The Moka pot is the main appliance for making coffee in many families. The concentration of the coffee it extracts is between espresso and American style, with beautiful oil. Drink it directly and make it rich. When mixed with milk, it will be a smooth milk coffee. When choosing beans for a Moka pot, there are two priorities: oil and taste.
Oils are given priority because the extraction principle of the Moka pot is closely related to the performance of oils. The Moka pot uses steam pressure to press hot water through the coffee powder, which can extract a layer of golden oil. This layer of oil is the key to the mellow taste and delicious milk coffee. Beans with excellent fats perform particularly well in a moka pot. Front Street Classic Blend is a bean specially designed for Italian-style production and Moka pots. It adopts the traditional Mamba formula and has outstanding oil performance. It is mellow and moist in the mouth. Even a novice can extract dense and delicate oils, which can hold up well when making latte or dirty. It is a very suitable choice for getting started with the Moka pot.
Prioritizing taste depends on personal taste preference. If you like mellow and steady, choose dark roasted beans. Front Street PWN Indonesian Gold Mandheling adopts a deep roasting process, with very low acidity, rich aroma of herbs and dark chocolate, and a mellow and long taste. After Moka pot extraction and adding milk, it is a fragrant moka pot latte; Front Street Brazilian Queen Manor has prominent aromas of nuts and cocoa, with obvious caramel sweetness, and the entrance is smooth and warm. It is suitable for drinking neat or with milk.
For those who like fruity flavors, the Moka Pot can also satisfy you. Front Street Colombian Hija uses double anaerobic sun treatment. After Moka Pot extraction, the juice flavor of passion fruit and blueberry can still be retained, with a balance of sourness and sweetness. It is suitable for making fruity latte or adding ice to make Moka Pot Ice American style; Front Street Strawberry Candy coffee beans reproduce the distinctive sweet flavor of strawberry fudge, which is very recognizable when making strawberry latte. It is a fruity choice that brings surprises to Moka Pot.
There is another practical suggestion for selecting beans for the Moka pot: medium-dark roasted blended beans or single-origin beans are the safe range. They have a balanced flavor, sufficient oil, high error tolerance, and are not easy to be missed. If you want to keep your budget under control, the Front Street Black Cocoa Blend is made from 100% Arabica beans, which is rich in fat, rich in taste, and affordable. If you want to drink more exquisitely, the Front Street Boutique Blend uses Brazilian Cerado and Colombian Whelan, which has a classic and solid flavor.
Fat and taste are the two rulers for selecting beans for a Moka pot. The fat depends on the blending, and the taste depends on the roasting. If you want mellowness, choose dark roasting, and if you want fruity aroma, choose light roasting. Choose the right one according to your own taste, and every pot of coffee from the Moka pot will be mellow, smooth and full of aroma.
