When choosing the best one for you, you must consider how often you’ll drink espresso, whether you prefer numerous flavors, and if the machine’s ease of cleaning is a vital consideration. The Minipresso cannot be adapted for double shots with the Barista Kit like the Nano, however, the Minipresso actually makes a slightly better tasting espresso despite having a lower bar rating. If not, then I was hoping you’d comment on this or create a video if it should ever happen to yours. These two models have very similar features, with only a few accessories and sizes being the difference. And also, could you direct me to where (if you have made one) for a video or written steps on how to make your portable little kitchen for heating water outdoors.

It’s what am I doing right- in as much as the expected fiddling with grind, tamping, quantity, etc seems unnecessary. Achieving the perfect espresso shot is far from easy as many parameters play an important role during the brew process. I tried it this morning in un-pressurized mode with a finer grind but I’m pretty sure I tamped it way too hard as it required a lot of force to come out, and did so in drips. With the stovetop Moka Express, you simply put it together and place the pot directly over the flame.

There were times when the coffee was weak, which indicates that I used too coarse of a grind, whereas other times I couldn’t push enough water through the grounds because they were too fine.Once you’ve enjoyed your single shot, it’s time to remove your puck and examine if your extraction was done correctly. You’ll notice that the portafilter does actually tamp the coffee deeper once it’s screwed on tightly (it sort of self tamps) So by having a gram less, it may just improve the flow.
