Moka pot coffee beans with different roasting degrees are suitable for slowly establishing judgment based on taste experience. Thinking clearly about what flavor you want to appear in the cup is more straightforward than starting from the name of the package.

It is worth paying attention to whether the acidity is soft, whether the sweetness is sustained, and whether the taste is smooth.
As for Moka pot coffee beans with different roasting degrees, judging from the flavor, it is easy to distinguish the refreshing floral and fruity aroma and the adjustability of nuts by separately experiencing the acidity, sweetness, mellowness and aftertaste. Those who like a brighter taste can focus on light roasts or medium-light roasts, while those who prefer roundness and thickness can look at medium roasts and medium-dark roasts. Darker roasting does not mean a stronger flavor. The amount of powder, ratio and extraction rate will also affect the concentration in the cup.

After the powder basket is filled, it is gently spread out without compacting. Heat the water in the bottom pot and keep it on medium-low heat. Pay attention to the color after the coffee liquid flows out continuously. Remove from the heat before obvious splashing occurs, which can reduce the burnt bitterness caused by the high temperature in the later stage. When this set of starting points is used for Moka pot coffee beans with different roasting degrees, it is also necessary to observe the actual taste based on flavor judgment, and there is no need to mechanically pursue a certain time number.
