Tips and tricks for using the Bialetti Chicca

*VALUABLE ADDED INFO based on my experience and the comments:* 1. I realize that many people believe in NOT allowing moka pots to get to the gurgling phase, and if you choose to do that I advise you to remove the pot off your heat source and allow it to stop expelling coffee before moving the teapot off the base, otherwise you will literally have a scalding mess on your hands. (for the record, I've been using moka pots for years and all of them still work perfectly even when I let them gurgle a little so let's amicably call it a personal preference.) 2) Fastidious linguists among you, at the 00:09 mark I only realized after the fact that the font I chose does not accurately reflect IPA symbols. The correct IPA transciption is ['kik-ka]. 3) In case my suggestion about the grind size was vague, I don't mean coarse coarse - just coarser than espresso grind. Go with what you see here as a guide. ******** I've owned and used the Bialetti Chicca for several months now and learned its weaknesses. Now I'm demo-ing it to share how I get the best results! Please remember your mileage may vary, and individual machines and circumstances may make your experience different from mine. P.S. melted handles don't impact brewing function so I still use those poor pots...avoid user error and remember to turn off your stove if you don't want melted handles! You live and you learn... Be nice, it's my first video. =)
