course if you regularly drink 5 espressos to get started in the morning, you should size up. Although you might want to take a look at your sleeping habits if you need that.
