Authentic espresso – The Italian way – Rozina's Persian Kitchen

It’s one of the most traditional and common coffee gadgets which is called moka pot or stove top coffee maker.

I enjoy my coffee maker a lot. My coffee maker is a Pedirini 1942, and produces a delicious coffee or espresso with that authentic Italian taste.

Every time after making coffee, hand wash the coffee maker with hot water. Don’t use the dish washer. Always keep the coffee maker clean.

Create A Beautiful Italian Espresso

Fill the funnel with coarse ground coffee. Level off with your finger and do not press
it. Remove any grounds from the lip of funnel for a secure seal.
Pour hot water in the bottom pot (base pot).Place the funnel on the base.
Use a napkin and grab the base pot with hot water and seal the it tightly.
Place the coffee maker on stove on a low heat. Keep the top cup open. Wait until steam
is being forced up through the coffee grounds.
Once coffee starts to flow, you will hear a gurgling sound. It means you should remove
it from the heat
and place bottom of the coffee maker inside a cold water bath for few seconds. This stops the brewing process and prevents a burnt flavour.

Parts of coffee maker:

It’s a grey and black colour, with aluminium construction

– one cup size in top (top cup)

– a funnel in the middle for filling with ground coffee (coffee basket)

-a pot at the bottom for water (base pot300ml)

Hello everyone, my name is Rozina. I am Iranian with Azerbaijani roots. I was raised in Iran but I am living in Scotland. I am passionate about cooking and preparing meals for my family and friends. I tell them the story behind the meal, the pronunciation of their Iranian name and the spices that used in Persian cuisine. I am a photographer, a cooking teacher, and very interested to introduce Persian and Azerbaijani meals, desserts and beverages to people from different cultures, as I love to try food from all over the world. Iranian cuisine is a combination of rice with meat ( chicken, beef, lamb, fish, turkey), nuts, fruits, dried and fresh herbs and vegetables. Iranian food is a celebration of flavor, colour and spices such as: saffron, cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, dried rose petals, dried limes, cumin, .... I share my recipes in Farsi/English along with step by step photos of preparation. I take all my own pictures. I have learned my traditional Persian and Azerbaijani recipes from my lovely mother, and she has learned from her mother. Over the years, I have experimented and learned more recipes. Some of my recipes are a fusion Western and Middle Eastern cuisine. Some are forgotten from Persian cooking tables and I try with posting and sharing those ones, to preserve them. All my recipes and pictures are property of rozinaspersiankitchen. I would be pleased if you would mention my site if you wish to use any of them. So, if you are interested to know about Persian /Azerbaijani food taste, you can try my website. I will be glad to hear your ideas about my recipes. :) Thank you for visiting my website.
